security mart Some idea of the chaotic
condition that preceded the closing may
be obtained from the fact that some
stocks declined from 8 to 10 to 16 to 70
points in one brief session. The technical
reason for closing was that there were
no buying orders, but selling orders on
every hand, and that falling prices would
have been disclosed with the result of an
increase of the feelings of distruSt al
ready undesirably prevalent Many with
no need to sell their securities, still less
to sacrifice them. would have been in
spired with desire to sell by the mere
fact that the market was declining, and
that the prices We're alarming. There is
always a class Of mere traders whose
function 1t is to anticipate such desires,
and to assist them by selling first and
buying afterward The closing Of the
exchange deprives nobody Of his prop
erty, and stops unnecessary or disturb
ing sales.
With commendable alacrity, the authori-
ties at Washington rose to the supreme
occasion this week, and put in motion the
machinery for the relieving of the none
tary strain at home, thus auieting any
fears that may have existed respecting
the soundness of Americas financial con-
ditlon. When the Aldrich-Vreeland emer-
gency currency law was passed in
1907, 1t was with the almost COM
plete understanding that it would
never be called into operation. AS
~ iiAiiio iiHpAAes, IL was oil eiuei 5ehcy
measure, intended to maintain a proper
balance until such time as we had COM
pleted our program of currency reform.
Had the new federal reserve system been
in operation. it is not likely that any
additional mechanism would have been
needed
Under the provisions of the law as
passed in 1907, no banking organization
could receive more than 40 per cent of
the amount Of its capital and surplus in
emergency notes. BY special action of
Congress- this restriction has been re-
moved, and banks may receive an amount
equal to 125 per cent of its unimpaired
capital and surplus. This provides for
more than s1,0o0,000. 900 in extra currency.
sufficient to care for any extraordinary
demand upon our banks for circulating
notes Already nearly SlooOOo,OoO worth
of these notes have been issued and fear
of financial panic in America has been
reduced to a minimum.
Evening star., 1914-08-09

In considering the safeguarding OF
Americas financial position, two impor-
tsnt problems Immediately confronted our
financial leaders: First. the preservation
of security values, and, second, the re-
tention of our gold and specie supply.
For the reason already stated, it was
deemed wise to close the New YORK STOCK
Exchanpe. and its reopening will be the
first sign of the clearing of financial
skies With relation to our gold reserve.
it was decided that drastic action must
be taken to prevent further export. We
could easily spare the S45,0o0.0oo that
went out last week. and We could proba-
bly, duplicate that action for few weeks
more, but We could hardly expect to CON
tinue for six months % come. The clos
ing of the stock ex.hange contributed
greatly to this result. in that it checked
the changing of securities for gold. 1t
had already stood the worlds liquidation
for three days. and had for that period
received the title Of the worlds premier

The production of great dramas was

in the habit OF sitting far back in

foreground by jumping to his feet
and bawling out the actors and act

LAYING OUT A GARDEN
ERRONEOUS IDEA THAT MUCH
TIME is REQUIRED.
Plot $50 BY ico Feet Will produces
Enough Fruit and Vegetables for
Family CT slx-Run the Rows
North and South.
tBy E. PARKERD

There Is an important economical
side to this question OF a garden.
Beef. for instance. in it's various forms
is VIGOROUSLY expensive. especially
where IL is eaten twice or three times
day. whereas beans. peas. spinach.
etc. when served with meat would
make up half the amount eaten. thus
reducing the cash cost OF the whole.
And the impression that a vegetable
garden requires much time and care
is such an erroneous one Two or
three hours a week will suffice for a
garden $50 by 100 feet. which is cap
able OF producing fruit and vegetables
enough for a family OF six. provided
the rows are three feet apart so that
horse may be used.
In laying out such a garden the
rows should be run north and south
for planted thus vegetables receive
the greatest amount Of sun. The first
four rows should be six feet apart, and
the first OF these might contain twelve
currant and twelve gooseberry bushes
set six feet apart In the second row
plant hundred raspberry canes three
feet apart. with two canes az each
place. The third row will be for
strawberries aud will hold 80 plants
grown in hills set one foot apart. no
runners being allowed 10 grow. The
next thirteen rows Will be three feet
apart and may be planted 10 the fol
lowing vegetables in the order given.
Asparagus plants, so one-year seed

parsnips. 50 feet: then a hundred feet

full rows. corn. four full rows; toma-

okra. ten feet. then so feet more OF
string beans and $50 feet OF dwarf

should be eight feet apart 20 allow the
vines to spread. In the first row
plant IS muskmelons six feet apart
then a row OF cucumbers set six feet
apart, five eggplants and ten early
squash. all six feet apart The next
row may be planted 10 eight Hubbard
squash and twelve rhubarb plants. set
six feet apart. and the last two rows
may very properly be given over TO
herbs and flowers for cutting.

great many people abroad. notably the

Now what shall / do or what can

ondary importance. Essentially the
same effect will be produced oy 100

pounds of hydrated lime or So pounds
OF fresh burned lime. and It makes
very little difference which is used.
Choice should be based mainly on rel
alive cost and purity. but may be in

facts that burned lime and hydrated
lime are more disagreeable to handle

Soy beans. as well as the COW peas.
are adapted for use in the rotation

be sown In the spring. and the crop cut
