ALL-NoRWIcH TEAM
 TO PLAY SUB. BASE
Will Clash at FsIs Diamond Sunday Lineup to Be Announced Later.

Sunday afternoon the All-Norwich baseball team which consists of the best players that Norwich boasts of, will meet the fast team from the sub- marine base on the Falls diamond. This game will be the first of the sea- son for the Norwich boys although they have rounded into form through hard practice and the large crowd which is expected should see some high class ball playing.
 The base has a wonderful team this year, consisting largely of college players and couple of boys with big league experience.
 It is hoped that Norwich will show it's appreciation of this classy ball team by turning out in, large num-
 bers. The base team expect to get a real reception here, and it is up to the Norwich fans to give it to them. They have been trained and rounded into shape. by their athletic officer and the Norwich boys have a job on l their hands to de<aat them this year. Manager Callahan of the local team has secured the services of West Caulkins, last year with Quebec and Mcdonald. formerly with Trenton of i the Tri-State league.
 If the fans will stand back of this team the management will do all if
 can to bring the best teams in New England here and they are bound to ] see real baseball. Since the All Nor wich club has been organized they have not lost. game, closing the 1917
 season without a defeat

as the pods are we'll filled and while the peas are still green, yet before either the peas become hard or the pods whitish or yellowish. Peas should not be ogathered when 10 young and if too old will be of poor quality.
 Peppers may be gathered at any time until they begin to turn red. For some purposes they are allowed to ripen, but usually are picked green.
 Early potatoes may be used at any time during their growth. An old time rule is to begin digging them when they have reached the size of 8 hens egg. It is advisable to begin using them when they have reached this size. digging the supply from day to day as needed, allowing the bulk of the crop to grow until needed or untiluntil they mature. Late potatoes should be allowed to grow until the vines die or are killed by frost. Sweet potatoes are of poor quality unless allowed to reach maturity. The simplest test is to break one of the | potatoes. If drops of water collect on the broken surface the crop is not mature. This crop grows until frost kills the vines, but it is permissible to use them quite a while before the
 end of the season.
 Radishes may be used as soon as large enough. A common practice is
 to begin, thinning them as soon as large enough. They should all be used | while young and tender.
 SaIsify is grown and handled in the
 same way as parsnips and the same rules may be followed in its use. Summer Squashes are ready for use as soon as large enough. They, how ever, should not be picked when very small as when youngg they are wat cry and of poor quality. As soon as the shell hardens they are too old for
 table use.
 Winter sguashes should be allowed
 to grow until the vines die or until
 frost kills them, but the squashes
 should be stored before being frosted.
 Tomatoes should be picked when
 fully ripe, but should not be allowed
 to remain on the vines until soft. It
 is not a good practice to pick them
 while partly ripe, as the flavor is in 7 jured by this practice.
 Turnips for greens may be used as ' soon as the foliage is large enough to l justify picking: if for the roots, when } the roots are from 1 F to 2 inches in ) diameter When planted as late
 summer crop for roots for storage : they should be allowed to grow until lhard freezing occurs. Those from to inches in diameter are best. Larger ones may be used for stock feed.

 GETTING INTO SHAPE
Have Been Getting Stiff Workouts This Week-To Play ColIegians Later in Week.

Taking advantage of the warm wea- ther, Coach Tim Sullivan has been giving his men a stiff workout dur ing the past few days.

The campus has dried off pretty well and is now in good shape.
 The first squad is at present made up of Counihan c. Keenan, Campbell and HazZam D. BraZzil 1b. Mcknight 2b, Sayles 3b, Ringland ss, and Hull Meek. Brewer and Leathers in the outfield.

 | RADlsHE. D

The radish is quite hardy and may be grown throughout the winter in the middle section of the United States. In many portions of the South it is pos sible to grow it in the open ground throughout the, winter. For the home garden the seed should be sown in the open ground about the time of the last killing frosts. The seed should be sown in drills at a convenient distance for cultivation, usually about 19 inches. To be of good quality, radishes must be grown quickly in rich soil, and be used as soon as of sufficient size. Suc- cessive plantings should be made every few days until the weothSr becomes warm. They will not withstand hot weather and are suited to early spring and late autumn planting.
 There are autumn varieties of radi- shes which may be grown late in the season and stored for winter us the same as beets or turnips. A few of these will add variety to the winter supply of vegetables.-U. $. Depart ment of Agriculture.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Public Participation in Transactions
 Was at Low Ehb.

New York, April 2.-Transactions ca the stock exchange today amounted to only about 160 900 shares, the most insignificant total for a full session with one or two exceptions since the rid summer of 1916.
 At no time since this country's en- trance into the war was public par ticipation at such low ebb. This atti- tude was transmitted to the trading element, where the new tax ruling dealing with short sales imposed ad diticnal hazards.
 Lack of definite advices from across the water was perhaps the chief de terrent. but the undertone, aside from moderate heavinsss of investment rails. indicated no diminution of con- fitlence in the outcome of the German drive.
 Pressure against a few special stocks, such as Studebaker and kim dred issues resulted from recognized trade conditions and resultant doubt ful dividend prospects.

 For Work in Every Back Yard
United States Department of Agriculture

Such vegetables as leaf lettuce, kale, spinach, parsley. chard, turnip, Mus tard,. and any other used as a green or salad may be gathered as soon as large enough to pay for the gathering. It is an excellent plan to make prac- tice of thinning these crops and using the plants removed as greens or for other purposes. Chard must be used while young as it soon passes it's best stage. Kale should be used while rel atively young, as when young it is of much better quality than when allowed to become large. It is far better plan to make frequent successive plantings of the foliage crops so as to have a supply of tender, succulent greens or salad material continually available.
