Steep Land Should go
to grass
On many farms there are
certain areas where the topo-
graphy varies from low level
land to moderately rolling and
even steep hillsides.
In a diversified farming pro-
gram where crops and live
stock are raised, land utiliza-
ton should be adapted to suit
each particular topographic
condition.
The best use of your land
will depend on what you grow
or raise; and how well suited
some specific crop isto the area
you plan to use. Land too
steep to be cultivated without
danger of serious erosion
should be retired to permanent
grass. In many instances, steep
hillsides that have been ex-
posed to continuous erosion
may no longer be able to sup
port shalloW-rooted vegeta-
ton unless the soil is treated
with fertilizers and other soil
!, building agents. Before this
turns out to be the case in your
situation, it would be wise to
clean the hillsides either by
housekeeping, chemical con-
troll, or by the more laborious
method of chopping and stump
ing. If you already have some
percentage of grass on the
hillsides and you plan to uti-
lie it, fence it in and run
livestock in sufficient number
only to keep a proper balance
between grass and livestock
do not over-stock or you will
lose the little feed you have.
If you do not plan to use the
area immediately fence it

anyway and allow the grass to
become natural cover. It will
be an asset to the overall good

Sorry Condition Of AL

LOS ANGELES, Oct S.-"Do you sup
pose can hitch ride in the press bus?"
the fellow at Chavez Ravine asked. He
was the first Yankee TO leave the club
house after the fourth and final game.
OF no use to the team anyway, Roger Maris
dressed quickly and was in hurry.
In the bus he was silent When Maris
broke his verbal fast he blurted out:
I'VE won the pennant too early"
Then he became Roger Maris again
:. =. silent, brooding.
1t was almost precisely the same COM
ment one of his bosses, General Manager
Roy Hamey, had uttered in Ralph Houks
office at the ball park earlier.
! Houk was the good and gracious loser.
While he was handling the post-game press
interview, Hamey sat grimly in q corner.
He looked like a man who had been hit
on the head with blackjack.
Yankee general managers aren't used
to losing. The owners aren't either If
they showed up at all, they didn't linger
long.
THAT'S THE TROUBLE with coast
ing to pennant," Hamey finally said.
eve won too early. We'd been in a slump
for three weeks and never came out Of It,"
We cite these instances by way Of
posing a question. If the Yankees can
slump home 1917 games ahead Of the
closest contender, and yet fail to win one
World Series game, what kind Of shape
is the American League in? The answer
ought to be fairly obvious.
It's no league at all. There are the
Yankees, and there are the other nine
clubs The losers were incapable Of keep
ing the Yankees sharp and fit In the series
the perennial champions were flat, dull and
lstless
The Yankees had the reputation for
never beating themselves, but they helped
to do it in this series They couldn't handle
the good Dodger pitching, and they made
defensive mistakes that left them vulner-
able.
LEAVE OUT THE PITCHING and the
Dodgers fall far short of greatness. Their
only other valid asset was speed They
fooled their own manager, Walt Aston,
who confessed after the carnage:
81 expected six or seven-game series
when this began. certainly wouldn't have
predicted any clean sweep"
In his valedictory speech Houk said
he was proud Of this club" He pointed
out that his team won the pennant after
surviving some 10 injuries.
