Small Garden Space Problems

IOLVED BY AIDING VEGE- TABLE TO GROW IN AIR.

. _

Economy of space becomes more and more of a pressing problem as gardening interest and enthusiasm increase. A gardener each year be- comes more ambitious to grow more craps. For this reason we find more and more frequently that cucumb- era are given a chance to grow in their natural manner as climbing vines and tomatoes are trained up- right to single stems.

Pole beans are growing in popularity because of the smaller space and much greater yield to be had from a hill of pole beans com- pared with ri. hill of bush beans The latter has the advantage of coming into crop earlier. Even the dwarf’ peas, given the support of a narrow length of chicken wire to

give their limited climbing nature‘

a change to manifest itself are found to do better and to give more ample space for companion crops to be planted between the rows and come on after the peas have gone their way.

Dwarf peas, allowed to sprawl over the ground, will cover 2 to 3 feet of space. S"; inches with a yirc support will be their ample ground area. Tomatoes may then be planted between the rows or iaicr root crops. which the peas, if allowed to rumble at will, would seize upon with their tenclrils and soon convert into a tangle.

It is advisable to save room and for superior quality crops to grow vining or trailing vegetables in an upright position. Poles and wire can be obtained very reasonably and once obtained, if given ordinary crrrr, can-be used for several sea- sons. ,

Cucumbers and pole beans may be grown as sunny porch vines as a novelty and for utility, having the crop where it can be picked from the back porch. The fine quality greenhouse cucumbers are grown on strings running vertically from the soil to the roof. They grow equally well trained the same way. out of doors.

Be on the lookout for trellis zaterfais and plenty of stout str-

Tourist Travel A To Jamaica

MONTREAL, April 28—Rietum- lng here after an absence of about two years at his post in the Carib- bean. Thomas Cree, district man- Iser of the Canadian National Steamship; at Kingston, Jamaica. is now in the city on a business trip and visit, accompanied by Mrs. Cree. He stated that he is partic- ularly happy as a result of the con- siderable increase in the passenger tra!'lc businofis handled by the Canadian National Steamshi, be- tween Canada and Jamaica. Mr. Cree also stated that the banana Droduction is rapid‘y getting back to normal after the storms last fall which affected so many of the crops and this year will see the usual Quantity of fine bananas coming up to Canada, which is a large consumer of this product.

"Jamaica is becoming increasing- ly popular for cummer and winter vac:-.i.ionists, many of whom have made the trip several times on the 'l=3€ly' cruise liners" stated Mr. Cree. “More and more peop‘e each year include Jamaica in their holi-

Planning" For The Sun

LAY OUT GARDEN TO GAIN BEST LIGHT CONDITIONS.

An experienced gardener paints his sweet corn and pole beans at the north and west sides of his garden as a matter of course. He does it by instinct after years of gardenlngs, because he knows that if planted at the south or east end of the garden they will cut off valuable sunlight from the vege- tables near them.

This is a. point to be kept in mind in laying out a. plan for the vege- table garden. The lower growing vegetables should have full ex- posure to the south and east, plac- ing the tall growing subjects, such as the com, pole beans and toma- toes trained to single stems on stakes where they will interfere least with the supply of sunshine.

Most gardenrs will plan to run their rows of tomatoes north and south if the location of the garden at all permits it in order to get the most even dlitribution of sunshine to ripen the fruits evenly and rapidly

North-and-south rows are best for all vegetables because of this advantage, but in a. garden or small proportions it is not so important as in the larger gardens and need not be taken into account in laying out the plantings. A garden which is partly overhrurg by large trees will need an extra supply of plant food in the neighborhood of the tree as the root; have practic- ally the same extent in the ground that the top has in the air and theyvwlll compete for the good in the soil with the plants.

Plant the earliest crops nearest to the kitchen door so that there will need to be as little tramping over the cultivated soil as possible . when spring rains make the going muddy. The radishe:, young onions, and lettuce should be the closest to solid ground.

Plan this year to utilize fences about the garden ‘for cucumbers small squashes, pole beans or for trelllses for tomatoes. The fence will furnish much ad- ditional garden room properly handled and furnishes a ready made trellis. Cucumbers, although grown on the ground as a. rule, are climbers by nature and are al- ways so grown in greenhouses for the winter trade.

day plans, due to the recommenda- tion passed around by satisfied passengers and the many enjoyable facilities found on the Island. I believe if more Canadians knew the beauties of Jamaica and its wonderful climate, and realized the opportunity it offers for a com- plete vacation, more of them would make an annual trip there. Jam- aica has about all the attractions the modem tourist can desire. There are dude ranches, horseback riding on beautiful trails. mineral baths. motoring on splendid roads among the moutains, fresh and sea-water bath‘;.ig, golfing, fishing and a variety of gorgeous scenery which is unexcelled anywhere. “As a result of these attractions, the past winter has been the best tourist season Jamaica has ever exrperienced, passenger traffic on ‘Lady’ cruise liners during the first three months of this year showing an increase of 22 per cent over the similar period of last yefil’. which in turn showed an increase over the previous yell‘- “Tourlst authorities are now preparing for a bumper and fall season.

HE RETURNED PIPE GIVEN BY THE KING

ST. MARK'S, Mon. April 28——A promise is a promise to 71-year-old J. B. Lavallee, but the veteran hunting guide sighed recently as he thought of what it cost him to keep his word to the King.

The King, the n Prince of Wales. came to Manitoba in 1919. Guided by Lavaliee, His Majesty went shooting among the marshes near this Lake Maniotba hamlet." _

As recognition of his services. Lavallee was presented by the King with a monogrammed pipe and case. But he asked that when he became King it be returned to him. The aged guide treasured the pipe. but mindful of his agreement has returned it.

Quebec, Ottawa, Toronto, stratfoxd, Detroit and Chicago are making reservations for this voyage and it i:. anticipated that the list will in- clude many others from various other parts of Eastern Canada and the United states.

“An additional inducement for early travel to the southern resorts is the Spring honeymoon period, in connection with which we are granting a reduction of ten per cent to newly married couples and those celebrating their silver or golden wedding anniversaries," stated Mr. Eke. “Last year honeymooners commenced their voyages early in the season and it looks as if each of our cruise ships from Montreal will carry a particularly large num- ber of newlyweds on every voyage during April and May when the special concession is in effect. these months being as favorable as any for a cruise to the British West Indies, since the temperature down there varies very lltt‘e throughout

Faces Trialfl Supreme Court For Extortion

18-year-old Summerside Youth

Charged With

Before \Magistrate Strong.

Thomas Brewer, 18-year-old Sum- merslde youth, yesterday was com- mitted by Magistrate E. H. Strong to stand trial in supreme Court on a charge of extortion. Information against 17-year-old Donald Steele who had been held on the same charge was withdrawn at the re- quest of Crown Prosecutor L. G. Lewis.

The boys had been arrested after Cari Delaney, Summerside mer- chant, received ietters threatening robbery or burning of his ‘store un- less he placed $50 behind a local stable at a designated time. Chief of Police Percy Kinch appeared in civilian clothes and made the ar- rests as the merchant was handing over a parcel containing marked bills to Steele.

Steele at the preliminary hearing yesterday testified he had innocent- ly delivered notes from Brewer to the merchant and was acting upon Brewer's request to "see if that was Carl Delaney" behind the stable when Chief Kinch seized him. De- laney had handed him a parcel but he knew nothing of what it con- tained. he said.

Carl Delaney told the hearing he had first received notes threatening damage to his store unless he left $50 at a given place. A phone call followed and a voice he said he thought he recognized as Thomas Brewers instructed the merchant. ‘to pay over the money or take the con- sequences,

The merchant said he told the party on the telephone he would not make payment and the reply was: "Ailright, fcrlzc what you get."

Brewer not reprc.ented by counsel. 1.. cf? .:d no testimony.

DELANEY’S EVIDENCE

The first witness examined at yesterday's hearing was Mr. De- laney. who testified: “My store is the store formerly operated by Jos. Locke in Summerside. I run a grocery store. I have a Bennie Ar- senault hired as a delivery boy. He was working for me on the 24th of April last. I know Thomas Brewer. I recognize him in Court, (pointing him out), he was living at Summer- side at that time. I have seen him a couple of times in the last month. I saw him at Cecil Sonniers on Wa- ter Street, Summerside, once and another time on the street. I know Donald Steele of Summerslde. Re- member Friday, April 24th last. I was working as usual around the store that day.

"I received a note and a. telephone call. About three o'clock in the af- ternoon that day (April 24th) a little boy about five years old hand- ed me a sealed envelope and I could recognize the child again. The little boy walked out. I was busy at the time and I opened the envelope in my store about 3 or 4 minutes after- wards. This is a note I found in the sealed envelope, which envelope had my name on it. I destroyed the envelope at the time, before I knew what was in the note. I read the note. I read the contents at the time and passed writing to Whiley Sudsbury, who was working in the shop for me at the time. He read the note and passed it back to me. some days before this Cecil Sonier had asked me to get a script for him from my father, who is a doc- tor, and I did so. I put the note in my pocket and decided to inform the police. I called up officer Ryan by phone and asked him to call in.

Receives Phone Call

“Before the officer arrived I got a phone call. The party calling me asked me if I received the note and I replied I did, and I asked him if he was foolish writing a note like that. He said he didn't think he was and for me to have the money at nine o'clock at the place appoin- ted or take what I would get. I re- cognized the voice as that of Thomas Brewer. the accused. He mentioned the same as was in the note, place, and time, and amount concerning the money. I told the party that I would not meet him and he said, allright, take what you get. Police Officer Ryan came in

phone is. Officer Ryan came in the front door. I gave the note to of- ficer Ryan and he said he would take the note and advise the Chief of Police concerning same.

"This phone conversation took place between five and six o'clock that evening. I traced the call at the time. Central oflice told me the call was from the King Cafe, a. res- taurant on Water street, Summer- side. I called them up and the party answering did not seem to understand. officer Ryan took the note and said he would let me know what to do later.

Up to half-past seven o'clock the same evening nothing else happen- ed. Ofiicer Ryan came into my store about 7:30 o'clock or between half past seven o'clock c ' eight o'- clock the same evening, and I had a conversation with him. As a re- sult we decided we would endeavour to trap the note sender. I sent my hired boy Bennie Arsenault down to see if he could locate Thomas Brewer with a note to deliver to him. and he found him at Cecil Sonior‘s and reported that he gave him the noic rind returned with an answer. This is the answer: “Tell him it's OK". verbrrliy delivered by Bennie Arsr-.n:rult io me about 8:15 the same evening. Officer Ryan was not there when the boy returned.

ARRANGES MEETING

‘‘I wrote them another note and sent it to Thomas Brewer by Bennie Arsenault, and told him to be there himself to collect the money. I got 8» reply back about 8:30. I answer- ed this note by a note and had it delivered by Bennie Arsenault to Thomas Brewer. I said: “OK, we will be there with the money at nine o'clock, and also asked him to be there personally, I got an answer dellvcred by Donald Steele of Sum- merside, (Bennie Arsenault reported he got no answer). This note was received about 8:50 o'clock the same evening. I was just coming in the store and Donald Steele handed me the note at the door and walked by. I took the note in and read it. I showed it to my wife and Wiley Sudsbury.
