COME TO TERMS
WITH: n. \. CLUB
First Stacker and 0utfieIder

Remain Obdurate.
By HENRY L. FARRELL


NEW YORK, March with a few
more breaks in their favor the New
York Yankees may yet have a team
to enter in the 1924 American League
pennant race.
Two of the leading hold-outs re
turned to the fold when Wally Pipp,
skinny first baseman, and Witty
Witt, dumpy outf1elder, returned
signed contracts to the Yankee office.
As is the custom, the Yankee Office
did not announce the terms, nor did it
allow it to become known whether
Colonel Rupert had kept his word
that not one cent more than he Of
fered would be given to any Of his
help.
To Talk It Over
Er1n Ward, who held out last year
and who has been wanting more
!. money since he stepped out as about
One best second baseman in the
league, has been given permission to
draw upon the club for a ticket to
New Orleans to talk 1t over with
Manager Miller Higgins.
Bob Shawkey, veteran sailor, is an
other hoIdout who has been allowed
to break the rules by going to New
Orleans.
Sam Jones, Herb Pennock and Bob
Meusel have not signed their con-
tracts, although it is not certain that
Meusel is a holdout. According to his
brother, Emil. the Giant star. he has
been detained in California by illness
In the family.
Jones, Pennock Hold Out
Jones and Pennock are officially an
nounced holdouts- Pennock, who is
badly needed on the pitching staff, in
sists that he will raise foxes unless he
gets the money he thinks the only
southpaw on the team should get
The club has heard very little from
Sam Jones.

fish pease and a produce man tells us that there is big demand in the late fall. We are from the north and would like to know if we can succeed with a fall crop and the propert time to plant. Mrs. D. C., Woodward, Ala.
 A. It is possible and often quite profitable to grow a late fall crop of garden peas for market. English peas are essentially a cool weather plant and the cause of most failures is the planting when weather conditions are naturally dry and hot. Under normal conditions, most varieties produce in 40 to 50 days, hence one can plant as late as October in this climate, but Au- gust and September planting are rec commended, providing weather condition will permit.
 0. I have perhaps a hundred pump kins and cushows that the heat and drouth have matured that would like to keep. It is best to pull them now or leave in the field? Mrs. s., Anniston, Alabama.
 A. A longer period in the field would not likely injure, except there is always danger from worms or other borers. If the vines are dying, the ripe fruit better be removed and stored in as dry and cool place as can be provided. It is bad practice to pile them. They should be stored in such manner as not to touch each other. Remove all that show signs of worm holes and as often or when one shows decay.
 0. It is so dry and hot in my sec tion that nothing will grow at this period except cowpeas. I can get the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-27

o. I notice that in Kansas, Okla homa and Texas that great quantities of feterita, milo and kaffir corn are produced. Do you know how long it requires for maturity and is the crop cultivated? L. N, Camden, Ala.
 A. These plants and many others be- longing to the sorghum family are ex- tensively used in the dry sections of the west, where sufficient moisture for corn in uncertain. Some of these plants actually produce a crop of grain in 6 to weeks either broadcast or in drills and often without drop of rain. There is difficulty in getting the seed to ger minate in very dry weather, particularly on loose or sandy soils. Cultivation is desirable but most of the commercial seed receive no cultivation whatever.
 2. I am told that figs when packed in sugar without cooking will keep in definitely and may afterwards be cooked or preserved as wanted. Do you know this to be a fact? Mrs. R. s., Georgiana, Ala.
 A. believe the assertion correct providing the fruit so treated be fully ripe and free from any fungus disease and the containers be sealed in a man ner to exclude all outside influences.
 0. Will cannas bloom any longer if one cuts down the old bloom stalks after maturity? Miss E.
 A. They certainly will. If this is done and the plants are regularly worked and receive an abundance of water the bearing period can be pro- lcnged until winter.
 Q. We did well this spring with Eng

some agricultural school. Who should I write? M. w., Fayette. Ala.
 A. Inasmuch as you are near the A. and NJ. college, Mississippi, just send them an inquiry. Their course com mences July % and extends to Au- gust s.
 Q. I have the option of planting either velvet beans, soy beans or COW peas this month to be used either for hay or turning under. Which would you consider the most desirable and which stands hot dry weather the best M. B., Pinson, Ala.
 A. l am inclined to the opinion that this late in the season, the COW peas, being much earlier to mature, would prove the most profitable. As to dry hot conditions, the soy bean would prob ably fare the best, although it is rather late for both soy and velvet beans, which are slow growers in their early life. ef
 Q. Is this a good time to break LID sod ground that is to be put into cul- tivation another year or would the fall be better? P. B., Leeds, Ala.
 A. The quicker such ground is broken the better. At this period, if the job is well done, many grasses and weeds may be, destroyed before full maturity of seed. No, the sun won't hurt the upturned soil.
 .. Which would pay the best to plant now for feed, June corn or COW peas? e. C., Carbon Hill, Ala.
 A. Argument would favor the plant. ing of corn, but you could plant tbA corn to peas after the first blowing or even after laying by and the peas wouId add materially to the resulting cron mn matter what disposition was made

crab grass for the production of hay; B. J., Pelham, Ala. M
 A. The grass should certainly be cut when it begins to head out and before it is possible for seed to mature. The maturing of seed greatly impairs the value to say nothing of the danger of the spread of this pest through feeding mature seed to live stock.
 Q. What color should the Hadley rose be? The ones I set out last fall, now in bloom, don't seem to meet the catalogue description. Mrs. E. H., R. F. D. 3.
 A. Hadley is free monthly blooming red rose, producing long stems and very desirable for cutting. The color, under normal conditions, should be a deep velvetry crimson, but inasmuch as allA conditions greatly influence the shades of red roses, there are sometimes varia- tions, often puzzling, in colors that cannot be attributed to poor or impure stock

seed of the Crowder pea and write to know if this variety has time to produce crop of dry peas before frost. E. J., Winfield, Ala.
 A. There are many different types or varieties in Crowder peas, most of which are more or less bunch in char acter and quick to mature. Any sort will mature and should serve your pur- pose.
 Q. Does it hurt corn to pull the fod- der off the stalk or to cut out the tops just above the ear, all to be saved for forage? Will you advise the best plan L. F., Kennedy, Ala.
 A. The removal of the blades from corn does more or less injury to the re- sulting crop of grain. The same would apply to the cutting out of tops. Much, however would depend on the stage of growth or maturity of the individual plant thus affected. Sound judgment and common sense should be the de- termining factor.
 0. When is the proper time to cut
