ASPARAGUS BEDS.
II Well Made Will Last Twenty Years
or More.

II Well Made Will Last Twenty Years
Asparagus beds can be made IN the
autumn, but beds made in the spring
are likely to do best. though the bed
should be prepared in the autumn and
the planting done in the spring.
Asparagus beds properly made last a
long time. Therefore it Is advisable
to spare no effort in doing the work
thoroughly. To have q good bed thor
ough preparation is necessary. well
made bed will last twenty years or
more.
Asparagus can be grown In almost
any soil, but prefers sandy or gray
ely loan that has been deeply plowed
or spaded and heavily MANFRED.
II the bed is for the home garden
trench at least two feet deep, and
three is better, working In plenty OF
barnyard manure. 1t is almost impos-
sible to use too much, so do not spare
the fertilizer.
For small gardens the rows should
be three and one-haf to four feet
apart and the plants two feet apart IN
the rows. For field culture have the
rows Eve feet apart. to permit of cul-
tivation by horse.
Use one-year-old seedlings. Dig or
plow out the burrows eight inches
deep, spread out the roots of each
plant and only cover them with soil.
Fill in with soil from time to time as
the plants grow until the ground is
level. If the roots are heavily GOV.
cred when first planted large portion
will not grow. @.s.-s
Keep the plants well cultivated the
entire summer and give them winter
mulch Of manure. In spring give q
top dressing of salt and commercial
fertilizer.
II desired the first season a crop o.
lettuce, beans, beets, carrots or rad
ishes may be grown between the rows
but only the first season.
Set the plants as soon as possible II

Hopes to Win the Psnnant.

club Is concerned. Outlining his man
agerial plans today, this Is what he
says:
at is my intention to keep the club
intanct- I think we have one Of the
greatest lighting machines IN the
league, and it's hard to see Just how
we could improve II, at all. We came
Through on two successive years with
the strongest OF opposition, and 1
think we can repeat II things 60 right
for Us.
"of course, there il this TO reunen,-
Der. The Eastern clubs in the league
are apt to be a trifie better this year
than they were last Especially is
this true OF the Yankees, which don't
seem destined to have ali the bad
luck they had last season. The West
ern clubs won't be a bit weaker, and.
In my opinion. it's going to be another
slam-bang race from start to finish.
And the Red Sox win be In IL all the
way.
'It is my intention to have Heinie
Wagner back to act with me as he
did with Bill Carrigan. I consider
Heinie one of the brainiest men In
baseball today. and he most certainly
will be included in the club under my
management"
Barry favors a longer training sea
son than the club had last year
1--WE were pretty lucky last year" he
said. THE main party did not arrive
at Hot Springs till March 10, and
though we were there but a short
while, we managed to get into good
shape, because we had only one rainy
day II is not safe, however, to gam

GOLF FL0URISHES
Million Rounds Are Played In One
Year Around Chicago.

According to figures Issued by Chi
cago's park commissioners, $4,000
rounds Of golf\wer played over the
public links of that city during 1916,
900, 900 of which were played over the
celebrated Jackson and Marquette
courses. As Chicago has an unusual
number OF private and semipubllc
golf courses. 1t is estimated that more
than a million rounds were played in
the Windy City and suburbs during
1916.
Could a more convincing argument
be given to show the wonderful popu-
larity and rapid strides OF the ancient
game in recent years? Only a few
years ago it would have been impos-
sible to ind 1000 persons in this
country interested in golf, but now
there are 900 courses.

With Western practically elimina

ball possibilities are concerned, Tech
will set sail for the title and Central

quered Central last week.
Tech won a 33-to-20 game from
Western yesterday at the "Y," and
demonstrated faster floor work than
Business, q winner over Western Fri
day. The passing OF the Tech players
appeared to be equally as good as
that of Business, and their accuracy
on baskets was on a par with the
Business five.

comparison of Tech and Business. The
Manual Trainers have a highly de-
