Ernest Shore, the big right handler
Boston grabbed from the BaltimoIe
club several weeks ago. is the greatest
young pitcher who has broken into the
big show since Walter johnson appear
ed in Washington
Joe Birmingham, magager OF the Cleve-
land club, made this statement to the
week
II believe that Shores fast ball is
just as fast as was Johnson's when
Walter came East from Idaho. Shore
right now possesses a better curve than
Johnson Birmy added
Washington fans have yet to see
Shore in action, but as the Red Sox
come here late this month an oppor-
tunity will probably be afforded to make
comparisons.
shore may be all that Birmy claims,
but we are from Missouri
Twice in three days Walter johnson
has been beaten by a recruit twirler, for
yesterdays Chicago triumph was gain
ed while johnson was In the box, after
he had relieved Shaw, the score being
tie at two all.
Wolfgang opposed johnson Saturday,
the Sox winning. to / and 1t was this
same spitball hurler yesterday who was
able to hold the Nationals safe after he
had taken up the burden where Cicotte
left on in the ninth.
Ray Schalk. the White Sox catcher is
twenty-five years old. He admits II.
When the club reached town from
Philadelphia late Friday night SchaIk
rushed into a well-known cafe demand
ing a glass Of beer. Like all Germans,
Ray must have his stein before hitting
the hay.
The bartender looked him over, and
after hesitating a minute said:
Get out OF here. We don't serve kids."
Schalk beat a hasty retreat without
even putting up an argument.

WE SHOULD HAVE
BETTER GRASS YIELDS
Seeding Timothy To itself With Lib

the Yield.
NICHOLAS scHMITz.

NiCkOLA6 SCHMllL-
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
The yield Of timothy hay In Mary
land, both in quality and in the tons
per acre is far below what could be
probably produced on the land now
in meadow. In fact, farmers have
harvested so many unsatisfactory
crops Of late years that they are in
clined to Try something new as .
forage crop If anything can be found
that would be an Improvement on
timothy. red top. or the cloyers.
The remedy, believe, is not to be
found In new crop. but in better
cultural methods than those we al
ready have. Recent experiments at
the Maryland Experiment Station indi.
cate that q much improved yield may
be secured by seeding grass to itself
in the early fall and by the proper use
of fertilizers in the spring. These
tests carried on In three fields, one OF
timothy, one of red top. and one of =
mixture of timothy. red top. and clover
showed that phosphoric acid when ap-
y led alone as In raw bone, acid rock.
or any other material had very little
eject on timothy. red top. or any
ther grass On the other hand,
nitrogen or ammonia. especially as
found in Nitrate of Soda, regularly
gave large increase In yield.
Taking into account, the ease Of
applying the fertilizer and the quality
Of the hay, the best results were got
ten by using equal parts of nitrate Of
soda and acid phosphate at the rate OF
ESQ pounds Of each per acre. As COM
pared to strips Of grass adjoining that
had no fertilizer used on 1t the yield
in 1912 was 1873 tons per acre as
against 2.94 tons where the above mix
ture was applied as a top dressing.
In 1918 the yield was o7 tons, as
against 2.95 tons or over three times
the yield on land where no fertilizer
was used; $50 pounds OF nitrate Of
sode was found TO be the most
economical amount to use in making
the greatest profits possible By top
dressing.
The fertilizer should be applied ~
soon as the grass starts 10 grow.

HERMAN BEcKENsTRATER.

Seven hundred barrels Of apples

tween two and three thousand dollars
is not bad farming. Yet this is what
the Hanson Brothers. Of Ellicott City,
secured the past season from an old
orchard that six years ago was prac-
tically worthless. What they have ae-
complished can be repeated to ad-
vantage with many Of our neglected
orchards.
The first step in bringing into use.
fulness an old orchard Is a thorough
cleaning up. Most old orchards have
not been well pruned. as is shown BY
decaying branches, tops that are too
thick and high, and great growth
of water sprouts. Thin out the top

vigor Of the tree. Scrape off the loose,
shaggy bark which harbors Insects,
using a short-handled hoe. with a
sharp knife remove IN the winter or
early spring, all signs OF eanker, body.

close and paint the wound to prevent
loss from evaporation. This will a.. o

If you have left your plowing until

When the farmer thinks of getting a
new binder, let him find out whether
or not a new sewing machine or bread
mixer is not needed more. His wife
is the one to help him decide the Ques-
.tion. When he thinks Of getting a
share in a pure bred stallion, perhaps
he had better think twice His wife
might be able to make a few pure
bred chickens pay even better. When
he is planning his field work, let him
see that the half days work needed
in the garden is done in season. A
good garden will help his wife take
better care of his family than dozen
fields OF corn.
A lot Of things can be done about
the house. from time to time. making
it brighter and more comfortable yet
costing little. A bay window might
make the living room lot cosier and
provide a place for few flowers, a
nice, little corner to darn socks and
sew in. The farmer might build out
bath room over the back porch with
a homemade bath tub in It. To be
sure he ought to have running water
to so with 1t. Why not? Some pipe.
"a few tools, and little knowledge OF
pipe fitting would do the trick. Add
a little gasoline engine that could
grind feed and churn or run a separa
tor. The whole outfit, engine, water,
and bath room ought not to cost over
800 if the farmer will turn to and get
busy. How many horses could he
buy for 800 that would save his wife
as such an outfit would and keep hel
young?
