Potato Spraying to
Increase the Yield
Many Dollars May Be Saved
to the Growers.

by proper attention to disease con-
troll through spraying, many thousands
of dollars may be saved by the potato
growers" says the plant pathologist
at the New Jersey College Of Agricul-
ture.
'The use of high-grade fertilizer,
planting vigorous seed, and thorough
cultivation are not the only steps nee
essary to insure the production of a
profitable potato crop. No matter how
much plant food is available in the
soil, it cannot be utilized by a plant
that has most of it's leaves destroyed
by fungus pests. The leaf is the fac
tory in which the starch is manufac-
tured and if not protected from dis
eases it cannot be expected to give
maximum returns.
Results obtained at the expert
ment station the past five years show
conclusively that where the potato
crop Is properly sprayed, increased
yields will result. A number of spray
tests conducted with the Irish Cobbler
variety since 1919 show an average in
crease of 42.6 bushels per acre from
spraying with homemade bordeaux
mixture. In tests conducted this year
on the farm of J. HI. Handle at Elmer,
Irish Cobbler potatoes sprayed seven
times with homemade bordeaux mix
ture gave 80 bushels more per acre
than did unsprayed potatoes. On the
I. B. Van Derveer farm at Freehold,
spraying Irish Cobblers and Green
Mountains gave increased yields
amounting to 80 and so bushels per
acre, respectively. In the light Of
these results it is questionable if the
potato grower can afford to omit
spraying, as one of the necessary steps
in potato growing"

Eggs From Pekin Ducks
Used Most for Matching

Ducks may be fed on the rations
recommended for chickens, but better
results are usually secured by feeding
more green and vegetable feeds and a
larger proportion Of mash. Eggs from
Pekin ducks are used largely for
Matching, and the profit is secured in
producing green ducklings; therefore
these ducks are fed a maintenance ra-
ton after they stop laying in the sum-
mer until about December 1, when a
laying ration is given and the amount
of mash increased.
Runner ducks have been introduced
as producers of commercial eggs, so
they should be fed laying ratiOns
throughout the year If kept for egg
production.

Dairy Barn Facilities

In order to carry on dairying sue

 When Canoe OyerturnS

Athol, Aug. Pt-Fred Forbes, about 40, was drowned at Lake Ro- hunta yesterday afternoon at 5:2o He was out in a canoe with Jac- aueline Dinsmore of South Boston, whom he was to marry Saturday.

Tt is important to remember that the little ball will wait pa- tiently on the tee until we hit 1t.
 The Average Golfer
 The average golfer swings as if he were afraid the ball is going to run away It is a remarkable thing that many baseball players accus- toned to hitting a swiftly thrown ball, hurled with the intent to de- ceive, are much more nervous when facing an innocent little golf ball that has no other motive but to sit still and await it's masters pleas- ure."
 Hagen was reminded that many critics have declared nlm a better match than medal player.
 That's one thing I'd like to set golfers right on." he declared. 'The idea that there is any difference be- tween match and medal play al- ways has amused me. There's only one kind of golf and that is hitting the ball from tee to green and hol- ing out in the cup. I play medal play always, that is, in the sense of always going out after pars in- stead of trying to match shots with an opponent. There Is only one time in match play when che should take notice of his opponent and that is on the green where it is necessary to know whether one should go for the cup or play safe.
 Tt is an admission of weakness for golfer to insist that he cannot play match golf If he is an expert stroke player because he always has the privilege of playing medal play golf in matches.
 Personally I can look back with more pleasure on my medal play rounds in open championships than match play because most of my sue cess has been in stroke competitions. where one has the entire field to fight instead of one man"
 A study of Hagen's record sup ports the view that, his main tri- umphs have been in stroke competi- ton although it also is true that some of his most brilliant victories have been at match play. Earlier this year for instance. he trounced the recent king of golf. Bobby Jones, by a margin of 12 up and II to go in a 72-hole match in Florida. In England, Hagen triumphed over his foremost British professional rival. Abe Mitchell, in another 72-hole battle but his latest victory, In the eastern open championship, was at stroke competition and included a record-breaking card of 1S2 for the ! first 36 holes of the test.
 Altogether. since winning his fisrt American open crown in 1914. Ha- gen has played in GA open tourna- ments of major importance here and abroad, winning A of them. Thus he has emerged triumphant on an average of better than once in every three tournament efforts. He has taken a golf title from every coun- I try except Canada. He has won the championship of the professional golfers association of America for the past two years-a match play affair-and will defend his title in September at the Salisbury club. Long Island.

WALTER HAGEN, NOTED GOLF STAR, fl
 ADVISES ALL BEGINNERS TO RELAX"

taking it easy" and taking noth- ing for granted" plus keen deter imitation and a rare ability to rise to his greatest heights in emergen- cies, that have lifted Hagen 10 the pre-eminent position he holds among the worlds foremost professionals. Aided by these factors over a span of a dozen years in major tournament competition. Hagen has established himself as the greatest pinch hitter" in the game, one of the most colorful and spectacular players that golf has ever known. He has won more ''open" titles, shattered more records and staged more fourlshing finishes for victo- ries in that period than any other competitor. "Hagen's finish" on the links has become as famous to the sports world of today as was Garri- sons in horse racing years ago.
 Neither the widest rushes of the galleries nor the most exciting of situations apparently ever ruffle the even tempo of Hagen's shot-making or detract his attention from the main purpose in hand-playing the game. He has a record of never having been beaten in play-off for an important title and many of his greatest triumphs have found him calm and concentrating. oblivious to to the nerve-wracking elements in situations which have caused many another star to 'hlow up."
 On thousands who have followed Hagen's sensational course he has left an indelible impression of this ] serenity, evident not only in the deliberate character of his game but also in his personal appear ance. Always hatless and debonair, Hagen reflects the fashion plate of the links. from natty socks, care fully creased "plus-fours" and brightly hued sweater to his glis- tening, perfectly parted black hair,
 Classes It a Pleasure
 At the same time the man who annually makes more than a presi- 1 dents salary for taking part in championships and exhibition l matches regards golf more as a pleasure than a business. a fact which his freinds believe is large
 ly responsible for his unprecedent-
 ed success. Hagen leaves all busi-
 ness arrangements to his manager ! or his associates in various enter l prises, while he directs his own in-
 terest to the game, getting the full
 benefit of the sport and in it as
 we'll as the competitive thrill.
 .. What other advice would you
 give duffers besides urging relaSa- l tion?" Hagen was asked.
 There are a lot of things to be considered besides hitting the. bali. " 1 he replied. but unless we unbend
 and relax they are not worth bothering with. I might suggest some of the fundamentals. such as

Wizard of Links Explains That He Learned Secret of Success While Trying to Keep Up With HutchisOn. .... ..

(The Associated Press herewith presents another of a series of ar lticles Illuminating national sports and their chief figures It is an interview with Walter Hagen. lead ing professional golfer of the world, written by Alan J. Gould, sports editor. The interview is copyright ed by the Associated Press.)
 New York, Aug. tPl-The duffers in golf who are struggling to break loo" can make a long stride toward their goal if they will follow the ladvice of no less an authority than Walter Hagen. and relax"
 The American professional cham pion declares, relaxation" is the one thing that every golfer should learn, lyet how many of them. knowing well the advantage of loose, supple muscles, tighten up and become as lstiff as poker when they are about to hit the ball? This ruins more shots than any other one thing l can mention"
 In thus passing on, through the Associated Press, what he regards as the most helpful of all hints he can give to the inexperienced, Ha- gen also strikes a keynote in the Remarkable success of his own career. No champion in the game (, eli ho HanGn who learned this lesson some years ago in disastrous attempt to keep pace with the irrepressible veteran, Jock Hutchison.
 Met In Finals
 Jock and l met in the finals of the first P. G. A. tournament ever held. Jock set off like a race-horse and I tried to gallop along with him We covered the course in the as- tonishing time Of something like an hour and a half, but where Jock was used to that sort of thing l got into all kinds of trouble, hurried my shots, and, of course, lost the match. r That taught me to take 1t easier and study out the shots and many prob lems that present themselves through the fairways and on the greens.
 Another Good Lesson
 Another good lesson l learned early" Hagen went on, was at Gar den City in the F. G. A. war rellet tournament, in which l was beaten by Jerry Travers. one of the best amateurs that ever held golf club. I was 7 up on him at the ninth and Jerry seemed to be playing ragged golf. His tee shots were uncertain and he was struggling to keep up. I figured I had the match won, but Jerry suddenly came to life and beat me out.
 Tt is bad idea to figure a match won until it is over; the last put may be the deciding factor. I de- ! served defeat at the hands of both Hutchinson and Travers in the two instances l have told ot but I was able 10 profit by them both"
 It has been these qualities of

Yesterday that about 5000 prisoners

Justice McReynolds delivered the
opinion in a case from Minnesota in
Nolving the question of whether
lanes Daugherty. sentenced under
three counts of an indictment for
violating the narcotic law. should
serve his term consecutively or con
"urrently. Daugherty lost his fight
pr right to serve the sentences con-
currently. but in delivering the ruling.
the Justice served notice that the
court might find it necessary to re
verse former decision on the con
Stitutionality OF the law itself if the
issue was properly presented to it.
Lawyers delving into the POSSIBLE
Ties of the situation have discovered
the cruN of the decision. as it might
effect Federal prisoners, lies in that
section where Justic" McReynolds
noinied out that since the cOuStitu-
tion@lity OF the anti narcotic act was
sustained in the original test case by
sharply divided court that tribu-
nal had passed upon a number Of
other laws in which. as III the mar
Cotic act. the Federal Government
attempted Ia enforce regulatory
legislation through the exercise Of
It's taxing powers.
These cases included the child labor
law and the law involving the taxing
of certain grain exchange transar-
tons. In view of the decisions.
which were adverse To Federal regu-
latory legislation based on the tax
ing power, he declared that should

ing the conStitutionality of the anti

Justices remarks as an invitation for
