Colorado Has Outlawed
Common Burberry Plant

The common barberry and its re-
lated horticultural varieties is out
lawed in Colorado because of its abl-
ity to harbor black-stem rust, a dis
ease causing great losses in wheat.
Quarantine order No. 3, recently pu0-
lished by the state entomolOgist, de-
clares the plant pest and orders il
destroyed wherever found.
The order makes il a misdemeanOr
punishable by fine of s. to $500 to
ship common barberries into the state.
Such shipments made contrary to the
order will be Immediately sent out OF
the state or destroyed at the expense
of the owner or owners.
The order is a reissue of a similar
measure in force before the last gen.
eral assembly changed the status of
the State EntomolOgist act.

Agricultural Notes

The baled hay is easier handled and
requires much less storage space.
If weeds get ahead of the alfalfa,
clip them off with a mowe4 not later
than September Is.
II there is land on the farm that Is
too poor or rough to cultivate, one
may establish a woodlot.
Extra fine quality alfalfa hay may
contain one-fourth more protein than
wheat bran, while poor quality alfalfa
may have fourth less.
The curing of hay is largely de
pendent on weather conditions. but
siIage crops can be put into the silo
when wet and will cure regardless OF
weather.
Alfalfa contains the protein needed
to balance the silage while the sllage
supplies succulence.
Lawns should be seeded either In
early spring or in late summer for the
grasses usually sowed grow best in
the cool weather and short days which
come then.
Aside from the labor-Saving advan-
tages of modern hay machines, the
help which they give in producing a
higher quality of hay should not be
lost sight of.
The quality of hay depends quite
largely on the methods used in cur
ing and handling 1t, hence the neces-
sity for using the best methods and
machines available
Whenever possible, ii Is best to ap-
ply lime at least several months in
advance of the time of seeding alfalfa.
as this gives 1t time to become avail
able to plants. 1t may be spread with
shovel, manure spreader. or with
special lime spres .ers which can be
pur chased.

Soil Best Adapted for
Growing Sow Bean Crop

If soy beans are planted on clean
soil and broadcast at the rate OF two
bushels per acre, one can expect TO
get from two to three tons of hay per
acre. Soil that will produce good corn
will usually raise soy beans satisfac-
torily. Soil that is too acid to raise
alfalfa or sweet clover will usually
produce a satisfactory crop of soy
beans if other conditions are good
The ground which is sown to soy
beans should be carefully worked be-
fore the beans are sOwn. Frequent
narrowing is necessary to keep out
the foxtail and similar grasses until
the beans get good start.

Andy Cohen Gives Boys
Lecture on Ball Game

Andy Cohen, spectacular young sec
ond baseman of the New York Giants,
has carved a niche for himself in the
hearts of Chicago youth.
During the Chicago-New York series
more than three thousand boys crowd
ed and fought their way into a hall
to hear Hornsby's successor give ad-
vice on how to break into professional
baseball. Most of the boys were men,
bers of teams entered in the Ameri-
can League Junior Baseball league.
And Andy's advice was to subor-
dinate everything else to baseball If
one wants to make that his career.
"Think baseball; talk baseball; pay
no attention to anything else,' was
the advice of McGraw's newest find"

NOTES M1

Gene Mccain. Yankee scout hasn't
worn any but white neckties in the
last fifteen years.
The way the New York Yankees are
going just now, we imagine they could
win a train wreck.
Bill Miller, Chicago semipro pitch.
er, was released Internationally by
the Cincinnati Reds.
Muddy Ruel, Washington catcher,
broke into baseball in 1915, with the
st. Louis Americans.
An umpire is suing for divorce. For
the first time in his life he had to
admit that he guessed wrong.
Bruce Copeland, former Three:
umpire, is now in New York writing
race track pieces for the papers.
Ty Cobb, in the opinion Of President
Barnard of the American league, is
the greatest player baseball has ever
had.
The business of turning pitchers
into Outfielders got big boost wien
Frank O'Doul made two home runs in
one day for the Giants.
Archie Edwards, a young amateur
pitcher of Battleford, Saskatchewan,
has signed with the Boston Braves
and will report for trial in July.
In the game of May 16, Atlanta
versus Birmingham, not a man was
famed by either pitcher and the Bar.
on outfielders had but two putouts.
The little boy who used to see ball
games free through a knothole has
grown up and has better manners
He listens in for nothing over the
radio.
"What the other American clubs
need" said a New York expert sis
more good ball players" What he
means is that they really need less
Yankees.
Babe Ruth has played in more world
series than any other major Lacquer.
Ruth has strutted his stuff in three
classics with Boston and five with the
Yankees.
1t has been decided by the Supreme
court of Minnesota that the fabrica-
ton of an unnatural knothoIe in the

and went home for a rest.
Dudley Branom, now with Louisville,
continues in baseball despite the fact
his father-in-law is a millionaire and
has tried persistently to have him give

Charley Sits, scout for the Chicago
White Sox, while in st. Paul, where he
saw the Saints-Brewer series, called
Oscar Roettger, star first sacker of
the st. Paul team, ''the best prospect
he had seen in the minors this season."
Des Moines has released Shortstop
Clyde Bower 10 Marshalltown of the
Mississippi Valley league. Bower was
one of those bewhiskered House of
David players before Lee Keyser
signed him last winter.
It's no wonder the Toronto Leafs
are making such fuss in the lnterna-

Would Shift Arms

One of the interesting stories of the
moment is that Goose GOslin, outfield-
er of the Washington team. whose
good right arm has gone bad. may try
a shift and become a left-arm throweT.
1t is an interesting story. and that Is
about all And yet. Eddie Roush of
the New York Giants did accomplish
such stunt, shifting from right to
left, as the story has IT. because of All
injury to his right arm, though Eddie
says he always could throw with
either arm.

Astronomical

The Naval observatory says that &C
cording to the parallaxes adopted In
our latest star catalogues, the distance
between the two stars forming the bot
tom of the bowl of the Dipper in Ursa
Major is about $50 triliOn miles. This
should be regarded as only q rough
approximation.

Interesting Relics

A London woman says she has In
her possession the first pair of rubber
galoshes ever made in that country
They could never have been worn by
anyone, however, for each shoe is
only two inches long. They were
made for the great exhibition Of 1851
to show the possibilities of rubber as
a waterproof material.

The Skin Game

A naturalist says that there are
sharks enough in the sea to serve all
the worlds demand for leather-and
1t is fine leather at that. SHINING a
shark sounds like meritorious task
and we are in favor of using the WIS.,
ible supply of sharks as the scientist
suggests. We might save few
calves and wear out more sharks.

Chicks Need Green Feed

Many chicks are raised in partial
confinement to keep them away from
older birds and contaminated ground.
Remember they still need and like
plenty of tender. green feed. Young
alfalfa leaves are the best form OF
green feed. Give them all they will
eat.

Moriarity compelled his pitchers to
spend hours practicing the business of COW
ering first and it was surprising to see how
few were able to do it properly.
When 1t comes to pinches the average
pitcher is generally so confused that he will
use anything but his best delivery
Most of them lose heart over errors or
bad breaks.
Criticizing their teammates is me of
the best things they do. Ball players are
notorious for producing alibis but the pitch
ers produce most of them.
Confidence is one thing few of them
develop. They lack confidence in certain
deliveries. If they followed the rest cf
Quinn's advice they would automatically
develop confidence.
And Quinn can back up his advice with
16 years of major league pitching.
