There has not been any charge
that the conceSsionaireS are do

there has been a serious charge
that the conceSsionaires have

To the golfers, the present

the public links golfers cannot
understand why it is that the

The golfers want to know why

mixed DOUBLES
DRAW FANS

Considerable interest Is being
displayed in the battle for the
mixed doubles tennis champion
ship of the city. AL the combi-
nations entered consisted in
pleading male and female per-
formers.
Today's big scuffle is particu-
Iarly attractive, as Frances Walk
er, city Of Washington, and Mus
coe Garnett are to oppose Frances
Krucoff, many times District
women's champion, and Fred
Doyle in the serni-finals round at
Columbia Country Club.
Ruth Martinez and Frances
Walker were disIOdged from q
two year control of the D. G.
women'S doubles title yeSter-
day by Frances FrucOff and
Clara Tabler after a lovely set
to, 4-6, "a, 6-1.
Miss Walker, convalescing from
a recent illness, wasn't at her
best, but Mrs. Martinez, bearing
the brunt of the battle, made
the two hard-walloping femmes
step around plenty before they
won.
The first set produced the
greater thrills. The winners out

AuUinst Dixie PiqS

Scoring four runs in the first
inning, the Saks nine defeated
the Dixie Pigs yesterday, 5-4,
thereby evening the series in their
play-off for the unlimited title
in the Capital City League. Twirl-
er Payne, Of the Clothiers, with
excellent support, was master Of
the situation at all times.
After Culbertson was knocked
out of the box in the first by a
double, a single, a base on balls,
and a homer, Jones took his place
on the mound and held the win
ners to three hits for the rest of
the game. The damage had been
done, however, and though the
Dixie Pigs tried hard, they could
do little with Payne's curves,
which held the losers down to
five hits for the entire nine
inning period.

because the club, being longer,
requires a little more time for
swing. You may safely assume
that you are more likely to
hurry your action than fall into
any other fault. BY the same
route, you may pretty safely
assume that whatever your
trouble may be with your driv-
ing, in all probability it arises
through your being too fast in
your action. Every time you
see a good golfer swinging
make a note of the easy, slow,
rhythmic pace Of his back-swing.
He always gives himself time

and were so accepted, as the
class of canvas canoe performers
on Father Potomack's broad
bosom.
The Potomac Boat Club, once
leading Sculling organization
on the Atlantic Coast, for the
last three or four years has been
making forays in the racing
canoe class, behind the stalwart
water-shoving Of the Millar boys.
Acads Shine
Ernie Millar contracted parrot
fever two years ago, and that
made a big difference in the
Potomac racing canoe crew.
In the meantime the Syca-
more Islanders had been watch

ROdman lads rapidly establish

canvas canoe experts.
Last year the Potomac boat
men shifted their interest to
the canvas canoes, and this year,
with the acquisition of young
George Shorb, and with James
Nutwell, James Burch and Charlie
Miller as good as ever, they
snatched the canvas canoe laurels
in the Fourth of July regatta
from their rival handily.
Yesterday they stepped out

At Rock Creek a man was sta.
toned on a hill overlooking the
second and third tees, telling the
players when to drive. Person
ally, he is a jovial and unusually
likable chap. At any rate, he
was directing players on the sec
ond tee to drive off before the
preceding players had even
reached their balls for their Sec
ond shots.
The starter at the home tees
on both Of the nine-hole divisions
of the 18-hole course was also di-
recting persons to drive before
preceding players could reach
their balls after their first drives.
This is a violation Of the rules
published on the back Of the
course score card. This score
card reminds the players, but ap-
parently does not remind the con-
cessionaire, that:
"The game ceases to be golf
when rules are broken at pleas
ure."
With only a few players pres
ent, as compared to the large
crowds Of sunny days, waits were
nevertheless necessary at most of
the tees. The course, laid out
as an 18-hole route, was still
split in half.
The question that seemed
most logical and uppermOSt in
the minds of the great ma
jOrity Of players was:
why a cOncesSiOnaire at all?

MINERALS IMPORTANT IN
FEEDING DAIRY FEEDING

Mineral feeding has come to be
looked upon as one of the essen
tials Of proper dairy nutrition. Ex-
perience has shown that cows have
the ability to assimilate much
more calcium and phosphorus
during the pasture season, and
therefore it is important that
where minerals are needed, they
be supplied during this time. High
producing cows make heavy
drain on minerals from their skel-
etons and will in time impair their
producing ability.
In the Yakima Valley where a
large amount Of alfalfa hay is fed
there is probably no shortage Of
calcium but there may be Of alfal-
ia hay is fed.
The first sign that cow is be-
coming short Of phosphorus is
seen in q desire to chew bones. At
a later stage the animals gnaws
wood, sometimes destroying man
gers and boxes from which she is
fed. When there has been q de-
ficiency Of phosphorus for q long
period, the animal becomes stiff

SAFEGUARD THE SHEEP
FROM THE MAGGOT FLY

Farm flock eve lambs and the
Rambouillet rams are often the
prey of the maggot, or blow fly
during the summer months unless
careful watch is kept on the con-
dition of the flock, says Hector
Mcdonald, extension animal hus-
bandman, Washington State Col
lege. Wounds and places fouled by
dung and urine are usually the
center of attack, while eve lambs
are especially subject to the fly
because the wool is longer than
that of the older sheep and usual
ly prone to become damp around
the dock. The oily gummy wool
around the base of the Rambouil-
let rams horns also attracts the
fly.
Larva laid by the maggot fly
matches out within a few hours
after the eggs are deposited by
the fly. The maggots grow very
rapidly and soon eat through the
skin. A sheep plainly shows that
it has maggots when it squirms
and twists in an effort to get it's
mouth to the irrigated spot. AS a
preventative measure, the damp
stained wool around the dock of
the eve lambs should be trimmed
away. Pine tar applied at the base
of the horns assists in protecting
the ram.
AS maggots may cause death
if allowed to remain on a sheep
very long, an infection should be
treated Immediately after it's dis
covery by applying strong sol
ution of sheep dip or a 80 percent
kerosene, soap and water emul-
sion. The dip mixed one part dip
to SO parts water is preferred to
other remedies because it is less
severe on the skin of the sheep.
After the maggots have been kill
ed, the injured place should be
treated with some soothing ONT
ment such as vasoline.
A frequent examination of the
flock for maggot infections will
amply repay sheepmen by prevent
ing loses in gains, and in sheep,
caused by the maggots.

mer in Whatcom county. There
was also nearly a row of Wiscon-
sin Pride which had been recon-
mended as a variety as early or
but little later than the Irish Cob
bier. The fertilizer for the main
field was 600 pounds Of 1-1O-1O
fertilizer per acre. The field was
dug last week and the following
facts secured:
The yield over the entire field
was 4.6 tons per acre. The yield
of two rows fortified with 1-1O-
10 next to Ammonium Phosphate
1920 was checked against six
rows of the ammonium phosphate
1920. All of these rows having
been grown from his own seed
stock. On the acre basis these two
rows of potatoes on the 1-10-10
produced Sc tons, while the aver
age of the six rows of his own
seed stock fortified with ammon-
ium phosphate 1920 was 7.3 per
acre. 1t probably would be more
nearly correct to compare the av-
erage yield of the entire field to
the six rows fortified with the
Ammonium phosphate 1920 than
to compare the two rows which
were selected. However, making
comparison on the rows selected
this would mean an increase of ap-
proximately II tons which at SIS
a ton would mean an increased
value of $1,000. This was secured
at an increased cost of $3.50 per
acre. lie the average yield of the
field is taken it would mean an
increased return of $48.60 at a
cost of $6.40 per acre.
The increasing yield must be
largely produced by the extra nj
trogen. A 6OO.pound application of
a 1-1O-10 would add but 6 pounds
of nitrogen to the acre, while the
500 pounds application af ammon-
ium phosphate 1920 would give
a nitrogen application of 80
pounds. There was plainly a diff
ference in the top growth between
the two fertilizers, although the
top growth where the ammonium
phosphate had been used was not
excessive. Increased yield was due
to a larger number of potatoes Of
marketable size in the hill with
slight increase in size. It was quite
evident that at digging time the
added fertilizer had not produced
a greater tendency to hollow
heart.
The station at Prosser has found
that nitrogen is the element which
benefits the potato yield more
than any other element about the
Prosser community and further up
the valley. 1t would seem that this
element at least is big factor in
in this section.
The certified seed fortified with
Ammonium phosphate produced at
the rate of 80 tons per acre. This
was a lot of seed sent as a test
lot from Whatcom county and it
showed up well in the field.
The fraction of a row of Wis
consin Pride yielded poorly, 1874
tons per acre. They were almost
in full bloom when dug, showing
that they are a little later than
the Irish Cobbler.

To correct this condition, DR.. C..
H. Eckles, dairy authority of the

take to the bonemeal better.
In regard to the feeding of salt,

to two ounces daily depending up

PREPARING FOR THE
CULLING SEASON

Just which of the birds which
have been carried in the pullet
laying flock during the past year
should be kept for laying pur-
poses for a second year? There
seems to be considerable question
in the minds of quite a few poul-
trymen as to just what should be
the program for this summer, es-
pecially in view of the fact that
prospects are for better egg price
by fall. These are questions which
will be answered by w. D. Blu
chanan, extension poultryman of
the State College, when he comes
to the county to hold culling dem
onstrations and training meetings.
Mr.. Buchanan will be in the
Prosser community at the G. I'll.
Blossom farm in the west end of
town during the forenoon and at
the Sam Weiggands place at Ken
Eewick during the afternoon. The
n o1ning meeting will probably ne
gin at $3.50 and the afternoon
meeting at 1:30. Remember the
date is Wednesday, July Is.
We believe that poultrymen are
just as thoughtful, if not little
more so, than any other group of
farmers when it comes to protect
ing the other man. Again we want
to call attention of every poultry
man reading this notice to take
specpal precaution to wear clean
clothing, including shoes, or that
If shoes have been worn about the
poultry yards are worn, that rub
bers be put on over them. There
are several diseases now somewhat
prevalent which may be spread
from flock to flock by not using
proper precautions and we want to
urge that every poultryman plan
ming to attend this demonstration
and training meeting be just as
careful about the carrying of any
disease to the flock at which this
meeting will be held as they would
other poultrymen to do in case the
demonstration was held at their
place.
