BRITISH ARE OPPOSED
TO LARGER GOLF CUPS
Veterans Peeved at Suggestion of
STANDARDIZATION Seen as
More Sensible.

BY the Associated Press.
T ONDON, January 24-Great Britain's S
II elder statesmen of golf have ex-
pressed indignation over Gene
Sarazen's advocacy of a larger golf hole.
'Tommyrot. The very idea makes
me angry" said Harry Vardon, six
times the British open champion.
'Farcial You couldn't miss an g.
inch hole unless you were blind"
chined in old Sandy Herd. who's made
10 holes-in-l.
If there's to be change. make the
hole smaller, not larger" said j. H.
Taylor, but I think it's just right
now to produce players best skill"
The same sentiment in different
words was voiced also by James Braid.
63 years old and playing golf most Of
them.
TT would be almost impossible to
keep the 8-inch hole in condition, :"
Braid said. THE larger walls would
crumble, causing endless trouble to the
greenkeeper If anything, the hole
should be smaller"
Charles Whitcomble. the Ryder Cup
captain in 1881, joining the oldsters
in their criticism, said: "Sarazen's sug-
gestion is absurd. The golf hole Is Just
right now. Don't tinker with It,"
Sarazen, the American and British
open titleholder, i'll in bed and with
nothing else to do, recently suggested
that the present cup size of "A inches
be increased to inches to add interest
to the game.

shot, too, for Gruver and Dickey always
have a lot Of side bets such as brides,
par contracts and what have you? Any
how, Gruver came in all smiles and
told Clarence Jones, head locker-boy at
Washington, to record Gruver victory
in the book which he keeps on the
contests between this pair.
WIZARD B. MCCARTHY and W. r.
w McCallum put on a hot show be-
tween them at Washington, too,
bagging four birds in three holes start
ing at the ninth and finishing at the
eleventh. First McCallum rolled In
25-footer for a deuce at the ninth, then
Mccarthy holed a sloping 1o-footer for
a at the tenth, and both followed with
birdie deuces at the short eleventh. At
this hole McCarthey's tee shot struck 2
feet past the pin, took a hop forward
and then, with the backspin taking ef-
feet, the ball rolled backwards, shaving
the edge OF the cup and lying only
feet below. That would have been quite
a hole in one had the ball gone in. for
1t actually went feet past the cup and
ended 2 feet short. DR.. T. j. Rice hit
one on the same hole that did the same
thing. His ball actually hit the cup
as the backspin made the ball bite into
the green and pulled the ball backward
II hole in one ever is made by one OF
those l3 or, IA men who are in the
bly, be made on the eleventh. For that
hole is one of the easiest of the short
holes around the Capital these days.

home course to a smooth 70 yes

to nose out George Diffenbaugh Of In
dian Spring by two strokes. Walter w.
Cunningham Of Burning Tree scored q
78. Two Indian Spring Amateurs.
William Harvey, jr, and Sam Rice,

Fred Mcleod. Columbia pro, came
within an inch a couple of days ago of
accomplishing stunt that never has
been done-that Of making an eagle 2
on the eleventh hole at Columbia.
Freddie's brassie second brushed by the
lip of the cup and came to rest only .

* golf courses these Midwinter
days. Ask Peyton w. Calfee Of
the Washington Golf and
Country Club and Walter w. CRed)
Cunningham, professional at Burning
Tree. Both these golfing gents, who
have played frequently together. have
gotten consecutive brides during the
last few days and thereby have broken
the hearts Of their competitors.
Calfee, who is one of the few ever to
ha re played nine holes in 80 strokes
(Which he did on the last nine at Wash
ingtOn two years ago., Is a putter OF
parts. He has the habit of knocking
the ball in the hole from any and every
angle, as Ralph S. Fowler and r. T.
Harrell found out, when Calfee knocked
in 25-footer on the sixteenth for a
birdie and then curved in 22-footer
for his second straight birdie on the
sixteenth at Washington.
DUT Cunningham's brace Of brides
- were even more unusual. They
came on the fifth and sixth at
Kenwood, in a match against Al
Houghton. the Kenwood pro. The
jovial red-head from Burning Tree
proceeded to crash out a burning tee
shot on the fifth at Kenwood for ell
of ITS yards, half-missed his second
shot down the hill to about 130 yards
of the green and then holed niblick
pitch for birdie on this tough hole,
one of the hardest at Kenwood.
Normally the hole plays as par 5, but
it is classed at in tournaments at
Kenwood.- Then Cunningham knocked
his bsll onto the green at the 210-yard
sixth and rolled the putt in for deuce,
accomplishing a brace of brides in a
row.
Over at Washington Dorie c. Gruver,
hotly engaged in one of those SOUL
soaring contests he has been having
with v. Calvert Dickey, burned up
Dickey on the eighteenth hole by can
ming a 125-yard niblick pitch for

FLAX RAISING OFFERS FINE
PROSPECT TO VALLEY LANDS

per cent higher in oil content than
that of northern states.
To give an idea of the amount
of flaxseed needed on the markets
Weeth stated that a bushel of flax
produces 218 gallons of oil. or one
acre produces rs gallons of oil.
One paint company alone uses 600
tank cars, of 10000 gallon capacity
each.
Because of the interest in flax
in rural communities Lee Lander
man, of the farm advisors office,
plans to arrange for a county
wide flax meeting in the near fu-
ture at which time those interested
will visit the experiment farm and
and other acreages where good
seed is available, as well as acre
ages where flax is not a success,
and Weeth will tell why these poor
acreages do not produce. There is
enough Imperial Valley seed avail
able for 10000 acres, 1900 of which
is already contracted for. 1t is
necessary, the speaker stated, that
the Punjab seed grown in this
community be used in order to in
sure crops free from flax wilt, SO
prevalent in the north, and to pro-
duce a large crop.
Imperial Valley press., 1933-03-23

Flax raising seems to offer more
to the farmer OF Imperial Valley
than any crop experimental with
at the Meloland experiment sta
ton, according to w. w. Weeth,
manager of the state experiment
station, who spoke at the FL Centro
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
yesterday noon. Approximately 40
per cent of the flax used in the
United States is imported, making
16, 100000 bushels brought into this
country every year, and Imperial
Valley is the only place in the
country where large acreage can be
devoted to raising flax, he said.
The fact that the import duty
on flax is IS cents per bushel would
tend to permit its production in
the United States at price to
compete with that grown in other
countries where cost of production
is lower. Weeth's experiments in
dicate that 25 or 80 bushels of flax
can be grown to the acre here and,
at the present time, with flax SELL
ing for SIPS per bushel, it will net
the grower, after cost of produc-
ton is deducted, $12 per bushel.
This is compared to wheat, which
nets but $3.50 per acre, and barley,
which puts the grower in the red. :
The average price per bushel for
| flax, over a period of years before
the present drop in all farm prices
was 50 per bushel, which would net
the Imperial Valley farmer around
| $40 per acre.
The northern states, according
to Weeth, produce from 5.5 bushels
to the acre to II bushels. Impe-
i rial Valley can easily produce from
25 to 80 bushels to the acre and
/ on the experiment farm last year
442I bushels were produced, with
/ so promised for this year to each
acre In addition, flax is planted
here in october and November and
is ready for market in May, where
as, in the northern states it comes
on the market in the fall and is
at its highest price in the spring
when Imperial Valley flax would
come on the market.
Land must be clean of weeds to
grow flax, according to Weeth and
soil must be medium or heavy. Any
land which will grow wheat or bar
ley will grow flax. Old alfalfa land
which has gone to bermuda is good
for flax as bermuda is dormant in
the flax growing months and will
not choke the crop. 1t can be
grown three years in a row and
therefore is good for rotating.
Flaxseed is used for linseed oil
and. after the oil is extracted, the
seed itself is used for cakes for
cattle feed 1t is stated by the
president of a coast oil company
that Imperial Valley flax is foul
