About Spring Planting.

Now is the time for the farmers to prepare for their spring planting for their crops for 1913. and in making preparation, special care should be taken in the preparation of the seed bed. A we'll plowed and pulverized seed bed. ploWed deep enough to retain the moisture, will go a long ways toward the making of good crop.
 Those who prepared their land by deep blowing last fall, or during the month of January, be amp ly repaid in the yield of their crops next fall, It will not pay to plow too deep with turning blow, but a subsoiler may be run in the furroW behind the turning blow with good results. If the seed bed is well made and the soil is well pulverized before planting. the growing crop will grow off well at the start and will be easily kept clean until the growing plants are well on their way, and a great deal of labor may be saved in the cultivation of the crop, and it will grow to maturity quicker and without being stunted.
 In pitching the crop, the farmer should consider well the amount of manual and team labor he will have. and distribute and subdivide his crops so that he will have am- pie labor at all times to take care of his crops, and to also be able to keep his labor and teams employed steadily. He should have some hay crops coming in at the proper time to engage his labor and teams after the crops are laid by, and so diversity his crops generally that there will always be plenty of labor to take care of things under ad-

Tobacco and Liquor Consumption Large.

It hardly seems consistent that a civilized government should gloat over an increase in the bad habits of it's own people. Yet suc9 is the case. owing to the rake-off that governments usually enjoy from the drink and tobacco business. etc. The people of this country are drinking more and using more tobacco than ever before. accord ing to a statement of the internal revenue bureau covering the first quarter of the fiscal year.
 Nearly four billion cigarettes or aeoffin-nails" were smoked in this period, or an increase of 20 per cent; nearly two billion cigars also went up in smoke, making new record. The nation consumed over 55,O0OOO0 gallons of whisky and nearly 2O.OOO.OOO barrels of beer in the three months. both items showing increases over the same period for former years.
 Uncle Sam is happy at this thriv- ing trade in these things. for it IS bringing his receipts from internal revenue up higher than they have ever been before. The govern ment collects upwards of 800 mill ion dollars year from internal revenue and pays more than half it's total expenses from this source. Thus we see that those who drink, ! smoke and chew are taxed much more to support the government than ahstainers are.

MeeyiI Not fradiCa Cated.

In talk with Representative Ransdell, Bradford Knapp, chief of the farm demonstration division of the Department of Agriculture, sounded a note of warning to the cotton planters not only of Louisi- ana, but of Mississippi and adjoin- ing areas in Arkansas and Texas. What he desired the planters in Louisiana in particular to remem- Der is that the boil weevil has not been eradicated, even from the sections of the cotton belt where none of the insects was found last season.
 His injunction to all is to plant on the assumption that the pest will reappear during the coming season. because the winter has been mild. In a good many spots in the belt last season. the infesta- tion was great enough to make it certain that during the mild winter the pest has multiplied, so thatun- less the planters take pains with their crop, conditions will be la mentable.
 In particular he hopes they will put in at least half their acreage with short staple, quick-maturing seed. He has heard that many of the planters are contemplating put ting in only long staple. and that does not appeal to him. In that view, Mir Ransdell agrees with MT Knapp The Senator elect. ever before he had the talk. had come to the conclusion that it was the thing to do. Neither Mir, Ransdel nor Mir. Knapp believes that it vii be wise, this year, to put all the eggs in one basket
 By taking the pracaution eug- gested, Messrs Ransdell anc Knapp believe the evil the milo winter has done in the way of giv- ing the weevil an extension of ten ure will be minimized. if not wholly neutralized New Orleans Times l Democrat.

TO BUILD

Oscar Krinbill, the manager of the
Chicago Telephone company in Lake

pany proposes to construct a new build
ing on the property it acquired next to
its present Hammond plant that will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
The present building is to be used
exclusively for plant purposes. and the
new building will contain the offices of
the company. The growth of the Ham
mond business has been so tremendous
that the present building is not large
enough to take care of it and the new
one must be built at once.
The property was purchased from A.
NJ. Turner two or three years ago. The
building will have a frontage of 25
feet and will be anywhere from rs to
125 feet in depth.

COUNCIL s
MEETING

The West Hammond city counci,
transacted a remarkable lot of bust
ness at special session that was held
last night. One of the most important
things of all was to receive the report
that the Hammond, Whiting & East
Chicago Railway Co. will pay $1,000
towards the building of the pavement
on Sibley street
Manager Green of the road said that
his company would pave eight feet of
the street and this will cut the total
assessment down $4,000. The people
along this street will therefore have a
good pavement at a small cost and a
street car line besides
The life of the company's franchise
has been preserved by the fact that it
has been tied up with litigation by the
Pennsylvania railroad. This litigation
has now been ended and the road to
Harvey is certainty next spring.
The council also passed an ordinance
providing for primary election next
March This will start the political
pot to boiling again.

proving of the paving OF Sibley street
from Hammond to Burnham avenue

be a street that ought to last fol-
years
