OUR NEAR NORTH side
By L. WALKER

AT the many requests OF The
members of the near North Side,
the Northside Auxiliary petition
ed the curtailment Of the trans
portation services via Clybourne
Avenue, Orleans Street, Frank
lin Street into the Loop. After
siX-thirty Monday through Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday.
The Auxiliary's chairman, Leo
H. Reese, along with John Gud-
ner, Daisy Curry, Beatrice La
Mari, as committee, had two
conferences with Mr.. Keiser of
the management department OF
the CTA.
After the. first conference at
which the committee presented
their reason or restoration Of
services, Mr.. Keiser asked that
the committee return III one week
pending another investigation
and check. The committee met
following the scrutiny, and Mr..
Keiser revealed to them that in
view Of the prevailing conditions
throughout the city, the near
North Side area had services
superior to many Of the other
areas.
The Auxiliary's committee
still maintained that their area in
view of the great populace was
was inconvinienced to a degree
that is almost inhuman and
especially to the women at night
who have to walk as a resule of
the curtailment, four tc five
blocks, making them easy prey
for providers, endangering their
lives and possessions.
The chairman, Mr.. Reese,
stated that although the main
purpose was defeated, the pro-
ject as whole was not in vain.
as it afforded the petitioners to
a liberal education in petitioning.
Also a new awakening spirit
among many of the members Of
the community. AS The new year
dawns, the Auxiliary has many
ideas for better community in
1850.

During the holiday season
everyone the country over was
raveing about Rudolph, the red

in Chicago we had a loop full of
them. Did you see them leaping
over the lamp posts all along
Street? Big albino deers with
little pink noses.

Potato Seed Pods Fool Many Persons
Who Think Them Tomato Fruits

Apparently there are lots Of
strange potatoes being grown this
season-potatoes that insist on
bearing small tomatoes.
We have them, too, on The 40
Acres. The joker is that the little
tomatoes are not tomatoes at all,
but simply the seed pods of the
potatoes. 7 am sure about this,
because I was told by DR.. F. j.
Stevenson of the Plant Industry
Station at Beltsville, Md.
When I talked to DR.. Stevenson
the other day. he was ready for
me. So many potato growers have
had tomatoes" on their vines and
have called DR.. Stevenson's de-
partment that he had the story
of potatoes and their fruit mimeo-
graphed.
Now when he gets a call from
some gardener who has "toma-
toes" growing on potato vines, all
he has to do is slip a, mimeo-
Igraphed sheet in an envelope and
send it of.
Lots of gardeners have gotten
pretty excited about their potato
tomatoes" Mr.. and Mrs. Ray r.
Strickler. who live down the
Valley at Harrisonburg. thought
they had something when they
noticed their potato vines yielding
tomatoes.
Mr.. Strickler noticed that the
potato tomatoes never matured
into tomatoes and blamed the
birds for eating them. He said
he supposed the birds found the
potato fruits tastier than those
on the tomato vines.
Mr.. Strickler thought he was get
ting the results Of crosS-pollina-
ton between his tomatoes and po-
tatoes. But II he had thought
q little longer. he would have
ruled out that theory. Because,
before you can get the final results
Of cross-pollination, you have to
let the plant 60 through the seed
stage. Pollen itself won't change
the fruit. If 1t could we would
never be able to plant anything

Since strong growth is desired,
add some fertilizer. 2 or 8 pounds
per 100 square feet, at the time of
seed sowing. The fertilizer is not
lost because as the green manures
decay the plant food is available
to the grass.
Four Winter Cover Crops.
Soil-bui1ding crops for sowing
in the fall include crimson clover,
common ryegrass, hairy vetch and
Abruzzi rye. The latter two are
usually planted together to pro-
vide volume and nitrogen.
Crimson clover Is usually plant
ed before mid-September, some
times between the rows Of vege-
tables in order that it get off to
an early start. Sow or 2 pounds
per 1000 square feet Of area.
inoculated before sowing. Keep
soil moist for termination. Turned
under by late April or early May
Common ryegrass is a widely
used soil builder. The thick,
f1brous roots provide much humus.
Sow in September, October or
early November, / to 2 pounds
per 1000 square feet. The rye
grass may be spaded under in
April, or before, if the tops are SO
high as to make covering difficult.
1t can be kept clipped at 3 or 4
inches during fall and early win
ter to provide a good looking
temporary lawn, but should be
allowed to grow rank In the spring
If the maximum green material
is to be turned under.
Hairy vetch and Abruzzi rye are
standbys among farmers as soil
builders. They may be sown
alone, but normally are planted
together. Plant as late as the end
OF November although greater
growth, hence greater benefits.
are obtained from planting earlier.
The hairy vetch seed should be
inoculated. Sow 2 pounds of hairy
Vetch and 2 pounds of Abruzzi
rye per 1000 square feet.
Summer Cover Crops.
In the spring after the winter
green manure crops have been
turned under, SOW the second or
summer crop because the seeding
OF lawn grasses in the spring is
most often wasted effort. Soybeans,
cowpeaS and Korean lespedeza
are standard summer soil build
ing crops. The soybeans may and
usually are troubled by the Mexi-
can bean beetle and although
they may be planted late and
make a huge growth, more
gardeners are inclined to favor
the lespedeza.
These three crops are legumes
and the seed should be inoculated.
All may be sown as soon as the
danger Of frost is past, usually
between May and Is. The
earlier planting lets them get
ahead Of the weeds and, of course
II they are to be turned under
early in the summer (early
August), early planting is essential
for maximum growth. The cow
peas will do best in light shade
and are the only really success
ful cover crop for shady tAght)
areas. ~,
Sow at these rates per 1000
square feet: Soybeans, 4 to G.:
cowpeas, 3 to 4, and Korean lespe-
deza, u to / pounds.

BY james BirchfieId-

with assurance that it would re-
produce itself.
DR.. Stevenson said few people
particularly in the South, have
ever seen the potato fruits and
seed pods. The reason they are
being seen more often now is be-
cause Of several new potato va
rietieS that have been released re-
Gently. These new varieties pro
duce seed pods quicker than the
old standbys.
Chances are that most Of those
finding tomatoes on their potato
vines are growing Katahdin po-
tatoes. The Katahdin Is one OF
the newer varieties that produce
an abundance Of seed pods.
I now have q new companion or
my morning walks. A rabbit has
taken up residence in q weed
thicket down by the front pasture,
and Of a morning when I go Jo
bring in the cows and horse, he
comes out to scamper along in
front of me.
He has grown quite tame, and
will Jump ahead and then stop to
wait until I come near him. When
we come to the end of his weed
patch, he leaves me, scampering
away to tend to his own affairs
I notice that he has made his
home close to the apple trees
looking ahead to the winter, ]
suppose.
