all cases, won the day. and after
1850 there was accumulated sufficient
knowledge for planters to put many
acres under cultivation. New Jersey
made the cranberry plunge in 1845,
Wisconsin in 1874 and Oregon in
1885.
Going into the cranberry-growing
business requires capital. in fact,
about $500 per acre. The fruit has
very decided needs. and they are sup
piled in certain parts of the country,
where there is an acid peat soil.
There must be an ample and con-
slant water supply, for irrigation, If
droughts appear, and for flooding the
plants against insect pests and early
frosts. The swamp used for the
cranberry field must be capable of
being drained to depth of 18 inches
The climate must afford fairly cool
summers. The cranberry cannot be
successfully grown farther south than
New Jersey. An expert grower must
know by experience what to do when
insects, disease, foods or frost threaten
his crop, and so he becomes very spe-
cialized in his chosen type of farming.
Three types of cranberry are grown
successfully in the United States-the
common, large fruited one; the moss,
gray, speckled or small cranberry, and
the European one. Wild ones are
found in many. parts of the United
States, where there are peat deposits
and swamps. Cranberries are close
cousins to the huckleberries and blue
berries.
The root system of the cranberry
sets it apart from that of any other
farm crop. It has q mass Of fine
fibrous roots that have no root hairs.
These roots are to be found on the
upper or inches of soil, which
they occupy entirely. On well-drained,
sandy soil they may 60 deeper. The
roots will not grow under water,
though they can live under water for
some time. The cranberry vine is
made up Of uprights and runners.
The uprights never bloom the first
year, but viii the second. Each blos-
som has q slender pistil surrounded
by five stamens. These have wee
openings at the ends. From these
tiny exits minute grains of pollen
come to fertilize the flowers.
Bees are the most important agents.
Bumblebees and honeybees take over
this work In Massachusetts,. In Wis
consin, where these industrious as
sistants are scarce, the flowers had to
perform this duty for themselves.
After the flowers have been ferti-
lized with pollen, the petals and sta
mems drop on. The berry grows and
natures in so to 80 days. In about
four years after planting q field will
come into full bearing.

RECKLESS DRIVER
GETS 9O.DAY TERM
Increased Penalty Invoked First
Time by Judge on Plea
of Guilty,

The increased maximum penalty
for reckless driving provided by the
last session of Congress was invoked
for the first time by Judge Isaac R.
Hit in Police Court today in sentenc-
ing Johnnie Smith, %, colored. It's
Lamont street, to 80 days in jail.
Smith had pleaded guilty.
Judge Hit acted after George D,
Nelson, assistant corporation counsel,
described an accident at Eighth and
T streets July % in which six persons
were injured when taxicab, driven
by Smith and being chased by police,
collided with car operated by Myer
GlaSSman of Baltimore.
THE new maximum penalty Of $3.50
or 30 days in jail is more commensu-
rate with the seriousness of this type
of violation than was the former
maximum of $100 or 80 days in JAIL"
Judge Hit declared.
According to the statements fur
nished by officers and Glassman,
Smith was being chased by a police
scout car at so miles an hour when
the accident occurred. Following the
crash, Smith jumped from his taxi
cab and fled on foot, officers stated.
Judge Hit also assessed Smith 60
days in jail on charge of leaving
after colliding and 80 days in jail
for operating without a permit. He
previously had been sentenced to pay
SIS fine or spend 80 days in jail
on a charge of operating a taxicab

SPY PLOT CHARGES
HIT BY JAPANESE
FarnsWorth Conspiracy A.

Says Spokesman.

Action Of the District grand jury
in naming two japanese naval officers
as co-conspirators in an alleged spy
plot here is embarrassing" to Japan,
according to an Associated Press dis
patch today from Toxic.
The indictment charged former
Lieut.. Comdr. John S. Farnsworth,
U. S. N, with plotting to sell Amer
lean naval secrets to Japan. and
named Comdr. Yosiyuki Itimiya and
Lieut. Comdr Okira Yamaki. both of
the Japanese navy, as his fellow con-
spirators.
A japanese naval spokesman told
the Associated Press the incident is
admittedly embarrassing, but dis
claimed responsibility.
Now on Duty in Toxic.
The spokesman acknowledged the
two officers formerly served in Wash
ington and now are assigned to duty
in Toxic.
In America, as in Japan and else
where, there are always unscrupulous
persons trying to sell foreign attaches
worthless information, he said. AL
though our hands are clean in these
cases, stories published in America are
admittedly embarrassing to the Japa-
nesse navy.
Yesterdays indictment. the second
against FarnsWorth, accused him of
meeting the two foreign naval officers
several times while they were serving
as assistant naval attaches at the
japanese Embassy here.
japanese Not Indicted.
Although named in the bill, the
japanese were not indicted, officials
taking the view they were protected
by diplomatic immunity.
The first indictment accused Farms
worth of turning over to the japanese
confidential publication entitled
The Service of Information and Sc.
curity" The second indictment con-
tanned a blanket conspiracy charge
and did not allege the sale of any
specific documents.
Farnsworth. who IS being held in the
District Jail in lieu of 10000 bail, was
dismissed from the Navy in 1927.
