CITIZENS TO SUPPORT

WASHINGTON, May 31-An appeal
to the American people for support of
the Near East Relief bundle day" on
Wednesday was made by Mrs. Hard
ing, wife of the president of the United
States. in a letter made public last
night by Mrs. Cabot Stevens, honor

the District of Columbia. The letter
follows:
ITO the American people:
From across the sea destitute
Christian and Jewish peoples in the
Bible country piteously cry to America
for the crumbs from our tables and
the old clothes from our closets.
Through no fault of their own these
ancient races, who were loyal to their
God and to the allied cause, find them
selves unable TO earn a living or re-
build their homes. All they possess
has been destroyed.
All Asked to Aid
"Throughout this great land of ours
has gone the o of the Near East
Relief and from our bounty every man,
woman and child is asked to share
spare clothing so that little helpless
children and hundreds of thousands
of men and women who are now des-
perately trying to cover naked bodies
with rags and burlap bags shall be
saved from death by exposure next
winter. Have we not all of us some
things we can spare or sacrifice?
Il have confidence that the chill
dren of America will share their toys,
games and dolls with the hundreds of
thousands of children who have for
gotten how to smile or play and if you
take your bundle to the nearest Near
East Relief clothing station on June /,
the Good Samaritan ship will carry aid
to the countless number who are in
dire need of our help"

The Home Garden

In the home garden, or when rails
ing tomatoes for the early market,
better results will be obtained if to-
mato plants are pruned and tied to
stakes rather than allowing them to
grow at will over the ground, accord
ing to Purdue university horticulture
lists.
Not only can more plants be set on
a given area, since they require less
room when tied up. but earlier, clean
er fruit will be produced, there is less
danger from disease. and sun scald
will be largely prevented through the
shading of the fruit by the upper
leaves.
Tomato plants to be staked may be
placed two and one-half feet apart in
rows three feet apart. This spacing
will allow plenty of room for cultiva-
ton.
Stakes should be at least six feet
long, sharpened on one end and firm
ly driven into the ground near the
base of each plant. In the home gar
den other forms of supports than
straight stakes may be used. A trel-
lis built of lath, barrel hoops fastened
on stakes, and square lath Enclosure
are forms commonly used and salts
factory. Prune out all suckers that
grow from the axis of the compound
leaves, leaving two or three stems.
These main stems should be tied to
the stakes every foot or so. that they
may be properly supported. Either
soft cord, raffia, or pieces of cloth
should be used, since firmer material
may injure the stems.
When the vines have grown to the
limit of the stakes, the tops may be
pinched off, thus throwing the
strength Of the plants to the develop
ment of the fruit alrea dy set.
Pruning of the suckers will be
necessary frequently throughout the
season, as we'll as the tying Of the
plants to stakes as they grow higher

Pig Iron Market quiet.

The local pig iron market is quiet and
has been so for about fortnight an1
the recent buying looks bigger than 1t
did at the time. The market on roun-
dry iron Is clearly defined at $21. VAL
ley. Not much has been sold at this
price, as 1t represents an advance
brought on in the recent buying move
ment.
Bessemer iron remains at $50, Valley.
where 1t has stood since the end of July.
The last sale Of any consequence was
1000 TONS two or three weeks ago.
There are occasional Gales of carloads to
100 tons.
Basic iron is not SO well defined in
price, by reason of there being several
steel works interests that might or
might not sell. Generally speaking the
basic market is quotable at s1s to $40.
Valley few lots appear to have been
sold recently at about $19.25.
There seems to be some spot or
prompt coke available at ss.25. II fair
sized tonnage Is taken, but higher prices
are occasionally quoted on small lots for
miscellaneous customers, UP to $3.40, or
perhaps $3.50, AS to contract coke.
some was sold recently for fourth quar-
ter. the usual asking price being $3.50.
Makers OF cold-drawn steel bars are
encouraged because some customers are
entering the market after an absence OF
many months The specifications are
limited as to tonnages, however, and
come mainly from domestic appliance
manufacturers, such as makers of sew
ing machines. washing machines, etc.
Virtually no large tonnages are In pros
pect, all inquiries calling for small lots
for immediate needs. The usual price
Is 2.40c., Pittsburgh.
More inquiries are out for semi-fin-
ished material. mainly sheet bars and
rolling billets. These are by no means
large as yet, running from so to 300
tons. A sale Of 200 tons Of forging bill
let's is reported to have been made this
week at S35. base Pittsburgh. but In
other cases the usual SIS differential for
some forging quality has been halved,
and a price of $3.50. base Pittsburgh,
has applied. A steel company near Pitts
burgh recently entered the market for
200 tons of slabs. No demand exists
for wire rods at the new price of SAL.
base Pittsburgh, which Is not unexpect-
ed, as none was moved at the $38 level.
Skelp finds no takers at 1.75c.. al
though some makers still are quoting
higher figures.
Several inquiries Of from SO to 800
tons Of plates are before producers.
Prices arotnd 1.60c. and 1.65c apply on
the going business. A few OF the tank
makers come into the market from time
