WHEN YOU TACKLE \
MAN DROP HIM HARD ENOUGH
THAT IIE WILL STAY D0wN
By WALTER CAMP

Most Famous Football Coach)
The essence OF tackling is to stop the
man. and stop him so that he cannot
wrlgglc out OF your grasp and gain
more ground. There Is not much use
nowadays as there was In the old days
of throwing him back, but it g. we'll
for a tackler 90 bring his man down
sharply and finally. and TO be with him
when he falls.
Many inexperienced players think 70
sufficient TO dive at the runner. and
knock him down. themselves failing
away. There is nothing 10 prevent a
man 50 tackled from getting up again.
10 is especially imperative TO be able
to drop a man in his tracks where there
is only short distance 10 Doe gained
for the first down. in the best tack
ling. The iackler has put his arms so
that me is going 10 grasp the man just
below the hips and around the thighs.
Ills shoulder has been forced i'm towards
the mans hips. bringing the head out
side. Some coaches crilicise linesmon
for tackllng high but oftenllmes il is
necessary as they have not tyne 10 get
down low.
The cardinal principle OF tackling,
however, is 10 tackle below the hips
and whenever a man has the time TO
do il, 10 is the only sure way. Men I'm
the middle Of thc line are the only
ones who can be excused FOR high tack
ling and then not too frequently.
DO not wait for the man 10 run into
your arms, but go after and meet him.
When you are stlll and waiting for him.
his momentum may be sufficient 10
knock you or your balance and make
you lose your grip. Secondly, he will
better be able 10 dodge YOU II he can
calculate the distance that YOU are
liable TO make your tackle from, than
if YOU are coming at him and shifting
the distance.
Never tackle head on. as 10 may re-
suit in "a broken neck. Always have the
head 90 one side. and one shoulder well

BUSINESS GROWS FROM
AMATEURS GARDEN.

Gardening has been my recreation
for many years. but with my brothers
growing interest and the discovery Of
the fascination as we'll as the valuable
garden results from raising seedlings
from the bearded iris it has become
an absorbing occupation and business
Of necessity if others are to benefit by
our work.
From a forty foot square Of mixed
perennials our show garden has grown,

lar site Of perhaps an acre. with iris
predominant, even where they might
not be expected to grow at all.
A long grayelly bank, overgrown
with trees. has become a rock garden,
where tulips and other bulbs rise
above carpets OF low growths. includ-
ing the smaller iris species. while to
the south beyond the Seeding beds is

garden full of interest until the last
iris is gone, but the beds Of iris seed

attraction for our garden visitors. Wis.,

the drill to receive the bulb twelve to
sixteen inches long, six inches deep
and about six inches wide. Lay the
bulb down fiat in the drill and then
apply the fertilizer all around the bulb
extending from four to five inches be-
yond it. If sheep manure is used ap-
ply a pint or a quart, according to the
needs of the soil.
Stable manure should be spread
broadcast and ploughed in before plant
ing, and set the stake in the ground
before covering. as that avoids pierre
ing any part Of the bulb. The stems
can be tied up to the stakes when the
plants are high enough.
For field planting make the dis
lance between every other row three
and five feet respectively, thus af-
fording a passageway on one side Of
each row after the plants become
large and fill the three foot space.
Two and a half to three feet apart in
the row is about right for this method
Of planting.
Do not plant near trees or shrubs,
and avoid the south side of a large
building, where the sun is hot and air
circulation poor, as the flowers will
burn before fully open.
For early flowers dahlias may be
planted any time after May !, or as
soon as danger Of frost has passed.
Dahlia clumps should be divided at
planting time in the spring. being
careful to leave at least one sprout on
each division. II the sprouts are long

bulb before planting.
Keep the ground we'll cultivated and
free from weeds. An application oil
some standard fertilizer raked into the
surface of the soil around the plant:
two or three times during the season
will help in the development OF flow
ers.
Never permit more than two stalks
to develop.
Watering is one of the most essen
tial things in producing perfect flow
ers. Ninety per Icent Of the failure:
| in growing dahlias is due to lack o.
water during the hot summer months
| The stalk of the dahlia is about al

nearly full of water.
AS soon as dahlias begin to flower
they absorb the moisture from the sol
for a distance of several feet. Usu'
ally when the buds begin to open Is
the important time to supply water.
One good method of supplying water
is to make a basin shaped mound oil
earth around the plant, about two
feet in diameter, and into this turn
three or four pals Of water every
three or four days. Fertilizer Is used
to obtain size, water to make richness
of color and perfection.

DAHLIA SUGGESTIONS.
By GEORGE l.. STILLMAN.

Light soil is best for dahlias; a
stony knoll on a hillside is ideal. Good
drainage is imperative. Heavy land
with clay subsoil should be lightened
with very liberal applications of coal
ashes or sand, turned under and well
mixed with the soil. The coarser the
coal ashes are the better. Spread the
ashes heavily and evenly over the sur
face and then turn them under.
The poorer the soil the more fertill-
ger it requires and the lighter the soil
the more water 1t needs. In the East
ern States especially dahlias require
fertilizing, light soils more than heavy.
1 find that sheep manure is best for
dahlias. and recommend 1t in prefer
ence to others. although stable manure
is good.
Plough or spade the ground for dahl

inches II the soil will permit 1t. Make

A WOMAN'S SUCCESSFUL GAR
DEN.

Three years ago 1 was transferred
from a prosperous, fat Ohio farm 10
an Eastern suburb with one lot for
vegetables. I looked at that lot with
sinking heart when 1 thought how
would have to cramp and condense my
lavish, wasteful ideas in order to have
something to eat! All that the patch
Of ground could possibly raise would
not be as much as was yearly throwA
away in the big home garden. And
failed completely. There was that year
no root cellar, no dried vegetables, no
surplus of any kind. Why, there were
not even enough radishes! OF course
things grew, as the soil was good and
the succession of planting was all
right, for these things were matter
Of course to one reared in the country,
but-there was a herb garden, long
row of sweet peas, martynias and
melon patch. 1t was all very we'll and
pretty, but it didn't fill the winter
storerooms. Next year I calculated
little more, eliminated a great deal and
did better. but the results were not
success.
My aim. WAS. te-k7vs Just about
everything that had on the Ohio
farm. and many things were missing.
All winter long / planned anew for
my miniature farm.
My experiment last summer was on
a larger lot, but the failure was tragic.
Carrots were the size of ones thumb,
potatoes were little larger than mar
bles, and such miniature beets mortal
never saw. This time 1t was the soil.
My Western mind simply had no COM
prehension of how poor some soil
could be. In fact I did not know there
was such soil anywhere outside the
Sahara. So to my chagrin in all the
canning rase Of the past season I had
nothing to can but a quart of spin
ach-I, a farmers daughter!
But things will be different next sea-
son. I've learned my lesson and I
expect a full larder next fall. With
my early experience in Ohio plus my
new knowledge of pests and impover-
ished soil ! feel equipped for my next
attempt. My garden Is planned once
more, and think my ideas may help
those similarly situated who 90 not
want to waste three seasons inelearn
ing things.
In the first place there is a good
layer Of stablemanure over my pro.
spective garden right. now. The Other

jelly, indeed. Even the cores and seeds
are not wasted as the chickens get
them. OF course 1 ought to have an
artistic hive Of bees near by to gather
the honey Of the blossoms; perhaps
sometime I will have.
This isn't day dream. I've tried
out at different times everything but
the goat and the marvellous potato
patch. Next year I shall combine my
past successes and have a f1ourishing
