Boston Man Wants to Come to "Jay
Peak Day."


The letter following from James p.
TAYLOR, secretary of the Greater YER
mont association, explains itself as
does the Goode letter. Here are the
letters:
Burlington, VT, May 4, 1922.
Mr.. Editor:
Here'is a man who wants to come
to the Jay Peak day. / sent him a
COPY of your editorial proposing a
Jay Peak day.
This man, Goode, is some man. He
is secretary of the Convention Bu-
reau of the Boston Chamber of Com
merce. He was back of the big win
ter sports promotion for New Eng
land this last winter. He is planning
to spend some time in Vermont TINS
summer. He can and will, if we help
him, give lot of publicity to Jay
neak and the other Vermont noun
tains.
I am enclosing a copy of the letter
from Denny B. Goode and hope that
YOU will read it with tears in your
eyes and a stir in your heart.
Yours very sincerely,
James P. Taylor.
Boston, Mass, May 3, 1922.
Mr.. James P. Taylor, Sec,
Greater Vermont Association,
Burlington, VT.
Dear jim:
Please do not write me any more
of the vacation allure of Vermont.
/ have already decided to spend two
weeks in Vermont this summer, and
as soon as / read your letter and ed-1
itorial about Jay Peak, you created
the impulse in me to spend half of |
my time up there. You had already |
made me want to spend weeks and
weeks around Smuggler's notch and
the other places about which you haveI
written, so I cannot stand the strain
of temptation. Write me something |
unpleasant about Vermont. Maybe
you will want me to leave Boston and
live up there. I am certainly going
to try to time my vacation to fit in
with Jay Peak day.
All of which reminds me that we
now have wonderfully interesting
channel of publicity, Current At
fairs" What do you think of writ
ing a thousand or fifteen hundred
words, not on the automobile high
ways or the other usual things, but
on the simple subject of foot trailing,
and send me two or three or four
good pictures to illustrate it? Dol
this at you leisure. as there is no hur-
ry, but / would like to have it for
early summer.
Cordially,
Denny B. Goode.

The majority Of home gardeners
have a hobby on some sort Of vege-

find popular favor with the small gar
den man.
While there are many who grow
any kind of tomatoes, not caring as to
the variety. there are others who seek
the best varieties for two purposes
slicing for table use and for canning.
There are some families that prefer
the medium-sized, smooth tomato,
while others desire the largest that
can be grown. The larger tomato is
suitable for slicing, but the house
wife complains that it is usually too
large for canning, so the medium
sized tomato seems to be more in the
Iimelight.
In either instance, a strong, healthy
plant is necessary if the best results
and early fruit are desired.

UMPlRES SOMETIMES
JOIN IN BONE PLAYS
Critic Relates Incident in Game
at Cincinnati.
Fly Ball Intentionally Muffed to Conn.,
plete Double Play Ruled as Be-
ing Held Momentarily and
Batter Declared Out.

One of the best little bone plays of
the season in the National league was
pulled In the game of October 1, be-
tween Reds and Cubs, according TO
the account of Jack Ryder, and as
has been the habit of National league
umpires last season the arbiters,
Quigley and Holmes, managed TO ger
in on it. This is what happened as
Ryder writes it:
There were Cubs on first and Sec
ond bases in the ninth inning, with
one man out, when Killefer lifted an
easy fly to center. Roush came in for
it, and it was so evident that he was
going to reach the ball that the run
ners Rugged their bases tightly.
Out of the corner of his eye Eddie
observed a chance for a double play
that would end the game in hurry,
so he Intentionally muffed the ball,
which fell at his feet. Picking it up
instantly he threw TO Larry Kopf who
was covering second base. Larry did
not make the play right, or as Roush
intended him TO do, or the play would
have gone through. Instead Of touch
ing Barber, who was standing on Sec
ond in a bewildered daZe, and then
stepping on the bag, Larry first step
ped on the bag, forcing Maisel. and
then touched Barber. But as soon as
he touched the bag with his foot the
force on Barber was relieved, and
therefore he was not out.
Thus the only man who was really
out was Maisel, who was forced at
second, but Umpire Quigley appeared
to be confused by the play. and he
finally wound up by calling Killifer
out at first instead of Maisel. When
pressed for a reason he said that
Roush had held the ball momentarily,
or long enough TO complete the out on
the batter. This was purely an alibi,
for Roush had muffed the ball dead,
and, If there had been no one on
base, Killifer would have been safe
as rain. The umpires consulted to-
gether and then allowed the incor-
rect decision to stand. 1t made no
difference, for the double play had
not gone through as intended. and
the side was soon retired anyway,
but it showed that even the umpires
should not be above a little quick
thinking at times.

A New York man tells of an excft-

bear was surrounded in a small cane
thicket. The dogs could not get him
out and the gentleman who was at
the head of the hunting party called
TO one Of the darkies:
Gus, go in there and get that bear
out"
Gus hesitated for a moment and
then plunged into the cane. A few
moments later the negro, the bear and
the dogs were rolling on the ground
outside. After the hunt was over the
man from the north said to the darby:
Gus, weren't you afraid 10 go into

smaller than healthy plants and have
a sickly appearance. These signs Of
disease on the young plants, however,
may not be noticed and still the trouble
may be present on the roots and de-
velop after the plants are set in the
garden.
To find out If diseases are present,
always examine the roots of young
plants before setting them out. If af-
fected by molds or fungi, dark dead
patches may be seen on the roots and
sometimes on the lower part of the
stems. Badly diseased seedlings have
their roots destroyed by the fungi or
their stems killed at the surface of the
ground so that they fall over. If at
tackled by the eelworm the roots are
enlarged or swollen and knot-like
places are formed.

Recently it has been learned by the
United States Department Of Agricul-

plants grown in such soil will usually
become diseased and die, or else will

fore learn how to recognize troubles Of
young plants and become familiar with
the method here described for prevent
ing them.
Before treating the soil it should be
placed in the box ready for seeding.
Make a few holes in the bottom of the
box for drainage. Pour on the boiling
water very slowly at the rate of two
gallons TO box of soil one foot square
and four inches deep and at once cover
with a newspaper to help hold the
heat for a longer time. After a few
days or whenever the soil has dried out
enough the seed may be planted.
Young plants grown in this treated
soil not only have white, sound roots,
but also have healthy, vigorous ap-
pearance above ground. Besides this,
seeds sprout better and the plants
grow much faster than those planted in
untreated soil

The dahlia has many double and
some single forms OF reds and vel
lows They are usually grown from
rootstocks. but they can be grown from
seed readily by those who have had a
little experience with plants. The
double-fowered varieties must be sown
as early as April for satisfactory

varieties may be sown as late as July
1. Dahlias must be grown where
frost cannot reach them, so In the
North it is necessary to start the dou-
