Tree Worth Expense of
Saving Needs Thought

Tree lovers often have to face the
question Of deciding whether or not q
particular tree is worth the expense
Of treatment. Tree specialists Of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture say that most shade and orn-
amental trees with only few dead
limbs are unquestionably worth atten-
ton. Others that have many dead
limbs or decayed areas may not be
worth the expense involved, partic-
ularly If they are rapid-growing short
lived trees. In many cases the owner
will be better satisfied in the end
to replace a badly diseased or mutt
lated tree with a healthy perfect one.

Bordeaux Mixture Aids
Control of Potato Pests

Bordeaux mixture applied to control
potato foliage diseases also stimulates
growth and has a beneficial effect on
yields. That is indicated by observa-
lions made by DR.. H. ]. Giddings,
West Virginia college of agriculture.
Two fields under observation last sum-
mer provided additional evidence in
support of the theory. Both fields
were almost free of diseases. One
was sprayed regularly so the plants
were kept coated with bordeaux. That
field produced more than twice as
great a yield as the other one. The
disease damage on the unsprayed field
was very little.

Tomato Blossom Rot Is
Not Caused by Fungus

The condition known as blossom end
rot, or point rot Of tomatoes, is not
due to any kind of fungus or bacterial
parasite, but rather to excessive
evaporation from the foliage, reports
the Oregon experiment station. 1t is
especially troublesome where abun-
dant foliage development due to rich
soil and plenty of moisture is fol-
lowed by hot dry weather. This may
be avoided to some extent by moder-
ate watering early in the season and
providing for adequate moisture sup
ply right through the season.

Fertilize Soy Beans

Usually it is not considered profit.
able to use commercial fertilizer
directly on soy beans. Some farmers,
however, have believed they received
a profit from small quantity of acid
phosphate drilled in the rows with the
beans. About $50 pounds of acid phos-
plate to the acre might be used In
this way. When soy beans are grown
in rotation with corn and wheat the
fertilizer applied to the wheat will
have a good secondary effect on the
soy beans.

LITTLE CHANCE IN

Boston Federal Reserve Bank
 Issues Monthly Report

Boston May 1 (T1-Ljttlc change in New England business activity was reported yesterday in the month- lr report Of inc Federal Reserve bank Of Roslo0.
 During the first quarter of this year, says tho report, there was lNtlo change, other than seasonal, in tho aggregate rate of business actiyi- ty in New England, and the level at the end of March was only slightly higher than thc low point 10 which industry declined in December. In comparison with the corresponding period q year ago, business activity in this district during the first quar- tor was disappointing, tho average level during Inc period being ap- proNjmatcly r per cont below the record average level 3 year ago.
 fundamental credit and indus trial conditions, however. appear 10 have been soundcr at the first Of April this year than 2 year ago. On April 2, 19@o. inc reserve ratio Of inc Federal Reserve bank Of Boston Was S1.@ per cent compared with 70 per cent on April 2. 1922. Loans 10 member banks by tho Boston Re soryc bank were S79,49S,ooo year 20 (ApriI 2. and were St9,492,o00 this year (Aprfl gD.
 After a sharp decline during the latter part of 1@29. the rate Of gen. lral business activity m Nov. Eng land remained steady, even though at a level much lower than q year ago. Business sentiment has changed considerably moro than actual busi- ness activity. A. tho first of the year apparently too much vas cX- rCc''d. and in February optimism changed 10 an attitude Of extreme caution. Al inc end Of March a spirit of caution sjill prevailed. but tho customary spring expansion in many lines Of industry and trade added more cheerful aspect to the immediate future.

weight gutta-perchas, and saved wear and
swear on the clubs.
The size NOSE commonly used was about 10
inches in diameter with weight slightly above
that of hoater.
But golf ball making was not standardized,
and from 1915 to 1919 various makes of ball
were sold, constructed to as many as Is diff
ferent sets of specifications.
In 19l8-19l9 a small, heavy ball was intro
duced which many found hard to get of the
ground though it had phenomenal distance.
THEN. in May, 1921, the present ball land
most golfers have known no other was
adopted-the 162-inch, 1.62-ounce ball.
But as early as 1924 the Royal and Ancient
Golf Club of ST. Andrews and the United States
Golf Association were both experimenting in
the hope of developing q better ball.
1t was felt that there were certain character
istics of the ball which took away some of the
finest shots of the game, such as the long spoon
and long irons to heavily guarded green,
which none but the most expert golfers could
control Half-topped shots would run farther
than there was any justification for, in many
instances right through shallow bunkerS and
hazards.
Conferences were held between the United
States Golf Association committee and the
Royal and Ancient to decide what qualities a
ball should have. Makers were urged to submit
samples Of their ideas of what an ideal golf
ball should be. The largest ball tested was liza

inches in diameter and the lightest so ounces
in weight. A series of mechanical driving tests
were conducted at Pinehurst and Pine Valley
followed by inquiry among large groups Of
players, and the consensus of opinion was that
ball between 166 and 1.6S inches in diameter
was the most desirable.
Long and exhaustive mechanical tests fol-
lowed. using the 1.68-i.55 ball, and a number
of tournaments were played, in which 40 or so
players were entered and in which the scores
ran from the low 70S to us .,
During 1926, 1927 and 1928 much attention
was give the question of residence and ma
chine was built and designed for testing and
recording the residence of golf balls. Expert
ments were made both at the Carnegie Institute
OF Technology and the Bureau of Standards at
Washington.
The net result was adoption of the new ball
and the makers co-operated in order to make
1t available this Spring. They had to change
all their molds, but, generally speaking there
was no change in the construction, lighter cores
and material affecting the reduction in weight.
RUT the Royal and Ancient failed to come
along.
The Royal and Ancient had gagged at the
goose-neck putter and the deep-Slotted club
and only recently came around to the steel
shaft. Even now respectable British player
feels better playing wooden shafts.
So the Royal and Ancient bucked as did the

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-06

the game is really both royal and ancient, and
no testing.
In those days golf ball was an egg-shaped,
highly compressed body of feathers entirely
surrounded by horsehide. They were packed
pretty tight in a slow, cumbersome process,
and it was possible to get as much as 140 yards
with them off the tee. In those days, Of course,
sticks had longer heads, little like the curved
Shinney-sticks kids used to make in the days
before sports became big business.
IT was not until the latter part Of the nine
tenth century that the gutta-percha bail
came into use. Gutta -percha is the kind of
rubber obtained directly by boiling the latex or
sap Of rubber trees, and the gutta-percha golf
ball was simply q round mass Of this hard,
but resilient stuff
This solid ball was pretty good OF the tee,
but not so hot with the irons Having no
cover, it didn't take long to smear it all out
OF shape, and 1t was also pretty tough on the
clubs.
Then, along about 1900, "came the dawn" An
American named Coburn Haskell invented the
ball which bore his name, the first to bear a
direct resemblance to the present-day article.
Haskells ball had a solid gutta-percha center,
was wrapped with layer after layer of thin
India rubber strips or thread, and incased in a
cover Of hard gutta-percha. This ball really
revolutionized golf 1t was more resilient went
more lightly of the club than the solid, dead
