Calumet Ace Races
astest Six Fur|ongs
Ever Run in Florida
By the Associoted Press

MIAMI. Fla, Mar. 25.-Calumet
Farms Theory sent his Kentucky
Derby stock soaring by ripping off
six furlongs in 1:09-fastest time
ever recorded at the distance in
Florida-in capturing the featured
$4,000 Suwannee Handicap at
Gulfstream Park today,
Theory's performance clipped
three fifths of a second off the
track record set three weeks ago
by Yankee Hill and was only three
fifths of a second off the world
standard set by Fair Truckle at
Golden Gate Fields.
The handsome son of Pensive,
1914 Kentucky Derby winner, led
home J. A. Kinard's Johns Joy
by two lengths. Beau Dandy,
coupled with Theory under the
Calumet banner, was third.
Completing the field were P. l..
Grissom's Almenow, S. I. Crews
Commodore Lea. Short Brook
Farms Bannerday and S. j.
Browns Tubby B.
Jockey OWE Scurlock handled
Theory with care. smacking him
with the whip only once at the
eighth pole to insure victory.
Theory took command soon after
the break and warded off the
stretch bid of Johns Joy with ease.
The others could not threaten the
top pair.
Strongly backed by the crowd,
estimated at 1880, Theory re-
turned $4.80. $3.50 and $3.50, while
Johns Joy paid SO in both the
place and show pools.
A spill marred the running of
the opening event when Around
Town. ridden by frankie Zehr,
stumbled and fell on the stretch
turn and caused Gay Reveler and
Jockey Harold Roberts to go down.
Both jockeys were taken to nearby
Hollywood hospital for X-rays.

l Stump Produces
Many Trees
By JERRY LESTER
R0Oing Reporter

@NEVER CUT a 6-foot (ground
tree) Christmas tree" is the motto
of John F. Robbie, Lincoln county
tree farmer and secretary of the
Western Montana Christmas Tree
Assn, Robbie is one of the many
Christmas tree farmers now prac-
ticing stump culture" and 'prun-
ing" for developing more shapely
trees faster.
Proof of the advantage of these
methods can be seen especially on
one 40-acre woodland tract at the
farm. When Mr.. Robbe's father
started cutting Christmas trees from
this tract back in 1926, the income
was about $500 for the annual cut
ting. Now, using stump culture and
pruning, the take from the annua,
crop of trees will average between
$1,000 and $1,000, depending on the
year.

Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-12-15
Harvest Every Year

Robbie cut 80 acres last year-goes
into the same tract again every year.
He says the woodland is developed
much quicker that way. The annual
working with cutting and trimming
makes room for new seedlings as
well as producing trees with better
foliage. He thinks this 80 acres will
average 1000 good Christmas trees
each year. Back in 1927, the pro-
duction was about 1000 trees. The
tract has been cut every year since
then but three.
He is very careful to save good
seed trees well spaced through the
forest. Some of these are 80 or 40
years old and little watching shows
him the ones to save. The wind does
the rest, scattering the seeds for
natural regrowth.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-12-15
Stump Culture

AS an example of the value of
stump culture, Robbie pointed to a
stump from which 12-foot tree had
been cut the fall of 1948 adding that
a Christmas tree had been cut from
this same stump in 1914 also. Robbie
says that from to 5 years is long
enough for stump left in good con-
dition on his place to produce an
other tree.
The best way to cut the tree, he
says, is to chop downward at As
degree angle from both sides, leaving
the notch centered at the heart of
the tree.
