GEN. ALLISON PRAISES
u.s.. PHONE SERVICE
Chief Signal Officer Of Army
Cites Value Of a Nation Wide,
lntegrated System

Signal Oficer Of the q. 8. Army. In
o hearing on the War Department
Appropriation Bill for 1887 before a
subcommittee Of the Committee on
Appropriations, made some interest
ing comments on this country's tele-
phone service and the organization
which furnished &c. During the
course Of his testimony General Al
nson said:
A Highly Trained Personnel
I'VE in this country have the
finest telephone communication in
the world. The American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, the parent
organization Of the various Bell
telephone units, controls the tele-
phonic communication Of this coun-
try. If you pick up the telephone
here on the desk and state that you
would like to speak to Mr.. John
Doe, who lives at 400 Market Street,
San Francisco, and that you do not
know his number, central would in
variably ask you to hold the phone.
In q few minutes, she would have
your party and II you knew the party
to whom you were talking, you could
recognize his voice. The reason for
this Is that the A. T. & T. Co. not
only prescribes the spacing Of the
boosting coils and repeating sta
lions, but they require that the per-
sonnet that sets up your circuit have
the highest degree Of training be-
fore they will ever permit them to
serve the public.
Technique Of Overseas Service
Likewise, II you should ask to
speak to London, your call would go
into the Long Linec once at New
York, where highly technical
trained personnel would decide, &C
cording to the season Of the year
and the time Of the day, whether to
give you an intermediate or a high
frequency radio circuit. II the for
mer, you would go out over Rocky
Point, Long Island; II the latter,
from their station at Lawrence
vile, near the coast Of New Jersey;
and when you said hello to London,
your reply would come through
Houlton, Maine, If by long wave;
and through Netcong, N. j., If by
short wave, and thence through the
underground telephone circuits back
to your instrument.
Value In an Emergency
"The high character Of service
rendered by this company Is made
possible only by q centralized CO.
ordination and supervision Of the
various integral units which make
up the system. Under its existing
organization and in its present high
state Of efficiency, its potential value
to the country in event Of grave
emergency is almost beyond concep-
ton. Any action which would tend
toward return to the old loose ar
rangement Of Independent telephone
companies would be decidedly detri-
mental to the cause Of national de-
Tense.
An Impartial Statement
ain making this statement, / wish
to say that I do not own a dollars
worth Of stock In the American
Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, but / am mindful of the won
derful service they rendered ma
tional defense during the World
War at time when I was person
ally charged with furnishing the
Signal Corps requirements for the
A. q. f."

IVY It'll the coming of the new year
Nv the farmer starts concentrating
w on crops he will plant in the
spring and summer. Usually the pro-
gressive farmer has planned his crops
well in advance and knows about what
will be planted in certain fields for three
or four years in advance. This is par
tichlarly true when his thoughts turn
to the growing of peas for canning pur-
poses.
Certain facts are known and recog-
nized as being essential to the successful
growing of peas. Probably the most
important of these is, that your land
must be either neutral or possibly bet
ter, just slightly acid. Peas will not
thrive in very acid soil. A field that
starts to burn" after peas have reached
the height of about five to eight inches
shows distinctly the effects of lack of
lime in the soil.
Lime can not be applied to the soil
only few days or weeks before seed
ing and produce anywhere near good
effects. 1t is fact that lime is very
slow TO act and contrary to belief, lime
does not move in the soil to any great
extent, except through the application of
mechanical means.
Lime should be applied to the soil
in early fall for the next springs crop.
Lime applied in December or January
for. March sowing is not always success
full. Even better than APPLICATION in the
early fall is the application of lime be-
fore you plant this years crop in order

TT OTBEDS and coldframes for
growing plants are indispensable
to many gardeners. They make
possible many things for the gardener
that otherwise he would not be able to
have. All gardeners, however, may NOT
need hotbeds or coldfranles as supple
nlentary aid in their gardening work.
The may not havey sufficient need to
justify the extra work; they may nor
have suitable place for construction
means of artificial heat may not be avail
able at justifable cost; and most irnpor-
tant of all, if many plants are wanted,
small greenhouse is much more valu-
able tothe gardener than a large hotbed.
Advantages of Greenhouse
III he advantages of a small greenhouse,
say 8 by IL feet that can be built for
SIoo or less, are so many that if the
funds available for construction will per-
init, the greenhouse is to be recommend
ed instead of the hotbed. A few of its
advantages are: (D heat for forcing
purposes can be generated cheaper by
coal than by the fermentation of manure,
or by electricity; (2) all cultural condi-
lions can be better controlled in green
house than in frames; 90 the labor ex-
penditure required on given area is less
in greenhouse than in frames; Cal the
shelter provided by the greenhouse per-
mits work to be done whenever desired
or needed, thus insuring better growing
conditions; 81 greenhouses can be used
throughout the entire year, while hot
beds can be used to advantage only dur
ing the spring, summer, and fall.
A few of the uses for hotbeds and
coldframes are as follows: (I) many

Growing Peas for a Profit
BY ROBERT W. PHILLIPS

to have your soil prepared for the fol-
lowing spring planting.
The importance of having a properly
prepared seed bed can not be empha-
sized too much. After you have your
land to the proper acidity, it is fruitless
to apply seed unless your land is well
worked up.
At sowing time work thoroughly
ahead of your drill with disc, drag and
scrub. BE sure your land is level.
With the use of regular commercial
fertilizer you should put it in the ground
about one week before sowing your seed.
If a cyanamid mixture is used you should
allow two days for every hundred
pounds used would recommend not
less than GOO pounds of either per acre.
If this is the first year your land has
been in peas it is well to use double
amount of incubation. After the first
year single dose is sufficient.
As yet we have not mentioned the type
of land best suited for the growing of
peas. The first essential is well drained
land. 1t does not have to be high, but
it does necessarily have to be well
drained. Cold or wet land is not suited
for this crop.
Peas react very favorably to stable
manure and requires land well supplied
with mumas.
The best recommendation | believe is
this: put peas in land you would con-
slider safe for the growing of good crop
of early potatoes. If you choose this
type of land ! believe you will get a
good crop of peas, except OF course pea
land must be properly lined.
Remember this, do not expect a
bumper crop the first year, it very sell
dom happens. Your second year Tin the
same piece of land) should be better
than the first and the third year should
be better than either the first or second.
If you are gambling man, put peas
in the same land four times. If you
don't want to take chance, prepare
another piece of land well in advance
and start new again. think you will
win in the long run.

VIRGINIAN TELLS
of FUZZLESS PEACH

A fussless peach, the equal of the
Georgia Belle, possessing a good flavor
and considered hardy enough for the eli
mate of Virginia has been developed by
DIR. F. w. Holman, horticulturist OF
the Virginia Agricultural Experiment
Station at V. P. l., Blacksburg.
The peach, in addition to being more
readily and comfortably eaten Eau
natural can be preserved whole and UNI
skinned, and DR.. HofMann believes the
smooth-skinned variety will be of great
value in the drying industry.
DIR. Holman in addressing the
thirty-frst annual convention of the
Tennessee State Horticultural Society
held in Cleveland, Tenn, said:
There is nothing so new or remark
able about a peach without that outer
covering which botanists dignity with the
term pubescence," DIR. Hoffman, said.
Oriental history and literature mention
them occasionally; but most of these
Oriental smooth-skinned peaches are
either too small or, in many cases, too
tender for commercial planting in the
United States"
DIR. HofMann, coming to the Vir-
ginia Agricultural Experiment Station in
1926, made crosses of several of the
standard American peaches, such as Ell
berta and Georgia Belle, with some of
the harder, smooth-skinned varieties of
Chinese origin. Further developments
of these ROSES have been made at
Blacksburg.
First generations of such crosses are
invariably fuzzy, but in some instances
the pubescence is not so heavy as that
of the fuzzy parents; and the size is
about the average of the sizes of the
two parents.
The second generation, if developed
in a number of different combinations,
has resulted in progeny which DIR.
HofMann regards as especially promis-
ing. In siez, it is as large as the Geor-
gia Belle-and it's fuzzles. He also
has under observation another large,
golden-yelIow, smooth-skinned, freestonc
hybrid.

otherwise could not; (2) both vegetables
and flowers can be started earlier; az
coldframes make ideal places for over
wintering many tender and semi-hardy
perennials and biennials; ca vegetables
such as lettuce radishes, ETC., can be
grown much earlier in the spring and
later in the fall; 50 frames provide a
convenient place to hold and harden-off
plants that have been transpIanted or
potted in greenhouse until weather
permits setting. them in the garden or
field.
Southern Exposure Desirable
Hotbeds and coldframes should be To-
Gated near building in which the gar
den tools may be kept. The beds and
frames should have southern exposure,
if possible, and be protected by build
ing, board fence, wall, or hedge. The
area occupied by the bed or frame
should be well drained and slightly
sloping.
Hotbeds and coldframes differ in that
the former are heated while the latter
are not. Coldframes are, Therefore, built
on top of the ground while hotbeds are
usually constructed in part at least be-
low the level of the ground so that heat
can be held in the soil more easily. Both
should be constructed so as to make use
of standard sash, 8 by feet, and so
placed that the length of the sash will
face south. The width of the bed may
be that of one sash or two or more. The
construction may be temporary or per-
1nanent; if temporary, boards should be
used. Permanent beds may be built of
brick or concrete.
The construction of pit for a hotbed
will depend on the type of heat used.
If manure is used, the pit should be at
least ~ feet deep, while six-inch ex-
cavation is sufficient for a bed to be
heated electrically.
Covering May Vary
The covering for the frames may be
glass substitute, of which there are sew
eral kinds on the market. Most of the
glass substitutes have proved to be salts
factory. The cheaper ones, of course,
are not as durable as the more expensive
materials. In extremely cold weather
the sash must have added protection,
such as burlap, straw mats, hay, etc.
Strawnlats may be bought for any size
hotbed, or old carpets may be used.
Hay or straw, however, is quite salts
factory, though somewhat less convenient
to handle.
Caring for hotbed is very exacting
if satisfactory results are expected or TO
be obtained If manure is used for hear,
the preparation of the bed must be made
with great care, so that proper heating
will result. If electricity is used to sup
ply heat, soil temperature may be easily
regulated. Air temperature is controlled
by the covering, ventilation, and amount
of sunlight. On days when the sun
plays hide-and-seek, hotbeds require al
most constant care in ventilating.
Time to Water Plants
How and when watering is done
probably has more influence on the con-
troll of diseases in the frame than any
other factor. Plants in the hotbed
should never be watered in the evening
or on cloudy days unless absolutely
necessary. Plants should always go in
to the night with dry leaves.

almost regretted he hadn't gone to Marian

him. Lots of things The depression seemed to
be wearing thin. He was buster than ever at
his foundry. More and more often Cynthia
was saying how dull Tom was. And then, one
day, Cynthia met young painter with the
body of a faun and the eyes of satyr. A little
later she announced that she was going to
Reno Which she did.
And left Tom Briggs heartbroken. Anyway,
he thought he was.
It's no fun for a man to be left to rattle
around alone in penthouse. Especially when
he's never been particularly fond of the pent-
house. But his lease had another year or so to
run and he decided he might as well stay there
as anywhere. He did have some vague idea
of moving back to Newark so he'd be nearer
his beloved foundry. But then a strange
thought came to him. The thought was that
perhaps he'd given too much time to his
business, too little to anything else. 1t was al
right to be devoted to business but it WASN'T
all right to let the business gobble you up
