use of lime is very definitely indicated
for successful growing of alfalfa in
that state.
Average yields of wheat and corn
in northeastern Kansas were given
at thirty bushels and from fifty to
eighty bushels per acre, respectively.
The tax on farm lands adjacent to
good roads are about the same as in
Montgomery County, around one dol
lar per acre.
Practically all roads run due north
and south or east and west.
1t has been a custom of the club to
give each member or guest an oppor-
tunity to ask questions pertaining to
country life and others are invited to
answer the questions from their own
experiences. This plan nearly always
brings out interesting discussions of
questions of wide range, barring re-
ligion and politics. Among the topics
discussed at Springfield" were:
proper ertilizers for asparagus;
treatment of plot to reestablish blue
grass after selling sod; proper care of
poultry manure to retain it's nitrogen
content and yet prevent its firing; eff
fects of weather on fruit blossoms;
conditions of the growing wheat crop;
fertilizing practices for the main corn
crop, etc.
The club passed a resolution I'M
animously urging the County Com
missioners to authorize Montgomery
County's participation in the State
and Federal campaign to combat the
advance into our county of the Jap
anese beetle menace.
Lacy Show will entertain the May

Frightening up at this season.
Paint, and paper and white
wash do not stay bright for
ever; they must be removed
every so often. Winter brings
trash and rubbish to yards
and alleys, no matter what
size town one resides in. But
nothing is to be gained by
using the weather as a sched-
ule for removing it. Spring
is officially here by the cal
endar. That means it's time
to do spring cleaning, and it
also means that those who
get at the job without fur
Their delay will be rewarded
by having more leisure time

THE HOBO'S RETURN

It won't be long now until
the hobo will answer the call
of his mate and rural resi-
dents will again lose heavily
in farm vegetables and poul-
try. The hobo army is greas-
ing up its dilapidated flivvers
preparatory to cumming
enough gasoline money to
''hit the road"-roaming all
over the countryside, living
off of somebody else. They
don't ride the freight trains
any more, to amount to any
thing. They find their trans
portation problems more cas-
lily solved if they can get
hold of an old rattle-trap
auto. Besides, with the auto,
they can steal what they
need and get into another
county in less time and with
smaller chance of detection.
There will be the usual num-

Wisconsin's new law to

1t will come as a surprise to
motorists to be told that in
stead of entering a protest

ure UP to their new RESPONSE
bilities to youth. This real
ization is coming to small
towns the same as it is to
the larger cities. Proof of
this is to be found in the
fast growing agencies to di-
rect boys play through such
organizations as the Boy
Scouts, through organized
sports, through better play
grounds. Smaller towns are
commencing to get these
things now, and it is inter-
esting to note that the great
est percentage of increase in
the Boy Scouts last year was
in the smaller towns and vii
lagos of the country. There
is a need now for more men
who will interest themselves
in directing the teen-age
boys energies in the right
direction. We know of no
more helpful thing to which
any local man could turn his
hand and as much of his time
as he can conveniently spare.

THE DANGEROUS AGE
The enormous increase il

The enormous increase in
crime among the teen-age
boys of this country, as
shown by statistics gathered
over the past few years has
revealed a situation that is as
great an indictment against
adults as it is against the
boys.
The teen-age boy is no
worse by nature than he was
%, so, or 100 years ago. He
is exactly the same bundle of
nerves, energy and animal
spirit, subject to the same
powerful and bewildering
urges. But he is living in a
different world than existed
a half-century ago. And a
large part of our adult popu-
lation has failed to realize
that this different environ
ment for youth calls for diff
ferent treatment of youth.
For one reason or another,
the home and the school have
in many ways failed to meas

Sammy Snead
 Shooting For New Money Mark
BY LESLIE AVERY

(United Press Staff Correspondent
 Miami, Fla, Dec. 15-UP)-Sam- my Snead, who talks southern drawl to a golf ball and it usually obeys, started play in the initial round of the Miami open cham pionship today already classed by many experts as the equal of Bobby Jones 10 years ago.
 Marked up, on the credit of his 1888 bank account was $19,039 and the betting men had made him an almost prohibitive favorite-at to Ito cop first money of $2500 in this tournament. If he does he will have set winning-purse mark which may stand for all times-and that without having won either of the three biggest events for which he is eligible, the U. s. Open, the P. G. A. and the British Open.
 Youngster
 This White Sulplur Springs slug ger, 25 and sophomore in the pro ranks, pleads with his ball like a colored boy talks to the dice, and it seems that no Self-respecting ball can refuse him. If he is short, it's "get feet baby, get feet" If the shot is little strong, you'll hear put on the brakes, hold it, hold it." He points like bird dog after every tee shot and if it begins to slice or hook toward the rough, he cries No. no, no-no:" in tone reminiscent of Maxine Sullivan's singing a 'Tisket A 'Tasket
 Snead will need close cooperation from his ball to win this tourna- ment with a 192-man field, embrac- ing the entire Ryder Cup team and every important tournament winner of the year except two. fighting for the top prize in the $10C00 purse They are to play IS holes today and tomorrow with the low 90 pros and the 10 low amateurs qualifying for Saturday and Sunday rounds.
 The Miami class.c, of which Snead is defending champion, is the last big event of the year.
 Revclta Hot?
 Because of his play in practice rounds, Johnny Revolta, second only to Snead in the list of 1888 money winners. was second choice at 7-1 Next came national open champion Ralph Gul6ahl and Harry Cooper at 8-1. Cooper, who led the money players with $1A,300 last ysar, is running third with $7,765 this year and needs victory here to oyertake Reyolta who has collected $8,55a since January 1.
 Observers predicted that a score of between PTS and par 280 would win. Snead blasted 13 strokes off regular figures to win last year. But during the practice yesterday a heavy rain softened the course and made it more difficult.
 Tournament play preceded by the recently begun "oldster-youngster' four ball matches, and the lads un- der 30 explained by Horton Smith scored 3-2 victory yesterday over Gene SaraZen's old men.

Farr Faces Fistic Oblivion In Loss
 To Nova Friday
BY HENRY SUPER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Dec. -5.-(UP) When young Lou Nova of Alameda, Cal, steps into Madison Square Garden ring tomorrow night to battle Welsh man Tommy Farr, one of the most interested observers will be some B. 900 miles away.
 He is Max Baer, former heavy weight champion who still hopes to become the first man ever to regain boXingiS most prized crown. Baer, now in California, licked Farr earlier this year and figured he was a cinch to make his next start against Champion Joe Louis.
 But Promoter Mike Jacobs, who controls the destin:es of most eavy- weights, decided today that Baer must fight once more before he gets another shot at Louis. Mike probably wants to make sure Baer'S excel lent showing against Farr the last time out was no f1uke.
 Ancil Hoffman, Baer'S manager, speaking from California, said there would be no point in meeting Farr again. He has no objection, however, to Maxie facing Nova.
 Didn't Max lick Farr once?' Hoffman sputtered over the long distance telephone. But you can bet all the tea in China that despite Hoffrlans objections, Baer will be stepping into ring before spring against tomorrcw's winner.
 Champ To "Scout"
 While Baer listens to the fight on the radio, Louis will be at the ringside what may turn out to be his next titular opponent
 Both fighters concluded heavy training yesterday and planned only light workouts today. Farr continued the favorite at odds ranging from or to 5. Tommy probably will scale 203 against POI for the Alameda adoniS."
 Farr, who hasn't won fight in this country in three starts against Louis, Baer and Jimmy Braddock looked better than ever in training sessions. He says he wants nothing better than to dispose of Nova and get another shot at Baer.
 "Baer couldn't lick me again in mcath of Sundays" Farr said He'd never fool me again with left the way he did. I was paying toe much attention to his right and he crossed me by mailing me with a left that caught me cold in the first round"
 About Nova, a 23-year-old battler who's had only 26 fights, Farr had this to say:
 BashfuI Thomas
 Mot meaning to take anything away from him, don't see how the young fellow is going to have much of a chance against me. He hasn't got a wallop like Baer, that can shake you up for round or two and he's going to be up against the best Tommy Farr in the matter of condition that's yet fought here"
 Farr is anxious about this fight because fourth straight defeat would virtually mean the end of his puglistic career in this country. and. as Tommy put it. there's no place like home-but there's no place like this country of yours to get the nice money"

right kind of material. Slow-mov- ing men and poor ball-handlers usually don't fit in well with the fast break. Speed is prime re- quisite, and the quick charge from defense to the race-horse style of- fense once the ball is recovered re- quires quick reflexes.
 If the attacking team is slow, na- turally it gives the defense a bet ter chance to get set, nullifying the effect of the fast break.
 It is then necessary for a team to develop another attack, whether it be built around screen or block plays, single or double pivot, or the free and open style which permits players to develop their own situa- tions.
 I'm in favor of more fast breaks
 Those rapid cuts and plunges to- ward the basket make the game more colorful and popular.

At this writing it sure looks like Brown will be the team to be pick ed for the Rose Bowl or (BollS Rolls) classic.
 Brown was hard pressed to win two games from Notre Dame, win ming the first by g pins and the second by 3 pins. Brown profited by the breaks which come their way, their biggest break was the absence of Martino on the Notre Dame team.

That should not be very hard. tTrucker) Scar pate came to life at last hitting 326 (Francis) Brunette bowls good scores once every round and that's when he beats Febo for the sodas, (Patrick) Latino was one of the reasons for his team winning three games. (Glamor) Rivero was the other reason.
 Yale with one man short did not look so good in loosing games. The team lacks spirit, they have four bowlers on their team and should go places. (if they can find some places to go to).
