Ground Crews Can Take I t

WHEN THEY ‘WERE at: the front everybody had to live out in the open. It was:wet and cold at the start, wet and cold at the end. The ground crew of 85 men really ‘went through hell. For they were bombed by day, miserably wet and cold by night, and constantly overworked; ‘When the’ pilots flew their Spitfires back to a desert airdrome for their much-deserved rest, their main concern was for their ground crews, who had been left up front to-care for the replacement squadron, “We're all right,” I heard at least half a dozen pilots say. “We can use the rest, but we're not in bad shape. It's those ground men that really need it and deserve it.” So “Windy” West went to: work, and a few days later six big transports flying in formation lanted at our field, and out of them climbed 85 weary ground mén. Replacements had arrived for them. They “have begun-their rest. And-all’s well that ends well.

Diversion While You Ride

THIS ERA of crowded busses and trolley cars is developing a new breed of operators. Instead of utte dire threats to get folks to move back, some of the Boys have developed a line of ad libbed patter that works much better, besides keeping the passengers in stitches. For instance, there’s one operator on the Central trackless line that packs ‘em on with such quips as : “Move to the rear, folks, before I lose my temper.” At the next stop: “Move up on tke roof, folks; that’s about the only place:left.” Then, just for]. variety: “Get your necks out of ‘the door; I'm going to close it,” or “If any of you folks want a seat, you In between, he offers Biblical quotations. The patter sounds a bit. corny, but the passengers seem to like it.

FRUIT DIVIDEND REQUIRES TIME

Crop Pays.

Only the gardener who owns his land or who has a long time lease on the property he is using for a garden should plant small fruits ‘and fruit trees. There are no fruits

same year they are planted. Everbearing strawberries planted in the early spring will produce a

{few berries during late summer and

early fall under favorable ' conditions, but the yield will not pay for a one year planting, “With - fair care 200 strawberry plants set in April should yield about 100 quarts of berries in June of the following year, according to Purdue university experts. Most berries give a crop the second year if two-year-old plants are set out. Blueberries, however, will

not come into bearing until thej

third year and will not reach full production until the sixth year. This crop prefers an acid soil. Currants and gooseberries also will make a crop the second year providing: the bushes set are not too young. Peach Tree Crop

When the nurseryman advertises three-year-old peach trees that: are} ready to bear, he does not mean that they will bear this year if set out this spring. These frees will produce a small crop the second

year.

Transplanting feiards plant growth. This is especially true when the roots of the plant or tree have reached a size where they must be pruned in order that they may ‘be lifted. It is better to plant two-year-old peach trees and let them .become|: well established than to plant older trees. Two-year-old peach and cherry trees can be expected to bear three years after setting. Buds should be removed from the peach trees if they appear the first year. Of the pear trees he has to offer, one nurseryman explains, “They bear young producing as much as three bushels the fifth year.”

. Apple Trees Slower

Apple trees are slower to reach the pearing age than any other fruit trees, ‘but once they have started (they will continue bearing until they reach a great age. From four to 10 years will be required for apple trees to start bearing according to the variety planted. The varieties Delicious and Yellow Transparent are two which will come into bearing about the fourth year. Careful checking of the claims of nationally known nurserymen in catalogs shows that the claims made are always figured under ideal conditions. ‘The production date and the amount of the ¢rop depend on careful planting, fertility of soil, years of growth and quality of the

It is: possible to ‘buy bearing age fruit trees and have them set but they are far too ‘expensive for the average man’s pocketbook. The cutting of the roots, necessary for transplanting, would tend to lower the quality of the fruit. a

Friday falls on April 25. Too late,} Mr. Irwin: says, for planting early potatoes. He recommends plant ing from February fo early April, so that the new potatoes will “set ‘on. before hot, Sy.

Seeds or plants are never put out when the soil is too wet. 2. Certain crops like peas, lettuce and radishes are planted as early,

3. Tender vegetables: ‘such as beans; ‘cucumbers, melons, tomatoes and others are not put out until the soil is’ warm and the danger of frost is over. ‘The catch to Mr. Irwin’s statement that planting by signs of the moon is all right, is that scientific planting tables for vegetables allow the gardener 20 to 30 days for planting different vegetables.
