VEGETABLE GARDEN

The sooner the soil that is to be
planted to vegetables this season is
spaded the better will be its condition
when planting time comes. Rather
obviously, one should choose a day
when the soil is fit for working, con-
dition that can be determined readily
by observing whether the clods crum-
BILE when turned. If too wet the Jumps
of soil will remain lumpy after drying
and perhaps stay that way more or less
all Summer. After the soil is spaded
it should not be smoothed and fitted
until just before planting.
Before spading is a very good time
to apply lime if this substance is to be
used. This is especially true where
hydrated lime is used, as it gives a
little time for any caustic properties
that may be left in the lime to dis
appear before planting Where animal
manures are used for. fertilizer they
may very well be spread before the
initial spading. With commercial fer
tilizer, however, there is possibility
that spading may bury the material
too deep to be of service to the young
plants, and it is better, perhaps, to
rake this into the surface soil before
planting
Planting time will soon be here for
ach, radish and Irish potatoes. In
fact, March IT has become more or
less associated with early potato plant
ing in this vicinity, although April l
is more sensible date since the tubers
usually simply lie in the soil until it
warns up enough to allow root growth.
Peas, on the other hand, should be in
the soil very soon now for the simple
reason that they produce much larger
crops from early sowings. Nothing
harms the pea crop more than the
burst Of hot weather along the middle
Of June. In the case of the radish,
early sown crops often escape maggot
injury. 1t pays to plant early and to
force the crop along with some nitrate
Of soda or other nitrogen fertilizer.
Spinach, too, is at its best when plant
ed early. In fact, some of the best
crops of spinach come from plants
seeded in October or early November
and Wintered over as young plants.
Considering the perennial vegetables.
asparagus and rhubarb, the sooner
these plants are now set in the soil the
better they will prosper this year.

Georgia peaches were even later than
usual in blooming.
Late March is a good time to clean
up the flower garden and borders Of
old plant refuse and leaves. Already
many of the plants. such as columbine
and pyrethrum. have commenced to
grow and If too heavy a coating Of
leaves lies over the young foliage 1t
may be injured or even killed. The
soil between the perennlals Is now soft
and can be stirred to the advantage
of the plants. working in old rotted
manure or fertilizer.
Bone meal Is excellent in the peren-
nial border, but as matter of fact,
so is any good fertilizer Comme4 claI
fertilizer should not be spread directly
on the young plants because Of its
burning effects and it is in general
much more sensible to apply fertilizer
in partial doses, especially when in
doubt as to its effects on the plant.

GRAPE TRAINING

Training and pruning of the grape
are rather hopelessly confused in the
minds of many gardeners, but they are
distinctly separate. A vine can be
trained whether pruned or unpruned.
but generally speaking the practices
so hand IN hand. One reads OF the
knifen, MunSon, Chautauqua and other
systems OF training grapes. with ardent
fans favoring one or another. AS a
matter OF fact. good grapes can be
produced by any OF the several systems,
although each is more or less adapted
to certain set of conditions In the
open feld, where nothing except grapes
are grown. the Kniffen and Chautau-
qua systems. with their two or three
wires and low hanging vines, are very
good while In the limited home garden.
where the owner wishes to work under
his grapes, the Munson, with its over
head wires. may easily be more con-
venlent and is in fact recommended
by w. r. Beattie and c. p. Close in
Farmers Bulletin No. l242, entitled,
permanent Fruit and Vegetable
Gardens"
The Munson system Is more or less
OF an arbor system, the fruit hanging
down from overhead wires, but is much
more easily handled than the ordinary
home garden arbor, where the vines
cover the sides as we'll as top. In this
last case 1t is usually necessary to
adopt different system of pruning
namely, long canes OF old wood and
short spurs of one to three buds in
length of new wood The long canes
become woody rather quickly and
should be occasionally replaced by new
growth coming from near the base of
the plant. The basic principle is the
same in all types of training; that is,
the saving of sufficient CT the last
seasons wood to bear a crop This
is measured in the number of buds
left. which may vary with the
strength Of the plant, but should
average around fifty.

GARDEN NOTES

In the February number of the Mis-
souri, Botanical Garden Bulletin there
appeared a very interesting article on
Miniature Glass Gardens for the
Home" BY placing plate of glass
over the top of the bowl, the gardener,
If he may be so called because of the
smallness of the enterprise, is enabled
to maintain satisfactory relative
humidity in the jar and grow plants
that would not at all endure the dry
atmosphere of the average home. The
material for the bowl garden can be
gathered from some shady stream bank
and hence requires very little invest
ment beyond the bowl itself, and this
may be secured from any hardware
store.
The perfect maze of varieties in some
OF the leading species of garden fiow-
eEs is evident in figures given out by
Cornell University, showing 10000
varieties Of gladiolus. 1000 varieties Of
dahlia and over 1000 each of peonies,
roses and iris now offered for sale
1t is little wonder that the gardener
is badly puzzled in knowing what kinds
to buy.
The general thought seems to be
that flowers cut in the early morning
keep better than those cut in the mid
die of the day. However, in an expert
ment carried on at Cornell University
in the Summer of 1880, golden spray
and Albania gladiolus spikes cut at
2 pm. kept somewhat better than those
cut at either 6 am. of pm. This re-
suit simply goes to show that some of
the knowledge based on practice alone
may not be as reliable as we assume
it to be and also shows the value of
systematic studies.
The extent Of the damage done
locally to fruit by the heavy freeze
of March and has not been ascer-
tanned, but it is certain that the peach
crop over the country as a whole was
badly hurt. A New York trade paper
asserts that there was an almost COM
plete loss of peaches in the Central
States, but that the Georgia region
largely escaped. This latter news is
indeed good, since much of our local
supply comes from that territory. For
some unknown but fortunate reason

MEXICAN OFFICER
CHARGED WITH /
FENCE JUMPING

The little story of fence jumping
turned into a big one Monday and
is absorbing more interest than any
past Chinese expulsion case along
the border.
The case brings about one of the
most pitched battles ever staged in
the courts Of Nogales, in regard to
immigration relations and charges
Arcade Garcia, officer Of Nogales,
Sonora, with assisting aliens over the
fence.
Arcadia was taken into custody
late Saturday night by immigration
officials as he drove a patrol truck
into the United States for new
supply of gasoline. immigration Of
ficials were busy Monday morning
acquiring records and locating sew
era! Chinese prisoners who verbally
charged thai the Mexican officer
took g, number Of Chinese for a joy
ride to the international line and
then assisting them over it with the
kindness of force. They later verified
their charges by signing affidavits.
Arcade was held to answer at a
hearing Monday before Judge w. A.
O'Connor in the United States COM
niSSicner's court and bail for the
defendant was set at $500, which
he was unable to make. C. L. Hardy,
local attorney, was notified to rep
resent the defendant at the request
CT G. Palacia-Roji, Mexican Counsel.
Arcade is being held in the Santa
Cruz county jail, pending his re-
moval to Tucson the latter part of
the week where ne viii be tried be-
fore the United States Federal court.
Doubt Legality
A doubt as to the legality Of hold
ing the Sonora ofi.ce1. for trial was
dismissed and overruled by Judge
w. A. C'Connor at the hearing Mon
day. While Arcade faced a grave
situation that he might be charged
with SO or so like cases of smuggl-
ing aliens into the United States,
Slight controversy arose between the
Mexican counsel and United States
authorities WAC during the past
week were awaiting the appearance
Of Arcade On warrant for his ar
rest. The Mexican representatives
appealing en- the grounds that the
offense had not been made on AM

quelled the argument, bringing forth
the fact that the fence stands Iour

NO RAIN, LIGHTNING OR
WIND EFFECTS USED IN
DOCTOR x" MYSTERY

A mystery melodrama without
benefit of wind, rain O. lightning is
almost unique in screen history, but
Doctor X'', First Nationals excit-
ing Technicolor picture, at the Fox
Nogales Theater, today and tomor-
row, has that added distinction.
Dramatis5s from Shakespeare's
time down have almost invariably
called on nature for help in the
building OF nelodrama. The elements
have always been considered legiti-
mate aids in setting an atmosphere
of mystery and suspense. The old
stage mechanic outdid nature at her
worst in staging thunder storms such
as were never heard in fact and in
making the wind howl in way that
would shame a South Seas hurri-
cane.
But the material used in Doctor
X was considered effective enough
without adding unnecessary weather
complications for heightened drama.
In this mystery the scenarist deals
with the activities of skillful crirni-
nal, in a setting made wierd enough
by aSsociating it with half dozen
half-mad scientists, each working
toward some uncertain end.
Doctor X'' is picture with real
thrills and a beautiful romance.
