PREPARING BED
FOR ASPARAGUS
Best Time for Setting Plants Out
Is in Early Spring, About
End of April.

A good asparagus bed is expected
TO last twenty years. The soil should,
therefore. be prepared in most thor
ough manner.
A warm. sandy soil is best. but 1t
will do we'll in any good garden SOIL
that is free from stones. A SOIL that
has been heavily MANFRED a few
previous seasons is preferable to ma
nuring heavily at the time OF setting
out the roots, but at no period shq"id
asparagus be allowed to suffer from
lack of manuring, as first-class shoots
can only be grown in very rich soil.
For the home garden the plants
may be set out in rows about thirty
inches apart, having the plants about
eighteen inches apart.
The best time for setting out as
paragus is early in the spring, usual
" about the end of April. Where the
rows are to be make burrows one foot
wide and eight inches deep. In these
burrows set the plants in a natural
position with the roots spread we'll
apart and about twelve to eighteen
inches apart. Be careful to cover the
crown of the plants not more than
two inches in the start, as the shoots
from newly set plants are not strong
enough to force through a deep mass
of earth. The furrow may be grad
ually filled as the shoots advance in
growth.
The object of setting the crowns so
far below the surface is to protect
them from injury when cutting the
shoots for use, as they are usually cut
about two inches below the surface.
Although growers differ in their
opinions on what the age of plants
for setting should be, one-year-old
plants seem to give the best salts

Pineapple House Plant.

Those who love the beautiful in ma

easily have both in their homes with
but little trouble or expense.
When preparing pineapple for the
table, cut off the top and place it in
a jar of water for a few days. Curl
ously enough, it will put forth roots
and grow for weeks, making a very
handsome plant. 1t can be placed in
a window or on a stand in the living

w. Hallam Claude, as counsel for
the Taxpayers League of Anne
Arundel County, laid before the Coun-
ty Commissioners a resolution pro-
testing against alleged neglect of duty
on the part of County Engineer Louis
H. Green. The resolution states that
frequent complaint has been made
that the engineer can seldom be found
in his Office by those who wish to see
him on business matters, and sets
forth that he is engineering a Gov
eminent contract job within the limits
of the Naval Academy 1t is charged
that this encroaChes upon time that
he should give to the service for the
county. 1t is suggested that the Com
missioners adopt certain hours that
the engineer should be in his Office
when not otherwise engaged in coun-
ty work.

OYstermen Protest.

About 100 oyster tongers, living in
the South river section of Anne Arun-
del county, gathered in the hall Of
the House of Delegates at the State
House for a public hearing before the
Maryland Fish Commission, at which
they registered strong protest against
the leasing of certain grounds under
the waters of Selbys Bay, tributary
of South river, for oyster culture.
Former State Senator A. Theodore
Brady, of Annapolis, was the princi-
pie spokesman for the tongers. The
commission through Mr.. William IL.
Maltbie promised to protect the inter
ests of the tongers as far as it lay
within its power. The matter, it was
stated, is legal question, and Attor-
ney-General Poe will be asked to rem
der an opinion.

While the results fail to show any
material difference between the physi-

in the two animals. they do show
clearly an economic superiority of the
pure-bred over the scrub steer, due
