services Of an aged black to carry
his things from the hotel to the depot.

GROWING THE TOMATO PLANT
Hot-Bed Plants Produce About Twice
as Much Fruit as Those Started
Later In Seed Bed.

According to investigations on toma-
to growing at the Indiana station, hot
bed-gro plants produced about twice
as much fruit as those started In a
seed bed in the open ground. Trans
planting once or twice In fats gave a
larger yield than planting directly
from the hot-bed soil
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1914-03-19

The most profitable method for
starting seeding plants consisted in
sowing the seed in wood veneer bands
in the hot-bed and shifting the plants
to the field at setting time with band
and soil intact. Plants started in a
seed bed in the open ground gave esti.
mated returns, less cost of growing
the plants, of $3.50 per acre. as com.
pared with $4,000 per, acre for plants
hotbed grown in veneer bands and set
out without transplanting.

No man can afford to allow lice to

colts are likely to suffer most this
season Of the year. and in many cases
the poor condition of these animals
in the spring is as much due to lice
as to lack Of feed. One part of any
OF the coal tar disinfectants on the

the lice. but It is as necessary to treat

MISLEADING THE VOTERS

that the civil service policy of the
State Board of Education is vicious
and that it merely helps to keep on

petent friends of superintendent
Wilson.
We would likt TO ask Mr.. Allen If
If it is his intention, if elected, to
repeal the civil service policy of the
board. We challenge him to name the
teachers in the state whom he con-
siders incompetent. We want to
know what teachers he intends to re-
move or would remove because of in
competency. We would further ask
him how many teachers there are in
these several ir
would remove. If he is honest and
sincere in his declaration he should
be honest and brave enough to name
/. the teachers whom he considers de-
serving of removal and also to state
whether or not he contemplates the
destroying of the civil service rules al
the state iastiuions
We challenge him to prove his sin
cereity and his honesty by answering
these questions. If he fails to an

laration as meaningless grandstand

! eanery and conceived for the single
