1 DID GOLF ADVANCE
 WITH PAST YEAR?
Many Problems Still Unsolved By Golf Association
 Rulings

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-With the end of the competitive golf season practically in sight links followers can look backward and ask them selves the question whether or not the game in America has advanced since the beginning of 1923. Like large cities which grow rapidly larger, the royal sport finds it in creasingly difficult to keep its house l in order. Where it was confrohted with one problem a few years ago, it Is faced with a dozen today.
 l In former times golfers concerned | themselves little oyer the. imple- ments of the game. So long as they had ball. club or two and a place to play they were content; but grad i rally the weapons of crude workman ship were replaced by others showing more care as to design and finish. Courses likewise improved wonder fully as a result of much grooming.
 This naturally. was as it should be- The object in golf, like everything else, is to advance, perfect in one way or another as the brain of man i devises. So long as the Fundamentals are not disturbed there is no logical reason why the game should not be made as attractive as possible. Tn way, the United States Gold as sociation seems inclined to lean over 1 backwards in its manner of exerting restraining influence on various forms of progression.
 An Unpopular Law.
 Legislating against deeply scored or punched faced clubs was, to use the phase, Nike "crying before being hurt,n and the same might be said regarding the steel shaft. The latter, however, affords just another strik- ing illustration of how difficult 1t is to enforce an unpopular law, bt it in national affairs, or in the realm of sport. Although it failed to sanction steel shafted clubs, the U. S. G. A. soon discovered that it's adverse leg islation in no wise prevented the sale of those weapons.
 When the veterans gathered at Apawamis in September for the an- ! nual tournament of the Seniors Golf association it was found that quite percentage of that large field, number ing between 300 and 400 players. had one or more steel shafted clubs in their bags. Many of these contestants, men of affairs, had travelled long dis tances to take part in the event and the committee wisely decided not to mar the enjoyment of the visitors by ordering the latter to refrain from using their favorite clubs during the | tournament.
 That steel clubs will be sanctioned before a great while, is S good as certainty. This action was to have been taken months ago. but was put off by the executive committee, which unexpectedly found itself confrontes with other problems that are proving hard to solve

Italy To Back Races

MILAN. Nov. 13.--Italy horsemen are searching for an Italian Epinard Zev or Papyrus. A purse for racing in Italy will be offered early in 1924 for 3-year-olds. The purse will aggre- gate 500,000 lire and will be given by a group of sportsmen who desire to encourage the breeding of thorough bred stock in Italy.
 The recent international race. in which Zev and Papyrus participated has given added impetus to the zeal of Italian horsemen to produce race horses with as good blood as those in other countries.

GENIUS FINDS MANY OUTLETS
Interesting to Note What a Perusal
of the Patent Office Gazette
Will Disclose.

Mouse traps were selected by a
philosopher as the subject for his IL
lustration of the esteem of inventive
genius. If he were alive today he
would probably be a constant and
thoughtful reader of the Patent ONCE
Gazette, one of the most matter-of-fact
publications of our time, remarks the
Nations Business.
In q single issue he would observe,
not only mouse traps, but contr1vances
for pretty much the whole range OF
modern activity. Fishing tools to
use In oil wells appear next to Hve-bait
boxes for the real disciples of lsaak
Walton. Apparatus for making pc
troleum increase It's yield in gasoline

gether. A car bumper which laughs at

BUREAU PICNIC
AT BROCKTON JUNE 9

Plans are being made by the ex-
ecutlve committee of the Roosevelt
Farm Bureau to have their annual
picnic at B~rockton, June g..
The committee has already started
making elaborate plans for this pic
mic and if their plans develop any
ways ear their original plans the
program will be an interesting one
from an educational and r~ecreational
standpoint.
They plan to have one good out
SIDE speaker, such as j. w. Hamil-
ton, j. G. Haney of w. C. Pallock.
They will have the smut treatment
demonstration and demonstrate the
home made and manufactured tillage
implements in action, auction of
home made implements, a few COM
petitive track events, a base ball
game between two of the strongest
teams in the county, plenty of music
and a bowery dance.
1t is believed that farmers who
have not seen the home made tillage
implements and the smut machine in
action will have the opportunity to
do so as this will be one of the last
series of demonstrations.
An ideal picnic ground with plenty
of shade trees has been selected a
quarter of a mile from Brockton.
1t is further believed that with
such a central location as Brockton
and if weather conditions permit, all
farmers in Roosevelt county will be
there with their lunches and enjoy
a day of sport and recreation.-D.

PROGRESS In THE
CRUSCH Community

Last Friday night the Crusch com
munity, after a very successful rec
r~eational program, appointed a com
mittee of five consisting of Mr.. La
Pouse, Mr.. Ferguson, Mr.. Shower,
Mrs. Ferguson, and Mrs. Walter
Johnson to discuss and develop a
community program of work and to
make recommendations for organic
ing their respective communities on
a similar plan as other communities
in the county are organized. This
plan met the approval of practically
every farmer in the community and
it is believed that IN another year the
Crusch community will be one of the
best communities in the whole county.
The Crusch community has been
organized for recreational purposes
during the winter throught the eff
forts of Miss Mathews and a number
of the more progressive farmers and
as a result of this organization very
interesting programs have been held
and much has been added to the com

CLOTH COVERINGS PROTECT
PLANTS AGAINST FROSTS

Coverings of rather heavy cloth
laid directly over garden truck or
other low-growing plants are effect
i've in protecting against moderate
frosts, the United States Department
of Agriculture reports. The heat
from the ground and the plants is
conserved, and the losses of heat by
radiation from the plant to the sky
are cut off, moreover, the air move
ment IS so slight near the ground that
there is little tendency for the cold
outside air to be forced under or
through the covering.
The temperature of the surface of
the cloth exposed to the sky is low
cred by radiation and may fall to
a low point, but as both the cloth
itself and the air underneath are
very poor conductors of heat, the
temperature of the covered plants
falls much more slowly. The heat
hat has penetrated a few inches into
ground during the day is slowly
conducted to the surface during the
and aids in keeping the tempe
nature under the cover above the
freezing point.
1t is evident, therefore, that cover
ings of this kind should be placed
early in the evening when a frost is
expected, before much of the heat &C
cumulated in the soil during the day
has been lost. Tin cans or other
metal coverings should not be used
to protect plants from frost. Metals
are good conductors of heat and are
also good radiators unless very highly
polished. Therefore the temperature
is likely to fall nearly as low under
a covering of this kind as in the out
side air.

GENERAL RAINS ARE
FORECAST FOR JUNE
By Prof. G. R. Petite

Our prediction iase DvcrmDer GnaS
most of the farm work would be done
in May this season generally over the
northwest, and in answer to numerous
inquiries that farm operations would
not begin until April 18th, is being
fully verified and we look for con-
siderable cold nights and raw chilly
winds for some time yet.
The storm periods for March and
April were well accounted for in most
parts of the country but of course
with the minimum amount Of precip-
itation in these regions.
The remaining storm periods for
April are central the 22nd and 9th.
The storm periods for May are GEN.
trail the Ord, 9th, 18th, goth, 25th
and 31st. The combinations for the
3rd are weak but for the 9th a little
stronger also for the 18th and GOTH,
which are probably the only periods
that will develop any precipitation
here and these look light. There will
probably be pretty warm weather
around the middle of May as the
Earth, Sun, Mercury and Jupiter will
be nearly in line at this time, watch
and see.
We look for a cool growing season
and quite general rains from about
June 18th to July 8th-Producers

MONTANA SHIPS SEED
CORN EAST AND SOUTH

How one farmer in Montana is
carrying Goals to Newcastle" by
shipping seed corn to Kansas is re-
lated in the official bulletin of the
Montana Development association
which is published at Billings. AL
though Montana is regarded as one
of the youngest of the corn growing
states, this grower has been ship
ping seed corn to many other states
and received orders from North Da-
kota for two cars of seed corr and
orders from Canada for another car
after his supply had been exhausted.
"To reduce overhead COSTS" says
this Montana cor grower, 81 select
the best of n or two fields for seed,
and then turn a bunch of feeder cat
tie and spring pigs in to harvest the
balance. l aim to have enough of
this to carry them until deep snow,
then yard them and finish up with all
the corn and alfalfa they can eat.
This puts on fat very fast and at a
very low labor cost.
"Last fall | bought a drove of 100
pound pigs, turned them in the feed
lot behind corn-fed cattle and sold
them 80 days later weighing 270
pounds-a net gain of ITO pounds
in 80 days. The quality was so high
that they topped the market by 40
cents. They cost $500 and sold for
$7.40 per hundred weight f. o. b.
