PLAN FOR COMBINATION TEAM
HAS FALLEN THROUGH IN
WALLA WALLA
Pendeton Does Not Want to Go IN
So Deep-SoIdiers Will
Play Sunday

The prospects of Walla Walla hav-
ing league baseball for the remainder
of the season are not very f1attering;
in fact. it looks now as though the
plan for putting a combination Walla
Walla- Pendleton team in the Pacific
National to replace Ogden is out of the
ouestion. Information comes from
Pendleton that the people of that city
are not in favor of combination team
under any circumstances, and they
prefer amateur to professional ball.
This knocks in the head the plans
made by President Williams of Spo-
kane, while in Walla Walla this week.
1t is absolutely certain that there
is no one in Walla Walla who desires
to pose as a baseball magnet of the
first water and the fans who, in for
mer years, had some experience with
the two brush" leagues are very out
spoken in saying that they have no
money to finance the project.
In speaking of the proposition to-
day a gentleman, who is one of the
most enthusiastic ball cranks In Wallai
Walla, said.
IF Walla Walla was to go into the
Pacific National league an entire new
team would have to be secured. 1t
would have to be made up of good,
fast players, which would mean that
a salary list of at least $1,000 month
, would have to be provided. This has
been tried on two different occasions
and proved to be a losing venture.
While the people in general are very
enthusiastic and in the past have con-
tributed literally toward keeping up
a fast team, yet baseball of that cnar-
acter has never been made to pay even
the necessary expenses. l don't be-
lieve that the time is ripe for Walla
Walla to branch out and step into
league like the Pacific National. While
I will admit that better ball would
mean larger crowds at the games, yet
we have not got the population to
warrant taking on ourselves the ex-
ira expense that would be entailed. We
will have to be satisfied with good am
ateur ball for some time to come

At the Garden City ball park Sun
day afternoon at o'clock the Fruit
Pickers and the Fort Walla Wal1a
team will battle again. These two
teams are about evenly matched and
so far the best games of the season
have been played by them. The SOL

Cultivation-The price to be paid for

SOWING OF SEEDS.

In the sowing of flower seeds cover

quite often made. The seeds being very
small, some nearly as fine as dust, it is
necessary to be very careful in planting
them. Extremely small seeds should be
sown on top Of the ground, which

covered deeper, from one-eighth to one

vitality. Always press the earth firm

PANSIEs-HOW TO RAISE THEM

Disturb the roots of your plants as
little as possible when transplanting
from pots into the flower garden. Run
a thin knife blade all around the inside
of the pot to loosen the soil from the
side 50 that the soil will come out read
lily when you turn the pot upside down.
A cloudy day is best for setting out
plants, and if a good rain comes after
your work is done, all the better.
Your pansy garden must be kept wet
about the roots if you would have fine
flowers all summer. You must pluck
them every day if you would have them
bloom continually.
In transplanting pansy plants do not
set them too near together, six or sew
en- inches apart is quite near enough,
and they will spread into large thrifty
plants and bear more flowers. In July
pansy seed should be sown, or little
later. Make bed in a good soil, enrich
it well; give the plants plenty of sun
light and they will become strong
plants before winter. Then cover the
bed carefully with some good mulch;
then in early spring the pansies will
blossom with the snowdrops, and, if
you have procured good strain and
several varieties, you will have hand
some blooming bed all summer.

Gardening for Pleasure and Profit.
OUTDOOR ROSES.
By TOHN NORDINE.

Lake City, Mimi, March 21-The
rose has been justly called the queen of
flowers. More time, money and people
are occupied in it's culture, and more
pleasure derived from it than any other
flower. Outdoor roses are of the widest
Importance, as they are within the
reach Of all and with judicious selec-
tions will furnish bloom for even a
longer period than the dollhouse varie-
ties. In Minnesota the rose may be
enjoyed in almost the same profusion
as elsewhere, provided few simple at
tentions necessary to their welfare be
given them. The first requisition in the
culture of roses is the selection and
preparation of a suitable place for
planting.
Position-This is very important, as
all that follows depends upon the care
used in this first step. A warm, sunny
there is an exposure to the morning
sun and if the hot rays during the
afternoon are in part or wholly shaded,
all the better But a certain amount
Of sunlight is as essential to the well
fare of the rose as to our own, tho many
of us do not show our appreciation of
the blessing of sunlight as gratefully
often leads people to plant roses under
"
close to large, deep-rooted trees, and
there is inquiry and wonderment why
the plants are always covered with
mildew and why they do not bloom and
grow as those in their neighbor s yard
where there are always beautiful roses
to be seen. ,--.....

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN

Supply ,Variety-One Of the common
mistakes of the amateur IS vegetable
garden is the lack Of a continuous sup
ply in sufficient variety. It is too apt
to be the case that there is only one
vegetable in season at time, and that.
for short time There is a planting
made of beans, for instance, another OF,
peas, another Of corn, and that one
planting ends it, SO far as that -vegeta-
BILE is concerned. To be sure, later in
the season there are other vegetables
that continue for long time, but after
all there is often a lack of that plentiful
variety which is as grateful to the
taste as it is healthful. This poor con-
dition Of. things is most easily remedied
by the little attention and care neces-
sary to make new planting about every
ten days until the middle Of June. After
that time the weather becomes too
warm for the healthy growth of peas,
and if the late varieties of sweet corn
are put in at that season they will be
in use about the time of early frosts.
By selecting the proper varieties of
lettuce and making successive sowings,
there should be a constant supply thru
the season, whereas in most gardens it
is only a spring luxury.

CULTIVATE SHRUBS.

If not entirely barren Of shrubbery-
have too little. Some owners prefer a
smooth lawn, unbroken except by flower
lined walks, while others like flower
beds alone, ,unobscured by shrubbery of
any kind. An unbroken lawn is some
times best for the front of the house,
but there should be shrubbery grace.

and in the rear, particularly if there is

pearance of your door-yard or lawn.

FLOWERS IN BOXES AND PANS.

Seeds of such flowers as phlox, por-
tulaca, marigolds, four o'clocks, pinks
and nearly all ANIMALS can now be sown
in boxes and will make nice strong
plants by the last Of May or the first
of June.
Shallow seed pans are more satisfac-
tory for the fine seeds than the deep
pots. In watering set the shallow tin
in another containing the water and
the soil will absorb it thru the holes in
the bottom Of the pan, giving the seeds
sufficient moisture without displacing
them.

How to Put In Seed-As there are
many beginners each year who have had
no experience in vegetable gardening,
they will want every detail of seed

alike. It is we'll to remember that all
varieties may be covered with soil
about three times the diameter Of the

merely sitting of soil over them, while
peas, etc., about one-third Of an inch

deeper.
