Ayulo's death at the brick and asphalt track's southwest pointsinister “killer cprner"-raised the 39-year total to K. Vukovich, who hails from Fresno, Calif., and Johnny Parson of Van Nuys, Calif., are the only former champions in the field.

Range For Pullets Good grass or legume range crops will greatly reduce the mash consumption of growing pullets. Feed represents the largest single cost of putting a layer on the nest, and a 10 to 15 percent savings in feed by ranging the pullets . . . reduces costs by 15 to 20 cents. MOst farmers have no trouble finding pasture , land which has not been ranged by poultry for at least a year. Here are the kinds of range that have proven very satisL, factory: 1. Ladino clover, which is especially desirable because it is low growing and remains green and tender most of the summer2. Other legumes . . . are also good if grazed while in the tender growth stage. These are often mixed with ? - grasses for heavier pasture coverage. 3. Small grains and grasses —provide good early pasture. Use the legume, grass, or small grain most suitable for local soil and climate conditions. Occasional mowing encourages new, green growth. If plants have become too tall before mowing, rake off* clippings to expose green growth. Pullets should be moved to range at 6 to 8 weeks (weather permitting) and shelter should be provided. Moving feeders and waterers weekly will reduce disease problems and spread the droppings for fertilizer. Worm birds at ten to twelve weeks and then again just before housing This leaves the worms and their eggs on the range. Local Farmer’s In Fea- - ture Os Prairie Farmer Mr. Alfred Busick and Mr. Ben Gerke are written up in the May 21 edition of the Prairie Fanner with Busick having a picture of his natural air hay-drying unit includ- , ed. These men have been using this type of hay drying for a number of years and are very well satisfied with the high-quality roughage which they are able to get with this method of barn drying. It would pay any farmer interested in equipment of this na-' ture to get in contact with either of these pen. - . ■ ... ; i Worm Pigs At Weaning Round worms slow growth, rob pigs of food.

1954. , McGrath, who was in contention last year until the closing laps when he was forced out because of mechanical difficulties, set a new qualification record when he sped around the 10 mile trial rout at an average of 142.580 mph. Vukovich's time was 141.044. McGrath whose home is in Inglewood, Cdlif. ,is third from the pole in the first row and Vukovich will start in the middle of the second 1 row next Monday. Sunday's final tests when 13 cars were qualified were enlivened by 1 a dispute between Ed Sltehlan of ' Oakland, Calif., and AimteTicjan Automobile Association officials. Elishlan accomplished the rare feat of winning the argument, involving the position of his car at the starting post when official time ran out and qualified 45 minutes later. The drivers who qualified set a new average speed record of 138.796 mph, breaking last year’s . mark of 138.632. — -— Cambridge — Harvard, founded in 1636, was the first university , in the United States.

HEALTH hint Now’s the time to begin your fight against JwF- flies on your \ farm. Every fly killed now represents millions of flies later in the year. To help keep production high this year start now on a sound Fly Control Program to keep stock comfortable, happy and free from flies. We have powerful Purina Sprays • For Barns • For Milk Cows „ • For Stock Cattle • For Poultry Houses • For Homes Including the wonderful new "Dry” killer you sprim kle on the floor.

Better Cleaning Job On Soybeans Farmers will do wfellto keep - in mind the changed which have been made in the grading of soybeans, in order to escape market penalties due to recently announced changes in the U. S. Soybean grading standards. Grading will be closer on foreign material and soybeans with substantial tmoijnjp of weeds seeds and •unk Will be subject to discount. Permissible foreign material content from 3 percent down to 2 percent is No. 2 grade. Here are two steps to take In produce a better quality :oybean crop for market this ear: 1. Better weed control 'on't raise the weeds as you •an't sell them to advantage rith the soybean crop this •ear. 2. Do a more careful job of combining, to eliminate weeds ind trash. Showing or Selling For the showman or club boy or girl who wants prizewinning finish and bloom on show or sale cattle, Purina Beef Chow is right. It contains a high level of Vitamin A feeding oil . . This helps condition and bloom, and supports appetite over long feeding periods. •wDon’4 Rob Your Cows On Pasture In early spring lush green pastures are a welcome sight to dairymen. But, lush green pasture Ls deceiving nutritlonally. Cows just can’t eat enough of it to supply necessary nutrients for body and milk production. Bulky-Las is one way to keep from robbing ..cows on pasture. Feed a half gallon night and morning on regular ration as long as pasture is good. •

America's Walker Cuppers Win Easily ST. ANNE’S ON SEA, Eng. (INS) — America’s hotshot Walker Cuppers set up shop today for operation “Grand Slam’’ when they began preparations for the British amateur golf championship. History and form favored the victorious U. S, delegation In the,' i rugged test which begins May 30 at St. Anne’s tricky, 6,657 yard layout. An has the British amateur every year since 1926 when B/italn was the scehe of the Walker Cup matches. And judging by the ease with- 1 which the Yanks swept through a 10 to 2 rout of the Britishers at St. Andrews over the weekend, the golf experts are predicting a slam for the U. S. All the Americapjj-cuppers except Harvie Ward of San Francisco, are entered in the tougpey. Ward, one of the U. S. aces, is returning home for business. The youthful U. S. team, chalking up the 14th win In 15 biennial meetings with Britain, sur- t prised observers with the ease with which they conquered the wind, rain and their more experienced rivals. Team captain Billy Campbell of Huntfiigton, W. Va., and Ward were the only two members of the squad who had played in the British Isles before and Britain had been given its best chance in years to win. Campbell sat out the matches on the sidelines and Ward beat Britain’s best, Ronnie Whits, in Saturday’s 36 hole sibgles competition. 50 The only losses were against Joe Conrad of San Antonio, Tex., and Dale Morey of Ihdianapolis and they dropped close 1-up decisions. Joining approximately 45 other statesiders In the British amateur will be Billy Joe Patton. Morgantown, N. C., regarded as Uncle Sam’s chief threat with the departure of Ward. Richard Yost, i Seattle, Wash., Crooner Don Cherry of Wichita Falls, Tex.. Jim Jackson of St. Louis and Bruce Cudd of Portland. Ore. Campbell, whose coaching was an important factor in America’s overwhelming cup win, sheds his non-playing role in the amateur test. The tall West Virginian was runnerup to Australia’s Doug Bachlie last year and will be out to go all the way this time. Bachlie is not defending his crown. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Club W. L. Pct. G.B.
