Angeles that you may have in mind
Q. I want to SOW on Bermuda
lawn some quick growing grass that
will be pretty and green as soon as
the frost turns the Bermuda brown.
What do you recommend? A. II.
A. The Italian rye grass would
doubtless suit better than any other
one grass. 1t is an annual and would
have to be sown every fall but it is
cold resistant. quick growing and al
most as pretty as blue grass. 1t will
take hold and soon establish itself
scwn right on top of Bermuda sod
but a dressing of good black soil
and some commercial fertilizer would
greatly aid matters
Q. have seen carpet grass so
highly recommended as a permanent
pasture for all animals that l am
going to try 1t. When do you plant
It, how much to the acre and is 1t
expensive? s. T., Camden.
A. Carpet grass is one plant that
deserves all the praise you see in
print. 1t is very much like Bermuda
except 1t makes no underground run
ners and is easily destroyed by simply
blowing up. The seed may be sown
on land without any preparations and
soon become established. 1t produces
dense mat OF very succulent foliage
and highly relished by all live stock.
Sow any time from October to Feb
ruary, 10 to 10 pounds seed to the
acre. Recleaned seed cost about so
cents per pound or less.
Q. My premises are infested with
plantain that ! am anxious to get rid
of. Do you know of a good method
to destroy? NJ. H., Ensley.
A. A good plan is to pierce each
plant with sharp stick or blade
of some kind or cut off the crown
and squirt a little carbolic acid into
the injury. A small oil can filled
with carbolic acid viii do the work
@. In planting cabbage seed now
to produce plants for setting in Feb
ruary would you fertiiize heavily?
b. NJ. Route 6.
A. 1t is not best to make soil very
rich because too much stimulant in
duees rank tender growth and the
plants more easily killed by sudden
and sharp freezes in January.
Q. 1 have grown the Chinese rose
winter radish which is a pink color
and l learn there is a white China.
Is this correct and is 1t as good as
the pink? Mrs. D., Palos.
A. There is a white variety, com
monty called celestial and a very fine
winter sort.
@. Is there any difference in
hardness of the several varieties of
kale? B. W., Cordova.
A. No. there is not enough diff

BY HUGH w. ROBERTS
Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald,

Washington, October 5.-(SpecialO
The President and Secretary Hoover
have been made aware of what Ala
bama coal operators deem the neces-
sity of inclusion on the coal fact
finding commission, soon to be named,
of man familiar with conditions
under which coal is produced in Ala

The operators contend that so diff

that it would be well nigh impossible
for any commission. unless aware OF
such differences. to make equitable
investigation within the short time
in which the commission will be re-
CURED to act.

moved by the representation of the
Alabama operators, is considering L.
H. Aldrich of Birmingham for ap-
pointment to the commission. Mr..
Aldrich is supported by Senator I'm

ignored.
The brief of the Alabama operators
filed with Secretary Hoover follows
in part:
Brief of Operators
"The conditions in the coal min
ing industry in Alabama are different
and present greater difficulties in
mining and mark citing than any other
district in the United States. There
are over 80 different seams of work,
able coal; practically all of which
are being worked TO some extent and
all of which present different mining
and working conditions and yaria-
tons in quality of product; some are
slopes some are shafts, and some
are drift mines. But on account Of
the geological disturbances and other
natural conditions it is not possible
to extend the workings for any con-
siderable distances from the main
hallageways as it is done in other
districts competitive with us.
Furthermore. we have to employ
many more day men in proportion to
the number of piece workers (pick
men or loaders) than is necessary in
other districts, the ratio being about
one day man for each coal digger or
coal loader The seams all have
rartings Some of them have several
to the seam and in many cases the
top slate comes down with the coal
or the bottom has to be taken UP
and becomes mixed with the coal TO
such an extent that it is necessary to
wash these impurities out at heavy
cost both in investment and opera
ton of washers. Even so, our best
coal when washed is hardly equal in
fuel value to the unwashed run OF
mine coal from other districts, with
which we have to compete and whose
coal is free from partings-large
level seams from which the coal can
be drifted out at small cost. Be-
cause of the conditions of the Ala
bama coal seams and the necessity
to prepare the coal in order to COM
pete at all in the market, over 30
per cent of all the coal washed in
the United States is washed in Ala
bama.
