played it out Sunday and the local
boys held the long end of the score.
Is to Z. Sturgeon started strong, Bob
by Olson hitting the first ball pitched
for two bases; the next batter hit the
first one for a single and then Ernie
Nelson doubled again on the first ball
thrown. 1t gave Sturgeon two scores
and looked like a walk-away. In the
third inning the locals scored five
runs and were batting Lee Anderson
freely. He was taken out in the 4th,
and Bobby Olson relieved. He lasted
two innings and was pulled in favor
of Phil Anderson. The local boys
made 20 safe hits and only three
errors. Williams pitched masterful
game after the third inning; he struck
out seven men and kept those heavy
hitters from fattening their batting
averages. Next Sunday it's at Brook
Park. Let's go.
Ray Hogan was home Sunday ex-
hibiting a broken ankle received in an
auto accident; he will be laid up a
couple of months.

Even though we have had some good
rains We are still sure to be very
short of hay and we advocate plant
ing an acre of sudan grass or an ad-
ditional acre or two of corn for early
fall fodder. Tender fodder corn will
feed for quite a while into the winter
and two acres would normally pro-
duce Is tons. Let's do everything to
keep our good cattle. 1t is very prob
able there will be no free feed or hay
in the drouth area.
We notice a great number OF pOta-
to beetles on the potatoes this year.
Better look yours over. If you have
them, spray with arsenate of lead.
You can also add Bordeaux mix
ture adding (instead of arsenate
of lead) nicotine solution, which is
better but arsenate of lead will do
the work and is cheaper. When
beetles are prevalent in the early
Stages of potatoes it is especially i'm
portant to spray with Bordeaux mix
ture to prevent early blight.
