Surprise Public Links
Champion Assured
After Major Upsets

With the medalist, the only former
champion and the Districts Ma
tional Public Links star all first-day
casualties, the annual District Public
Links championship headed for a
chow down at East Potomac today
with a new and surprise champion
assured.
Master Sergt. Tom Burch of the
1,111th Special Air Missions Group,
who came within two strokes OF
being champion of the Air Force
golfers last month, was still around
and met James Grace, a playoff
qualifier, in the feature match.
The other semifinal was between
j. J. Kotvan, winner Of most of the
minor public links tournaments at
one time, and George Graham, who
has been knocking at the door of
this tournament for number Of.
years.
Most Of the first days excitement
was saved for the second round
yesterday when Burch drubbed
Medalist Joe Ramirez, 6 and 5;
Grace upset Pat Martino, who ad-
vanced to the fourth round of the
Nationals this year, 4 and 2, and the
steady Kotvan upset two-time
champion Earl Marcy on the last
hole, up.
Graham, who, like Grace, qualified
IN the playcff, won two matches by
comfortable margins and may be the
man to beat. The son of the late
Harry Graham, a public links man
ager for many years. George has
been playing some of his best golf
this season and it was a surprise
when he was forced into playoff
to gain tine title fight. He regained
his touch after his poor 81 in quail
flying.

Straws In the Wind
Difficulty being experienced in ]

Difficulty being experienced in keeping
potato prices at 80 percent OF parity Is
weakening the position of farm groups adj
vocating a continuance of high-level price
supports. There is growing acceptance OF
the belief that such high level support IS
impractical particularly for farm commodr
ties of a perishable nature.
Chances of enactment of a lOng-range
farm program at this session OF congress
would be greatly improved if major farm
organizations could agree on basic princi-
plies. Chief points of disagreement now are
on the proper level of price supports and
changes in the parity formula.
Population of the United States rose 8
percent from July 1, 1910, to July l, 1916.
But farm production went up "a percent
during the same period.
We talk much about soil erosion but an
ever more important kind of erosion is
touched upon by Christopher Morley in
these words: Surely not less serious is the
matter of mind erosion; the lust storms of
daily excitement and of continual triviality
can easily blow away the sensitive topsoil
of the spirit"
"The big commercial farm produces
crops; the small l~ive-at-home farm produces
men," says Elmer T. Peterson.

ord. The result is that millions of people
who used to buy comparatively little meat
now buy it in substantial quantities. They
compete with each other for the limited
supplies and of course the price goes up.
If livestock producers had assurance that
market prices would be maintained in
definitely at levels that would keep pace
with production costs and if they had as
surance that feed supplies would be ade-
quate they would continue to increase pro-
duction.. But they have been caught by
falling markets before. With the enormous
requirements for grain for foreign relief
and the uncertainty of feed production,
they cannot permit livestock numbers to
get out of line with available feed.
1t is going to take time to bring supply
and demand into more normal relation
ship. While the adjustment is working
itself out, there is little to be gained by
blaming either the producer or the con-
sumner.

During these same years many still fol-
lowed flocks of wild, and later domesti-
Gated, animals from grazing place to graz
ing place and there wasn't much progress
in the world anywhere-particularly not in
agriculture. Then only $50 years or so ago
there came into this world a period of sud-
den, swift and sharp rise of progress. Only
$50 years is the time included in what we
may now reasonably call the period of real
progress in mans history. And that $50
years about parallels the history of the
farm machinery industry"
When we consider the painfully slow
progress of human development and hui
man relationships in ages past, perhaps
we are being just a little impatient in ex-
pecting to reach a full understanding with
the Russians, for instance, in a few short
years. 1t is to be hoped that it will not take
ten thousand years, or ever $50 years, to
develop a successful United Nations or
ganization. But against he background OF
progress over the centuries we would have
to be optimistic indeed to expect human
differences to melt away in a few years
even in this 4O0-mile-an-hour age.
