several notches when he meets Lew
Transparent OF Baltimore In thu
feature eight-round match on to-

Arena.
Transparent has been around thia
fight game for some time and has
been in the ring with = lot Of I'M
portant fellows, including six cham.
pions or former champions, but de.
spite his experience he has no soft
touch in this Petro. Danny Is . good
puncher with lots Of IRE, although
he may lack some of the skill Trans
parenti has picked up In his years
Of campaigning.
Danny Picks His Spots.
Petro isn't particularly fast, but
he's a capable marksman who picks
his spots and then looses q chilling
punch. His left is billed as his most
potent weapon, but in his last fight
against Wayman Stewart he also
displayed bit OF power in his right.
He timed himself nicely. studiously
wearing down Stewart to get him In
shape for kayo punch, which hs
put over in the eighth round.
Petro still is a youngster as box
ing goes. having had only II pro.
fights. He won 13 Of them. His ono
loss was to Billy Reed, whom he
chilled in the first round Of . re.
match.
The veteran Transparent over
the years has topped such lads as.
Joey Archibald and Lou salica. both
former champions. This is balanced
by losses to others In the same class,
however, such as Willie Pep and
Harry Jeffra.

Charley last week showed himself

NEW YORK, April 12-Rochester,
as you probably have heard, is a
radio comedian, but he isn't kidding
about Burnt. Cork in this years
Kentucky Derby.
As a matter Of fact, the Negro
gagster-the right name is Eddie
Anderson-is one Of the very few
stage characters who hasn't entered
his gee-gee in the Derby Just for
the headlines.
So, If you're stabbing at some
thing "at a price" for the big May
day party, the solid, husky son Of
Mr.. Bones stands just As much
chance as the next fellow. When
the necklace OF roses is handed out,
it very well could be Rochester who
will reach over with his "Ya-a-s,
Boss" and pick 1t up.
The Cork was $500 yearling bar
gain and rang the cash register for
a neat $10,530 last year. He has
appeared 50 good in working right
on the Derby 'home grounds" these
last few weeks that he's even i'm
pressing the hardboots-who don't
impress easily, either with ordinary
horses or weak bourbon:
As a result, he's been put we'll up
among a set of dark horses who are
receiving considerable attention.
Among the others are the trio from
Mrs. Payne Whitney's Greentree
Stable-Noonday Sun, -Four Free
doms and Famous Victory; the pair
from William Dupont's Delaware
-Suncap and Supermont, from
among the first sons of Rosemont;
Mrs. Ethel v. Mars No Wrinkles.

Downs; Texas Ben Whitaker's Pops

ter campaigning; Townsend Mar
tins Bankrupt. the pet of the two
buck hunch players because Of his
name, and William Woodward's Bos-
suet, Trainer Sunny Jim Fttzsim-
mons hope for his fourth Derby win.
Bossuet was just another oat-
burner until he came charging along
to finish second In the Experimental
Handicap at Jamaica last Thurs
day.
OF all these, however, Burnt Cork
is the standout. His fanciest gallop-
ing last year came in the Prairie
State Stakes at Washington Park, In
which he was followed home by
Seven Hearts. He also holds a deci-
sion over Devils Thumb and he has
grown big and solid during his win
ter vacation.
Oddly enough, none of Mrs. Whit
ney's three top Derby horses ran in
her colors year ago. They came to
the Greentree barn through the war;

And Just to show that racing isn't

Hearing To Be Held

A public hearing on a bill to re-

The bill was introduced in the
General Assembly recently by the
Maryland Legislative Council and
is supported by the State League
of Women Voters.
"When world events are focusing
our attention on the privilege Of
free elections, any law which tends
to disenfranchise large numbers Of
citizens undermines constitutions
privileges. We believe residence
requirements, strictly enforced, are
necessary as safeguards against
fraudulent voting. The Constitution
of Maryland makes such a pro
vision, which would be unaffected
by the repeal of the law. It ha.
been found that the declaration O.
intentions law is not only undem
ocratic in principle, but that it i.
not uniformly followed throughout
the State.

Two dates which govern garden
operations in the spring are: The
date when all deep frost is out, and
the soil becomes dry enough to
spade; and the date after which
tender plants are reasonably safe
from frost.
Hardy plants, which are those
that stand light frosts without in
jury, can be sown as soon as the
ground can be worked; and this
date is dependent more often upon
rainfall than upon temperature.
Tender plants cannot be sown, or
set out, until danger Of frost is
over; and If they are started in
doors, or in hot-bed or cold frame,
the time to start them is from six
to eight weeks before the FROST
proof date.
Inquiry among gardeners in your
locality will establish the date
which is generally accepted as
frost-proof. The map which accom-
panies this article was prepared
from United States Department Of
Agriculture weather reports, to
show the average date Of the last
killing frost Of spring in various
cities.
This average date is not a FROST
proof date, because just as there
is no average man, there is no av-
erage weather. While in Chicago,
for example, the average date Of
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1943-02-04

the last frost over period of years
is May l, in many of those years
killing frosts occurred much later.
The latest recorded killing frcss
is likely to be thirty days later
than the average; but this date is
not often duplicated in any local
ity. There is always some risk
in gardening, and it cannot be
avoided. So gardeners must de-
termine on date somewhere in
between the average date of the
last frost, as given on tie map,
and the latest recorded frost, about
thirty days later.
Inquiry in your locality will
probably disclose that practice has
determined the reasonably safe
date for setting out tender plants.
In Chicago it is May Is, splitting
the difference between the aver
age date and latest recorded date.
If you have any trouble figuring
1t out for your own locality, con-
suit the nearest weather bureau,
and your gardening friends.
Hardy seeds may be sown out
doors with safety thirty days be.
for the average last frost date,
provided the frost is out of the
ground, and it is dry enough to
work. But never work wet soil,
no matter how eager you are to
get your Victory garden started.
Nothing can be gained in that way;
1t is sure to mean loss in the end.

The Fertilizer To Use
On Your Victory Garden

The prescribed Victory Garden
Fertilizer for use in 1943 has an
analysis of 1877 1870 nitrogen,
80 phosphorus, and TO potash),
according to Walter R. Ballard,
specialist in vegetable gardening
for the University of Maryland ex-
tension service.
In this fertilizer, Mr.. Ballard
says, 2h percent of the nitrogen
is derived from organic sources, the
remaining " percent being sup
piled from chemical origin. The
ceiling price on this fertilizer is
$4,000 a ton in ton lots and $4.O0
for 100 pounds in small lots.
Mr.. Ballard advises applying
from PA to 8 pounds of this fer
tilizer to each 100 square feet of
ground and it is desirable, he says,
that this be supplemented by ma
nures or compost whenever posi-
BILE. If both the solid and liquid
excrement of farm animals are
saved, it has been found that farm
manures contain approximately the
following percentages of nitrogen:
chicken, 1%o; sheep, so; horse,
so; hog and cow, slightly over
40.
This means, Mr.. Ballard points
out, means of boosting the per-
centage of nitrogen above that
available in the commercial fertil-
izer. In addition, the value of ma
nure as a source of humus and as
carrier and promoter of useful
organisms is important.
In view of the very large num-
Der of people who will attempt to
grow at least a portion Of their
vegetable needs next year, and the
fact that the supplies of both fer
tilizers and seeds are not unlimited
it is urged that careful planning
be done in advance of the planting
season. In that way, the results
are not only likely to be much more
satisfactory, but there will also be
much less chance that valuable ma.
terials and labor will be wasted.
