VEGETABLES.

Some of the local home gardeners
are already harvesting from their vege-
table gardens, not only the permanent
crops, such as asparagus ana rhu-
barb but also radishes and spinach,
the last from SoWings made last Fail.
Somehow or other, whether 1t Is partly
Imagination or not, crops gathered in
the home garden seem to be better
than those purchased In the market.
! Undoubtedly the freshness OF the home
product plays a part in its superior
quality. Local gardeners have long
growing season in their favor and, with
hardy crops such as kale, spinach and
parsnips, can actually harvest every
month in the year. Abundant rainfall
has favored the garden operations this
Spring. Nitrate of soda Is a good early
Spring fertilizer. as its nitrogen Is in
available form and supplies this impor-
tant plant food before the soil warns
up enough to allow notification 10 take
place at appreciable rates. A little nj
trate of soda placed along the rows VIII
greatly hasten the development OF
young plants after they have appeared
above ground.
The asparagus crop has been found
to come largely from reserves stored
the preceding Summer in the large,
feshy roots. With this plan, fertilizer
applied after cutting has ceased in late
! May has proved OF greatest benefit
In other words, the gardener Is feed
| ing the crop one year in advance OF
! expected returns.
! Lima beans are sometimes started In
! strawberry baskets and transferred tc
| the garden without disturbing the roots
along about the middle Of May. Where
one desires an early crop and has only
a few dozen poles in mind. the task
is not great. Such procedure insures
& uniform stand of plants and is not
difficult with the aid Of cold frame
| or may be carried out with the aid OF
a shelf placed in a sunny cellar window
Weeds now appearing in the garden
may be easily checked by raking OF
! hoeing. II allowed to grow, the task Is
! greatly increased later on. Applica-
| tons of manure often bring in weeds
! but of the two, no manue and n
weeds or manure and weeds. most gar
deners would choose the latter.

GENTEEL LONDON SUBURB
BATTLES OVER BAR ROOM
VETS Want "Pub" in Marbury,
Croydon Magistrates Turn Down
$4,000 Proposal.

LONDON (SpeciaD Although the
annual booze bill in Great Britain
comes to the colossal total OF $l,3S7,-
100000, there are still some Sahara
like areas in these tight little isles.
That fact has been driven home in
recent days by the efforts of q GER
tain section of the population in Nor
bury, considered one of London's really
genteel suburbs, to have a pub" es-
tablished in that community of TO-
900 inhabitants. For 80 years Norbury
has been without a saloon. Its con-
sumers have had to go half a mile in
one direction or half q mile in the
other to make contact with a place
where alcoholic beverages are sold.
The Croydon magistrates, who con-
troll the Norbury district, have just re-
fused brewers application to build a
tavern on the main road which would
cost 100000. Both vets and drys are
now intensively campaigning In their
respective causes.

AMERICAN BARBER POLE
ADMIRED IN ISTANBUL
Shops With Signs Announcing =
Cent Slaves Prove Snare to
Uninitiated, However.

Uninitiated, However.
ISTANBUL Especially The first pep
permint stick to adorn . barber shop
in the true American style caused quite
a sensation in Istanbul. These are very
pretentious ornaments, quite bulky and
with large red stripes over white stiff
shirts and two big electric lights on top
of each bar. Their one drawback Is
that they are fixed firmly in their places
and do not revolve giddily, as they do
In America.
In spite OF that. the people gathered
around these gayly colored sticks and
admired them for many a day. At night
especially the strong light plays on their
new painted coats and the curious are
thick on the sidewalk trying to find out
ii these ornaments have any use or not.
Some thought they were perfume bot
ties and tried in vain TO make them
work. The peppermint bars remained
aloof and scornful.
The barber shops Of Istanbul have
way with them To attract customers.
One well known institution advertiseS
"a good shave for z cents. q trim hair

rors for IS cents" But voc to the Gus

washed, brushed and his coat restored
to him the 7-cent shave mounts to q

Every movement of the barber, every
added touch Of care IS put down in cold
cash on the customers bill and he re-
mains speechlesS before the dollar when
he was joyfully expecting to get out OF
the place with a few cents only.

GARDEN ITEMS.

Sometimes one hears the statement
made that PHOSPHORUS fertilizer VIII
hasten the r1pening OF fruit and Vege-
tables. Some experiments with the to-
mato plant conducted some years ago
at Arlington Farm, Virginia, show that
this is not wholly true. The tomatoes
did not actually ripen any earlier, but
more of them did ripen early. This
was apparently brought about by the
favorable effect Of the phosphorus on
the growth OF the plant. Perhaps this
discussion has no direct bearing on the
home garden, but it does suggest the
value of using complete fertilizers that
have all the essential ingredients.
Crocus bulbs form their new bulb
directly over the old one. so that in
the course of time the plant approaches
the surface and may be actually heaved
out in Winter thaws. For this reason
the crocus should be dug every few
seasons and reset more deeply. This
heaving probably accounts In part Tor
the disappearance Of crocuses from the
lawn or border.
The Dianthus genus furnishes some
very desirable plants for the flower
garden, ranging from the old-fashioned
hardy Scotch or grass pinks to the
elaborate carnations OF the green
house. In recent years there have
been developed ever-blooming types OF
garden pinks and Of sweet william that
continue in bloom all Summer. Just
how successful these may be in this re-
gion is uncertain. The writer knows
of one case where the Alwoodu ever
blooming pinks failed TO survive the
Summer.
Those who have CHANGED to pass the
Agricultural Building during the past
two weeks have marveled at the trans
formation that is under way in the
surrounding landscape. Large oaks,
beeches and other trees are being
moved to new homes. Much as with
humans, the older the tree the greater
the shock in moving and it will be in
teresting to watch the outcome OF this
venture. Yet trees of large magnitude
are moved safely and there Is little
doubt of success in the present in
stance.
The pansies in front OF the new
Agricultural Building are now beauti-
full. The Winter was mild, so the beds
came through in fine shape and got
an early start. 1t would be a fine
thing II more pansy plants were set out
' in the Autumn by home gardeners, as
the plants surely return wonderful
crop OF blooms.

TURKISH SCIENCE ENDS
OLD FEARS OF ECLIPSE
History Tells How Sultan Murad
", Powerful Monarch, Died
When He Saw Phenomena

ISTANBUL (SpeciaD For the first
time in the history of Turkey an eclipse
of the moon was not followed by special
prayers and gun salvos. but was looked
upon with scientific interest or wonder.
Not so very long ago an eclipse of the
moon or the sun was regarded by many
with terror. People thought that the
world was coming to an end. Murad
", the powerful and mad Sultan OF
Turkey, died because of an eclipse Of
the sun. When he saw IL he exclaimed.
MY end has GOMEZ" and in q few days
1t came indeed.
AS for the moon. ignorant people
thought the evil spirits and djinS OF
the air tortured the moon and she
struggled and fought in their hands
until her face became red or black. To
free the moon from these spirits guns
were fired in the air and special prayers
said in the mosques for her welfare.
Although the ignorant are still sus-
piciouS, they carry their wonder in
silence and hope that the moon can get
along without their help.
