grass was dormant in the fall before
applying the fertilizer, the benefit
would not be as great.
Civilization

applying the 1ertlnzer, Cne pehehs
would not be as great.
Cultivation
Commence to cultivate very early
in the spring as close as possible with
out injuring it, tipping the cultivator
over to one side so that the inside
shovels will run shallow. AS has been
previously noted the first working OF
the soil is the light discing early in the
spring, after the manure has been ap-
piled on the rows. This discing must
be made just as soon as the frost is
out in the spring, which will generally
be about March LIST, if not earlier.
The shoots will begin to come thru
the ground in some localities as early
as the goth of March, so if you do not
work it very early you will injure the
first growth, which is the highest
priced cutting Of the season.
Irrigation
One mistake that great many per-
sons make, is too heavy irrigation in
the early spring and not enough dur
ing the latter part of the season. In
the early part of the season the soil
and the water is cold, and if you wa
ter very heavy the crop is held back.
You should make quick and light ir-
rigation at first, and gradually in
crease the amount of water as the
ground becomes warmer. During the
very warm weather you should use an
abundance of water, not only when
cutting, but after you have quit cut
ting, as the asparagus plant is a very
heavy feeder. Also continue your cul-
tivation just the same turnout the
season.
Harvesting the Crop
We are coming now to a very i'm
portant part of the work. You may
handle your ground properly, and
have all the conditions previously
mentioned just right, but if you fail
to harvest your crop properly, you
cannot expect to receive profitable re-
turns for your labor.
What our market here in the North
west wants is a tender green shoot,
and the quicker the growth Of the
shoot to the required length, the more
tender and better qaality it is.
If your ground has been well fer
tilted and properly planted and taken
care of the first season, you can pick
a light crop from it the second season.
(This makes the third season from
the seed). By light crop we mean
cutting for short season, from to
weeks, depending upon the. strength
of the plant, but we do not advise
cutting longer than weeks the Sec
ond season as it weakens the plants
and possibly may be permanent det-

THEHOME GARDEN

Note-Thru arrangements with the
proprietors of the Breithaupt-Reed
Nursery this paper is offering its
readers new department to be known
under the general head Of "The Home
Garden" It is our intention in start
ing this column to furnish our readers
with information regarding the pro-
duction and care of ornamental shrubs
vines and flowers; however, the writ
ers will occasionally prepare articles
dealing with some of the crops grown
commercially in the valley. Such an
article is the one this week on CAS-
paragus Culture" The next article
will probably deal with "Rose Gull
ture."
The soil of the Kennewick valley is
exceptionally well adapted to the
growing of not only an early but an
excellent quality of asparagus, which
makes it one of the best commercial
crops that may be grown here.
The asparagus likes good loose
soil with plenty of warm, sunny days,
yet with these natural advantages we
must rot thing to grow the best
quaiity asparagus without the pro-
per planting and continuous care of
the bed. 1t is a permanent and pro-
fitable crop as long as it receives the
attention that it should.
Planting
The best time to plant is governed
somewhat by the conditions Of the
soil and weather, but it may be plant
ed in the fall, or at any time during
the winter months when the frost is
out of the ground, or in the spring,
but if planted in the spring, by all
means get the plants in as early as
possible.
In preparing the ground for plant
ing, we would recommend very deep
plowing-at least ten inches. If there
has been clover, vetch or alfalfa grown
on the ground previously, all the bet
ter, but it is not essential as the land
may be fortified after the plants are
placed in the ground. It is good plan
to give the ground a good coating of
manure before blowing, getting the
manure down good and deep into the
soil, and it is best to pillow some time
before planting the "grass" if pos
sible.
Depth to Plant
When ready to plant, run the rows
with a large pillow, going thru the row
twice or more, if necessary, throwing
the furrow both ways so as to get
very deep ditch. The ditch should be

GREEN MONSTER NOW
 OWNS ITS 63 CLAIMS

Special Correspondence.
 JEROME, Aug. 19.- The biggest mining deal closed in the Jerome dis trict in many weeks was completed Thursday when the Green Monster Mining Co., took up the option cover ing its patented claims. the amount involved totalling Sl07, ,000. Neill Bailey, president of the company, and Manager w. s. Humbert, with LeRoy Anderson, counsel for the company, transacted the business in Prescott, and the Green Monster is now owner of every piece of ground included in the 63 claims in the group.
 The stockholders in this company are now owners of actual property, instead of holders of options, and Manager Humbert stated yesterday, after returning from Prescott, that the option was taken up three years before its expiration. The paying of the sum indicated above long before the time for such payment had expit- cd is looked on as conclusive evi- dence of the faith of the officials and directors of. the Green Monster in the intrinsic worth of the property.

LICENSE STOLEN CEREMONY IS
 DELAYED
M A R RIAGE POSTPONED AN HOUR UNTIL DUP LICATE IS SECURED. FROM COURT CLERK.
(From Tuesdays DaiIy.)


 If you were ready to be married the priest was present, the bride waiting and the hour had come for rronouncing the words that would make you a benedict - wouldn't il make you pecved to discover that the license was missing?
 That was what happened to Fred l.. Aspey last night. No, not all for late in the afternoon some of his friends had made him a prisoner in his room with intent to keep him there. But love laughs at locksmiths and Aspey finally effected his escape and made his way by a circuitous route to the home of his prospective bride, where the ceremony was to be performed.
 Missing the paper that gave him legal authority to change the name Of pretty Miss Louise Logan to Mrs. Aspey, Aspey found himself in a pc culiar dilemma. Without the license he could not get married and he was afraid if he ventured forth in search or duplicate document, his friends would seize him. Finally Court Clerk Pat Farley was phoned to and a guest dispatched to get the paper. Although the hour set for the cere- mony was 8 o'clock, it was not until .9 that the event occurred.
 Tie Logan home, 325 South Monte zuma had been beautifully decorated for the occasion, the color scheme being pink and white. The bride looked beautiful, arrayed in a very becoming white crepe de chine dress and the bridesmaid, Mrs. c. A. Morris, was fetching in a blue crepe de chine gown. William Raab was best man. Rev. Father Flamenco pronounced the fateful words, and following con, cratulations the bridal couple and guests enjoyed a bountiful wedding supper.
 Mir. Aspey is employed by the grocery firm of Middleton & Will ilams and is highly esteemed by all who know him. Mrs. Aspey is the daughter of highly respected pioneer residents and is charming and pop ular.
 The mystery of the disappearance of the marriage license was solved late last night, when some of the friends of Aspey admitted that they Lad it in their possession. If a bad beginning makes a good ending, Mir. and Mrs. Aspey arc assured of an abundance of happiness in their mari tai journey through life.

DAY FOR WALNUT
 GROVE
BIG ATTENDANCE AT COW- BOY SPORTS, PLENTY TO EAT, ENJOYABLE PICNIC; GOOD CHEER REIGNS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

- AH NNNAilleiANu llAdl w dllul had at least 300 visitors last Sunday, to witness special contests pulled of by cowboys. enjoy an old fashioned picnic, and give to that community its first taste of real outdoor celebra- ton.
 Cort Carter was master of cere- monies, and some very lively events were pulled off, in which side bets reached to over $500. The events were as follows:
 Steer riding, won by Willie John son, first; Will Jones, second: and Will Holder, third.
 T Another steer riding contest was necessary, in which Berry Rush won first money and Frank Wingart was second
 The double steer roping event was won by Walter Cline in 231l seconds, C. w. Pardee second in 31 seconds, and Berry Rush third in 5 seconds.
 Calf roping, single animal, was won by C. w. Pardee in 235z seconds, Buster Gardner in 241l, and Henry Ritter in 25 seconds.
 The pony race, a 30O-yard dash, was won by Cort Carter, Frank Con- dron, second.
 Field sports of a miscellaneous character not on the program were pulled off by visitors. There was no friction, but good natured feeling pre- vailed among all contestants and spectators.
 The picnic feature of the day oc- casioned very many compliments to be showered on housewives of tha, country. who provided an abundance of everything that was good to eat.
 The rivalry was made keen by spe- cial prizes being offered by spectators. \. II. Getchell, of Prescott, put up q pair of finely made schaps for the winner of the steer roping contest, while Colonel Fred Bowler dangled a pair of silver spurs for the winner of the calf roping event. Walter Cline and (. w. Pardee captured these trophies.
 Prescott was selected as the next place for similar range event to be pulled off, and next Sunday was set as the day.
 Dark Horse of Range.
 When it was announced there would be a special exhibition of roping and tying, given by E. H. Cooper, large bovine owner of Santa Maria, who has retired from contest doings, and that he would attempt to smash all records ever made in Arizona, there was keen interest shown to see this baron in action in the saddle. He got his lariat to working as in other days, and in its swing big critter was en- circled. Bovine No. ? went down in a jiffy, and so did the third, Cooper making the wonderful time of 3075 seconds for his three throws. His feat was astonishing to those who are rated as experts, but they were con soled by the pleasant information be- ing imparted by Cooper that he was following the range strictly on a | business plane, and the boys could pluck the prizes in the future without fear of him being an entrant Cooper | came from Gila county recently, and says he will defend Yavapai against | the world if it ever comes to show down in roping and tying.
