Gardeners are finding that
mulching the garden does much
to improve its productiveness
as well as appearance. Plants
do grow better and by con-
trolling the weeds the general
appearance is vastly improved.
There are other benefits of
mulching which include con-
serving moisture, lowering soil
temperatures, maintaining the
humus content of the soil, and
helping to keep the soil struc-
ture open so that both air and
moisture can penetrate to the
root area. However, 1t is the
visible effects that most gar
deners appreciate, especially
during the heat Of the summer
when hoeing and weed pulling
are tiresome to say the least.
There are many kinds of
mulching materials now avail
able to the home gardener.
Each has certain advantages
and disadvantages. Perhaps the
most important point is not the
kind but rather that one or
more be used.
The sphagnum moss has long
been considered the number one
mulching material. 1t is readily
available, and while bit dusty
to handle, does give the bed
surface an attractive appear
ance. However, it does crust in
our hot humid summers and
this can be fatal to the mulched
plants because q crust excludes
both air and moisture. This
might be overcome by mixing
with some other material. An
inch layer is adequate in most
situations.
Rotted sawdust has much the
same properties as the peat
moss except that nitrogen
should be added to all beds
mulched with it to offset the
needs of the bacteria which
decompose it. If the nitrogen
is not supplied then they rob
the soil and the plants soon
show nitrogen deficiency. Also,
sawdust like the peatmoss will
crust during hot muggy periods.
Rotted sawdust has a fairly at
tractive appearance, while fresh
sawdust is conspicuous.
Pine bark (tan BARK is one
of the newer materials to be
had in many garden supply
stores. It has an attractive ap-
pearance when spread on bed
or pathway. The pinebark is
probably the longer lasting of
the mulching materials, is
coarse enough to permit air and
moisture to penetrate, and does
not require the addition of
nitrogen. An inch layer is
usually adequate to control the
weeds.
Sugar cane bagasse is not
widely used as a mulch since
it has not received the pub
licity needed to encourage its
use. It is available in bales, is
coarse enough to prevent crust
ing, but does require the ad-
dition of nitrogen. The light
color may make it Objectionable
to some. An inch or Ia inch
layer is adequate for most weed
problems.
Pine needles are sometimes

All four pronounced their teams

Parker said his Steelers were

stressed running and no contact
sessions for the lack of injuries.

whom the Lions obtained from
the Rams last month, ran at top
speed Monday for the first time.
Defensive end Bob Gdlcullen,
linebacker Larry Morris and
back Charlie BivinS were taken
off the Bears injured list. Halas
said middle inebacker Tom Bet

Williams Mark
For Home Runs
Is Tied By Hall
BY FRED DOWN
UPI Sports Writer

Jimmie Hall was 18 months old
when Boston Red Sox slugger Ted
Williams hit 81 homers in 1889
and set an American League rec
ord for rockies.
Today Hall, a free-swinging
lefty from Mount Holly. NC, has
equalled the great batsrnan'S S
mark and has IL games left in
which to set new standard. And
the way Hall and his Minnesota
Twin teammates hit homers,
there's little doubt that he'll
make it.
The six-foot, 175-pound Hall hit
his 3Oth and 31st homers of the
season Monday night to pace the
Twins to a IA victory over the
Cleveland Indians. Halls homers
also enabled the Twins to tie the
major league record of three
players on one team with 80 or
more homers. With 2O3 homers
for the season, the Twins also
are likely to wind up second only
to the 1861 New York Yankees,
who set the major league mark
of 24O homers in a season.
The Indians took a 80 lead on
early homers by Vic Davalillo
and Bob Chance but Bob Allison
homered for the Twins in the
fourth and Hall hit his first of
the game in the sixth. Halls Sec
ond homer tied the score in the
eighth inning and the Twins went
on to score four more runs to
give Bill Pleis his sixth win of
the season.
Minnesota's three Schooner
sluggers are Harmon Killebrew
(37), Allison (33) and Hall. The
major league record for homers
by a rookie is SO and is held by
Wally Berger and Frank Robin
son.
The Kansas City Athletics de-
layed the Yankees march toward
a fourth straight pennant, rs, the
Chicago White Sox beat the Bal
timore Orioles, "a, the Detroit tt
gers swept the Washington Sena-
tors, 10 and 1877, and the Boston

philadelphia Eagles)
PHILADELPHIA CUPID The
quarterback mutiny is settled and
coach Nick Skorich of the Phila-
delphia Eagles has turned to
such earthly problems as winning
the Eastern Conference title in
the National Football League and
maybe all of the marbles in the
final championship game.
Whether the 24-hour revolt of
quarterbacks Sonny Jurgensen
and King Hill in their front office
contract dispute last week will
effect the team remains a mat
ter of conjecture.
Jurgensen and Hill, who walked
out of the Hershey, Pa, training
camp without notification last
Wednesday to compel contract
signings, insist e d when they
signed Thursday that the action
would not damage the morale of
the team.
But it obviously jolted manage
ment and Skorich. Too, it came
at a time when the Eagles were
high on themselves, on their
rookie crop, and when they felt
they had a whale of chance
10 grab the eastern title they be-
Ieved up for grabs.
Team Improved
We're b etter off than we
were last year." Skorich said on
the overall makeup of the club.
1--WE have more depth than
we've had in some time, particu-
larly with our running backs.
Now if a back is hurt, we won't
have the trouble we had before
in replacing him.
I'VE have fine pass receivers,
and we have bigger guards 10
protect the passers and to make
pull-outs and block for the run
ners. We should be right up in
what looks like a wide-open race
in the East"
Many of the backs - Jurgen-
sen, Tommy Mcdonald, Timmy
Brown, a healthy Ted Dean, an
improved Theron Sapp and an in
jured Clarence Peaks who might
be ready for the second game -
are familiar.
The new mobile units among
the ball carriers features Paul
Dudley, picked up in trade with
the New York Giants, and rookie
Tom Woodeshick from West Vir-
ginia.
Five May Start
Other rockies will be scattered
through the lineup. There might
be five rookie starters, including
pass catching Ron Goodwin at
end, 25O-pound t. exile Dave
Graham, who is surprising five
year veteran Jim McCusker, and
Jimmy Skaggs, who sat out all
of last season after camp in
jury, on the offensive line.
The defensive line shows Riley
Gunnels, one Of the leagues best.
as the only holdover. There's Bill
Quinlan from the Packers and
Frank Fuller from the Cardinals
balancing with Jerry Mazzanti, a
first year man from Arkansas.
The middle linebacker could be
rookie Lee Roy Galley, who the
coaching staff thinks has to be
regarded as one of the finest in
the league.
The secondary includes the IA
miliar Don Burroughs. Irv Cross,
Jimmy Carr and Ben Scott. with
veteran lin e b a ckers Make
Baughan and Bob Harrison. The
Eagles also came up with a rook-
lie kicker to replace the departed
Bobby Walston. The new three
pointer is Mike Clark, Of the Tex
as Aggies, signed as free agent
and a ready booter from all dis
tances.
Korich Is pleased with the run
ming prospects. the pass receiv-
ing potential of Pete Retzlaff,
Mcdonald, Goodwin and all of the
other backs, and the defense pos
