Us EXPERTS BOOM
VEGETABLE GARDEN
Develops EdibIes Instead of
Flowers, Is Advice of De-
partment of Agriculture.

The Department of Agriculture is be-
coming the home vegetable garden.
Every suburbanite would be better off
In deyoting his time more to develop
ment of edibles than TO monkeying
around with flowers in the plot back of
his bungalow, according to the depart
ment's experts.
A half acre devoted to various kinds
of garden crops will easily supply a
family with 500 worth of vegetables
during the year. A bountiful supply Of
fresh vegetables close at hand, how
ever, is of more importance even than
the money value. The department has
just issued a handy little book telling
all needful things about the home gar
den.
First of all, the booklet advises that
the land have sufficient fall to drain
off surplus water during heavy rains,
but not so much fall that the soil !
washed away. The garden surface
should not contain depressions where
puddles can remain. A good fence
around the plot is Indispensable. The
soil should be well Dlowed up and pull
verized. Hand spading is unnecessary.

SENATE TURNS DOWN
ROCKEFELLER'S AID
+
Prevents Agricultural Depart
ment From Using Employees
Paid by Private Funds.

Uncle Sam and John D. Rockefeller
will go out of partnership. This has been
decided in connection with the agricul-
tural bill. now pending before the SEN
ate. That body agreed to an amend
ment which prevents the Department of
Agriculture from putting on the rolls
as employees men who are really paid
by private agencies. II has been dis
closed that more than COO persons who
are engaged in farm demonstration
work. ostensib!y as Government en-
ployes, are really paid by the Rockefel-
Ter General Education Board.
Senator Martin of Virginia rushed to
the defense OF the practice OF Uncle
Sam accepting the Rockefeller money,
but the Senate q whole would not
sanction it.
Senator Ashurst struck at both Rookie
feller and Carnegie He said: John
j. Rockefeller, ir., has attempted to
debauCh an American commonwealth,
and the blood OF women and children is
on the hands Of his brutal employees.
Carnegie, indirectly. caused the
streets OF Homestead to run red with
blood. Instead OF approving their action
by the acceptance of their money, Con-
gress should pass resolutions condemn
ing them in the strongest terms.
Carnegie and Rockefeller both, not
only exploit the American people. in
the most shameless way. but they treat
their own working people in a most
brutal and inhuman fashion
