One Of the chief factors that make
for failures In gardening Is the crowd.
ing Of plants. Every plant must have
a certain amount of food and moisture
to make the maximum growth but how
is it going to get it from the soil II
the competition from like plants, weeds
or grasses is demanding share of the
food, You can easily apply the same
doctrine to animal, insect. human or
any other form Of life. The average
family garden or backyard farm is nee
essarily limited and one Is often too
anxious to produce a quantity of stuff
on a small space and such efforts fire.
quently result in failure, due to over
crowding. A half dozen tomato plants
If given the proper distance will pro-
duce more and better fruit than dozen
will when conditions are crowded. The
same thing applies to flower culture
and the practice of too thick planting
is just as bad in the country on the
larger areas There is but little objec-
ton to thick seeding, because a good
stand is important to profitably en-
ploy all the land, but a thinning out
at the proper time, so as to allow each
plant itss rightful share of fopd, is
the important thing.
Don't Neglect The Backyard
Like poor relation the backyard is
nearly always lost sight of in the plant
ing season or in any scheme of beau
tifying the home; yet people live more

the darker sides. but there Is little ex-
cuse to allow the BACKYARD to become
the dumping ground for the family
garbage. Flowers and various plants
will succeed just as we'll or better in
the backyard as in the front and one
always derives more pleasure from 4
well kept back than a splendid front
Ask those who have improved thu
back premises. There are many ~sht
here in Birmingham and every other
city. A well kept backyard is good
indication Of the true lover of plants,
flowers etc, and will generally show
the real character of the dweiler. 1t
is yet time to plant many annual flow

both annual and perennials can be pur-
chased at dealers. Give the backyard
a chance.
Insects Injurious To Gardens
At this time Of the year complaints
reach The Age-Herald every day about
the devastation of various, insects, all
proving that it is practically impossi-
bic to succeed with any planting I'M

Investigation surrounding the circum-
stances Of Brewers release on bond and
subsequent escape which lost the
authorities q man wanted here for four
years, but admitted he expected little
TO come of this inquiry.
No Ono Man Guilty
~It looks like a badly mixed MP af-
fair" the chief said. "But l can't see
that anyone IL particularly guilty in the
case. Brewer never should have been
let out on $500 bond, which apparently
was through misunderstanding. We
hats to see q fellow with his record get
sway from US, especially so when we
have such a dead-set case against him. "
McDuff was particularly interested
in the arrest of Brewer since he had
an experience with him four years ago
at Dallas, Tex. Four years ago
Brewer was hunted for alleged impli-
cation in the robbery Of the home <of
Eugene Flies, 1103 Thirtieth street,
where approximately $1,000 worth of
jewelry was stolen. He was arrested
In Dallas, but when the police head ar
rived to take him into custody, Brew
er had extricated himself from Jail
through heabus corpus proceedings and
jumped his bond before preliminary
hearing. He is also said to be wanted
on other charges
Brewer was arrested here Wednesday
afternoon, when W. B. Helton and H.
O. Peveler, city detectives, caught him
In the home of J. W. johnson, 1115
Louise street, south.

His bond was set at $500 by W. r.
Watkins, warrant clerk, who declared
he understood this amount to be asked
By Peveler. The detective states he told
Watkins to set the bond at, $500.
Friday evening, r. d.. Montgomery.
local attorney, who had been retained
By Brewer AZ counsel, was called to the
county jail Brewer told him, be says,
ekat he had arranged to meet man
at Sixth avenue and Twenty-first street,
who would give him money for his at
torney fees.
For this purpose Montgomery signed
his bond and went with him to the To-
cation, telling him that they would re-
turn to the Jail as soon as the man ap-
peared.
r. e. Hunt, state law enforcement
officer, accompanied the pair, When
they arrived at the intersection, Brewer
jumped behind passing street car and
before Hunt could fire had lodged into
an alley and escaped.
Brewer, it developes, has been in Biz
mingham for some time before his ar
rest in the johnson case. At his rooms
were found considerable jewelry which
he was rapidly converting into cash.

affIrmatfvely. and NJ. e. Hughes and
j. Rush Matthews, from whom no re-
plies at all had been received.
A number Of members of the league
board expressed resentment at the let
ter of Mr. Copeland published recently,
IN which he attacked indirectly Mrs.

health as public health nurse.
