for this number of plants, as the large
number of forward, thrifty plants is
a great advantage for the grower.
The common practice of the bright
tobacco growers is to plant seed bed
containing 250 square feet for four
to six acres of tobacco. Make bed

trampling on plants when they are

The location, exposure, protection
from frosts, insects and parasitic dis
eases should be considered in select
ing site for a seed bed. The expos
ures are preferable in the order
named: Southern, southeastern,
southwestern and western. Because
of better moisture and more uniform
temperature it is most desirable to To-
cate the seed bed near a lake, pond,
brook or river. Where aboue loca:
ton is not convenient, select a place
protected on the northside from rost
and winds, with the open southern eX-
posure so that the spring sunshine
can reach plant in the morning and
through the middle of the day. When
possible, make the bed on new land
as there is less danger from grass
and weed seeds, larvae, insects and
plant diseases. The trees, wood,
limbs, trash, etc, from the spot Sc
lected may be left on the ground for
burning. Remove any stun1ps that

deep and for loss by acciden9 there
should be about $500 seed or plants
available for transplanting out of one
ounce of good seed. Many growers
determine amount of seed for four to
six acres by measuring one table
spoonful to plant in the bed. The
grower must remember, however,
that many of these plants are small
at the time of transplanting Since
the whole crop should be set about
the same time, it is best to plant a
larger bed or have two beds that will
produce the required number of uni
form sized plants to set his entire
field. Again, it is best not to put too
many seed on one bed as they might
be too thick.
Size of Seed Bed.
A bed six feet by % feet producing
from 10000 to 10000 in the agger-

KAISER At THE BATTLEFRONT;
FROM AN ENGLISH VIEWPOINT

The French chateau was fortified
against aerial attacks. Sacks were
piled on the roof and q protective
shield Of metal network was erected.
Whenever the kaiser moves his
quarters a small army of military
engineers precedes him to carry out
these defensive measures before his
arrival. OF course they are with
drawn from the lighting line, but the
kaiser genuinely believes his person
of more value to the cause Of Ger
, many than complete army corps.
Around the chateau were men of
his special bodyguard, detachment
was outside his bedrooms door. an
fother in the hail, another at the front
door and two more detachments were
in the rooms Immediately above and
beneath his own room Three un-
! broken lines of sentries surrounded
the house, whole battalion of infantry
and several squadrons of cavalry were
encamped In the parks.
1This was some 20 miles from the
front, and the chateau was connected
by field telegraph with the headquar-
tiers of the nearess army, so that any
sudden retreat of the German legions
should not place the supreme war lord
in danger.
OF Toward the Front.
Soon after sunrise the kaiser
emerged from the chateau and greeted
his soldiers with his customary Good
morning, soldiers to which all Of them
in the immediate vicinity replied in
unison:
Good morning, your majesty
A motor car was in readiness and
the kaiser was whirled swiftly toward
the front, while the troops which had
guarded him stood rigidiy at attention.
Ten drummers of the bodygnard beat
their drums. by way of salute. The
imperial standard was conveyed in the
second motor car and officers ofkthe
imperial suite followed in others The
cavalry of the bodygusrd preceded the
monarch to the place where he left
the motor car to mount his horse.
As he was helped into the saddle
the troopers saluted with their swords
and another set OF drummers heat
drums. No ceremony may be omitted,
even at the front.
The kaiser rode off with his mount
ed guard thickly clustered around him.

Energy In the Sun.

At the distance of the earth from
1t (93,OOOOO0 niles, the heat energy
yearly expended by the sun Is as great
in amount as would be produced by
the burning of sixty-six globes Of the
best anthracite coal. each rs heavy as
the earth, or 5,346 such globes, each
equal In weight to the moon. But
the greater part Of this energy Is, as
far as we can see, expended upon
empty space because, except where
planetary body Is interposed In the
path of the rays, there Is nothing for
them to act upon. Only about two
thousand-millionth Of the suns radiant
energy is intercepted by the earth and
only about one Observation-Disclosures
ty-five-millionth by all the planets to-
gether. This makes the sun look like
q gigantic spendthrift. but If he did not
radiate in every direction he would not
be seen from distant space: he would
not be star among the stars. and who
can say that what he expends to make
himself known and to maintain MS
rank in the universe, Is not as well
spent as the gratuities that he filings
to his planets. +. Serviss IN

NOT ENOUGH men
FOR 8 HOUR LAW
Farmers Say Supply Of Labor
Is Not Sufficient for Work.
ing Double Crews

OLYMPIA, July 23.-The farmers
union of Walla Walla, Columbia and
Garfield counties have filed with Sec.
rotary of State Howell an argument
against the proposed eight-hour law.
No affirmative argument was filed by
the proponents of the measure.
The farmers argument declares that
the eight-hour law would be a great
handicap to the farming industry, that
in harvest time it would be impossible
to handle the crops without great
loss, and that the supply of labor
is insufficient to put on two crews.
Hungry Crews on Sunday
They say the crew could not be fed
on Sunday because the cook would
have already worked the six days al
lowed in week, and that meals could
not be served on regular days because
the cook could work only eight hours.
The union deposited the 5000 requir-
ed by Secretary Howell for the cost of
publishing the argument, and it will
appear in the argument booklet if the
measure finds place in the ballot
when the count on the petition is COM
pleted.

How to Win.

This is an age of specialization. my
boy, and the only men who succeed In
a big way are those who pick out some
particular line of work and live with
it until they get to know more about
It than most other fellows. Concen-
tration. consistent and persistent effort
in one direction is the surest road to
success. You'll never win IN big
way-except accidentally-if yon scat
ter your energies. The best steam
engine in the world would race itself
to ruin without it's governor. Keep
your mind on your job. specialize In
your particular business and try to
know as much about 1t as the man
who created it. and. barring misfor-
tune. you'll make more out OF that
knowledge than you will out Of any
