Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-05-02

In the northern states it is an old
saying that you plant turnips the
18th of July, whether wet or dry"
While this is not literally true, it is
customary to plant turnips in July
and on land that has produced u
crop of early vegetables.
Turnips, however. may be grown
to perfection during the early
springtime, and throughout the
south they furnish one of the main
sources Of early green's, in addition
to the use of their roots. Fall-sown
turnips produce winter and early
spring greens throughout the south
ern states without any protection or
special cultivation.
Where they are planted in the
springtime the seeds are generally
sown in rows about II inches apart
and the plants thinned to about two
inches in the row, the Trimmings
being used as greens. For fall plant
ing the seed is generally sown
broadcast and slightly raked into
the soil.-United States Department
of Agriculture.

HAVE MORNING DRILL

Charlotte, N, c.. April Jack
Coombs is doing wonders with his new
hurlers. Jack knows quite little bit
about the fine points of pitching, picked
up during the seasons when he was
one of, the best righthanders In the
game. and he is fairly successful In
imparting his knowledge of how to throw
'em past the batter.
The Phls need hurlers, and Jack Is
going to get them somehow or bust a
gallus trying. AS fairly good start
he has succeeded in making a regular
hurler out of Frank Woodward.
Woody was with the team last year
during the training Jaunt, but needed
\ experience and sense, SO he was farmed
out to New Haven as good place TO
get some of both, probably because OF
its proximity to Yale.
Now Regular
He didn't stay there long, as the lure
of the deep blue and the chances of
getting a potshot at submarine In
y duced him to join the navy. Also Wood
liked fishing.
n Since he came here with the regular
squad he has been showing some real
hurting. While all the other twirlers
( have been holding back Woody shas been
Pile of days he has been cutting loose
with brand of fast ball that Is at

the ball tossers as well as the inhabit-

The college is strong for athletics
q and, as it is virtually impossible for
: them to, draw any kind of crowds, the
athletic association funds are as weak
in the knees as a spawned mule. Jack
played at Colby himself, and has a

its sports going, so he suggested that

Official figures reveal that more than
1.e00, 000, 900 pounds of coffee have
been boarded in the United States in
the last four years. This very thing
was predicted as far back as 1917 by
the American consul general at Rio de

then had an enormous harvest. and
with Europe closed by the war was at
