PREPARING ASPARAGUS BEDS
Necessary TO Use the Greatest Care In
Giving Plants Good Start-Keep
the Weeds Away.

Asparagus is not hard to grow and
we know Of no other vegetable that
will give more satisfactory results II
wei cared for.
AS an asparagus bed has to be set
out only once it is. therefore, very
necessary to use the greatest care in
giving the plants start.
Plow the ground deeply as early
as possible in the spring and mix with
it an abundance Of weiI-rotted ma
nure.
This should be done three or four
days before planting and strong fer
tilizer should never be put next to the
plants, because 1t often destroys them.
The rows should be about six feet
apart and the plants should be set
ten inches deep. Set out only strong,
one-year-old roots.
Press the soil about them and as
the plants begin to come up, throw
q little dirt into the burrows to
smother the weeds and keep the soil
loose around the plants. Gradually
fill the rows until the ground is level.
The weeds must be kept from the
plants for two years; then not much
further care is necessary.
Cutting may begin the third year,
for perhaps thirty days, but not longer.
After that, asparagus may be cut up
to the middle Of june, or perhaps .
little later.
If your bed shows large growth
OF tops In the fall you may be sure
Of good crop the next spring.
When plants are old enough to cut.
the tops should be cut Off very early
in the spring almost down to the
crowns Of the roots and then as they
start to grow again the roots should
be ridged about eight or ten inches
above the level of the ground.
The plants will push their way
through this ridge in very few days
and will continue to grow vigorously.
A wet, heavy black soil is not good
for asparagus, as it does better on
sandy loan.

needed, even under = most liberal sub
sidy. TO have built up a mercha Mt ma
rine equal to the present needs.
The cotton growers Of the South and
the grain growers of the West have
been told that they were not interest -
ed in ocean shipping. and that it did
not concern them whether the United
States had a merchant marine or not.
They have now learned ny a sad and
costly experience that they need This
merchant marine more than the
manufa cturers and capitalists and far
more than the mon who have been the
leaders for twenty-five years or more
in advocating the development Of our
shipping interests,
We have thus been brought as ma =
ton into closer touch, and bankers and
manufacturers. financiers and Govern
ment officials have all learned to know
each other somewhat better, have
learned to see each other face to face
and eye to eye, and this is worth
much. We have at the same time learn
ed the need of safeguarding our future
vail, and learned the need of build
ing up a merchant marine in keeping
with our resources and the possibjli-
ties of our commerce.
While we have thus been learning
these vital lessons we have at the same
time been suddenly thrust by all the
Powers OF Europe into the center of
the stage to do the work of maintain
ing the worlds financial equilibrium
and shaping the financial and business
affairs of the world.
The seat of empire of finance and
commerce and industry is already
its home to this, the most
blessed land upon which the
sun shines. What matters, so far as
we as a nation are concerned, the diff
ficulties of the moment in the light
of the limitless opportunities Of the
years?

COST.
Candidates Must File Expense Ac-

Strict accounting must be made by
the candidates of all money spent

Allen, secretary of state, is notifying
the politicians that the statements
must be filed in his office within ten
days after the primary.
In making up the accounts the per-
sons running for office must not only
show the money they spent, but must
include the money spent by their
friends, provided they know how
much the friends expended. All do
nations to the campaign fund must
be noted also.
There is considerable interest
among politicians in the amount of
money being spent by certain candi-
dates to win the nomination. The

time for personal work and the pri-
mary is in the hands of his friends.
The republican authorship con-
test, in which there are five candi-

is being expended. There is feel
