WATSON'S COURAGE
SHINES IN DEFEAT
Shows Lots of Fight After
Near-K. O. by Chocolate.
Gate Is $4,000.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,

1SSCIlnbcu II COO Cpoibo
n JEW YORK, May 20.-There
M was none today to question
l Y Seaman Tom Watson's GAL
lantry under fire, but it
takes more than that to whip
duSky Kid Chocolate The Cuban
still is featherWeight champion of
the world In the eyes of the New
York State Athletic Commission.
Outspeeded. outreached. outhit and
outboxed, Watson was decisively beaten
by the Cuban fash in l5-round title
bout in Madison Square Garden last
night but he made not few new
friends by his willingness and courage.
For six rounds it appeared that a
new champion might be crowned as
Watson belabored the Negro about the
body, had him holding on and general
ly seemed to have the situation fully
under control.
Apparently realizing his title was
slipping away, Chocolate turned on
more speed, starting with the seventh
round, outboxed the pale Briton at
long range and outgunned him in the
numerous exchanges in close. 1t was
still anybody's fight, however, until the
tenth round, when Chocolate landed
the one really decisive punch of the
bout.
T INCORKING furious two-fisted at
~ tack, the Cuban caught Watson on
the jaw with looping left and
Watson went down, badly hurt. He
bounced up at the count of two, how
ever, only to take a terrific pasting for
the rest of the round. The Seaman
was Shaky when he went to his corner
and it took him another round to re-
cover from this batterirg.
Watson was far from through, how
ever, and held his own in the last four
rounds, winning the twelfth and four
teenth but dropping the thirteenth and
fifteenth
The Associated Press score card gave
Chocolate eight rounds-the first, third,
seventh, eighth. tenth eleventh, thir-
teenth and fifteenth-with the second
and ninth even. Watson won the five
others
Chocolate weighed 1891, Watson
1851, a half pound under the class
limit.
A crowd Of $4,000 contributed to a
gate" of about 100000.

THE FRUIT GARDEN.

One of the problems that confronts
the suburban gardener is that of plum.
cherry and pear trees that, despite
vigorous growth and abundant bios
soming. fail to bear q worthwhile crop
Of fruit. This may, Of course, be q
matter of insects which sting the young
fruits and cause them to drop, or of
diseases that rot the fruit. However.
there may be a more difficult trouble
that of failure to secure adequate
pollination because of the absence of
neighboring trees capable Of supplying
potent pollen. Where q tree blossoms
season after season and yet fails to
produce, it is reasonably logical to be-
lieve that inadequate pollination Is the
underlying cause of the failure.
great deal is now known of the
pollination relationships of fruits
Raspberries, currants and gooseberries
offer no problem, but Strawberries may
because in some varieties flowers are
produced with no pollen. Fortunately
most of our well known varieties of
Strawberries have perfect blooms
Peaches, with a few exceptions, nota-
bly, j. H. Hale, fruit freely With
sweet cherries, however, the pollination
problem IS acute
The fine Western cherries now COM
Ing SO abundantly to market are pro-
duced in orchards composed of several
varieties, because the owners have
learned that most sweet cherry varie-
ties viii not fruit successfully when
placed by themselves, and even more
serious Is the fact that certain COM
binations OF sweet cherry varieties are
not effective.

GARDEN NOTES.

It is not too late to plant dahlias for
Fall bloom. To insure good results, how
ever, the soil should be well spaded and
supply of bone meal or well rotted
manure placed below the tuber with a
protective layer of an inch or two OF
soil between. The dahlia appears to be
o plant which blossoms freely even
when growing extremely vigorously and
one need have little fear of producing
an overvegetative development. Most
dahlia growers place the stakes at time
of planting and use it to attach the
name Of the variety.
Rosa rugosa Is choice shrub In gar
dens near the sea, seeming to endure
the salt-laden air with marked success.
The varieties Of this group are low
growing, extremely thorny and have
little value as cut flowers. However,
they do make fine display when
maSsed.
There appears to be no reason why
the home gardener cannot use the new
high concentration fertilizers provided
he reduces the total amount used In
accord with the strength. For instance,
15-24-12 material Is about three times
the ordinary garden material In
strength. Hence Just one-third as
much should be used Of the stronger
material.
The extension service Of the Univer-
sity Of Maryland has recently issued o
bulletin, No. SO, pests Of Ornamentals
and Shade Trees" This paper should
prove of value to local gardeners. as 1t
deals with pests common in this region.

GARDEN CARE.

Like most tasks, gardening can be
made much easier If the work IS done
at the proper time and not allowed to
lag too badly. Local clay soils are
rather difficult to handle unless taken
at about the right time following rains;
that Is, when no longer soggy, but not
yet crusted on the surface. During
this short period clay works very nicely.
Then there is the problem of weeds.
They are easily killed as seedlings, and
equally difficult to control once deeply
rooted. Weeds are robbers of moisture
and soil nutrients and should not be
tolerated. Also, from the standpoint
Of appearance, weeds detract greatly
from the garden.
Organic matter and applied nutrients
are rapidly utilized in titled soils. Hence
it is necessary to supply abundant plant
food to cultivated plants If one desires
rapid, vigorous growth.
Prunings of trees and shrubs and
other plant refuse should not be per-
mitted to accumulate near the garden,
both as a matter of appearance and
because such refuse harbors insects and
plant diseases. Where refuse is not
burned, it should be buried in COM
post pit where it will gradually decom-
pose and become a useful plant food.

dition. OF the various factors which
contribute to the success of the garden
the water supply Is of primary rank.

alyssum, candytuft, geum, mignonette,
nasturtium, pansy, poppy, phlox and
zinnia Most of these thrive fairly
well on ordinary soil If 1t is well fer

BY sowing seed at this time, the
home gardener can assure himself of
an abundant supply of columbines,
Canterbury bells. foxgloves. gaillardias,
hollyhocks, larkspurs. forget-me-nots,
pyrethrums, Sweet williams and other
hardy perennials. To obtain the best
results with these species the soil
should be improved by the addition
Of peat moss and some fertilizer, such
as bone meal In the hard soil of
the ordinary garden it is difficult for
tender seedlings to get started.

THE HOME GARDENER
HOLLYHOCK RUST.

Conspicuous browning and dropping
of the leaves Of hollyhock at this season
is not the result of natural maturity, but
the final manifestation Of q disease
known as hollyhock rust. Some years
little trouble Is caused by the disease,
although present. Other years the
leaves drop badly, as Is the case in many
gardens at this time. Rust type of dis
eases are difficult to control, and that
Of the hollyhock is no exception. How
ever. 1t is generally conceded that re-
peated spraying with Bordeaux mixture
from the time the young leaves first
appear In the Spring will control the
disease. Hollyhocks are an important
feature Of many large flower gardens
and a loss of foliage at the time of
bloom is altogether undesirable. How
ever, 1t won't do to wait until the leaves
are yellowing to begin preventive opera
tiCns.
Hollyhocks are Of the easiest possible
culture. The seeds grow SO easily that,
in the garden, seedlings actually become
weeds. There are many desirable va
rieties, including double and single
fowered forms. The double -howered
Newport Pink Is a particularly attractive
variety. and Imperator, with immense
blooms, frilled and deeply fringed, Is a
desirable novelty.

PHLOX DRUMMONDI.

The y>.,ox genus furnishes the homo
gardener with several beautiful species
of plants, from the humble phlox
subulata. the moss pink Of the rock
garden. to the noble perennial phloxes
Of Midsummer glory. Few gardeners
apparently are acquainted with the
Drummond phlox, an annual form
from Texas. possessing a tremendous
capacity for Towering until cut down
by frost. Drummond phlox is easily
grown from seed and Is especially at
tractive when massed in beds. Several
color strains have been isolated, but
mixture Of seed possibly gives the most
attractive display.
This annual phlox does well in poor
soil If planted in full sunlight, but, on
the other hand, responds well to good
culture and is certain to produce q
show of color in the garden in Mid
summer.
Evening star., 1933-07-02
FERTILIzING.

With annual flowers and vegetables.
it is often desirable to supplement the
original Spring fertilizer treatment with
additional material applied along the
rows. Generally the need Of such ad-
ditional plant food can be readily de-
tected in the appearance Of the plants
themselves: that Is, IN slow growth and.
in some cases, by the color Of the
foliage.
A yellowish green cast is often in
dicative Of inadequate nutrition, es-
pecially of nitrogen supplying mate
rials. Many gardeners recognize this
need and supply q little nitrate of soda
or sulphate Of ammonia along the rows.
This treatment Is horticulturally known
as side dressing and is commonly prac-
ticed by commercial and professional
gardeners.
Often the same total amount of fer
tiliZer Is much more effective II ap-
piled in divided treatments, partly be-
cause some of the ingredients Of the
early applications are washed down into
the subsoil by rain waters and are lost
to the plant. Furthermore the placing
of the side dressing along the row
within reach of the roots Is q factor
in success of the treatment.
Generally speaking, the Spring fer.

complete fertilizer containing all three
of the principal plant food elements.
nitrogen. PHOSPHORUS and potash. The
later side dressings may very well con-
sist of nitrogen alone. A very small
quantity of q material such as nitrate
Of soda will often produce remarkable
results in a few days. One pound scat
tered along q 100-foot row Is q fairly
liberal application Of nitrate OF soda.
Or, If the plants are planted singly, as
is the case OF dahlias, tomatoes and pole
beans, a spoonful of nitrate OF soda
placed in a circle few inches from the
root crown will suffice. The material
should be worked shallowly into the
soil. A week or two later the applica-
ton may be repeated without danger OF
fertilizer burning.
Nitrogen is not the only or most I'M
portant need Of plants, but 1t is the
most generally limiting factor In gar
den fertility due to its rapid loss from
the soil. One reason why rQtted ma
nure was such an excellent garden fer
tilizer rested in its general yielding OF
its nutrients over the growing period
and, too. In its content Of rotting or
ganic matter that improved the texture
and other characters Of the soil.
At this season. gardens that were in
adequately fertilized in the Spring are
showing the defects. But 1t Is alto
gether possible to restore thrifty
growth by side dressings Of quickly
available nutrients.

beds that cannot be given intensive
attention. Furthermore, the geranium
possesses remarkable resistance to q
shortage of water and If neglected for a
time. will come back rapidly.
Many do not realize that geraniums
are named, and simply buy them by
color. However, the florist recognizes
definite varieties and among the best
for bedding use are Mrs. s. A. Mutt,
rich dark crimson; Alphonse Riccard,
bright vermilion scarlet; Beaute Poite-
vine. salmon pink, and Nine. Re-
camier, pure white.
A reader has inquired as to q potted
plant which would hold its own under
adverse conditions Of an open cemetery
plot Certainly the geranium would
make a creditable showing.

Organized Reserves

Up to the present time the War De-
partment has made no definite an
nouncement with respect to this Sum-
mer's training which has been author
lied for District r. o. r. c. and c. M.
T. c. units and which will be curtailed
considerably. The recent War Depart
ment notice authorizing training of the
civilian components Of the Army this
Summer did not include Reserve Off
GERS or the training of units of the Or
genized Reserves.
A new policy has been inaugurated
by the War Department governing the
relief of Air Corps Reserve officers from
extended active duty. This Is of par
ticular interest this year, in view Of
the fact that the active duty of officers
and units Of the Organized Reserves has
been practically eliminated. In the fu-
ture, as a matter of policy, Reserve
oficer who, after three months with q
tactical unit, does not possess the nee
essary pilot qualifications to perform
the tactical missions of the unit to
which he is assigned will be recon-
mended for relief from further extended
active duty rather than assigned to nom
tactical duties.
The chief purpose Of assigning Re-
serve officers to extended active duty Is
tc give them further training with tao
tical units of the Air Corps, and mas
much as tactical training Is not func-
ton of service squadron, 1t is not con-.
sidered that this purpose is being ac-F
complished by such an assignment. The
War Department appropriation act Is
very specific with respect to the active
duty pay of Reserve officers. the law

THE CERANIUM.

Were the geranium rare or dimcult
plant to grow, 1t would receive a
greater measure Of the approval that 1t
deserves. The very Qualities OF easy
cultures that make the geranium a
good horticultural plant make 1t less
popular. Yet its wide use as bedding
plant attests to its real value and there
is no garden plant Of equal beauty that
thriyes with less care. For this reason.
the geranium Is q desirable plant for
