SIMPLE REMEDIES

Simple and effective remedies for

MULCH IN GARDEN
INCREASES YIELD
Favorable Results Obtained by
Practice at Nebraska Ex-
pertinent Station.

At the Nebraska experiment station
mulching gave favorable results for
cabbage. tomatoes. beans, cucumbers.
potatoes and sweet potatoes. The
yield Of each Of these crops was ma
terially increased BY mulching and
the labor required was considerably
less than In the case Of cultivation
alone
Mulched cabbage produced larger
heads than cultivated cabbage. and
there was less injury from rot. The
vigor Of tomato plants was decreased
by mulching. but the yield Of fruit in
creased. The fruit was also cleaner
and less subject to rot. Mulched Gu.
cumbers produced perfect fruit during
dry periods when the fruit from the
cultivated plants was small and I'm
perfect The quality Of potatoes was
not hurt BY mulching except in vet
places. Celery II another crop often
much benefited BY heavy mulching.

should the reserve clause in the plaE-
ers' contracts be held Illegal by the
courts it would prove just as great a
handicap for the Federal League as for
organized base ball. The Federal
League has a reserve clause in it's con-
tract and the contract also embodies
the ten-day release clause. There is.
therefore. little or no difference in the
contracts used by the two factions.
hence both will be similarly affected by
a decision of the courts
Should the reserve clause be abol-

by which they can hold their players

Federal League should be successful.
all it will have accomplished is an in

II stands to reason that the recent changes

Of competent legal talent. Organized

there is sure to be a hard-iought and
long drawn legal struggle before the ques-

The claim by the Federals that more
than eighty players from the ranks of the
ma iors have been corraled must be taken
with IA grain .of salt. 1t is questionable
whether that number of players are out

The eagcrness of the league heads to

one scheme which it is said the Fed
efai League proposes TO inaugurate is
TO pick up the young players who are
tried and found wanting in the Ameri-
can and National leagues next spring.
these players are usually sent back to
the minors by the big league clubs
but the Federals will make these
PLAYERS good inducements to get them
to join their ranks.
The Feds propose to find berths for
all these youngsters and in time eN-
pect to develop lot of them into
real stars. That the new leagu will
cut some figure in this respect is not
to be doubted. The average youngster
who fails in his big league trial would
jump at a chance to go with "A league
supposed to be of a high caliber
than the one from which he came.
Ihey are usually in a frame of mind
which would make them susceptible to
propositions even though these come
from the outlaws"
Most any ball player who is picked up
by a major league club for trial has some
class. He may be undeveloped, but in
time stands q chance to make good. The
Federal Leagues scheme to corral this
class of players is not a bad one, but
big league clubs are sure to take great
care that 1t does not succeed. Some sort
OF an arrangement will no doubt be
made to satisfy the young players who
are not Yet ripe for fast company where
by the club will Retain some sort of a
hold on them for future use.
The failings of an incompetent umpire
usually result from his rendering de-
cisions too soon There was an instance
OF this kind in a game played by the
Nationals in Philadelphia last. spring
The score was tied in the ninth. with
Ainsmith at third. two out and Mcbride
at the bat. Mcbride hit a swinging bunt
down the third base line and the umpire
called it foul. but just before the bail
stopped rolling it struck some obstacle
and rolled on fair territory. Mcbride of
course, had not started from the plate and
he was apparently thrown out at first
protest. however. was made and Nc
Bride was allowed to bat over He struck
out and the run from third did not score.
Had Mcbride started when he hit the
ball he could have reached first with
ease and the run could have scored
