growers, and the practical use
which is being made of this infor-
nation each season in the growing
of better and cleaner fruit in this
section of the United States. The
fact that more fruit growers are
calling upon the county agent and
the pathologist and entomologist
each year for advice in regard to
their spraying problems may be re-
garded as sufficient evidence that
this service is worth while, and
many growers also have expressed
their appreciation of this work.
In addition to the suggestions and
recommendations regarding the use
of materials for spraying fruit
trees, these spray notes also include
reports of the prevailing weather
conditions and their effect upon the
development and spread of certain
plant diseases and insects, as well
as reports concerning the prospects
for apple and peach crops in other
sections of the country.
Aside from mailing these spray
notes, the county agent and the
plant pathologist have been follow
ing the practice of visiting as many
orchardists as time permits each
season for the purpose of discussing
individual orchard problems. This
field work increases along with the
of the season, and it
continues to demand attention until
the spraying period is over.
Although an effort has been made
each year to include every fruit
grower in this spray service, no
doubt there are some growers who
are not receiving this information,
so those fruit farmers are. requested

I l planned to keep it there and
after a while cash in, but l figured
could get it if l needed it. Now
the papers are full of plans to help
the fellow who borrowed money to
buy a home. I'm sorry for him. It's
hard to lose out on a house. But
how about the fellow who loaned the
money? It's just as hard for him
to lose.
When / was a little ahead of the
game a few years ago l bought $5,-
900 worth of bonds of the city we
live in. 1t seemed a good safe thing
to do. Not n very. high rate of in
terest, of course. but safe! Sure,
nothing could be safer. l knew the
folks who lived here and, all in all,
they were a pretty fine lot and 1 al
ways kind of figured l was lending
to them. Now l read in the paper
that Congress is putting through a
bill authorizing cities to put off for
ten years payment of interest or
principal.
Maybe I'd have done better to buy
a new automobile with part of that
$4,000, I've driven the old Ford
good many miles.
Paid on the Mortgage
l don't know much about farming.
My father was farmer but he turn
ed the farm over to your Uncle John
to run for him and came to live in
the city about the time l was old
enough to go to high school.
When he died, was settled in the
city and John took the farm and
your Aunt and l had a mortgage for
our share of it.
John paid it off, bit by bit, and l
put that money by. Since then he's |
managed to keep pretty well out of
debt, he tells men. That's about all
l know of farm mortgages, but do |
have policies in three life insurance |
companies, and l suppose those COM
panies have loaned money on farms.
Most insurance companies do. Now
I see that Congress is monkeying |
with a bill to suspend all farm fore
closures for two years. My policies
don't seem so good as they once did.
Maybe I'll have to pay higher prem
iums. Maybe the annual dividend
which helps pay the premiums will
be cut.
1t isn't so easy paying premiums
and 1 sort of counted on those divi-
dends. I'm not getting any younger
and, as you know, my salary has
been cut and may be again.
Should Have Spent More
l used to wish l had a little more
life insurance. I'm not so sure now.
Maybe l ought to have taken that
trip to Europe your Mother and I
talked about so many years.
guess I've written too much, son,
but had to tell you how felt. I'm
like a man that kept the umbrella
ready for a rainy day and then when
it rained the umbrella had rusted
out.
Sometimes l think the real for
gotten man" in all this is the man
who tried to pay his bills and save
mis- money.
But I guess it'll straighten itself
out. Perhaps after all you'd better
not buy the car and put the money
in the bank. You're kind of young to
be running a car and little money

thGpIlNI from April
Here's a copy of letter writer
the other day by a father to his son
in college. How does it strike you
Read it and, if you agree with the
father, tear it out and mail the let
ter to your congressman.
My Dear Son;
In your last letter you said you
were keeping expenses down and
expected to finish up in June with
a slight surplus. You might, you
said, buy a second hand car from a
departing senior, if l didn't get
preachy and tell you to put the
money in your savings account.
A few years ago I'd have voted for
the savings account right off. All
your life I've been telling you that,
while money wasn't the only thing
in life, it was a mighty good thing to
have. I've always felt that it was
possible TO be happy without being
rich, but that it made for peace of
mind to have something laid away
for your old age.
Since you were small boy I've
tried to teach you to save a little,
to keep a bit ahead of the game.
You weren't very big when l got you
a savings bank and taught you to
put an occasional penny in it.
remember once how you hollered
when you dropped in a particularly
new and shiny cent and it dawned
on you that you couldn't get it back.
When you were big enough to have
an allowance l urged you to open
your savings bank account and put
away little from time to time.
Discouraged at Banks
But now I'm not so sure. I'm
feeling a good deal the way you did
when you figured you couldn't get
back your shiny cent.
If you have got this far in this let
ter you're probably asking yourself,
What's come over the old man?
Has he gone nuts?" Maybe "old
man" and gone nuts" aren't the
right phrases. l can't keep track OF
current slang)
The fact is that I've always prac-
ticed what preached. I've always
saved a little, always had an eye
on "the rainy day" and all that, and
now I'm wondering if I didn't make
a mistake.
Only Small Investments
I haven't any investments" in
any important sense of the word.
I've never made more than two or
three purchases that could be called
speculative, and in every one of
'em I've been so scared that I've
run out as soon as l saw small
profit or small loss.
In fact I've just been small time
saver and what's happened?
Well, I've always kept some money
in savings account, not lot but a
few hundred dollars, and now I'm
told that 1 can only draw out lit
tie of it at a time and that it'll be a
long time between draws. Why?
Well, / don't quite know but I sup
pose it's because some other man
who borrowed my money won't pay
or more likely just can't pay. Any
way seem to be the goat and 1 did
without a lot of things to keep that
money where l could get it when
needed it.
Then I've got some money in
Building and Loan. always thought
that was a good safe place. didn't
expect to take any money out on

WINS
FOR KNOWLES

Perry Knowles. rugged Indian
featherweight, is today basking in
the glory Of hard earned
victory over Jimmy Tramberia
last night at the Twin-City Arena.
Knowles drew the nod at the
end of eight rounds Of hard
fighting, but it took a Garrison
finish by the Indian to take the
verdict.
Going into the fifth round it
appeared that Knowles was due
for a defeat, but after four
rounds of slugging, at which the
Indian beat Tramberia at the
latter's own game, it was obvious
that Knowles had won.
In other bouts Henry Irving,
the Northeast wildcat, after start,
ing well, wilted and took a severe
beating from Roy Bailey; Arthur
De Beve was the victim of a
severe cut, when winning all the
way, and lost to joey Britten,
Baltimore, by a technical knock
out, when the boxing commits,
sion's physician stopped the bout;
Walter KirkWood lost question

and, Sammy Romano won by a

intended to fight off failing at
tendances, notably in some of the
key cities. The American League
is understood to employ a ball
that is 80 per cent faster than
the official National League ball,
the latter organization having
guessed wrong again to maintain
a record that is absolutely un.
blemished in this respect.
Thought Public Ready
Anyhow, the National League
thought the public was ready for
a return to the pitching and
base running era; so it took the
jack rabbit out of the ball and
gave the boys a pack mule.
OF course, Washington hasn't
been sitting up far into the night
to think up things for baseball
to do. But neither will it ignore
baseball entirely, since it can't
very consistently tell some green
grocer that he must play accord
ing to the new rules and. at the
same time, make none for a busi-
ness that probably represents, all
told, an investment of $4,000, 900.

They may not get around to it
this year, owing to certain agree
ments hastily framed in a mo-
ment of panic at Columbus last
December. Next year, the thing
can't miss, at least in the major
leagues. BY that time, the latter
are liable to act either with or
without compulsion, since every
body is committed to a program
of less work for more men and
besides with the 23-player limit in
force, the major leagues haven't
enough pitchers to finish the av-
erage doubleheader.
Dominate League
Clubs with four pitchers able to
work in turn are dominating the
two leagues. The rest are no.
where, the ineffectiveness of their
starters being exceeded only by
that of their relief pitching. In
fact, it's only a relief when they
stop.

be done once the present season
is out of the way is the introduc-
ton of new ball in the National
League as an emergency measure

BALL FANS LIKE.
''HUCk" STAHL
BY SID KATZNELL

Who's the most colorful base
ball player on the local sandlots?
Right off the bat "Huck" Stahls
name pops up in our mind. He
does more tricks on the ball field
to attract fans attention than
any other performer from miles
around.
We don't mean that he COM
mits mental mishaps. He's the
kind of player who will take
chances-daring chances. Huck
would jump into a mob of specta-
tors in an endeavor to snag a
foul fly. His speciality is a haz-
ardous head-on slide. Stahl is
out to win games and will let
nothing stand in his way.
Huck holds down shortStop for
the Dixie Pigs. who at present
are leading the Industrial loop.
He's considered one Of the best
hitters and fielders around this
section. Being a stocky fellow,
his hits go for extra bases the
majority of times.
Henry Gichner Talks
The most talkative player is
none other than Henry Gichner,
chubby catcher of the Gichner's
Iron Works. He talks opposing
players black and blue when
they come up to bat. Sometimes
even talks them into swinging at
bad balls.
Although he lacks the color of
both Stahl and Gichner, "Otts"
Zahn, stringbean second sacker
of the Iron Works team, is gifted
with a rare quality. It's grace.
He handles a grounder with the
grace of a toe dancer. "Otts"
occasionally gives the ball a long
ride.
Fleet outfielders around the
sandlotS are Ben Schneider. of
G. P. O.; Cody Shapiro, Investi-
CATION, and Tuck" Dalglish,
Union Printers. These fly hawks
can catch flies better than a
piece of flypaper.
Bobby Stevens Playing
Bobby Stevens who learned his
baseball at Western High School
and later played for three years
with Newark, Of the International
League, is playing shortstop for
Bethesda Firemen.
Stevens was beaned in the In
ternational Loop and has never
fully recovered. However, he
still can show these sandlotters
a thing or two about fielding
difficulty grounderS.

u
It comes to this department
that not few of the owners are
greatly bewildered and even a
little disillusioned of mankind in
general and the league in par
ticular. There is no telling what
they may do to attempt to awaken
the clients from prolonged apathy
or to get out and just let it go
at that. Some of them may do
the latter.
Generally bubbling over with
optimism for the game that has
been very good to him, Mr..
Thomas Hickey, the leagues presi-
dent, was no less so today when
approached on the gravity of the
situation.
"Of course" said Mr.. Hickey,
Eve didn't do so well during
the first six weeks of the sea-
son, but that was on account Of
the weather. Things have not
been so good in Milwaukee and
Kansas City, and only fair in
st. Paul. On the whole. how
ever. we are looking for a
fairly good season."
Won't Divulge Figures
Hickey refused to divulge any
figures to substantiate his optim-
ism. However. a check-up by
International News Service dis
closes that in the cities where
there is any interest at all in
the great game the attendance
is from 20 to 80 per cent lower
than it was last year, when it
was not so good, and that in the
cities where there is no interest
at all the situation is alarming.
In st. Paul the other day all ex-
cept II of the customers remained
away from the game. On another
day when Mr.. Louie Nahin, the
Brewers turnstile keeper, offered
a doubleheader in Milwaukee, all
but less than 300 of the clients
preferred either read about the
games or to forget about them en-
tirely.
Record Crowd Helps Little
Indianapolis is doing well enough,
all considered, but even with a
record crowd of 22,153 on hand
last Friday night, the attendance
is still well below 100000. In Kan
Sas City they're averaging 1900
on week days and 5000 on Sun
days, according to Bill Rogers,
the business manager, but no
more than $4,000 have attended
thus far and this is not enough.
In Louisville, the total to date IS
something around $4,000 or 20 per
cent below that. of last year.
Minneapolis feels it is lucky to
be only $4,000 behind last season,
and st. Paul, which suffered a
disastrous 1889, is already $4,000
behind in attendance and wonder.
