ball prestige to a high standard
this past fall, Coach Paully Byrne
will tomorrow muster his basket
ball candidates for their first
workout at the Vermont Avenue

the court sport.
Veteran dependableS around
whom the team will be centered
are Augusterfer, Gallagher, Cap

tried the line again. The ball
shot out of his arms and was
caught by Adams, Mohawk tackle.
Some say he caught the ball in

caught the ball behind his goal
line and was tackled on the spot
by McCabe; some say he started
to run with the ball and was
tossed backward across his own
goal line.
However, that's beside the
point. The Apaches so far out

"While it is advisable to pull up

possible to do that, 1t is recommended
that the farmer set aside a part of
his field from which he will take his
seed potatoes for the next crop and

would eliminate much loss in the sue

When pullets are left in the brooder

the pullets in the original brooder

Agricultural Notes


Alfalfa makes a well-balanced ration
for horses when fed with corn alone.
To feed cows we'll will help prevent
a milk shortage next fall; furthermore
it pays well.
Bluegrass probably is used more
frequently as hog pasture than any
other forage crop.
3 The lambs mother should have all
the legume hay she wants, because le-
gume hay makes milk.
Disking or otherwise cultivating
early plowed fields to keep down
weeds and volunteer wheat will aid
materially in controlling Hessian fly
and will increase the yield of wheat.
Carefully choose varieties of apple
trees to be planted next spring. Many
of the kinds once considered leaders
are now being displaced by higher
quality and better selling varieties.

Produce the best. Quality products
bring prices high enough above the
market quotation for ordinary prod
ucts to make it profitable and econoni-
cal to produce them. They also make
satisfied customers and bring repeat
