Blemished Skin
Clears Up Quickly

Sunshine and wind are not always
so kind to us. When dainty COM
plexions and hands are exposed to
their burning and roughening effect,
they become freckled, tanned or dis
colored; usually in spots.
A minutes care will whiten the
skin again. Simply squeeze the juice
of two lemons into a three-ounce
bottle of Orchard White, which you
can get from your nearest store. and
massage the complexion and hands
with this lotion.
You will be delighted with the way
it clears your, skin and revives its
youthful charm.

THE PURPLE RASP-
BERRY.

Purple raspberries have an inter
esting history. When first found by
botanists they were believed to be a
distinct species and were named as
such. Later it was found that purple
raspherries were hybrids between the
black and the red raspberries and
could be produced at will. Like many
other hybrid plants and animals, the
purple raspberry is much more vigor-
Gus than either of its parents. The
plant is larger and often the berries
are larger. Many people do not like
the flavor Of the purple berries as well
as that of the reds or the blacks, but
it seems to he more q question of per-
sonal taste than any actual disqualiti-
cation. For canning, the purple va
rieties are even better than the reds
or blacks.
The quantity of berries that may
he gathered in one season from one
large, vigorous bush Of purple raSp-
berries is often astounding. Unfor-
tunately, there are 50 many diseases
that one does not often find real Wig
orous plants growing in this locality.
The Columbian, an old and favored
variety in this group, under good con-
ditions produces canes 10 to IL feet in
length. Purple raspberries deserve a
trial in all small fruit gardens, and
when once fully known will be appre-
Ciated for their full worth.

next year. II the tree has reached
| bearing age, part of the leaf buds turn
at this season into flower buds, unless
the trees have been weakened by
overproduction the previous year or
by the loss Of leaves from disease or
insect ravages. The laying down of
flower parts in the leaf bud Is a curl
Gus phenomenon which has occupied
the interest OF horticulturists for
many years and which is yet but very
imperfectly understood.
Analyses of the buds Mt the time Of
the change suggests that a supply OF
stored starches is essential to the
process of fruit bud formation. A
heavily bearing tree uses these
starches to- form fruit. with the result
that few. If any. fruit buds are
formed. AS the starches are formed
in tho leaves. 1t becomes OF great Inn
portance that insects and diseases are
not permitted to defoliate the tree.
Even II there Is no fruit actually in
sight, it may he there, nevertheless.
In the new buds.
1t used to be a rather common nrac-
tice to allow the idle fruit tree to 20
unsprayed, but obviously this is not a
common sense practice, and is no
longer followed by commercial orch
ardlSts. practically as many SPRAYS
are applied in the off -fruting wear as
when the crop is abundant. Ferti-
llZerS, too. are as essential in tn off
IruftlnS year as in the on year. The
fruit tree is not like an annual plant.
eXhausting itself each year. but is a
reservoir Of stored food waiting to be
OF service when needed.

CULTIVATED BLUE
BERRIES.

Blueberries have been considered as
wild fruit for so long time that 1t is
difficult to get across to the public the
possibility of growing them under cul
ture in the way that raspberries, cur
rants and other bush fruits are
handled. Yet it appears to be only a
matter Of a few years now when cult
waited blueberries will he as ordinary
n product as raspbcrries and other
garden berries. As a matter of fact,
there are already several big planta-
tons in New Jersey that are shipping
blueberries in large quantities to the
big city markets The cultivated blue.
berries differ from the wild in being
much larger in size and being borne
in larger clusters.
The improved blueherries have orig
mated in two Wdys-by careful SeleC-
ton from wild bogs and by controlled
plant breeding. The United States
Department of Agriculture, through
the work Of DIR. T. V. Coville and
associates, has had an important hand
in BURBERRY Improvement, and has
recently issued a bulletin describing
the improved varieties and discussing
cultural requirements.
The burberry is distinctly an acid
soil plant. as is shown in its natural
habitat in swamps and Iow-lying
areas. To make the plants grow, one

CAULIFLOWER.

Cauliflowers are not easily grown
in this vicinity, except as an early
Spring and late Autumn crop. Like
the cabbage, kales and other crucif
erous plants, the cauliflower Is dis
tinctly a coolweather plant. In addi-
ton, plenty of water and abundant
soil nutrients are needed to stimulate
the rapid growth essential to the de-
velopment of solid white heads. Cauli-
flower plants set out at this time will
have a much better chance to succeed
than those set in June or July. In
hot weather the plants simply will
not form large, firm heads, but in
stead the heads are small and divided
into many small parts.
Under good conditions Of growth the
caulifiower head develops rapidly. AS
soon as the young head--or flower
bud, as it really is-appears it should
be protected from the sun by drawing
some Of the large outer leaves up over
the head and tying them together at
the top with soft string or raffia.
This hlanches the head, keeping it
clear and white in color. Under ia.
vorable conditions, even the most
capable grower is unable to grow a

his predecessors, the native inhabi-
tants of North America and of South
America. Great as Luther Burbank
and other plant breeders may have
been, they did not begin to contribute
to our food supply what the red man
did through untold centuries of uncon-
scious betterment.
1t would be difficult to conceive what
the modern world would do without
these native American vegetables. The
white potato is now grown throughout
the northern temperate zone, and in
some countries, such as Germany and
Ireland, is the mainstay food plant.
The ships of Columbus not only discov-
cred land and men, but a great addi-
ton to the variety and quantity of the
worlds food supply. We should not
fail to render a measure of tribute to
tho early inhabitants of the Americas
for helping to make our gardens really
worth while.

GIANTS ASK kAUFF
SUIT BE DISMISSED

CINCINNATI. December l R).-
The ruling of *. NJ. Lands, base ball
commissioner. barring Bennie Kauff,
Columbus. Ohio, from professional
base ball. was a defense stated in an
answer filed in the United States Dis
trict Court here yesterday by the
New York National League Club to
the suit instituted by kauff seeking
S6.052.50 as damages for alleged
breach of contract in 1921.
The defendant admitted that it en-
tered into a contract with kauff for
his service during the 1921 season
and that it agreed to pay him S6500.
Kauff, the answer stated, was paid
$4,000 under the contract, but it de-
MED that the New York club is in
debted 10 him for the balance of $4500
or any other sum.
II was set out that on March l,
1921. Commissioner Lands made an
edict declaring Kauff ineligible to play
professional base ball.
BY reason of this ruling and other
alleged facts cited regarding Kauff,
the defendant said he had so far i'm
paired his power to properly fulfill
his contract as to release the defend
ant from any duties or obligations
under the contract. Court was asked
to dismiss the case.

Another rule change regarding the
limitation on fouling very likely will
be made by the American Basket Ball
League this week and may be put into
effect here Sunday night when Wash
ington entertains the New York
Celtics at the Arcadia in the first of
a two-game series.
Once again listening to the appeal
of the ma iority of fans, Joe +. Carr.
president of the league, has ordered
the eight club owners to vote on a
proposed new rule which would dis
card the five-foul-and-out regulation
now in effect. The new rule, rs sug-
gested by Carr, would be along the
following lines:
Amy player who commits three per-
sonal fouls shall be eliminated from
the game for a short period, probab bly,
from 3 to minutes. at the expira-
ton of which he could go back.
According to George Marshall, own
er of the Washington club. who is
a proponent of the latest change in
the pro cage code. President Carr has
received numerous complaints from
league cities that the fans were cry
ing against the disqualification of star
players-their idols. as it were-due
to to the five-foul regulation.
Assuming that the fans pay their
money to watch the stars perform and
realizing that they are not satisfied
to have their right denied them in
this respect by mere rule, Carr was
quick to take heed. The present rule
was passed by the league only last
Spring at a time when the public
registered it's disapproval of the linn
IxuI
lent in pro contests.
Carr's rule Is similar to the rule in
effect in ice hockey whereby a foul
draws 2-minute disqualification upon
the offending player. but the penalty
of Carr's proposal Is more severe than
the hockey suspension because the
duration of a basket ball game is
shorter by 20 minutes than the one
hour puck-chasing contest.
Owner Marshall was in communica-
tion with Carr last night and gave the
change his approval. explaining that
he thought it would still tend to re-
duce fouling and meanwhile give the
fans the benefit of practically a full
time performance of their favorite
PLAYERS.
When a complete poll of the club
owners is finished Carr will notify

flying the length of time of the dis
qualification.
