The will squawk, loudly and earnestly. They will tell you about Improved golf courses, "tai-lored-clubs and balls. They will quote statistics, and above all, they will reach back In memory's grab bag and tell you about Bobby Jones and his famous Grand Slam of 1930. "Who," they ask, "can match that performance today?" The correct answer is "no one." But that doesn't prove a thing. If anything, it indicates that golfers in general are better players that no one man is good enough to dominate the field as Jones did more than a decade ago. Just a few weeks ago the first four members of golf's hall of fame were chosen. They are to have their names Inscribed upon a bronze plaque to be presented for the first public view at the U. S. Open chain-pionshi- p. The first four members of the hall of fame are Francis Ouimet of Boston, Bobby Jones of Atlanta, Walter Hagen of Rochester and Gene Sarazcn of New York and Connecticut. The Moderns Have It Sarazen, the Connecti-cut squire, Is all for the modern golf-e- r over the old timers. And he speaks with authority, having stuck with the parade for 20 years. Last year he tied for the U. S. Open in Cleveland, 18 years after he had won it in Chicago. It is Sarazen's contention that he is playing better golf today than he did 20 years ago that he has to play better golf to keep pace with the modern field. He believes, for instance, that Bobby Jones and Wa-lter Hagen were the greatest golfers 1 GENE SARAZEN " of their time, but that the scores 1 which made them great from 10 to ' 20 years ago would never put them at the top in 1941. Sarazen says he is hitting the ball 20 or 25 yards farther today than he did when he was a mere lad of 21. How does he do it? First of all, he was forced to improve. It was ' essential that he lengthen his drives I and perfect his game. "I've im-- i proved my swing," he says, "and I've studied my timing. My foot ' and body action is better." Sara- - zen always played winning golf, but i in order to keep going with players . like Sammy Snead, Jimmy Dema- - ret, Ben Hogan, Lawson Little and a score of others, it was necessary for him to improve an already good game. That he did. Historical Battles One of golfdom's e greats, Sarazen has taken part in golf bat-tles that will live forever in the an-nals of the game. There was the time when he needed three birdies on the last five holes to tie Craig Wood, perennial hard luck star who nrohri thrnuoh this vear to win the , CliJl'l-- l Mi Masters. Sarazen accounted for all his birdies in one hole by sinking a spoon shot on the 500-yar- d fi-fteenth of the August National for a double eagle 2. The eood players were after pars 20 years ago. Now pars are as com- - mon as sunshine. The best players are after eagles on holes of 500 or 520 yards. After all, why shouldn't present-da- y golfers be better than the Just about every other in ex-isting sport has seen improvements records. Not many track records of 10 years ago are still standing. . Fifteen years from now Snead, Hogan, and the rest will be arguing around the locker the same point room-w- ith some whippersnapper who started high school in 1941.

There are, however, a few small fruits which are rather easily grown and which come into bearing in a short time after planting such for instance as blackberries, raspber-ries, strawberries and grapes. Plant-ings of these small fruits should be established as soon as possible after the vegetable garden has been planned and started. STRAWBERRIES It is wise to begin slowly with any fruit until one becomes familiar with its care. For the average family, 100 to 150 strawberry plants is enough for a beginning. Plants should be set in rows 3ft feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows. Great care should be taken in setting out the plants: They must not be set so low in the ground that the crown of the plant will be covered with soil in the event of a heavy rain, yet they must be set at sufficient depth to cover all of the roots none must be exposed above ground. Although strawberries are adapt-ed to practically every part of the country, and although they will grow on all types of soils except such as are very wet or very sour, never-theless they will give best results on moderately rich ground which is kept scrupulously free from grass or weeds. If desired, the strawberry bed may be cleaned out and carried over for a second year of bearing, but the best crop is always obtained the first season following the set-ting of the plants and after the sec-ond season the bed should be plowed up. Many growers follow the excel-lent practice of setting out a new plot each year, thus having always one new planting and one second year planting, all plots being plowed up after their second year of bear-ing. RASPBERRIES Raspberries are adapted, natural-ly, only to sections where the tem-perature does not ordinarily go low-er than 15 degrees below zero. How-ever, in very cold states, such as North Dakota and Minnesota, the fruit is successfully grown by lay-ing the canes down in the fall and covering them with earth, uncov-ering them in the spring. In the average home garden, 100 plants will meet the requirements of home use. The grower may choose between black, red and purple va-rieties. Raspberries should have a rich soil, containing plenty of hu-mus, and well-draine- When the garden is made ready for planting, it is advisable to open a trench and work manure and bone meal or mixed fertilizer into the soil. Rasp-berries must have plenty of space; the plants should be set three feet apart, in rows from four to five feet apart. During the fruiting season the canes should be supported by stakes or wires. Mulching the plants with coarse manure is advocated as a method of holding soil moisture and keeping the weeds in check. BLACKBERRIES Although wild blackberries will, if transplanted, give good results, it Is advisable to plant from 40 to 50 hills of cultivated stock. For best results, a deep, rich soil is required and it must contain plenty of organic matter to hold the moisture. Like raspberries, blackberries are Im-proved by mulching to conserve moisture. The plants should be set out in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. If the soil lacks humus, manure or decaying vegetable mat-ter should be worked into it. Black-berries should be set in rows six to eight feet apart, the plants three to four feet apart in the rows. Black-berries require yearly thinning; if all the suckers are allowed to grow they will produce a dense thicket of canes. As with raspberries, some form of support is required. GRAPES One row of vines eight or ten vines planted 12 feet apart will sup-ply the average family. One-yea- r plants are generally used for plant-ing. They must be supported on trellises or arbors and should have a reasonably rich, well-draine- d soil, At the beginning the soil should be enriched with fertilizer, and later the ground should receive top dressings of fertilizers and mulches of straw and other coarse materials.

PROTECTING POULTRY' Since the hawks and owls, in most cases, are valuable to the farmer in the destruction of insects and ro-dents, it is not desirable to slaugh-ter them. For the protection of breeding flocks, therefore, the best plan is to keep sitting hens housed, and, when the brood is hatched, to keep both hen and chickens in a movable pen with attached wire--' enclosed range. The coop should be entirely enclosed and so con-structed that the hen and brood can be safely shut up at night. jPBS CIRCLE JMv ff 6695 ' Jil m PVERY line and detail of this - charming basic is flattering to slim figures the sweetheart neck-line, the soft bodice drapery, the tiny corselet waistline and grace-ful skirt fullness.
