II the Valley Is 70 become a
papaya center. then II is necessary
for everyone 10 start planting seeds

this way develop the best types OF

Mr.. Heinz stated that for a few

The local experimental has OBJ
tanned seeds from Hawaii from a
Or. Nichols who visited here three
years ago. These papayas ire larger

Mr.. Heinz has developed three
types, an oblong. a round. and a
solo papaya. He is selecting the
papayas with pink meat. and is
developing these first. Later he will
develop papayas that bear close 70
the ground. He stated that these
were better than the others, as
they bear earlier. etc.
The solo papaya IS a decided i'm

male and female blossoms on the

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE
BY WALTER R. McCALLUM.

T HERE is one golfer who plays in
many of the tournaments about
Washington who is coming along
fast, and, even though his turn
to win may be year or so away, II
he progresses as much in the next year
as he has done In the last year or two
he cannot be kept from winning. And
he may turn out to be the finest Of the
lot Of local club Swingers who infeSt the
invitation events about the Capital.
M Parker Nolan is his name and he
plays at the Congressional Country
Club, where by reason OF his habit OF
knocking golf ball from here to there
with greater ease and greater distance
than most of his playmates, he has be-
come known as the "seige gun" Nolan
is far more than a long hitter. He Is a
long and straight hitter, and the diff
ference means something The old days
of knocking them far and hoping they
land in a good lie in the rough were
all right for the big boys, for they
usually have the physical equipment to
pound the ball out Of the rough as well
as from the fairway, but when a man
combines maximum distance with con-
siderable accuracy he is apt to become
quite a factor in any golf company. no
matter how strong,
Nolan has done some big things in
big way with the wooden clubs. In
the first place he is big chap, scaling
somewhere near 1875 pounds, sturdily
built and capable of playing long
stretches of golf without firing. To this
physical equipment he has added a fine
golf swing, gained under the able
tutelage of Sandy Armour, the Con-
gressional pro. Nolan is year or two
away from winning tournaments and it
is yet too early to say that he can ever
become a winning tournament player.
But from our observation, II he con-
tinues in the way he Is going and
tightents up little on his game $50
yards from the pin into the cup, he is
going to become a. formidable COM
petitor for any of the boys who play
in the golf affairs around the Capital
CIGNs Of future greatness in o golfer
- come slowly and at intervals. George
Voigt and Roland Mackenzie, the
two best golfers ever turned out in the
Capital, were heroes to their friends be-
fore their capabilities became known to
a wider circle. And Nolan Is becom-
ing quite a figure Of legend around Con-
gressionaI, from which he may be ex-
pected to become a figure better known
generally to golf about the Capital. Just
the other day he played the first nine
at Congressional in 80 strokes, breeding
over that hard nine with two eagles and
a birdie to beat par by 4 shots. He
reached the first green with a pair of
colossal wooden club shots and sank the
putt for an eagle and he reached the
eighth with a mighty drive and spade
mashie and again sank the putt for the
eagle.
Now the big fellow knows his own
weakness, and he has that happy dis
