GARDEN HINTS.
Do Not Plant Too Early.

WHEN the birds come. the grass turns
" green and for the first time since
the long winter the amateur gardener
can go coatless, the lust for digging anC
planting comes. Dig deep as you can
provided the ground is not wet and soggy
But beware Of planting too early.
Mix in the soil lots Of manure, but be
sure it is we'll rotted. Green manure is
poison to plants. No garden ever was
dug too often or too deep. Digging makes
the garden glad and gives fine crops
later on. But when in doubt about II
being time to SOW or plant. do not do it.
1t is a mistake to sow seed or set out
plants in a wet. cold soil. With few ex-
ceptions. they will not grow. At best
they will lie dormant. More often the
the seed and work Of planting both are
lost. The crop is delayed, waiting for the
growth that never comes.
No seed should be planted until the
ground is reasonably dry; that is. not
wet and sticky. When the proper condi.
ton prevails put in the first sowing OF
the more hardy seeds-radishes, lettuce
onions, spinach. early round, smooth
peas uf one must have them, though the
wrinkled are a world better). and the like
in vegetables.
WHEN sowing seed, moisture and tenn
=" perature should be carefully con-
sidered. Do not use soil which will not
allow Of perfect drainage, and at the
same time hold moisture. An excellent
soil for starting seed is composed Of sand
mixed with leaf mold, or a good pottine
soil mixed with white sand.
Never mix manure in soil which is to b
used for this purpose. Remember tina,
seeds require a much lighter soil in which
to terminate than the mature plant likes
Heavy, coarse soil will never produce
good results.
Never drench your seed beds or pots
as that will weaken even sound. strong
seed. Water thoroughly enough t
moisten the soil thoroughly and through
out, as q moist surface with dry sub
soil Is an evil. Seeds should never b.
allowed to become perfectly dry after
they have once started to sprout.
Good drainage is an essential point. A
layer of broken pots placed in the bot.
tom Of the pot or bed in which the seeds
are started will be found a great assist
ance to drainage. Do not SOW In deer
boxes or pots, as shallower receptacles re.
Quire much less attention as to drainage

THE PRESENT NEED.

Ackley World: Reverence for law.
That's it. There is woeful disre-
gard for it in every city, town, viii
lage and hamlet. Abraham Lincoln
wrote: Let reverence of law be
taught by every mother to the lisp
ing babe that prattles in her lap"
The spirit of liberty and license
is mistaken privilege-it leads to
abuse, except in the particular
where laws are made for the re-
striction of human rights and pri-
vileges. We seldom point TO
Europe for models, but the fact is
that there is reverence for law
there. England gave the man Grip
pen a chance to prove his innocence
of murder; he failed and he paid
the penalty in short order. In the
states men are still battling to
prove their innocence" of crime af-
ter several years have passed and
the circumstances have become as
ancient history, yet at the first there
was abundance CT positive evidence
of guilt. If the custom of dallyine
with justice is continued, these
shocking offenses will become more
common.

BASKET BALL AT l.. C.
The Grinnell College Team Will
Play Luther at the Auditorium
January 10Th.

After much negotiation. manager
Hegg of the Luther College basket
ball team, has dated Grinnell for a
game on the home floor, the 10Th
of this month. This will be a fine
exhibition of the finer points of the
game. Luther is, as local basket
ball fans know, in good condition
to meet any adversary. AS for Grin
nell, they also have a fast team this
year. Luther has not played Grin
nell at basket ball for a number of
years, so we do not know how the
two team will match this year.
Grinnell, however, has repeatedly
claimed the state championship of
Iowa. The Lutherans are well
aware of this and expect to meet
the Grinnellians, determined to put
up stiff game. Luther played
Grinnell basket ball last spring and
found that bunch of boys very
sportsmenlike and associative. There
is no reason why this should not be
very interesting contest, and ev-
erybody should make it a point to
come early and avoid the rush. Jan.
10, 1911.
