Asparagus is a crop that takes few

Asparagus is crop that takes few
years to come into good bearing; but
If the bed is properly prepared at the
start its life is unlimited. The
asparagus plant needs lots Of fertiliza-
tion, and pays handsome return for
all care expended on it. 1t is n
peculiarly desirable crop to plant as
it is ready for the market ahead of
anything else, ana brings the ranch
man a little money when he most
needs it in the spring This crop
eau readily be made to produce profit
of $3.50 per acre net.
Pieplant also deserves mention as a
gocd spring money-maker. 1t pro-
duces with such prodigslity that even
at q small price per pound the total
returns are large A Lincoln Park
ranchman has pieplant in front of his
house in place of lawn. and is
rather proud of the fact that he has
sold some $s5 worth of rhubarb of of
space two by four rods. He rather
favors this as 9 lawn crop

them. Our market gardeners, whose
places are to be found along Riverside
avenue, in South Canon, and across
the river beyond the Soda point, tell
some wonderful stories of what they
can do with q small piece of ground
in these crops The fact that they
value their land At about 81. 800 per
scre speaks for itself. 1t is one of

These crops pay even better than
the crops already mentioned: but they
require more care more work more
attention and q much better knowi-
edge of the ''how TO do it, The
great requisite is to find a market and
hold it. The local market is easily
oveptocked early in the season. and
our commission men have not yet got
facilities perfected to handle these
crops at q paying figure. The sue

Among a large number Of the fruit
growers and ranchmen of this vicinity
there seems to be u prevailing opinion
that with the exception of the grow
>fnR Of spples there is little or no
money in the production of any other
kind of crop. This opinion has natural
ly communicated ITSELF to our busi-
ness men and other citizens. and as q
result many strangers coming into our

apple raising is the one and only

DEPRIVATION AVERTED.
Saloon Privilege at Benning Assured
by Transfer of License.

The anticipated dry time during the
approaching race meet at Benning. as
stated in The Star several days ago, will
not materialize local saloonkeeper has
come to the rescue Of the Washington
Jockey Club and the excise board has done
the rest The trouble as heretofore stated
was caused by the neglect of somebody con-
nected with the club to make the necessary
deposit for a renewal Of the liquor license
Until yesterday the club had slight hopes Of
being able to overcome its troubles, and
need stimulants while watching the events
feared they would have to remain dry" or
convert themselves into portable bar rooms
Such an arrangement would have been well
coined by some Of the local liquor dealers,
on account Of the bottle trade which would
naturally have resulted.
There need be no further alarm over the
matter now, however for the excise board
has decided to transfer a permit from the
saloon of Martin Mulroe. on G street north
east, to the race track. Mulroe's building
has been taken by the railroad company. as
II is on the site of the new terminal station
His license is an ordinary bar room permit
and does not carry with 1t the club priv
ileges such as have heretofore been enjoyed
in the race track club room.
According to the terms of the permit the
sale Of liquor will be permitted only during
the regular hours of business enjoyed by
the keepers OF bar rooms. The sale of in
toxicants on Sundays will be prohibited by
the permit Mulroe will merely trans fer
his permit, and later the Jockey Club ap-
plication will be acted upon

Ask Entries for Auto Cup Race.

George Isham Scott. chairman of the rae
ing committee of the Automobile Club OF
America, has sent out letter to the men,
bers of the club. in which he calls attention
TO the next international race for the Cor
don Bennett cup. to be held in Germany
next year. The letter says that as the
driver of any American automobile In this
race must be a member of the Automobile
Club of America. this opportunity is given
of sending application to be chosen
member of the American team. This COM
mittee will receive entries arriving at the
club up TO December 10. The team will be
of not more than three men. The letter
further announces that entries must be &C.
companied by a description of the automo-
bile TO be used and Its state Of completion.
A check for $500 must also accompany the
entry which will be refunded If the entrant
is not chosen as soon as the team has been
definitely selected.
IL is probable that Barney Oldfleld may
operate one of the cars in the race. The
rules of the contest say that drivers repre-
senting this country must be members Of
the Automobile Club OF America. and as
Oldiield is not one, II is expected that the
affair will have to be arranged In some
way. Oidfeld has been performing remark
able feats on the Winton machine on vari-
Gus tracks here this season. 1t Is the same
car used in the last international cup race.
Oldfield has repeatedly expressed his desire
to enter In this race.
