In journeying from bloom to bloom In
search of nectar the bees gather pollen
on their legs and body and inadvert-
emily deposit it on the flowers. Thus
Is effected the pollination Of most fruit
plants. Without pollination there
would be no development of fruit in
most cases. The structure Of the fiow-
ers often favor cross-pollination by
bees-that is, the pollen-receiungs
pistils extend outward beyond the pol.
len-bearing anthers. The bee is al
most obliged to contact the pistil.
In vegetables many species are, on
the other hand, perfectly able to set
fruit without any insect visitors. This
Is true Of the tomato, bean and pea.
With the cantaloupe, watermelon and
cucumber, bees are again necessary
because the flowers are either male or
female and some agent is obliged to
transfer the pollen from flower to
flower. The whole subject Of pollina-
ton Is fascinating, and, strangely
enough, it Is only a comparatively
few centuries ago that man first dis
covered the act of sex in plants, al
though the practical necessity of pol
lination was recognized ages ago by
the Arabs working with dates.
Sweetpea Growing.
THIS wonderfully fragrant and de-
sirable plant is out of its optimum
growing region in this vicinity and one
fails to find sweetpeas in every garden,
as is the situation in Northern gardens.
Every time that one opens a flower
seed catalogue and sees the beautiful
sweetpeas it is a temptation to try
again, but the results are not worth
while. Just as the plants begin to
bloom hot weather comes and that Is
the end. Those who have had gardens
OF sweetpeas, asters and snapdragon
in their home States are certain to at
tempt their culture here for awhile
It Is better to concentrate on plants
that thrive here, namely, narcissus
iris, dahlias, roses and the like. DR.
D. N. Shoemaker, past president OF

garden beauty. For example, Nor.
rows honeysuckle yields an annual
crop OF small, red berries that are
eaten freely by various birds. The
red-fruited forms of Viburnum are
also favorite foods. A raspberry plant
or two placed in less conspicuous
situation will be well appreciated
and in late Fall the red-fruited haw.
thorns combine both beauty and util.
ity. II food plants are numerous the
birds will be more inclined to nest
In the vicinity and 1t will not be an
all one-sided proposition, because the
birds will pick up many a harmful
insect as well as berries and fruits.

 New York, April 11.-(UP).- Marcel Moulin-Rouge, this depart ments ear to the ground in Paris, informed us in 8 lengthy dispatch today that France is pulling wires with both hands in an effort to displace Japan as the opponent for the United States in the Olympic exhibition baseball game at Berlin.
 Tt took twenty years for base ball to develop any following at all in France" wires M. Moulin Rouge, but today there is soundly en- trenched national federation, and seven teams which play 8 regular league schedule. George Bruin, fed eration president, wrote Avery Brundage, head of the American Olympic committee, concerning the possibility of 8 game between France and the United States, and Brundage replied that he would gladly arrange such game if the French could produce team skill full enough to make the game inter esting. M. Bruni immediately called TOT extra practlce SeSSlOIlS, ana eA- pressed the belief that France would have a first class team by August" !"
 M. Marcel said that much of baseball's slang had been translated into French, and that the fans favorite term for an umpire when he called play against the home side was "voleur aveugle," or blind robber. The old phrase slide. Kelly, slide" is barely recognizable as "glizzez Monsieur Kelly, glizzez!"
 Knowing that my background, of French baseball was scanty, M. Moulin Rouge thoughtfully furnish ed me with facts of its beginning. The game was imported by Ameri- can soldiers during the war, and French youngsters hanging around

T0dayS Sports Parude

the camps were taught its rudi- mentS. When the A. E. F. went home the soldiers left their bats, balls and gloves. It wasn't long be- fore the French boys, mode adept with their feet than with their hands, developed a hybrid game wherein the baseball was used as a sort of football, and thrown by 8 lifting motion of the feet. Thsi method of play died out after a few years, but if you are curious as to what 1t was like you might pay a visit to the Brooklyn Dodgers when they visit your city.
 M. Moulin -Roughe said the fea- ture of French play was the mag nificent fielding, and "that it is nothing for team to execute triple play after triple play. French hit ting is only fair, he said.
 "The players lack the build to hit the ball like Babe Ruth, but they are demons, simply demons, on the base paths. once they get on basen nothing can hold them back"
 Not even the fact that the base ahead of them is occupied, M. Moulin Rouge?
 The biggest problem of the French teams, M. Marcel said, was lack of pitchers.
 "The pitchers seem more intent upon speed than curves, and good batter has only to wait for one to float up to the plate to lam 1t very far, indeed. But the French pro- motors will not be discouraged. They have read Of the tremendous crowds and gate receipts of the Am- erican World Series, and are de- termined to break in on the gold mine."
 If France does develop great base ball teams, 8 riot of color will be added to the game. In fact, one might almost say colorful riot will be addde, for the French sports customer is probably the most boisterous in the world. When he objects he objects. Not so long ago French boxing crowd, displeased with the decision of the referee, dis played its wrath by completely completely wrecking the stadium and then setting fire to the ruins Just what the French bleacher boys would do to an umpire who called the hometown favorite out at the plate in a close game, is something only man who had been through the third degree could imagine.

 New York, April 11-(UP)-H the Brooklyn Dodgers were in the Amer ican league, young Buddy Hassett might make the Yankees sorry they ever sold him. For the third straight time this spring, Hassett's hitting enabled the Dodgers to beat the Tanks, who owned him until a few weeks ago.
