CABLE SERVICE Still

New York, Aug. 1s.-Inquiry at
the Offices here Of the three great
transatlantic cable companies
developed the fact that on all
fifteen lines between North Amer
lea and Europe traffic was still
badly congested today. The con.

much Of the congestion on this
system, although it was said that
at least once in every twenty

THE WOMAN FARMER.

The New York State college OF agri-
| culture made a study OF all the farms
owned by women IN four towns in
Tompkins county to analyze the con-
ditlons. 1t is impossible TO make &C
curate reports on all phases of the in
dustry because of the fact that many
OF the women farmers interviewed
rent their farms and do not operate
them.
The women owned 9,077 acres, an
average OF 1874 acres each. The total
property amounted to s396,152, the
largest farm owned by one woman be-
ing 400 acres. The average invest
ment OF those women who operate
their own farms was s4.922; those who
rent. and therefore own less stock and
machinery. averaged S4,225; the larg-
est individual investment was s16.075.
Thirty-twO of these women gave

GRASS STIMULANT FOR LAW
IN LATE SPRING

| CFrom L. 5. Department of Agricul-
ture, Lawn Series.)
| In the late spring, about a month
after active grass growth has COM
| menced on the lawn. it is desirable TO
apply a grass stimulant to keep the
lawn in first class condition. Nitrate
of soda is a good fertilizer. and will
make the grass grow thickly with a
rich dark green color that will show
itself promptly after the application.
The landscape gardener of the United
States department of agriculture ad-
vises that those who use nitrate of
soda should apply IL at the rate of 80
pounds per acre once a month through
out the summer beginning about the
middle of May in the latitude OF Wash
ington, ID. c.
The nitrate of soda should be ap-
piled just before rain or a sprini1ling
with the hose. Under ordinary condi-
tons It will keep the lawn a vivid
green during the period when the vi
tally OF the plant is low. The appli-
action OF this fertilizer combined with
careful watering described in a pre-
vious article) will prevent the parched
appearance of the lawn during the dry
hot summer season.
When nitrate is applied during any
dry period it should be used carefully
II can, however. be applied at any time
II the nitrate OF soda is powdered up
fine before using. but it is safest to
dissolve il in water. Because of a
generally prevailing fear that this fer
tilizer may ruin a lawn if used care
lessly. the department has been expert
menting to see just how much nitrate
of soda would have to be used in order
to kill grass. These experiments seem
to show that nitrate of soda can be
used fairly extensively without caus.
ing injury. for attempts TO kill grass
