JOHNSTON SETS MARK
FOR BRILLIANT GOLF

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-Harrison r.
Johnston of St Paul today is not only
Western amateur golf champion as a
result of his victory in the final
Albert Seckel of Chicago, but he is
the possessor of a record for brilliant
golf that may stand for many years.
Records fail to show such a display
of golf as he made in the last five
holes of his winning match in
any major championship.
Johnston. known internationally as
long driver for some time. re-
vealed to the world that while he has
changed his style and thereby reduced
the length of his wooden shots, he
also Is 4 master of irons and at times
wizard with the putter. His long
irons were not always of champion
ship caliber, but his mashie pitches
were of the type that made Harry
Vardon and Chick Evans famous, and
for the most part his tee shots We're
as straight as rifle shots.
1t was while under the greatest
pressure that Johnston showed his
ability and gameness to the highest
degree: for when he was down
and only5 to go, he braced for the
second time during the tournament
and sent the gallery wild with his
brilliancy.
He scored the last holes in just
l6 strokes, and might have taken
two fewer if forced to hole out in one
putt on the 18th and 18th holes.
He topped the spectacular display
by holing 35-foot putt for birdle
3 on the final hole. the first long
one he had been able to get down all
day except one in the first round
And none of his last five holes was
due to lucky breaks, saving possibly
the last long putt. He played them
Just the way he scored them.

In view of this close finish it is ap-
parent that every. stroke was vital
TALLY destructive. And when you
consider the prize for which we were
battling you will admit that one
would have a right to call such a
play "the most disastrous" he ever
made.
Starting the third round, there
were only about two shots between
Hagen, Hutch" and me. And then
came to the. third hole!
British seaside course That is to
say. rough natural ground, dotted
with sand hummocks, extended from
the tee most of the way to the green.
the tee this eliminated in a rather
high sand hill, the latter being suffi-
ciently elevated to render the green
invisible, with only the flag to guide
the eye of the player. Beyond the
hill short fair green led to the
green
The wind was coming in stiffly al
most directly in my face as I swung
my spoon. Nevertheless, it appeared
to me that had gotten a nice, clean
shot-one that would find the green
to a. certainty. But the ball failed
to rise sufficiently, failed to clear the
sandhill by. inches and dropped back
This was annoying, but not neces-
sarily tragic. because / lay only 40
yards from the flag. There was a
chance that / might lay my second
close enough to the hole to get down
in 3. At worst, l should have T.
a 4.
But I counted my chickens before
they were Matched. Some one in
the gallery, working his way across
the the course, had left a trail of
deep footprints in the side of the
sandhill and my ball had found the
bottom of one of these.
For moment I considered making
a second shot from the tee. But there
was was a change that, because OF the
I decided to play from the spot where
my ball lay. l might reach the green.
and If I could do no more than get
out Of that footprint all would be
well-six inches would turn the trick.

Easy Way to Drive Sows
to Prevent Excitement

At narrowing time 1t Is not always
an easy matter to drive heavy brood
sow from the yard into the pen in the
hog house where she is to farrow. To
save time and undue excitement Of
the SOW, use a simple device that can
easily be made.
Make a bottomless crate Of light
but strong boards. The length Of the
crate ought to be at least six feet, a
little longer than the largest sow to
be handled and a little higher than
the SOW stands, say about three and
one-half feet. The crate need not be
clumsily or heavily made. 1t must be
light enough for one man to carry.
When the SOW to be put In the pen
is eating or nosing about the ground.
step up with the crate and quietly
slip 1t over her. AS she cannot turn
around In 1t, she will walk forward;
and as she walks. a man can guide
her to the door Of the pen, lift up one
end of the crate and allow her to
walk Into the pen.

Sheep Give Big Profits
Besides Clearing Land

Thirty farmers who raised sheep
chiefly for the purpose of clearing land
In 1923 made a profit of $26,S23.53,
compilation of their reports to Oklaho-
ma A. and M. college shows.
Fourteen of the sheep raisers said
feed for the year did not cost them
anything, because the animals lived
on weeds and waste. They did not
include in their profits the value of
the land the sheep cleared, or the cost
of clearing by other methods.
Combined flocks of the group of 30
farmers counted 3,617 ewes January
/ last year, p II. Lowery, live stock
specialist in the extension division Of
the college, reports. They were vat
ued at $50, 765, thus showing the profit
to be nearly 120 per cent.
From the ewes on hand, 3,115
lambs were raised which sold for
S21, S53.2S Wool sheared from the
combined fiocks weighed 23,477
pounds, and was sold for SS,450.45.
Sixteen members OF the group made a
total charge of s3,671.20 for feed, re-
ports to Lowery show.
