Next to improved plants, such as
hybrid corn, credit for the huge
increase in food production during
the war, and since, is given by
agricultural scientists to the in.
creased use of plant food.
By feeding their flowers and
vegetables adequately, home gar
deners can not only enjoy increased
yields, and higher quality, but can
reduce substantially the work in
volved in gardening. Expense of
feeding plants remains practically
at its prewar figure.
To get the most out of plant food,
the following methods of applica-
ton are recommended by V. A
Tiedjens, director of the Virginia
Truck experiment station, Norfolk,
Va.
l. On soils which are acid, test
ing below pH6, plant food should
be concentrated in bands or peck
cts, not touching plant roots but
within easy reach.
2. On sweet soils, testing above
pH6, spade plant food thoroughly
into the soil, evenly and deeply.
If you are in doubt about the
acidity of your garden soil, use the
first method, especially if the soil
contains considerable clay. To ap-
ply, stretch the line to mark the
row in which seeds are to be plant
ed. Then not less than two inches
away on either side, make a fur
row four inches deep. Pour plant
food into each furrow at the rate

The Red.PhiIlies Finish

|; Neither Bucky Walters of the
Reds nor Eddie Sawyer of the
4 Phillies care to be labelled a tail
end contender. But what teams can
they beat out?
The Phillies have a possible and
even probable star in young Richie
Ashburn, who batted 1888 last sea-
son and was the fastest man the
league has seen in some years.
Ashburn was injured after
playing III games, but he is
o. X. now and more than keen
to prove his first year was no
fiuke. The second year is al
ways the hardest. He easily
may be one of the games fu-
.are stars.
The Phillies have another kid in
Curt Simmons, an expensive left
handler who is only 10 years old.
Simmons won seven and dropped
10 games last season. Robin Roberts
won seven and dropped nine. Rob-
erts. only %, is another possible
star, maybe better than Simmons.
Watkins, from the Cubs, will
strengthen the Philly infield. This
team can be dangerous if it gets
better pitching than it picked up
through 1913. 1t is the type of team
that won't win any pennant or
finish in the first four, but it can
beat a lot of ball clubs and should
be an improvement over last year.
The Reds have a great ball
player and one Of baseball's
finest citizens In Bucky Walt
ers but, like the PhiIIies, their
strength is too spotty.
1t could be a different story if
Blackwell could hook up with Van
der Nicer, Wehmeier, Gumbert and
! ifensberger. They have good
pSWer hitter in Hank Sauer with
50 home runs to his credit last year,
and a good third baseman in Grady
Hatton.
Both the Reds and Phillies have
good ballplayers scattered here
and there but too many others wEo
are not too able.
But the fact that teams az
good as the Reds and Phillies
should be scrapping 1t out for
ast place proves the balance of

Grantland Rice the logical candi-
bates for the bottom spot.
This seems to be rather a shame.
Eddie Sawyer of the Phillies and
lucky Walters of the Reds are two
popular managers and they have
number of good ballplayers-ex-
cellent ballplayers.
Here are a few who could help
any ball club:
Reds-Ewell Blackwell, Johnny
Wander Nicer, Ken Raffensberger,
Herman Wehmeier and Harry
Gumbert-all good pitchers; Ray
Lamanno, Ray Mueller, Virgil Stall
cup, Johnny Wyrostek, Hank Sauer,
danny Litwhiler and frankie
saumholtz-all good ballplayers.
The Phillies Robin Roberts,
Schoolboy Rowe, Blk Donnelly,
Curt Simmons, Ken Heintzelman,
Hank Borowy-pretty good pitch
ers; Ed Watkins, Dick Sisler, Gran
vile Hammer, Richie Ashburn, Del
Ennis, Johnny Blatnik and Bert
Haas-pretty good ballplayers.
This doesn't include a num-
Der of lively-looking rockies who
could help quite bit.
But, unfortunately for the Reds,
Ewell Blackwell, their crack pitch
er, is just recovering from sore
arm and a kidney operation. The
Phillies have too many young
pitchers who still need more expert
ence.
Blackwell's early absence and
his dubious fate is heavy blow
to the Reds since the six foot, Six
inch star is one of baseball's best.
He would be good for between %
and IS victories, even with the
pitchers who need experience.
Pitchers of this type are just
q trifle rarer than a green
rhinoceros or a blue tiger.

ing with breakable bottles, no ster-
ilizing. You simply scissor off con-
tanners from a roll of pre-sterilized
plastic tube and fill with the baby's
formula.
Now no one can say I'm old
fashioned, so asked my neighbours
pediatrician about the new nurser.
! was told that after much expert

nurse had developed not only new
product, but actually an entirely
new method of infant feeding {.
the closest approach to natures
own way.
Shellie bottles are sterile, dispos-
able, and collapsible. And, accord
ing to doctors, those three words
tell the whole storyi Since the
bottles are sterile, there's no time,
energy, or temper wasted in endless
cleaning or handling clumsy ster-
ilizer equipment. You use disposal
bottle once and throw it away.
"Collapsible" means that the major
cause of air collie in babies is elm
mated because the flexible bottle
collapses as the formula is with
drGwn-no vacuum can form. Baby
doesn't have to fight for his dinner
against a partial vacuum pressure
as with glass bottles. With disposal
bottles the formula drips steadily
until the container is emptied and
collapsed 3. easily, naturally, and
with the nurser in any position.

They were proletarians of unskilled categories and lived in slums where the land- lords squeeze the lives out of the working class. So Harry Hershfield is not satisfied with his class. He becomes bourgeois. He makes himself a famous journalist. Not being class conscious, he devotes himself to charity. Here that gives him a big name and also banquet.
