proved herself a heroine by brav-

1t may seem far-cry from writ
ing about thoroughbred hunters and
jumpers to doing piece about
Percheron draft horses There. how
ever, is a connection not so remote.

up hill and down dale at a pace
that keeps him well up with the
first flight.
So it seemed logical to attend the
Conference of Percheron Judges and
Breeders held for the past two days
at Frederick, Md. There were 40
speakers and judges who addressed
the largest convention of the aSso-
citation, gathered to tell us all about
Percherons and later at the Fred
erick County Fair Grounds show us
how to judge the big, roly-poly
beasts.
Brought From France.
We learned that the first Percherons
were brought to this country in
1889, imported from Perche, France,
small area about the size of
two American counties, where they
had been bred since the Middle
Ages. Since that first importation.
Percherons have become. bv a ratio
OF 4 TO l, the most popular draft
horses in America and Canada. al
though other types such as Bel
gians and Clydesdales have been
worked here just as long. More than
$4,000 purebred Percherons have
been registered in the United States.
There are many reasons for the
universal popularity of the Per-
cheron, so the speakers claimed.
They are hardy, good tempered and
willing workers. They have clean
legs, strong joints and excellent feet.
Most Percherons are medium sized
large enough to do any kind of farm
work. but not so large as TO be
clumsy.
We were startled TO learn that
the mule may be losing out in the
South, for We were told that the
Percheron is much in demand in
II of the southernmost States be-
cause he is the best hot weather
horse and can stand heat nearly as
well as mule.
A noted farmer breeder from the
South declared that there is a pres
ent need of from 1000. 900 to 5000 900
Percherons in the South at weights
of from 1900 10 1900 pounds: that
the Percheron is the ideal horse for
the small farmer. Not word was
said about tractors.
Tell En- and Show En-.
Unlike most conventions. one
didn't have to take the speakers
word for it, These judges and breed
ers of Percherons. backed up by pro-
fessors from Is agricultural colleges

BY JOHN LARDNER,
,pecial CORRESPONDENT of The Star.

NEW YORK, July % tNAN.AD.-
In the peaceful village of Brookfleld
Center, Conn, when your Correspon-
dent passed through there the other
day, the neighbors were worrying
about Squire Gene Sarazen and
whether he was going to leave the
good earth for a honkytonk golf
club.
The Squire is one of the best
farmers in green Fairfield County
Though he started late, with a ten
dency to cock his wrists and keep
the weight on the right foot when
ploWing, as though attempting to
scoop the earth to within 5 feet of
the pin. he soon became as knowing
an agriculturlst as any in the
nelghborhood.
Before somewhat to the
confusion of the neighbors-Squire
Sarazen was master of the secret
that nobody ever sells you a good
COW and other valuable farming
lore. Raising his own stock, he
prospered and forged ahead in the
dairy farm business. The neighbors
were satisfied that the Squire was
among them to stay.
They knew the Squire's golfng
entecedentS, and it didn't bother
them when he sailed forth from
the farm now and then to shoot
for the National Open or the P. G..
A. title. In fact when he came
within stroke of winning the Open
last June, for the third time, Brook
field Center took modest pride
IN his feat They reflected that it
was possible to mix niblicks and
churns. separators and No. 2 irons,
with success, for the little Squire
was doing it.

Therefore. I do not believe that

It will be child's play for the little
Squire to run that club in California
and manage his agriculture in Con-

This partnership with Mr.. Vines
may not be bad thing at all, In
spite of his frivolous and ignorant
attitude toward the soil. Vines is not
a bad fellow. He once was the great
est tennis player in the world, and
he quit tennis cold. at the height of
his fame. because of his pure and
disinterested love for chasing a little

A sentiment as lofty as this de-
serves to be rewarded. I believe
Vines will get his reward if he teams
