To the credit OF the fast amateur ag-

good and fast one, with much of the
honor going to the visitors. Mcfarland of
Pell City pitched an excellent game, sew

being of the "dinkiest' nature. His sup
port at critical times went to pieces, as
all amateur aggregations will when play
ing with professionals, and in this way
the majority of the seven runs obtained
by the locals were made.
For the visitors, Darrell Pratt, short

good, and when, by daring stab, he

fall when II, too, Will give good crops I'M
til frost.
The turnip varieties of beets may be
planted in early fall when they will give
fine, tender bulbs, far superior in quality
to the ones brought over from the spring
paintings. Broccoli, cabbage, colards, Gu
cumbers and carrots may all be grown in
the fall.
Late paintings of cucumbers give the
finest fruits for pickles.
Mustard, kale. onions and spinach are
all fine fall and winter vegetables.
Then there is the radish, turnip and to-
mato that come right along in the order
of good fall vegetables. A good plan for
having fine tomatoes right up to frost is
to plant the seed in early July and set the
plants; keep them well cultivated and
they will bear fine fruit until late in the
season.
Rhubard or PIE Plant.
While we are preparing the other good
things we should not be unmindful of the
pie-plant This plant however is better
| adapted to our northern climates where it
grows and thrives and where its best
Qualities are fully developed. Still, by Sc
lecthg favorable spots, and preparing the
SOIL planting and cultivating, as recon-
mended for asparagus, many of our
southern people may succeed in growing
enough fine pie-plant to meet their home
demand. One thing. however, that Will
add much in growing this plant in tho
south, is mulching during the hot sum-
mers. AS soon as the weather begins to
get hot, use heavy mulch of well rotted
wheat or oat straw. and see that the under
side of the mulch is kept damp all the
, summer or during the hot dry weather.
There are many other vegetables suitable
for fall planting, but what is here named
will give great variety.
