AS Ross Somerville, the defend
i ing national amateur champion,
fell in the dour wake of Johnny
Goodman, the open champion,
four survivors marched forward.
Through rain and lightning, through
rolling thunder and shattering crashes,
through blistering heat from an ever
changing Buckeye sky, Max Marston
of Philadelphia and George Dunlap of
New York, Jack Munger of Dallas and
Lawson Littlc of Stanford clawed their
way into the semi-final frame of Cne
of the most surprising Championships
ever known.
Over 20 years ago I followed Max
Marston, the tail Philadelphian, in his
earlier days. Ten years ago 1 saw
him beat Bobby jones and Jess Sweet
ser at Flcssmoor. Chicago, to win the
amateur championship Of the United
States.
From that point on he has
known little luck in champion
ship golf. For the last few years
he has had trouble even in quail
flying.
And yet. after one of the greatest
matches of the championship against
I Sidney Noyes of Yale-a match that
! carried its thrills to the thirty-eighth
green-the veteran steps out against
Jack Munger, the 18-year-old inter-
scholastic champion from Hill School.
Murger Wears Specs.
YOUNG Munger, staid and serious,
wearing glasses through the rain,
looking much older than he is,
hammered down Jack Westland, West
ern champion. 3 and l.
AS all this was taking place Lawson
Little. captain Of the Stanford golf
team. mighty hitter with the heart of
young lion finally broke down the
cool machinelike play of Sandy Scmer-
vile. Little won by and l from a
great golfer and a great competitor.
The only soft match of the quarter
eighth was George Dunlap's and 5
victory over Eddie Held a fellow New
Yorker
So in this semi final corering

For an extended spell, pars were not
worth 10 cents dozen. Starting back
they had six brides on four holes be-
tween them. This shows their blister
ing pace. They were hitting everything
for the cup.
Storm is Ignored.
THEN the rain fell in torrents, the
lightning flashed. the thunder bel
lowed and the battle moved on.
At the 25th hole Noyes. one up, hooked
his drive into road rut. A large pear
was lying within a few inches of the
ball. A road is hazard and nothing
can be touched in hazard. Noyes
tossed the pear aside and this act cost
him the hole. And this hole cost Noyes
the match. But rules are rules.
Noyes was 8 down and 3 to play.
From that smashing handicap he came
tearing along under black, lowering
skies that dripped a young deluge to
hole he laid Marston a stymie and
Max knocked his ball in.
NOyes made a sensational re-
covery and holed a 12-fOot putt
to halve the thirty-seventh. But
on the short rty-eighth. from
so feet away, he took three puts
to fall before the veteran who
beat Jones and Sweetser 10 years
ago.
Here is an interesting angle of this
championship. Max Marston's son
has room at Hill School next to young
Jack Munger of Dallas. the opponent
Marston faces today. He must meet
his sons pal, and that again is golf
as it happens to be, a game beyond all
analyZing.
Munger a Game Kid.
YOUNG Munger played fine golf to
beat Jack Westland At l8. he
was cooler than most veterans
have known Excuse old four eyes"
he said to Westland on one hole, as
he took his glasses off to wipe away
the rain. I'm sorry. but I can't help
it, A great kid who can play a lot
of golf.
Lawson Little, one of the longest
hitters here, the kid who beat Johnny
Goodman just after Goodman had
beaten Bobby Jones at Pebble Beach
Slashed his way over Ross Somerville
with bold. aggressive golf. On one hole
the Stanford captain had to face Is
foot putt with dead stymie. He used
a No II iron to cut his ball around
his opponents and he sank the shot.
That is pretty close to record. And
that is Lawson Little. No barricades
ever break his spirit.
He has a fine can,paigner to
meet in George Dunlap. one OF
the star golfers OF the field, one
OF the best competitors.
This semi final misses Goodman and
Somerville, but it still carries all the
elements of drama which has made
this championship one of the most
bizarre turns in sport that even the

Herd Association
Idea 40 Years Old
Danish Farmers Raised Milk Produc-
tion to 5000 Pounds by Testing

Dairymen in Ohio accepted lesson
from the dairymen of Denmark when
they organized dairy herd improve
ment associations, or COW testing as
sociations, as they are most commonly
called.
The forerunners of the modern Ohio
herd improvement associations We're
the Kontrol societies of Denmark, or
ganized 40 years ago, according to S.
NJ. Salisbury, professor of dairying at
Ohio State university.
The Kontrol society, like the 80
modern Ohio dairy herd improvement
associations, was formed to provide
for monthly visit of tester. The
tester weighed the milk produced by
each COW in the herd and sampled it
for butterfat testing. He also kept a
record of feed consumed and computed
production costs for each individual
COW in the herd.
From these records, kept year after
year, the dairymen of Denmark We're
able to Gull from their herds the poor
cows and find and keep the good ones
So effective were the associations in
Denmark, says Professor Salisbury
that the country raised the average
production per cow to 5000 pounds Of
milk and 300 pounds Of butterfat. Av-
erage production of Ohio herds is
about 5000 pounds.
Testing year in and year out with
an eye to the low producing individ.
uals and their elimination from all fu-
ture pedigrees," says Professor Sails
bury, "offers our only hope for contin.
ued breeding of useful dairy cattle"

Delayed Sowing
Hurts Oats Yield
Both Quantity and Quality Suffer
From Delay, Experiments Prove

not only does delay in sowing af-
feet the yield of oats, but the quality
as measured by U. S. grades is af-
fected. This fact is shown by expert
ments conducted by H. L. Borst, of the
department Of agronomy of the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Oats sowed in early April graded
No. 2; scwed in late April the grade
was no. 3, and the grade Of the oats
harvested from plots sowed May /
was No. 4.
Late sowing not only decreased the
yield but the penalty for delaying be-
came progressively greater each day
after the earliest possible sowing date.
Each day Of delay before the first Of
April reduced the yield about one-third
cf bushel an acre. Each day delayed
from April to April 10 cost about
one-half bushel an acre in the harvest.
Between April 10 and April 20 the loss
climbed to about bushel day, and
after April 20 the daily loss amounted
to over bushel and half an acre.
The experiments extended over a
period of five years and were conduct
ed by the Ohio State university farm
at Columbus.
