BY MILDRED JONES

The side under arm is a good
fundamental stroke, although the
muscle coordination is rather diff
fcult as the tendency of gravity
to pull the body either forward
or backward in the water must
be overcome. by establishing bal
ance in side floating and swim
ming.
The, scissors kick comes on
cording to the muscular develop
dual. most people. however, swim
on their right side. Raise your
left leg forward, knee bent at al
most right angles to the body, at
the same time move the right leg
backward. knee slightly bent and
stretch both legs, knees and
ankles together with a quick hard
movement The kick really. as
it's name implies, works like a
scissors as the legs separate and
come together.
Practice this kick by floating
on side, head either under or out
of water as preferred. right arm
extended above head and left
hand on hip
Arm Motion
Hands start in front of body,
the right arm which guides as well
as strokes shoots straight out
above the head. wrist straight
fingers together while the left
arm, hand cupped, fingers togeth-
er, pushes the water with dowE-
ward and backward motion. Then
the guiding arm. palm down
moves straight down to side as the
left arm RECEIVERS through water
to the starting position to begin
another stroke.
To com bine the. two. the legs
band preparatory to kicn as the
right arm is pulling down. left re-
covering, and the kick comes as
the right or guiding arm is moving
out above head, left arm extending
down at side This stroke shou. q
be done entirely under water and
without single splash from
either arms or legs.
Side Overarm
The side overarm uses the same
scissors kick as the side dnderar1r
but it is timed at different place
in the stroke.
Arm Notion
The first movement OF the arms
is identical to that IN the side
underarm, except that the palm OF
the guiding hand is turned up. III
the second movement the riSh'
arm. instead of coming straigh'
down at side, moves forward IL
=! front of the body, at tie sans
time the left arm comes up out o
the water, elbow bent, and reache-
out close to the body. and the
thumb leading into the water
again pulls downward and back
ward ready to begin another
stroke.
The scissor kick comes after the
right arm has finished its prI
through the water and IS begin
ming its upward movement.
The side oyerarm is an easy
| tireless stroke which combines
| speed with grace and is uses
| largely IN races as well as III loEs
| distance swimming.

SIURE{'
CAUSE. BIG Loss
Careless Farming in West
Virgin MIA Blamed for
Small Returns

Since West Virginia is probably
better adapted to the production OF
live stock than to any other farm
ing industry, and since nearly two
thirds Of the improved land of West
Virginia is in pasture, 1t is highly
important that attention be given
to the care of pastures. Yet, fnves-
itigation shows that improper prac-
tees, particularly in turning cattle
out to pasture in the spring before
the grass gets start cause great
damage to the pastures and probao'
ly losses mounting into millions.
West Virginia sends 95 per cent
Of her cattle and sheep to marker
directly from pastures instead OIL
the feed lot, according to investiga-
lions conducted by Prof. l. S. Cook
on some 200 farms in Gilmer, Har-
rison, Nicholas Pendleton, Upshur
and Wayne counties. If properly
cared for. Professor Cook regards
the pasture grass as West Virginia
most valuable crop, since the in
come from the livestock industry is
in almost direct relation to the con-
ditions OF the pastures.
To Issue Bulletin
The Investigations conducted In
these countries will be shown IN
bulletin to be printed soon by the
West Virginia Agricultural Expert
ment Station and to be called
West Virginia Pastures"
Much valuable information to
farmers is contained in this bullet
In. The survey of these six counties
showed that it required about four
acres Of pasture to Craze COW,
and little more for a three year
old steer. An acre of pasture, worth
S34, produces seventy pounds gain
on such steer. Few farmers con-
sidered it necessary to furnish
more than two and half acres
per animal. More than eighty per
cen. of the stock was turned out
on the pasture before May 5, con-
trary to the recommendations that
stock be kept off the pasture until
The grass had time to get we'll start
ed. usually about May 10 to Is.
Another cause of poor pastures
was found to be cropping previous
to establishing permanent pas
ture and frequent breaking up Of
pasture land for cropping The sur
face washing of the land during
cropping rem owes large amount
of the accumulated humus and
makes the following pasture thin,
OF course.
To build up pasture land, an ap-
plication of clover and grass seed
with acid phosphate may be given
profitably to bare and broken sod
portions Of the pasture. Lime, in adj
dition to these, may produce fur

ces, although most tests where it
has been applied to permanent pas
lures have been given negative re-
suits. especially when applied with

though an application of complete

treatments produced sufficient

ed improvement.
An application OF clover and
grass seed with acid phosphate
gave equally as satisfactory results
as the complete fertilizer on a

rontfuuets from page ene1
$3.50. This price was set by Henry
B. Spencer, Washing ton, federal
fuel distributor, after Governor
Morgan had requested a raise in
price from $3.50 to $3.50
No Cars Is Penalty
Coal operators who are willing
to cooperate. with the Hoover plan
will have the first chance at rail
road cars. Under arrangements
made coal operators will be oblig-
ed to ship on class 1 priorities at
$3.50 ton and those who are
willing to observe the Hoover plan
will receive their empties first.
Operators who do not want to go
along will get cars if there are any
left after the operators filling the
Hoover priorities are taken care
of.
Mostly PrioritIes
Indications are that the bulk OF
the coal loaded on the Monongah
Division, B. & o. for some time will
be priority shipments. This Is due
to the fact that the empties are
scarce now and the drain of priorf.
ties will practically take all the
available coal.
however, on the hOnonSanela
Railway, the possibilities are that
there will be more commercial
coal available because the car sup
ply has been more adequate re
