gold? l have hollyhocks in a box that have developed three or four leaves. When would you plant in their permanent place? R. II. C.. Fairfield.
 A. Make cuttings of chrysanthe- nuns right away and root them in wet sand in boxes. When well rooted transplant to pots, boxes or beds where some protection can be given. The cosmos now in bloom of a rich golden or orange color is no doubt the Klondike, a very desirable late Towering sort. Not knowing the type Of hollyhock you have l could not be positive, but if seedlings I would transplant to pots, other boxes or frames, so they could have some pro- tection from severe freezes that would injure the young plants. Such plants grown cold and slowly will make fine ones to set i'll open the coming spring.
 Q. Which varieties of onion sets. set out now, will stand the winter best? J. M. H., Oakman.
 A. There is very little choice be- tween the two standard available sorts. white silverskin and yellow danvers. Neither variety gets killed during our winters.
 Q. Is there such a thing as a pink buddleia or butterfly bush? I have been told so but never saw it listed. Miss D.
 A. Yes, there is a pink, claimed to be new, and is certainly very rare so far. I have never seen 1t but un- derstand 1t has all the merits of the lavender and If this is so, seyery body ought to strive for one.
 Q. Should muscadine grapes be pruned. and when is the proper time? M. M, Anniston.
 A. They certainly should, and the best time is generally just after the leaves have fallen. but the plant is often prunsd in summer without any Ill effects.
 Q. Will the pear known as the Chinese sand pear grow in this lo- c&ty2 w. J., Guntersville.
 A. I don't think so. as 1t is pri- marily variety for further south, in Florida and near the gulf coast. The Keller is somewhat similar and would succeed well.
 Q. What is the most reliable white grape for Alabama? T. M., Bessemer.
 A. The Niagra, while not white. but more of greenish yellow. is well suited, a strong grower, flesh sweet and of splendid quality
 o. What is the best fertilizer to apply to lawns now? S. c.
 A. If it Is a new lawn. just being prepared for planting. heavy> fertil- izing Is recommended. We'll routed animal manure. cotton seed meal and complete commercial fertilizer would all be beneficial. For established lawns and where winter grasses arc being sown on Bermuda. no highly stimulating fertilizers should be used as Bermuda does not need fertilizer at this time of the year. Bone meal

 Preliminary reports by House can didates show that about 200 spent nothing in the general election fight.
 The list includes those without op- position next week, although most of them previously had reported more or less expense in the primary. House officials familiar with congressional fights have found that in some in- stances mans principal expense Is reported after the electfen.
 Not Tip Hand
 He still may keep well within the law and not tip his hand prior to the voting" an official explained. eMoreover, the biggest cost is in the last few days of the campaign and on election day"

Is desirable now. Later say Febru- ary, stimulating top dressing can be given which would help Bermuda greatly as well as any winter grasses that might be present. A light coat ing of rich soil is fine treatment at this period.
 c. Do you think It is getting too late now to set out bulbs? Mrs. N., Ensley.
 A. After a good soaking rain and much cooler weather will be just the right time to begin planting tu- lips, narcissus and hyacinths in tie open ground. The weather has been so hot that many bulbs planted shall low month ago will more than likely never bloom at all.
 e. l have room for only one vari- ety of strawberries. Which on would you plant? Mrs. E., Attalla
 A. The Klondike. There may be others just as good or better, but this is always satisfactory.

able? How should abelia grandiflora be set out and cultivated? Mrs. M, Collinsville.
 A. See leading article about figs. Abelia grandiflora being an ever green shrub should be set out in De- cember, January or February. much the same as you woud a rose, only there should be little more well decomposed animal manure and good rich black dirt worked into the loca- tion. Very little cultivation is needed but light mulch round about the plant is of great help. They may be grown as specimen plants. trimmed to suit, or can be made to form a compact hedge.
 Q. In spring of 1920 I planted FL berta peaches and this year the fruit produced routed at the center. One tree has grown thrifty but has borne no fruit and I thought of cut ting down. Please advise me the best thing to do. Mrs. F. M. C., Fairfield.
 A. A number of diseases and in- sects could be responsible for the rot and the only safe plan to grow peaches su lessfully is to adopt and carry out a well defined program of spraying. Such a program will be published In these columns several times later on. I would not destroy the young barren tree just yet. but give 1t one more chance to make good. Pruning might help it. You might set out another one near 1t. so If you have to destroy you will have one to take it's place.

Cultivation of Figs
 It seems that the people of Ala bana are just beginning to wake up to the possibilities of fig culture. This Is partly due. no doubt, to the splendid crop this year, regardless of any considerable amount of atten- tion on the part of the grower. It is the general plan to stick out fig where you don't want anything else and then abandon them to providence, yet you complain the plant Is too uncertain to occupy any place around the home. Few plants respond so readily to proper treatment. Figs do we'll on stiff soils and seem to pre- fer good clay subsoil near the sur face. In this climate they may be set out from December to February They should be no closer than l2 feet apart and after established should be annually pruned so as to prevent dense growth, thus letting in the light to all branches, very neces- sary for fruit development and quick ripening. The big factor Is mulch ing the ground round about to con- serve moisture through capillary at traction and promote free circula- tion of air to their shallow growing roots. Shallow cultivation is needed to keep the ground surface in a po- rus condition. Highly stimulating manures must be avoided. We'll de- composed COW manure and a little acid phosphate Is of great help and so Is leaf mold. Black and green Ischia, lemon. celeste, and brown turkey are reliable sorts but there are many other good ones.

LEFT PROMISE TO PAY,
1 -------
But That Did Not Satisfy Men Who
Had Lost Various Articles.

Leaving a note to say that he would
pay for what he took did not prevent
the arrest Of Gordon Flood OF Burling-
ton in his home town yesterday when
it was found that he had "eIopcd with
goods belonging to two other Young
men in this city.
Flood, who recently came here to be
employed by granite company,
roomed in the Central house, WITH two
companions, Albert Worthen and How
ard Anderson, from whom he took a
sheepskin coat and a yalise, which
caused local officers to notify Chief
Russell Of Burlington to hold him.
Flood had been working only short
time and was evidently dissatisfied.
Wednesday morning, after his compan-
ions had gone to their duties, he en-
tered the room occupied by them and
after helping himself to what he want
ed he wrote note saying that he had
obtained job in Springfield hotel
and that he would pay for what he had
taken as soon as possible.
This however, was not satisfactory
to his neighbors who wanted their prop
erty rather than his promise, so the
chief Of police was called into the case
with the result that he notified Chief
p. G. Russell Of Burlington who yester-
day took Flood into custody to await
the arrival Of Officer Gamble from the
local station to-day. Il is expected that
he viii be brought into court here to-
morrow on charge of theft.

mont for rest and medical treatment.
The pistol with which he commit
ted suicide had been in the house for
long time, but was under lock and
key. He discovered il in some way
and the one fatal shot from il caused

past help when discovered in his room
after the deed was done. The shot
penetrated the temple.
The tragedy was great shock to
his relatives. as he had never given
any intimation that he contemplated
any such course. His brother, DIR.

deed in a ft of temporary insanity
brought on by in health and worry
over business matters.
