Times do change, however. This rude jost was particular-' and I gather that golf has now ly meaningful to the golfers in i become a popular bucolic pas time. I gather this from a press release reporting that the Agriculture Department in the past nine months has ' granted 20 loans totaling Sl.ollO million to build golf courses for farmers. At first, this information rath er startled me. But upon second thought I could see that it was a logical extension of the federal farm programs of the past few decades. I mean, if the government is going to pay farmers for not growing crops, it seems only fair that they should have a place to spend the time they save not growing them. And what better place than a golf course? Instead of plowing the "back forty," they can try to shoot 40 on the back nine. Some golfers, of course, play better than other golfers. These differences presently are adjust ed by a system of handicaps my home town in Texas because the course they played on actu ally was an old pasture. Being unable to afford a groundskceper. they used to let the cows graze on the links to keep down the jimson weeds on Crater Logging Bids High for Timber Crater Logging company.
