1t is a great help where one can stand
on the tee and suppress the human de-
sire to hammer the ball into a three
cornered shape. The thought should be
along the lines of smoothneSs, comfort,
ease and power in reserve. Ease and
smoothness do not mean sparing the
stroke or softening the swing. They
mean firm, hard hitting that is under
some control.
You might outdrive Bobby Jones, but
you can never outdrive yourself. Re-
member that.
THE golfer who can't hold his head in
= place is afflicted with faulty men
tai attitude. He is thinking in terms OF
results, not In causes Of results. He IS
thinking about the spot the ball might
land, rather than the main job Of first
hitting the ball in the right way. He
may have his eye on the ball, but that
won't help If his mind is on ahead to a
pond or bunker to be carried, to traps
and rough that must be avoided. .
Keep your mind on the ball" is
better advice than Keep your eye on
the ball."
Concentration, as so many seem to
figure, doesn't mean trying to think Of
three or four different things as the
swing starts. Concentration, as Jim
Barnes explains 1t. means thinking OF
the right thing at the right time" Above
all it should bring mental picture OF
hitting the ball with the club head with
the hands In control-not furching for
ward with the body, which has no con-
tact with the club. The first duty OF
concentration is to think about hitting
the ball. Too many think of everything
else-of feet. knees, shoulders, hips and
head-and then forget the rather i'm
portant detail of using their hands to
swing the club head through the ball.
THE right mental attitude can at least
l. help toward greater relaxation.
Any time there Is a feeling Of tautness
or tension, the next thought should be
in the direction OF tightening the grip
and letting the body relax. Few ever
think about this side Of the game. They
merely work their way into more and
more tension, stiffness and faster swing

Sweet Clover to
Save Pastures
Heavy Early Grazing Is Re-
garded as Besetting Sin
in Wisconsin.

Shall we have race tracks for our
herds or pastures for profit producing
animals7
Too much Of Wisconsin's permanent
pasture land is DIS bare as a race track
In midsummer.
It provides feed for short period
in the spring but during the summer
period it fails to function. ''The rea-
son is that either the soil Is run down
or the grass is worn out" says L. F.
Graber of the wisconsin College Of
Agriculture, "and not infrequently
both conditions operate to cut down
the summer carrying capacity OF
blue grass"
Early Spring Grazing.
Mr.. Graber regards heavy early
spring grazing as the besetting sin i'm
the management of grass land. He
has found this practice wears out
grass roots and makes grass plants
weak and unproductive even when the
soil is fairly fertile.
In order to improve blue grass and
to increase its carrying capacity, in
vestigators at the Wisconsin Agricul-
tural experiment station seeded sweet
clover on top of an old blue grass soif
and for four years have had excellent
success growing sweet clover right on
blue grass. The plan seemingly works
where the grass is poor from over
grazing or from lack of nitrogen.
Apparently 1t works only where the
land has plenty of lime and phosphate
in it Without these, sweet clover the
agronomists feel, will fail just as it
often fails in cultivated fields.
In this treatment 1t requires heavy
seedlings of 80 pounds of seed an acre,
and requires the removal, by burning
or otherwise, of accumulation of old
blue grass.
Sweet Glover Yields.
The combined yields of sweet clover
and blue grass growing together, re-
ported by the station workers. have
been twice and three times that of
blue grass growing alone They find
that double benefit comes from this
plan. In its second year of growth the
sweet clover itself supplies excellent
grazing during the dry period of the
summer, and in the third year the
grass is often so strongly stimulated
by the nitrogen left by the sweet
clover crop the year before that the
clover could not reseed itself.
These benefits more than justify the
absence of grazing the year of seed
ing sweet clover. This is essential i'm
order to get the roots of the sweet
clover well established in the blue
grass sod the first year.

Bronze Grass Pasture

Bronze is a grass that is especially
well suited to pasture on low, heavy,
wet land in the northern regions. 1t
makes better pasture grass than it
does a hay crop, as it does not yield
particularly heavy as hay crop. 1t
is, however, being used more and more
each year through the small grain
growing sections of the northern part
of the United States and Canada, both
as a pasture crop and as hay CROP
It is quite palatable and is relished
by stock.

Agricultural Squibs

Reasonably early seeding for oats
is much better as rule than late
seeding.
We can't change the weather, but
we can make the buildings warmer
where the cattle, hogs and hens are
kept.
Package bees are used to increase
the population of existing apiaries or
to start new ones. Order now for de-
livery in late April.
Field observations point to the fact
that lime can be used to great advan--
tage. 1t should be borne in mind. how
erer, that lime is not fertilizer.
It Is good time to check up on
treated seed corn as compared to un--
treated seed corn.
The dairyman who has large pro-
portion of his acreage in legumes Is

Lath fencing, such as is used to-
keep snow off highways, can be used
effectively by farmers in protecting
yards, orchards and young windbreaks
that usually blow bare of snow.
To encourage early spring brood
rearing, 1t Is necessary to maintain q
temperature of about 90 degrees Fab
renheit in the entire brood chamber.
Protection from the cold and winds
can be supplied by packing cases and
windbreaks.

VESTS VICTORIES
HURTING GOTHAM
Business as Well as Foot Ball
Suffers Inroads Upon
Native Pride.

NEW YORK, September 81 CN.AN.
A. .-Another foot ball season Is get
ting under way, and again the New
York alumni of midland and Western
colleges and universities are planning
eagerly to celebrate victories over the
schools of the East. Class con1cious,
they are, these sons of what New York
calls Western colleges" meaning all
institutions of higher learning west OF
Pittsburgh.
A few years ago, when the sons OF
the East addressed them with conde-
scension, the "WesternerS" took 1t, and
a few pathetic spirits even felt grateful
for being recognized as college men at
all.
Different in This Day.
Today it's different. Repeated foot
ball triumphs have helped and so have
Western" triumphs in business and
the professions. Why. in certain firms
here one can actually find Harvard
alumni taking orders from the sons of
Minnesota State-the university that
has the Mississippi for its campus
river.
Evidence of this new pride and as
surance exists in the organization OF
the Western Universities Club, which
now has more than 1000 members,
representing 90 different Western in
situations, and has leased the West
Fifty-third street house built for the
home of the late Col. William Barbour,
capitalist and linen thread manufac-
turer.
Fireplace From Italy.
The mantel and fireplace before
which the "Westerners" will toast alma
mater came from an italian chateau.
They have a tWo-n1anual pipe organ
and brass plumbing, about the first In
this country. The walls are covered
with silk tapestry, and the bronze light
ing fixtures were all purchased abroad.
This IS only temporary. The club,
expecting 5000 members eventually. is
planning to build a home that will not
look inferior to the Swanky University
Club on Fifth avenue. which the
"Westerners" say is hopelessly East
ern."
