COAST LEAGUE STARS
IN REMNANT BATTLE
Mitchell and Johnson Regarded
as Finished Players.
Must Travel In High to Maintain Rep.
utation Of a League Which Sent
Many Crack Infielders to
Major League Clubs.

In spite of the fact that the White
Sox scandal threw two former Coast
league shOrtstops into the discard, the
infielders Of that position who learned
their art on Coast league diamonds
are going to play big parts in the
American and National league pennant
races.
Two more shortstops are being con-
tributed by the Coast to the majors
this year.
They are Johnny Mitchell, the Yer
non Tigers infielder, who was the key
stone on defense for Vernon the
past three years, and Ernie johnson,
who pilOted the Salt Lake Bees last
season.
Neither player comes within the
terms Of yOungster. johnson was with
the Browns, and before that was a
member of the Feds. He jumped Los
Angeles to join the Feds and it was
in Los Angeles he really learned to
play the sport.
The pair going to the majors are re
garded as finished ball players.
They will have to travel in high to
uphold the reputation Of a league
which sent such star shortstops as Hol-
locher Terry, Bancroft, Peckinpaugh,
Olson, Ward, Risberg and Weaver to
the big show.
Terry was with Pittsburgh year be-
fore last and Barney Dreyfuss let him
go for the waiver price. The Cubs
grabbed him to play second, but when
HollOcher was out of the game the
former Angel was used at short.
Hollocher is a 300 hitter in the
majors and covers a world of terri
tory. Dave Bancroft at various times
has been touted as the best shortstop
in the National league. Another ex-
Portland man who plays short, or any
other place he is needed, is Ivan Oh
son.

BUSH VELVET BEAN FAVORED
Particularly Useful With Corn as II
Does Not Make Harvesting a
Difficult Problem.

Reports from 400 cooperators of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture who tested bush velvet bean in
1920 for the first time are highly
commendatory. Three-fourths Of
those reporting consider the bean a
market success, and over half of them
believe 1t to be superior to any other
variety, everything taken into con-
sideratlon. Two uses Of the bean
meet with particularly enthusiastic
praise. First, is its use in corn,
where its nontwining habit is very
desirable, as it does not pull the corn
down and make harvesting difficult,
as do the twining varieties. Second,
1t is found ideal as a cover and green
manure crop in citrus orchards, being
far superior for this purpose to any
other legume yet found. Its use
should considerably reduce the fer
tilizer bill for citrus orchards.

Best Kind Of Seed.
LATE CROP AFTER POTATOES
Corn Can Be Planted Between Rows
About Two Weeks Before Tubers
Are Harvested.

In most sections the early potatoes
can be followed by late crop Of sweet
corn planted between the rows Of po-
tatoes about two weeks before the
potatoes are dug. Late cabbage plants
can be set between the rows of Do
.tatOes, then the soil worked about the
cabbage plants when the potatoes are
dug. Turnlps can be grown broadcast
on the land after early potatoes. Late
potatoes, planted about June 1 to 90

sin, or some other special seed produc-
ing section will as a rule give best re-
suits. Seedsmen get the seed potatoes
shipped in by the carload and then
sell them to gardeners in small guam
titles. 1t takes about ten bushels (GO0
pounds) Of seed potatoes to plant an
acre. One bushel Of seed will plant
One-tenth Of an acre, which Is a space
43 feet wide by 100 feet long. A peck
Of seed potatoes 40 pounds) should
plant $50 feet of row, each potato be-
ing cut into chunky pieces having at
least one good eye to a piece.
Seed potatoes should not be cut un-
til all ready to plant. Whenever seed
potatoes are cut and allowed to stand,
the cut surfaces dry out, turn black
and the seed loses vitality very rap
idly. Scabby or diseased seed pota-
toes should not be used for planting.
The variety OF potatoes to plant will
depend largely upon locality. Irish
Cobbler is one Of the leading early va
rieties while Rural New Yorker, Early
Ohio, Triumph, Green Mountain, and
others are grown extensively. Plant
the variety most commonly grown In
the locality, but be sure that the seed
Is free from disease and is In good,
sound condition
FurroW System Economical.
A much simpler irrigation system
consists Of small burrows, made along
the rows Of plants, which are filed
with water. After the water has
soaked. into the soil the burrows
should be filed with dry soil. In or
der to irrigate by the furrow system
the land must be reasonably level or
slope gradually in one direction. Lit.
tie banks of earth can be put In the
furrow at intervals to hold the water
from flowing to the lower end, thus
distributing it to every part Of the
row.
DO not plant potatoes too deep,
-Four inches is about the proper depth.
Leave the surface almost level and
see that there are no clods, stones, or
pieces of sod directly over the hills.
potatoes are one of the first garden
crops to plant in the springtime, and
it is safe to put the seed in the ground
two or three weeks before the date
of the last heavy frost. In case there
is likely to be a freeze after the plants
come up, cover them with an inch or
two of loose earth to protect them.
They may be uncovered as soon as
the weather warns up or they come
up through the soil themselves.
