Curialfariwin j J I s | ROSES and THORNS 1 A friend out in the >vlndy city of Chicago wrltoa us to tell us our recent explosion relative to one Mister L)e Valera, the Spanish president of Ireland, caused her a lot of chuckles. She says Bridget Murphy In discussing the attitude of the Spanish boss of the good old Irish clan, said: "The boss has got his Irish - up again because the "fighting Irish" are still sitting out the war. He thinks he knows the answer to the tune of "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls', which goes somothing like this: "Where is the harp whose martial tunes, rang through the Halls of Tara? It's voice is hushed forever, by that Spaniard De Valera". * * The Maple Leafs are not going places so far this season. This, aoI cording to the dopsters on the press at Syracuse and Baltimore as well as the home town Toronto press lads , is due to the weak pitching staff Grimes has to offer. We had a hunch when the Leafs were here that Brandt was the only flinger. capable I of holding his own in the international. We still think so. ? Looks as if the Columbia Reds are going to make a good showing this year. After a shaky start in the preseason games, Cap Crosley has his men working well now and I believe the Reds can definitely be counted on to be right up with the leaders. * * * By the way?this is a secret so don't tell it. Abe Fennell,"- that grand old chap on the sport desk of the State, Is expecting a call from Uncle Sam soon. We sure will be sorry to see Abe go because he has been one great pal to this writer and to Camden in general. We finally summoned up courage sufficient to bring forth our steel twowheeled steed and pedal down the main drag. Of course we got a swell ribbing from the lads along the curb, but we Just grinned as we pedaled gayly along, dreamed of months ahead when this bike exercise would have reduced our bay window and restored the sylph?like we used to have many, many years ago. That is, to an extent. We'll never forget the first night after the first bike trip. Sleep was impossible because of those twinges in our legs and thighs. But we kept at It and now we can almost make the Broad street hill on high. Ain't we got fun! r- --ji Sport Potpourri BY THE SKIPPER With the widening of Broad street in the southern part of the city as far as the fair grounds and athletic fields, it seems to us that a process of facelifting might add greatly to the appearance of this avenue of entry into our bailiwick. * i For instance, take the city wood yard. Without any exception it is the ugliest layout on ?he street. We sometimes ponder the reason such an unsightly qaess was ever permitted to be placed $n a main highway when there are plenty of locations off the main traveled thoroughfares where it could have been placed. - Those areas adjacent to the intersection of Bull and Broad atreota constituted a part of the square that had been marked out many years ago by Joseph Kershaw. Instead of letting the areas west of the intersection out as cotton patches, why not convert them into respectable-looking parking areas. Heaven knows we need parking areas in that area for foot bail, fairs etc. More than, half the population of New York State is concentrated in New York City. There are 10 times as many barbers and hairdressers in the United States today as there were in 1850. A Vegetabu ' V ?nllirn ^ ja Laxative For Headache...

The field record of Boron goals was made several weeks ago by coach Harrison of the Caindeu Polo club. There are only four players who are in the live per gamo class, they being Harrison, DuDoso, Jack Daniels aud M. D. Hums. Hums' brilliant shooting performance was featured by doubles in the third and fifth chukkers with a single in the first. It was In the fifth with about three minutes to play that misfortune rapped on the door of the No. 1 Humbler star. % His favorite pony received a bad cut In the left rear leg following a brush with a pony ridden by Carl Lightfoot, and had to be led from the fiel(|. Hums was much concerned about his mount and ,took personal charge of first aid measures while the Hamblers completed the chukker with three players. Hums was back for the sixth. ~ - _ The Ramblers ran amuck on the dusty arona. Scoring In all but two periods. The Palmettos registered in but two. Hurus opened the scoring with a goal In the first period. He scored two more in the third which with a goal made by Harrison gave the Hamblers a 4 to 0 lead at half time. In the fourth period the Palmettos rallied to score two goals, DuHose and Charley Robertson doing the posting. The Ramblers scored one In the fourth but pushed over three markers in the fifth on two goals by Burns and one by DuBose. In the sixth a goal by Lightfoot added a point to the Palmetto total.

Mullen, Mr. Olln Warner states that he has had such good success with kudzu that he calls it "king of all haya". Mr. Warner, whoae farm la located on Route 1, Greenwood county, 8. C? had been improving hie pastures and developing a herd of cuttle for several yearn and felt the need of a permanent, dependable aourco of hay that wouldn't be affected by woather conditions. Kudzu aeemed to be the answer, no in the spring of 1939 he planted four uorea of land to kudzu that he had been producing from 30 to 40 bushels of corn per acre. The field was laid off for corn in rows four feet wide and approximately 400 pounda of complete fertilizer per acre wore applied. Kvery fourth row was bedded up for kudzu and tho crowns were then planted approximately 20 feet apart on the bed, using only 136 crowns per acre. The kudzu received the,, same cultivation as the intervening rows of corn. This field received no further treatmont and in the fall of 1941 Mr. Warner harvested 1 1-2 to 2 tons of cured hay per acre. Since March 1 of this year, 1942, Mr. Warner has harvested 80,000 kudzu crowns from this four acre plot and has sold them to farmers living in Lee and Kershaw counties. Although 135 crowns per' acre were planted (Soil ConBervatldn recommendations being 600 plants per acre) the farmer received the following returns from the four acres: The usual crop of corn in 1939. Seven tons of hay valued at $106.00 In 1941. * 80,000 crowns (1941 crop) valued at $660.00 in spring of 1942. Total for two years 1940-1941 $665.00. Total per acre per year $88.12. In addition to the above returns, there are enough crowns left on the soil to Insure a good stand of kudzu this year and by applying a small amount of fertilizer the hay yields will continue to average around two tons per acre and more crowns will be produced for sale In years to come. Mr. Warner states "The kudzu hay Is of excellent Quality and any Uv4? stock, mules, horses, and cows, eat It rekdJly and .stay in condition on __ it as well as on any hay I ever fed. Yes, I am sure it has paid me to -r ' plant kudzu on good land; In fact, it was my best cash crop in 1941." a - ?i Carries On Los Angeles ?
