The Bluegrass Claims Its Own 



Corn-planting or cultivating, hay- 

 making, the oat harvest or other field 

 work at home prevents the average 

 farmer-neighbor from selling service or 

 power to anyone else. When they do 

 work for a Country Club they of course 

 charge all the traffic can be made to 

 bear; which is natural, of course, and 

 all proper enough. What good is a 

 Club anyhow if those who deal with it 

 as outsiders may not milk it? 



And yet with all the sport these same 

 thrifty people make of the big and 

 beautiful links in their midst, and of 

 those who play over them, I note that 

 they themselves go in for some little 

 recreation now and then. Pitching 

 horseshoes at pegs in the ground is 

 good fun. I have enjoyed many an 

 hour at it myself when my lot was cast 

 upon a farm. And it doesn't hurt 

 these good German farmers particu- 

 larly that I can see to indulge now and 

 then in this competitive contest of 

 skill. To win requires a steady hand
