the main event on the fight card
here Monday night. Buddy Veal. 1T
pounds OF San Antonio. plunged 70
the canvas for the count with Ro-
berto Hinojosa. 1T pounds OF
Brownsville, standing over him. Veal,
introduced as the heavyweight
champion OF the 9Th corps area OF
the Army. displayed little Of his re-
puted pugilistic wares. Jack Sui
Ivan. Hinojosa's manager, clanbered
into the ring after the fight and told
the crowd that Bob is going to try
to knock them all out in the first
round"
Veal substituted for Manuel Luna

so that the gardener might very well
in many cases attribute the situation TO
old age. Production drops of, dead
canes are in evidence in the Spring
and before long the whole plantation
Is worthless.
The raspberry is an ideal home gar
den fruit, because it fills in period
between strawberries and Summer tree
fruits and also because the crop Is
produced over q period Of two or three
weeks. RaSpberries are easily grown,
aside from the disease factor. The
plants are purchased from the nursery
in early Spring and planted in rows or
hills. (See illuStration.) The second
year the plants begin producing and
will, II healthy, continue for many
years. The canes which fruit soon die,
being replaced each year by young
canes.
Disease control is the great problem
for commercial and home gardeners
Fortunately, progress is being made
largely by the selection and isolation
of healthy plants and the destruction
of diseased plants. 1t Is now possible
to secure healthy stock for planting
from certain nurseries.
Helpful information relative to re]i-
able sources of stock may be secured
from the Department Of Agriculture OF
the State experiment stations.
1t will be a fine day when raSp-
berry culture, particularly that of the
red varieties, is again made reliable fol
the home gardener.

THE ARTICHOKES

There are two distinct vegetables
known as artichokeS, the Globe or
French, the edible portion of which is
the flower bud, and the Jerusalem, the
useful part Of which is the swollen un-
derground stem tuber. The former Is
thistle-like plant, native to Southern
Europe and Northern Africa and not
rusalem artichoke, contrary to its name,
Is a native of North America and Is a
sunhower. Neither plant figures very
heavily in our vegetable diet but many
people enjoy the Globe artichoke, which
Is quite common article in the higher
grade markets.
The Globe artichoke can be grown out
Of doors in this latitude II protected In
Winter with some covering, such as an
inverted box. Heavy mulches tend to
rot and kill the crown. AS the Globe
artichoke is large plant, two or three
plants are potentially able to produce
one family. The Globe artichoke should
prove an interesting plant for the local
home gardener to experiment with.
The Jerusalem artichoke, on the other
hand, Is practically worthless, since
scarcely any one enjoys eating the
tuberS, which are rather nat and taste
less. Department OF Agriculture chem
lists have found method Of utilizing
the sugar produced in the. Jerusalem
artichoke roots and it is quite likely
that it may soon become a valuable
plant for sugar production. But as a
vegetable, even the most optimistic can
see no future. Strange to say, the
Jerusalem artichoke is quite favorably
considered in France and has been
separated into several horticultural
| varieties.

FRUIT THINNING.

Peaches and plums have the habit OF
setting many more fruits than the trees
can carry to maturity and ripen in
good quality and size. DR.. Marsh oil
| the Illinois Experiment Station, reports
| that an 8-year-old peach tree may
carry more than 10000 flower buds
Natural agencies, such as nutrition re-
| lations and weather, usually thin TINS
number down to 1900 to 1900 fruits
per tree. Where the grower removed
one-third of the final crop by taking
off nubbins and injured fruits and
general thinning he actually harvested
| Just as many bushels Of ripe peaches per
tree, and the peaches, being larger and
more perfect, returned more money to
the grower than did the fruit of un-
thinned trees. 1t Is suggested that
peaches be thinned on young, thrifty
trees so that the remaining fruits stand
4 to 5 inches apart, and even farther
on older trees. Fruits may be success
fully thinned up to the time they are
half grown.
The home gardener may not, OF
course, be interested in money returns,
but he is always interested in obtaining
flrst-class crops. Thinning Is an opera
ton well within the home gardeners
ability to carry through in good shape.
It IS not like following g difficult spray
schedule, where powerful machinery IS
needed to obtain maximum enctency.
Another point In favor Of thinning
was brought out in studies with plums
at the V1neland, Ontario, fruit station.
The Trimmed trees bloSsorned more album
dainty than unthinned trees in the
years following fruit thinning and Suf-
fered less Winter injury. Regular pro-
duction Of moderate sized annual crops
Is way ahead of one year big and one
year very small or none. The japanese
plums, Abundance and Burbank, are
very much inclined to overbear, setting
a lot of small plums which certainly
need thinning.
II Is not untimely to mention that
fruit thinning helps materially in con-
/ trolling rots and insects. Brown rot
that scourge Of ripening plums and
peaches, seems to delight in thick clus-
tiers Of fruit, which by actual contact
make passage easy. Thinning may be
rightfully considered as a very helpful
adjunct to spraying in giving the grower
a fine crop Of fruit.

SHADE TREE INJURY

It is common knowledge among gar
deners, especially, professional gardeners,
that the various species Of shade trees
differ widely in their ability to with
stand smoke and other adverse city con-
ditions. City smoke contains sulphur
fumes and other harmful gases which
do not occur in the open country air, at
least in appreciable amounts. The gar
deners in charge Of the city parks Of
Pittsburgh, Pa, a location eminently
adapted for. such study, examined the
trees Of the city and rated them in the
following order Of descending resistance
to smoke: White oak, pin oak, red oak,
Norway maple. oriental plane, black
locust. elm. tulip poplar. gingko. silver

THE HOME GARDENER
Practical and Seasonal Hints for the Beauifg Surroundings
THE VEGETABLE
GARDEN

Excessive rains made lots Of trouble
for the vegetable gardener. especially
where the titled soil was located IN low
situation. Weather is rarely ideal for
the gardener, but, weighing all factors,
too much rain Is better than too little,
especially Tor planting near large trees.
Swiss chard is good standby In the
vegetable garden. It grows fast II well
fed and supplies fine quality product
for use as a green. Furthermore, Swiss
chard is one Of the few cut-and-come-
again vegetables, provided the crown is
not injured. II two or three leaves are
taken at time, the plants will keep
on producing all Summer. The mtdribs
of the leaves make an excellent substi-
tute for asparagus.
There are many species OF vegetables
that may still be planted with every
hope Of maturing. Early varieties Of
sweet corn, string or snap beans, beets,
kale, caulidower and cabbage will still
come through in fine shape.
The Mexican beetle now Is busily en-
gagged in destroying the bean crop and
will certainly make o thorough job Of 1t
many cases got by safely simply be-
caus of being ahead Of the beetle. but
present crops cannot escape. Magne-
SUM arsenate Is the best poisonous ma
terial for combating the bean beetle
and may be used as liquid or as a
powder. busting will likely have the
greater appeal to the home gardener be-
cause 1t is easier and more rapid. Py-
rethrum soap spray is recommended for
beans in pod because of its non-poi-
sonous qualities. Beans busted with
magnesium arsenate should be care
fully rinsed before cooking.
Tomatoes are now growing very rap
idly and will need frequent tying to the
wires or stakes. Spraying the plants
with Bordeaux mixture Is an advisable
practice in view of the several leaf spot
diseases to which the tomato is Suscep-
tible.

maple. ash-leafed maple and liquid am
Der. Coniferous trees were very much
more susceptible to injury than the
broad-leafed species; In fact. the most
resistant confer, the Savin juniper, was
rated about equal to the silver maple,
which was, as shown above, among the
least resistant deciduous trees. OF
course, these results may have been in
huenced by certain conflicting factors,
such as better location and nutrition,
but they may be accepted as reasonably
in the front or rear lawns. Here In WASH
ington the streent paintings are as they
properly should be, handled by the Dis
trtct Government. A study of the Pitts

factory means of control. One careful
spraying will clean the plants and is a
much more sensible practice than watt
ing for the insects to leave Of their own
accord.
With all said by experts about the
lack of quality in the two Radiance
roses, there are really no equals for the
ordinary home garden when it comes to
healthy foliage and continuous yields
of blooms. Too many, of the so-called
ing or busting to retain their foliage,
and at the best spraying and busting
are none too effective in periods Of ex-
cessive rains such as have prevailed OF
late.
