BACKYARD GARDEN PROBLEMS MADE
F.. EASY TO SOLVE FOR CITY GARDENERS
"Sour" "Wet' and "Stiff" Soils Chief Difficulties
Obstacles May Be Overcome and at What

BY JOHN BARTRAM

when the hand is opened This test Is
applicable to comparatively heavy soils. but
II is these which receive the most injury IL
they are worked when wet, hence should
not be worked too early.
Barnyard or stable manure furnishes both
plant food and humus. Applications of from
twenty TO thirty tons to the acre are made
Tor various soils and special crops Manure
should be distributed evenly over the sur
face and later worked In with a harrow or
hoe and rake. Frequently 1t is advisable to
apply commercial fertilizer especially
phosphate. An application of 200 to 500
pounds of acid phosphate to the acre is
usually sufficient. In order to supply
potash. IL this is needed unleached wood
ashes may be distributed over the garden
at the rate OF 500 to 1000 pounds to the
acre. Wet, or leached ashes. have less
fertilizer value, and are used from 900 to
1000 pounds to an acre In order to speed
plants applications Of 100 pounds to the
acre Of nitrate of soda are sometimes used.
Those who use street sweepings to ferti-
lize gardens should avoid manure that con-
tains oil or tar. Either of these substances
is harmful. Sweepings from tarred pave
ments or oiled roads are likely to contain
them. OH droppings from motor cars often
mix with such waste. also If Eweepings
are collected with some care and before
rain or water from street sprinklers have
reached them and washed out the elements
of fertilizng value they can be used ad-
yantageousy.

PATRIOTISM REIGNS
IN SHOW AT KEITH'S
Sophie Tucker and Ragtime
Reilly Run Neck and Neck
for Honors

Patriotism ran rampant at keith's. 1t
begins with the news picture showing the
arrival of Marshal Joffre at washington
and bobs up in emphatic fashion every now
and then
This fervor at the outset of the proceed
ings gives tho show n flying start and last
night it made the audience especially gem
erous in the way of applause
Another event was the appearance of
Sophie Tucker as n hoadliner. She was
assisted by her five kings of syncopation.'
As soon as most musicians so in for synco-
pated melodies they Immediately become
members of royalty. There are at least
hundred and fifty other kings" of the
same kind In the United States despite the
fact that we live in a republic.
Miss Tucker is quite a jolly cut-up. She
rolled her eyes when she sang and at times
appeared to be on the verge of bursting
into a coon song. But she compromised by
offering such ditties as "Oh, Papa" "Oh,
Johnny" i've Got the Blues Tin spot
lighD, There's Something About You
Makes Me Love YOU" etc, etc. In the
course Of one OF her songs Miss Tucker
says, 81 know my voice Is funny but It's
getting me the money" This idea was
funny about fifteen years ago.
There are many other good single acts in
vaudeville which would prove stronger
headliners than Miss Tucker.
1t Is true, however, that she took seven
or eight bows and two or three curtains
on the same quantity Of applause which
netted "RaGtime" Reilly, a singing sailor
of the L. S. S. Michigan, only three bows,
But In all fairness to Miss Tucker II
must be said she made hit with the audi
ei,ce and also received basket of flowers.
As for "Ragtime" Reilly, he caused Il
general fusillade with his character songs
and easy-going style. The applause which
greeted him was of the stormy" type.
With little more showmanship he
could have easily been the hit of the show.
The sailor was introduced by Chief Petty
officer Murray, Of the Philadelphia Navy
Yard, who incidentally spoke of the need
of recruits. officer Murray was introduced
by Bobby Heath. who, 1t is rumored, has
offered his services to the Government as
an aviator.
Decided merit marked the act of Spencer
Kelly and Marion Wilder, who were as
sisted in classy musical act by karla and
