The Brussels Post, 1950-1-25, Page 6Plan Grano reas To Suit Your. 1L bthiloint Au each individual property sing - beets a different style of landeeaping, only general rules for ornamental planting can be made. Is must be left to the individual to assess the possibilities for beautification—and the defects—and emphasize the For- tner and srrten the latter by the proper use of shrubs and trees. The tape of architecture of the house, the position and character of trees and shrubs /Weedy on the grounds, the dope and general ehar- acteristics of the land and any nat- ural element of beauty must be taken into consideration, when working ant the overall plan, says N'. T. Blair, in charge of orna- mental gardening, Dominion, Experi- mental Station. Certain %ielvs within the grounds, such as boundary fences. garage and back areas, as well as vie'w's outside of the grounds of the same nature, ehenild be either wholly or part(, screened by ornamental planting,. On the other band, pleasing vista; outside the grounds should he preserved in such a man- ner that they can be viewed from those portions of the house and grounds where the famiy spends most of the leisure time. Ornamental plantings then should conceal de- fects and emphasize those elements which are most pleasing. Avoid straight lines wherever,pos- sible and strive to produce a natural and graceful effect rather than an effort. man-made ffo t, Plant artificial, a r using the shrubs in groups, geveral s specimens of a few varieties only, rather than one specimen only of a number of varieties. A 'd meaningless isolated speci- )lens about the lawn. Naturalistic groups give character to the design, each group consisting of several plants. It is advisable to use the same varieties in repeated groups, but slightly different combinations. Plantings should be massed about the base of the buildings, leaving about one-third of the foundation visible; alao grouped about the curves and junctions of walks and drives, and massed about the boundaries and corners. Do not plant too close to build- ings. Three feet is about the mini- mum distance. Shrubs which when planted seemed lo have plenty of room often show signs of crotvdigg et maturity, If. all the shrubs required cannot be purchased immediately an alter-' native is to supplement the first planting with native species, such as spruce, pine, hemlock. replacing these with flowering shrubsas occa- sion permits. Finally, plant es early in the spring as possible so that shrubs may become established before the heat of summer. Play Becomes A Science—Very lucky children are those living around Parkside playground which was recently dedicated as a dreamland for children. Built by the fathers of Parkside's 430 children in their spare time, the playground features a cinder -block airplane, a ship, hurdles, :iritnnels and an ampitheater, Parkside gives the children a chance to use some imagination in making their own games, ' SFOJT B '1 IC 961 hie widely read—and highly vendable—aporia column Jim Cole- lScan Ulla of several suggestions havingbeen received td the effect that oldie Feodger's name should los ])eluded la Hockey's Hall of ]dame down in Kingston. And that ie one suggestion that really makes manes especially when we think of some who have been nominated to that game Hall of Fams—pertioular- %those whose main contribution to s eause of hockey was scoffing free meals at the annual banquets, and occupying front row pews (also on the guff) at all important games. * But that, es an obscure writer seamed Kipling used to say, is an- s other story, and needn't be gone into further here. * To get back to the aforesaid bar. Prodger. As we recall the last name bad 'an "S” on the end of it— Prodgers—and the "Goldie" was a label tagged on to him because of the color of his locks, which were slightly on the ruddy side. But as to those points we may be mistaken. Memory has a way of getting tricky as to minor details after so many years. * * * , But our recollection d`f his play- ing ability is clear and distinct, and we would say—without fear of suc- cessful contradiction—that Goldie Prodgers, when he Was at tops, played hockey in a manner worthy of making him eligible for the Hall of Fame, or for any other hockey honor whatsoever. He played hoc- key in a manner that was highly delightful to the spectators—espec- ially if you happened to be betting on his team—and quite obnoxious to the opposition. * * * It was in the old 'Trolley League, which used to operate up Galt - Waterloo -Berlin way -'this was be- fore Berlin bacame Kitchener—that Prodgers first broke into the moneyed ranks. The money received probably wouldn't tempt a 15 -year- old Midget player to sign a contract nowadays — but what those lads lacked in lucre they more than made up for in experience. Anybody oper- ISSUE 3 — 1950 Ming in that loop had no need to look in next morning's papers to be sure he had been in a hockeyalae s the previous evening. as both play- ers and fans liked their sport rough and tough. * * * In 1914 Prodgers was with Que- bec—than a member of the Big League—and although promoters of that era preferred, in their publicity, to stress players' ability rattler than how much dough they were getting, Goldie, Bad Joe Hall and joe Ma- lone were supposed to be the high- est salaried athletes in the National Hockey Association, * * * It was even rumored—although most sensible folks scoffed at this as a gross exaggeration—that they were getting—hold your breathl— as much as two thousand dollars a season each. Just imagine. As much as a Branch Bank. Manager! * * 5 Mr. Prodgers was on no less than four championship teams in the space of five years—which should, give you the idea that he was con- siderably better than a rate, hand,, as teams didn't tote along much dead -wood in that rude era. He helped win championships with—in addition to the Quebec Bulldogs— Victoria and Les Canadiens. * * * In addition Prodgers was a nteul- ber — and by no means the least scintillating—of an outfit which many think was just about the fitt- est hockey aggregation ever as- sembled under one tent. That was the famous 228th Battalion team, back in the days of the War to End All Wars. 11914-1918). * * 5 Prodgers was a winger on that team—although Ise played both for- ward and defence equally well dur- ing hic career. And in one unforget- table game against the Quebec Bull- dogs he scored no less than six goals for the soldiers. Included on the Bulldogs side were such stal- warts as Moose Johnson, Rusty Crawford, Joe Malone, Harry Mum- mery and Joe Hall and anybody tallying even twice against the likes of them had to have what it talces, * * * So, all things considered, we are of the opinion that Goldie Prodgers is decided( worthyof Hall of Fame y e recognition—and our thanks to Jim Coleman for )taking the suggestion —and also for the assist in getting out this piece about a real hockey player. --- @y Harold Arnett Miss China"—Arriving hiSan Francisco by air from Honolulu Mildred Wong, above. who holds the title "Miss China," was greeted with anartnful of roses, a ' Chips A“PIe ty Sent- :nines -ting figures were re- vealtdl Pi 41 recent meeting of the Potato As•o: iwtion Tonccrning the potato indw-tri, it is estimated that 20 ntill;un i inlacls. or 6 peer rent of «lit, total potain crop in the t'nited S;tatr s is annually enusluned in the ion../ of potato chips, approsimatc'.Iv 4 penndt u, make one pound of hips., !n Pennsylvania alone, po- tato chip n.rntt.initurers use.

GRASS, And as we started off by delving into fhd past, we might as well keep upwiththe storyof ' Ty. Cobb's much disputed batting average of 401 in the year 1922. Whether the Georgia Peach actually hit for that figure, or whether his real average was .399, probably doesn't very much matter at this time. Still here's how the mixup occurred, as describ- ed by Arthur Daley, * * * One drizzly afternoon the Tigers were playing the Yankees at the Polo Grounds. The press box in that era was in the lower stands be- hind Mime plate, unsheltered and at the mercy of the elements. Most of the baseball writers dashed back un- der the cover of the stands. But John Kieran, the official scorer, re- mained true to his trust. * 5 * Ty Cobb slashed oat an infield grounder that the shortstop didn't handle cleanly and the Georgia Peach was safe,at first. Kieran sig- nalled in the press box that he'd scored: the play as an error. * * * Among the refugees in the rear stands was Fred Lich, who was handling the box score for The Aa- 'sociated Press. He couldn't see Kieran's signal on the questionable play and, using his own judgment, called it a hit, And so it was record- ed in the "unofficial" statistics. On that basis Cobb's average at the year's end was .401. However, the erudite 111r. Kieran was the keeper of the "official" averages and his figures gave Cobb a mark of .399. * * * But Ban Johnson, the president of the American League, was s law un- to himself. He violated all the rules by accepting Lieb's "unofficial" box score of that game over Kieran's "official" one. The Baseball Writers Association screamed to high heaven at this left-handed insult to one of their best -liked and most competent members. However, Johnson could- n't be budged and that's how Cobb hit ,401 in 1922. 1,Voman motorist to friend: The part 1 don't like about parking is that noisy erash.

Still, I read with intense in- terest a report recently made by 12. D. Bligh, a Research Officer of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. His remarks are ad- dressed to the small fruit growers down in Nova Scotia, but what he recommends is applicable --most of it anyway—up here as well, 4 5 * Only the best land—he says -- should be chosen for a raspberry plantation. and it should be on a slope which provided good air and soil drainage, yet furnishes subsoil moisture. * * * It should not be exposed to *winds which may cause winter injury dur- ing zero temperatures, or battering and destruction of the fruit during harvest, The soil should be a deep, sandy loam, well -drained, early, and of high fertility and with a subsoil that is open and porous, permitting of drainage yet retentive of mois- ture at all times. Newly ploughed sod or land polluted with couch grass, yarrow or other perennial weeds should not be used for s rasp- berry plantation. * * * The soil should he manured or fertilized , deeply and thoroughly worked in the spring as early as soil conditions will permit, The canes to be planted should be head- ed back to one foot and set in rows eight feet apart with two feet be- tween the canes in the roe's. This requires 2722• canes to set an acre. This is recommended hedge -row * r5 * system. In large plantations every seventh row should be left unplanted to serve as a roadway for the distribu- tion of fertilizers, removal of prtln- ings, spraying of the plantation and the gathering of the frttit at harvest. * a * Weeds and raspberries are not congenial neighbours. To stimulate vigorous growth of the newly plant- ed canes, destroy weeds and con- serve soil moisture, frequent shal- low cultivations, with hand hoeing when necessary, should be practised until late summer.In the fruiting; plantations cultivation must cease when the berries begin to ripen. ss A cover crop of two parts of bar- ley and one of oats, at the rate of three bushels per acre, may be sown in August to reduce the supply of soil nutl'ients and moisture; this results in an. earlier maturity of the growing canes. Such a crop, when broken down and winter -killed, also provides a ground covering suffi- cient to check soil erosion, and by holding snow givek some winter protection to the raspberry roots. * * * Ten tons of barnyard manure with 500 pounds of 20 cent superphos- phate or 1000 pounds of 642-6 fer- tilizer per acre should be applied annually in the spring and shallow- ly ploughed down, with the cultiva- tion and cover -crop system outlined above repeated. Mulching for rasp- berries is stillexperimentalm the stage, * 5 * The fruiting canes of the red rasp- berry are renewed annually. Those grown one year, bear the following • year and then die. Their removal immediately after the berry harvest is advocated. When the plantation has develop- ed a hedge -row of canes they should be thinned. The width of the row should be two feet, the better canes being Left six 'inches apart and the smaller ones removed by cutting at ground level Or dug for planting, The canes left for fruiting should be tipped at five feet if taller, At the present time it will cost about $200 to establish an acre plantation of raspberries, of which $136 is for the canes. After the plantation is established the cost per acre will approximate $200 annually for care, growing and the harvest- ing of the crop.
