Questions and Answers

c. Among my bulbs that l want to plant out doors this month are some fine gladioli that | would like to plant at the same time Do you think there is danger of their com ing up soon enough to get killed? Mrs. O.. Tuscumbia. Ala
 A. Generally speaking, gladioli should not be planted before late winter or early spring, but I have planted around December l. and by setting at least six inches deep. I don't think they would come up early enough to get killed
 .. I am having my lawn made over and it's necessary to move some young roses set out last spring that are now blooming. Do you think it can be done without losing them? Mrs. w. H.. Gadsden, Ala.
 A It would be better if you could wait for more seasonab1e and cooler weather, but if you will cut them back rather severely. take up care fully and reset promptly, there is hut little if any danger of losing them.
 Q. What grasses and clovers sue ceed best, where the soil contains no lime and is slightly acid? R. N. D.. Fairfield, Ala.
 A. Red top or heard's grass is more tolerant than any of the cultivated grasses. but orchard grass does fairly we'll White and alsike clover will probably be better suited -than any others. A combination of all these would be desirable.
 Q. I am too feeble to look after outdoor plants. but would like to grow bulbs in pots in the house. How would you manage to have them blooming all winter and spring at intervals and not all in bloom at the same time? Mrs. C., Montgomery, Ala
 A. Ton can pot all your bulbs such as hyacinthsf narcissus, tulips, jonauils and croeus at the same time: then bury the pots out in the open ground. just even with the soil sur face or a little under. let them all remain for about six weeks, and then begin to bring few in the house al intervals, leaving the balance to follow at later periods. The early Towering. such as paper white mar cissus. and other bunch Towering. including Roman hyacinths, should be brought in first.
 Q. My sweet peas planted in tranches two or three weeks ago are up and growing fast. I have kept them watered, and want to know now what sort of fertilizer should be use in filling in around the plants; Miss c.
 4. Stop all watering as they must not be pushed now. Better not use any fertilizer Gradually fill in

GROW MORE FRUITS

Fruits both large and small, are the real desirable perennials of the kitchen garden. They can be made big factor In reducing the high cost of living as well as the doctor bils. Your own physician will tell you that fruit is necessary for healthful diet and one of the big factors in a- well balanced ration fer the old and young.
 Like other foods though, to be wholesome, they should be fresh and crisp; and how else can you procure if you don't produce? A sur prising let of people never expc- rienced the joy of piucking ripe fruit from a living plant and cannot ap- preciate the superiority such fruit possesses over that picked over at the fruit stands, gathered mostly when unripe. real flavor gone and don't contain that life-giving quality So necessary for quick assimilation.
 The time is fast appre aching when all fruits should be planted. The sensible thing to do is to make up your mind now and place your order tc be delivered later, for just what you want. The growing of fruits is a simple thing. The big factor is protecting from insect enemies and ifN Cnly sane prevention measures are employci, nature will repay hand some returns on the investment. Most fruit trees are entitled to oc- cupy 8 place around our homes if for nothing else but their handsome bloom, an ever faithful reminder of the arrival of spring.
 TREATING DISEASED SOIL
 Nearly every day complaints reach The Age-Herald about vegetable plants. Towering plants and even shruhbery, dying in their beds with out any noticeable attack of in- sects or disease on the foliage. A bed of lettuce or other young plants will lock well today and in just a few days will droop and often dis appear altogether.
 It is net always easy to determine from symptoms just what the trou- ble is, but it is known that many such troubles are due to bacterial disease ard both microscopical and other insects. Soil treatment to de- stroy these destructive agents has become a serIous matter to anyone attempting to grow things. Insect and disease troubles have multiplied to the extent that it becomes neces- sary 10 fight both the seen and un- seen enemy Nematodes, so destruc- tive to tomatoes and other plants, causing root knot. wilt, blight. etc, can cnly be reached by soil treat ment
 The best and cheapest remedy found thus far is formaldehyde. The commercial product is reduced with water to the strength of one pint of formaldehyde to l2 1-2 gallons of water, The ground two or three weeks before planting, is soaked with this solution. This material is cheap when bought in quantity and as splendid results are being report cd, the practice ought to come into general use. Parties who expect tc grow plants for another season ought tc insure their customers with plants free from any infection.

ISLANDERS and
ALEDOANS MEET
IN TRACK TEST
Locals to Take 20 Men to Mercer
County Seat for Contest;
Practice Hard.
BY ART WILLIAMS.

After a weeks dickering, Man
ager ]. r. Clark has everything ar
ranged for the Rock Island high
school track team to go to Aledo
Saturday afternoon to meet the
Mercer county lads in a track test.
The Crimson and Gold boys will
probably make the journey by au-
to.
The contest in Aledo is scheduled
to begin at 2 O'Clock and it is ex-
pected that about 20 track men
will represent the locals. The en-
tries will be about the same as
those submitted for participation
in the Big Eight contest to be held
in Browning field, Moline, Satur-
day afternoon, May 6.
Manager Clark thought at first
that it might be possible to bring
the Aledoans to Rock Island Sat
urday but arrangements to hold the
meet in that city were satisfactory
to both squads and the decision
was made. Rock Island would
have had no place to hold the
events here anyway and would
have had to take the Mercer county
lads to Browning field in Moline.
Work Lads Hard.
Coach Kimmel has been pushing
the lads through some real prac-
tices since school started and the
lads will be in fair condition by the
time that they meet the Aledoans.
This contest, Coach Kimmel be-
lieves, will give his charges plenty
of good practice and training for
the Big Eight event. The locals
stand a good chance in the Big
Eight event this year, especially as
far as the tri-city competition is
concerned. Rock Island should
easily be on an equal with Daven-
port and the local boys bested the
Moline athletes in the indoor meet
at Augustana when the Davenport
ers failed to compete.

GREB WILLING,
NEXT MOVE UP
TO G.. TUNNEY
Money Question APP
pears Only Thing
in Way.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, N. Y, April 28.-Now
that Harry Greb's manager has
signed up for his fighter to meet
Gene Tunney in the Garden on May
26, 1t is up to the light heavy
weight champions impressario,
Frank Bagley. II looks as though
Bagley was perfectly satisfied TO
let his man go against Harry pro-
vided the money end is all right.
The chances are that Matchmaker
Flourney will be able to satisfy the
Tunney crowd on the basis of a
guarantee with an option OF taking
a percentage of the gross receipts.
In the meantime a line on Bag
ley's managerial genius is made
evident by his turning down OF
Canton, Ohio, offer to match Tun-
ney against Billy Miske. Bagleys
reason was that his man is light
heavyweight and that he is not 60
ing to stack him against $50 and
100 Founders. Physical trainers
will tell you that over ITO pounds
weight means hardly anything as
compared to what the advantage of
avoirdupois means in the lighter
classes. But Doc Bagley doesn't
have to go to trainer to be told
how to run fighter.
Miske, by the way, has come
back in a most marvellous fash
ion. After an original start in
which he gave great promise-he
stuck the route with Jack Demp-
sey-he became i'll and was setup
for Dempsey two years ago at
Michigan City. But in the past
year he has put on a lot OF weight
and gained strength, so that now.
although few seem to realize 1t, he
is about ready to prove his right 20
rank next to the champion of the
world.
That every state is not closed to
Johnny Wilson was made clear to-
day when announcement was made
that the middleweight cheese had
signed to meet some good middle
weight in Denver on May 5. An
open air bout in Philadelphia also
lies ahead of Wilson.

The Anderson Athletic club will

Higgins of Davenport, feather

the Hawkeye state. A six-rouEd
semi-windup and two four-round
bouts will support the show.
In Higgins and Plude the fans
will be treated tosa fast exhibition.
Both boys are clever wielders Of
the padded mitts and know many
angles of the game which are
strange to ordinary boxers. They
demonstrated this in their engage

several weeks ago, in a bout which
was fought on practically even

While other cities of the Missis-
sippi Valley league are selling
tickets for opening day festivities
at 81 a throw by means of inten-
sive campaigns, Rock Island has
placed its price at IS cents, re-
duction of 25 cents from the price
established by custom. No tickets
for the Monday afternoon program
at Douglas park are being sold III
advance, but it is anticipated that
Rock Island fans will not be found
lacking in numbers when the jumps
calls time.
The 75-cent charge is for gate
admission. Usual prices will pre-
vail for grandstand and box seats.
Mondays opening day contest be-
tween the Islanders and Dubuque
will be called promptly at o'clock
And that will continue to be the
starting time each day until Old
Sol rises high enough in the heav-
ems to warrant starting at $3.50
o'clock on week days. Always
though, the o'clock time will pre-
vail on Saturdays and Sundays.
Cold wind sweeping in from the
north seriously affected the enthu-
siasm of the Islanders yesterday,
but Manager Councilman kept them
hard at fielding and batting prac-
tice until we'll along in the after
noon. Then he finished off the
day with a run around the field and
a couple of 100-yard dashes.
The cold is particularly hard on
the pitchers. Twirling arms are
mighty delicate affairs. Few pitch
ers are at their best except under
favorable weather conditions. Won
Goethem, who shows a world of
promise, has been striving diligent-
lly to relieve himself of a knot in
his throwing arm the last couple
of days.
Johnny Belz, first baseman, who
was to have come on from his home
in Chicago yesterday afternoon,
notified Manager Councilman that he
could not leave for Rock Island be-
fore Sunday night or Monday This
is due to the fact that he has agreed

fans have been clamOring to see
Schlaifer against someone of his
own type, and this is just what
they may expect to witness when
Cowboy Padgett steps forth at the
sound of the gong.
Padgett and Schlaifer have met
before In January they clashed
in a Denver ring and the referees
decision went against the Omaha
mauler. Since then Morrie has
been anxious for another crack at
the westerner.
Padgett has fought 102 battles
during his ring career, 80 of which
he won by knockouts. 1t will be
his first appearance in this part Of
the country, but out in the Rocky
Mountain states and along the Pa
cific coast he is as well known asI
Jack Dempsey.

Davenport. Expectations are that
the fans will again pack themselves
in the spacious Coliseum.

pated in a game between the Sim

himself to a bingle.
Waterloo has adopted the name
of Black Hawks. The fan who
submitted this in the contest to
provide the club with a suitable
name, was awarded a pass to all
Waterloo's at home games The
name is held to be appropriate in
view of the fact that Waterloo is
situated in Black Hawk county and
because the memory of the old In
dian warrior is linked up with the
history of that part of Iowa The
title ought to satisfy the scribes of
the circuit. 1t is easy to carry in

Waterloo at one time was known
as the 'Cedars" and later the

favor of the new term.

realize that he must get busy on
the trail of some matches for the
Rock Island fighter
In Chicago paper of today, con-
siderable ink is spilled anent Dicks
efforts to induce Johnny Kilbane to
stake his title against Mike. Dick
is quoted as saying he has backing
to the extent of $4,000 to offer
Kilbane for a decision bout with
Mike.
Well. Mike has been idle since
his bout in Rock Island Dec. 2,
with Gene Watson. We are in
clined to feel that Mike would be
more interested in learning that
Dick has him signed up for one or
two less important bouts in the
near future. Mike is not the kind
that enjoys idleness from ring pur-
suits.
