AS A TRUCK GARDENER,
LOOT" PRATT FLIVVERS
Sergeant Burlingame Comments
With Superior Air on Chief Effort.

Acting Lieut. Henry C. Pratt. top
sleuth at police headquarters from 4
o'clock .. m. to midnight. is not a
success as a farmer. Extreme hard
luck has marked his efforts along
agricultural lines this season. Lieu
tenant Pratt has expended about 81
and uncounted hours OF energy on the
plot at the rear OF his home, 1874
Randolph place northwest. As yet
nothing has shown.
He might just as well have plant
ed 81 in quarters as to have sown
down the plot to vegetables" said
Detective Sergeant Burlingame.
EARLY in the season Lieutenant Pratt
invested $3.50 in garden tools. Good
ness knows how many books on the
subject he bought or how many hours
he spent digging in that back yard
Manure and other fertilizer cost him
$3.50, and he has spent $40 for seed.
He has planted about every kind
OF known vegetable in his back yard
farm, and so far nothing has shown
above the ground"
Discussion of Lieutenant Pratt's
garden followed a lengthy discourse
on the garden maintained at home by
Sergeant Burnley.
I've been eating rsdishes out OF
my garden for weeks" he said. Pm
some gardener. Pat O'Brien isn't in
IT with me when it comes to truck
farming"

RAIN STIMULATES
GROWING GARDENS
Weeds, However, Compete
With Vegetable Plants.
BACK-BREAKING WORK AHEAD
Ideal Time to Set Out Cabbage
Plants, Say the Experts.
BACK-BREAKING WORK AHEAD

Home gardens in and about Wash
ington are fiourishing.
The rain Tuesday night, followed
by the cool, sunshiny weather of yes
terday and today, have caused plant
life to grow by leaps and bounds.
According to H. NJ. Connolly, Depart
ment of Agriculture demonstration, in
charge OF home garden extension
work, conditions are ideal for a bum
per crop on the farms of local anna.
tours.
There is a considerable growth OF
weeds in many of the gardens" said
Mr.. Connolly, "but this is easily over
come The weeds may be pulled or a
little work with a rake will choke
them for the time being. 1t is a good
scheme to work the soil in order to
break up the earth cake which forms
following a storm"
Trimming Out Plants.
The weather, according to the ex-
pert, is ideal for setting out cabbage
plants. Judge Pugh, who has been
praying for rain for several days, set
out a number OF cabbage plants yes
terday afternoon. Most farmers in
and about the city spent yesterday
setting out cabbages and transplant
ing and thinning out beets and other
plants.
The back-breaking weed-pulling job
IL started now may be made easy, say
the gardeners. weed-pulling is like
everything elisa stitch in time
saves nine" Many persons in the city
have the idea that they must plant
all early vegetables and that IL they
wait for a while they will not get a
good crop.
This is not true. Late potatoes, to-
matoes. cabbage. and, indeed, nearly
all kinds Of vegetables, will do well.
They will come in the fall, and may
be used for canning or drying to good
advantage.
Recommend Beet Greens.
Many gardeners for the past week
have been eating lettuce and radishes
from their plots.
Beet tops make good green's" say
the farmers. "If you don't want to
eat them for green's, give the plants
pulled for thinning purposes to your
friends or neighbors. Many garden
ers are in need of the little plants to
set out in their plots"
