n. D. Honey OUTPUT
REDUCED BY Rains,
. BELIEF OF EXPERT
Excessive Precipitation Re.
stricted Bees to Hives, Oi-
Iuted and Retarded Nectar

!. The lower honey yield Of 1928, es-
pecially in the eastern part Of North
Dakota. was due largely to the ex-
cessively heavy rainfall occurring
through July and August. concludes
Prof. ]. A. Munro, entomologist at the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
after he had recorded the daily gains
fper hive and the weather conditions
for 1927 and 1928.
\ Records that were kept by Mr..
Munro show that q total rainfall Of
1859 inches fell IN the Fargo vicin-
ity during July and August Of 1929.
This was more than four times the
rainfall during the same period 1927.
] The net gain OF the hives Of bees on
scales for the two months In 1928 was
1925 pounds. In 1927 the hives Of
bees made net gain Of $50 pounds
for July and August.
It is probable that the rains acted
in three-fold capacity to prevent
the bees from gathering nectar.
While it was actually raining the
bees were confined to their hives.
The heavy rains probably diluted the
nectar in the flowers so that it could
not be gathered after the rain. A
third cause for lower yields during
the season of heavy rainfall was
probably due to the excessive rain re-
tarding the flow Of Eectar in the
flowers.
The records show that tho amount
of sunshine for the two summers did
not vary in proportion to the amount
of honey produced. For the july
August period Of 1927 there was q
total of 1899 hours Of sunshine, as
compared with $50 hours Of sunshine
for the same period in 1928.

NO MAN 0 WAR GET
HAS TAKEN DERBY
His Son, Clyde Van Dusen, Is
Certain to Be Closely
Watched Saturday.
BY WALTER TRUMBULL.

n K AN O. WAR not only was
NH king of the turf, but he also
NV has founded a great dynasty.
Wherever game and beautiful
thoroughbreds run in the
United States his sons and daughters
may be seen and they always are due
to attract more than passing attention.
Through their veins courses the blood
of the mighty. Speed and courage is
their heritage.
This being true, it seems strange that
neither Man o. War nor any of his line
ever figured strongly in the running OF
the Kentucky Derby. Man o War never
ran at Churchill Downs. When he won
the Preakness in 1920, he was not sent
to Louisville, because it was preferred
to save him for the Belmont Stakes,
which he also won.
The Kentucky Derby has grown to be
a national event. It attracts more at
tention from the general public than
any other race, yet horse owners and
trainers sometimes prefer the Belmont,
partly because it is a richer stake and
partly because, being run at mile and
q half, they consider that it more nearly
approximates the English Derby. Walter
j. Salmon's speedy DR.. Freeland. the
Preakness winner, is being saved for the
Belmont this season. Crusader, consid-
cred by many as Man O. Wars greatest
offspring, and now retired, was saved
to win the Belmont in 1926.
The best known of the strong sons OF
Man o. War to start in the Derby was
Scapa Flow, thought by some to be even
a better horse that Crusader. Scapa
Flow, later to drop dead on race track,
went lame and was badly beaten.
It, therefore, is sure that, In this
fifty-fifth running of the Louisville
classic, on Saturday, a Man o. War de-
scendant. appearing to have chance,
will be closely watched. This Is Clyde
Van Dusen, owned by H. P. Gardner.
Van Dusen is second choice in the Win
ter books and undoubtedly will gain
following at the track.
Just why son of Man O. War, owned
by a man from Amsterdam, N. r.,
should be rated as a. Western horse Is
a bit confusing to those who do not
know that horses are generally consid-
cred as of the district, where they have
done most of their racing.

SPANISH GIRL SEEN
AS A REAL MENACE
American Star Will Have to
Be at Top of Game to
Win at Wimbledon.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

N YEW YORK, May 16.-Through
NJ through easy matches against
4 inferior opposition, Helen
Wills is working her way
toward an encounter whose elements
of grim contest will be out of keeping
with the grace and charm of the
principals involved. The reference is
to that agile and accomplished Span
ish girl, Senorita de Alvarez, who for
two years has been a closer rival OF
the American girl than most Amer
leans realize.
And it is the firm belief of those
who follow European tennis closely
that when the two girls meet at
Wimbledon next month-as they al
most surely will-Miss Wills will have
to be right on top Of her game to beat
her.
Indeed prospects of the meeting be-
tween the American and the Spaniard
have already begun to arouse some such
interest abroad as the famous meet
ing at Cannes several years ago be-
tween Miss Wills and Suzanne Leng-
len.
Two years ago in the final of the
women's championship at Wimbledon,
Helen Wills and the Spanish girl had
a battle in which the score, 60, Ga,
in favor of the Californian, did not IN
any way reflect the bitterness OF the
encounter. At the time 1t was the
opinion of qualified observers that
both girls had passed the peak Of Mile.
Lenglen's best game. This was say
ing a great deal; nonetheless it was
said with emphasis.
Last year the rivals again met at
Wimbledon, and while the fair Helen
won the first set, GO, and the second,
6-3, an analysis of that match shows
that the winner had to fight for every
game and that the senorita throughout
kept her opponent on the defense.
Every shot of hers called for the most
skilled play and the counter stroke had
to be made not only with precision, but
with sufficient force to counterfeit the
menace which Alvarez had been build
ing up.
1t is said that no player other than
Miss Wills could have withstood that
attack. She had difficulty in winning
even the games in which she served,
powerful as her serve is, and, by the
way, the Spanish players serve has
pretty nearly the same ferocity
In the second set the senortta'S
furious play won her three games, and
then, she cracked and Helen ran out the
is an open question whether the col
lapse of De Alvarez's energy was not
due to cold, which had forced her
to request a days delay in playing the
final match so that she might burn it
out. There can be no question that in
that final set Miss Wills had a distinct
advantage In condition.
So, all in all, there is likely to be an
Amazonian spectacle at Wimbledon
when and if the two girls come to-
gether, and England already is setting
herself In expectancy. And why not?
Tennis aside, this prospective meeting,
in its human aspects, holds much of
thrill. Nordic against Latin. The Cali

Most people play golf like nervous
people catch trains-they get there
too early. Pressing results. Were
you to follow Bobby Jones during
many rounds you would soon learn
that he never hurrieS or presses his
shots.
Pressing is not hitting too hard.
It's hitting too soon. There's vast
difference. Star golfers smack a tee
shot with all they have. Every ounce
goes into the blow. But they do not
press. Every ounce Of power may
be applied through proper timing.
Take Harry Cooper. He holds back
his power during the downswing by
keeping his wrists cooked until his
hands are about in front of his
right leg. Then he puts on at he
has.
Pressing is another matter. 1t con-
Germs itself with hitting too soon.

both get ahead of the clubhead and
