sweet potatoes may be grown by TAX
ing vine cuttings from those that have
been previously planted and inserting
these in ridges in place of rooted
plants. The sweet potatoes grown
from vine cuttings are usually free
from disease and are smooth and uni
form, making them very desirable for
winter storage.
In many sections peas can be plant
ed as late as September and will yield
a very nice crop before cold weather
sets in. For this purpose the early
or understanding sorts should be
used.
Can or Store Vegetables.
Large quantities of garden vegeta
bles are lost through want of suitable
means of taking care of the surplus
This can be done either by canning or
by storage, depending upon the kind
of vegetable to be cared for. The Sc
crpt of filling the pantry shelves with
canned goods is to can little every
day during the season when vegeta-
bles are plentiful in the garden. Stor-
age facilities either in the form of
special room in the cellar or suitable
outdoor storage pit should be provided.
In a few instances arrangements with
the local cold storage or ice factory for
the partitioning off of a small compart
ment in their ice storage room in which
vegetables that should be stored at a
temperature near the freezing point
may be kept. This class of storage is
especially desirable for apples and
Irish potatoes. Sweet potatoes should
always be stored in warm place and
given plenty of ventilation.
In planning the garden operations
for the balance of the season, it is we'll
to take into consideration all of the
above features. First. grow the kind
of vegetables that are needed for can
ming and storage; and, second. make
provision TO can or store all that are
not needed for immediate use.

To get the most out of the home
garden number Of crops, such as
snap beans, beets, lettuce, radiShes
and peas. should be planted ut inter
walls to insure continuous supply. In
the case of snap beans as many as five
paintings may be made in some sec
tons of the country. In the southern
part of the United States special at
tention should be given to the late
planting Of the semihardy crops for
late fall and winter use. These crops
include spinach. kale, cabbage. col
lards, turnips. lettuce and winter
onions. The late-planted crops gem

and beats for canning purposes should
be grown either very early in the sea-
son or quite late, in order to get the
finest quality of canned goods. A late
planted crop of snap beans often
yields an abundant supply of very
tender pods which are ready for can
ming just before the first frosts. These
usually make better quality of
canned product than do those grown
at a time when they mature during
the heated portion of the season.
Too much stress cannot be placed
upon the need for gardeners to pro-
duce Irish potatoes during the remain
der of the season. 1t is now time to
begin thinking about planting late
crop in sections where a late crop is
grown. In the southern part of the

planted in July or August. provided

ACTIVE CAMPAIGN ID HAVE BAPTIST HOSPITAL ERECTED
 HERE BEING WAGED
Civic Organizations, Physi- clans and Surgeons Are Working to Have Bir-
 mingham Made Lo-
 cation of Institution

Preparations to wage an active cam paign to secure the Baptist hospital for Birmingham are being made by the vari- ous committees of the civic organizations and the Jefferson County Medical So- ciety.
 Information about Birmingham and the district has been gathered and is being prepared as a. brief based on fifteen points of interest about Birmingham. These points are being developed by c. l.. Harold of the Civic Association. The first point is that Birmingham is the center of population of the state. The northern part of Alabama is more dense y inhabited than the southern part, making Birmingham the logical center to locate a statewide institution. Bir- mingham is also the center of the Bap- tist, population, there being within a two hours ride of the city Soo.o0o con- stituents of the Rantist Church.
 TRANSPORTATION
 Birmingham has transportation facili- ties unequaled in the state. The Magic City is on the main artery of traffic rom the north to the gulf and from the vest to the Atlantic ports.
 The medical and surgical resources in he city are not found anywhere else in he state. There are numbers of nurses  fred general physicians there are ninety six specialists in nearly every line of luman sickness.
 This is the only place in which the hospital would be self-supporting. There a distinct need for such an institu- sor. here as there is demand for more hospital space here.
 An additional advantage is that the -ity has no malaria or malara-carrying rp.. te~ h lesf H Mississippi, so that patients coming from hat state to get treatment could be ac- ,ommodated by the hospital here. Oth- ,rwise. they would be forced to go on 70 Memphis.
 Birmingham is the only town in Ala oama that can entertain the Southern Baptist Convention, which will probably want to see the finished work on the hospital they authorized to be built. Thousands of Baptist men and women tttend these conventions.
 SAVE COST
 Building material will be cheaper in Birmingham than in any other city, be- cause there will be no freight charge to be added to the cost, practically every needed article being manufactured in Birmingham. This is a big factor when freight costs run from 5 to 20 per cent of the total.
 Birmingham is the hub of the indus trial wheel of the south.
 These facts, enlarged in brief form md signed by the members of the com mittees, will be presented to the loca- ton commission of which Dr. J. R. Hobbs is chairman. The presentation of the brief will be at a meeting next week which will be arranged later.
 The committee has several lots in view for the proposed site. each oi which is available and desirable
 The location commission, consisting ot men from all parts of the state, will meet in Birmingham the night of July 26 and the tour of inspection will start soon after, Dr. Hobbs states.

GETTING VALUATION
 ON AUDITORIUM SITE
Make Several Appraisals Before
 Naming Price

Figures that are thought to represent fair appraisal of the property occu- pying the site of Brmingham's half mil- lion dollar auditorium was submitted to the site committee by the Real Estate Exchange at a meeting in the city hall yesterday
 The Real Estate Exchange was asked several days ago to investigate the pro- posed site and make an estimate as to the value of the buildings and land Until after the site has been purchased the figures arrived at as being fair to both the city and property owners will not be announced.
 Commissioner J. Ellis Brown stated that the city will detail an expert real estate agent to arrange with the prop erty owners for the transfer of the property to the city. The city can con- demn the property under the right of eminent domain. but this will only be resorted to in case of necessity.
 The northwest corner of Eighth ave- nue and Twentieth street was selected by the committee for the site of the proposed auditorium. The structure will face Woodrow Wilson Park. Several stone and frame houses occupy the site. which fronts 200 feet on Eighth avenue and 400 feet on Twentieth street
 As soon as the property can he pur- chased plans will be drawn, and bids will be asked for the construction of the building.

ENSLEY POOL ID
 OPEN AUGUST b S35,OO0 Bathing Plant We'll Along In Course of
 Construction

Birmingham new swimming pool and bath house will be ecompleted by August Is, according to present indications, Com missioner Brown announced yesterday.
 With the aid of workmen from che Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, the excavations for the twin pools have all ready been made The bottoms and sides are now being concreted and pipe line which will convey water to the pools is being laid.
 Plans are being made to erect the C- shaped building, which will partially en- close the pools and bathrooms. Every provision is made for the utility and ornamentation of the plant. Each pool will be 50x100 feet, with a provision for the lowering of dividing partition. No one can get into the pool without first pa assing a shower bath.
 The bath house is located on Avenue between Twenty-ninth and Thirtieth streets, Ensey. The Tennessee Com pany's donation of s25.0O0 toward the pool made it's installation possible.
 The erection and equpping of the bath resort will cost approximately $35.000. The site covers half block. When com pIeted. it is expected that it will prove one of the main attractions of the city in the summer amusement line.

1873 COAL OUTPUT SHOWING DECREASE Car Shortage, Labor Trou- ble and Early Short De-
 mand the Causes
Statement June 3oth, Is
 RESOURCES

Final report of Alabama coal produc- tion in 1919 has been compiled in the office of chief state mine inspector ana the data is ready for the printer.
 The official figures tally with the un- official estimate.
 The coal production in Alabama Tn 1919 was 15,92Sl96 tons compared With 19 521 S10 tons in 1918. This is a decrease for 1919 of 3,593,61S tons.
 The largest coal production ever at tained in Alabama was in 1917, when the output amounted to 20,4l3,S11 tons.
 The coal production of 1920 has thus far exceeded that of 1919, but has not attained the stride of 1918 or that of 1917.
 Production at present IS handicapped by strikes at some domestic mines and has been handicapped for months by cal shortage.
 The small production of 1919 was large ly due to lack of demand during the first half of the year incident to the dullness in iron and steel industries, the largest consumers of coal. The demand for coal has been brisk ali this year, but car shortage and labor delinquency have prevented fully supplying that de- mand
 The coal production by counties in 1919 and 1918 was as follows:
