Successful Management

Dairy farmers, being manufacturers
of essential food and other products,
are interested in the same fundamental
problems of production and distribu-
ton as are other manufacturers. The
most successful dairy farmers strive to
keep the cost of suitable raw mate
rails (feed crops) as low as possible.
Being co-partners with nature in the
manufacture of large part of these
raw materials, they recognize the i'm
portance of their own responsibility
in producing large yields per acre of
crops grown for feeding purposes.
Successful dairymen study the ap
plication Of man, horse, and machine,
labor in order that they may get their
work done efficiently. To safeguard
capital investments is important in
industry and this is true also in agri-
culture. The farmer wro permits the
dissipation of his capital investments
soon is without a business.

sat that great oracle. Cumaean Sibyl,

scientific excavations been made

been disclosed. There is Colosseum

FIVE ELEVENS
UNDEFEATED
IN LOOP
BY SID KATZNELL

After three weeks of torrid
battles in the Independent foot
ball leagues, five elevens remain
undefeated.
The Marions top the unlimited
division with three wins and no
losses. Terry's Service Station
and Brookland Boys Club are
tied for the lead in the $50
pound section with three vic
tories and no setbacks.
N. E. Boys Club gridders are
deadlocked with the ApacheS in
the 135-pound class with three
on the right side of the ledger
and none on the wrong side.
Marions Played Well
The Marions, in gaining the
top rung in the unlimited sec.
ton, had to play heads-up foot,
ball. Such capable outfits as the
Maryland A. c., Seamen Gun,
ners and Mercury were downed.
Brookland Boys Club gridderS
who for years were runners-up in
their section, have finally hit their
stride and may win the champion
ship if they can dispose of the
Terry's Service Station, formerly
Palace A. c., last years cham
pions. The Brookland footballers
are about the best coached outfit
in their class.
Boys Club Good
The Northeast Boys Club, play
ing it's first year in league compe-
tition, has shown remarkable
power, and the Apaches will have
to step lively in order to defeat
those boys. The Boys Club prob
ably is the only team in the league
that drills daily. It's motto is that
practice makes perfect, and the

it's almost true.
