ners. are described in the following
directions issued by the bulb special
'sts' Of the United States department
of agriculture:
These bulbs should be planted in
tight. rich soil that has been dug to
a depth of at least 10 inches. The
tulip bulbs should be set 5 inches
apart ana inches deep and the mar
Cissus bulbs about 10 inches apart and
& inches deep.
If they are to be grown in pots or
window boxes. light rich soil should
be used. Place one or two inches of
cinders or broken pots in the bottom
of the pots or boxes to insure good
drainage. After planting, place the
pots or boxes out of doors and cover
them with about four inches of ashes
ar sand or they may be placed in
dark, cool room or cellar for a few
weeks until the bulbs have formed a
quantity of roots. They may then be
brought into the light and heat for
towering. Keep the soil well
moistened from time of planting, but
avoid demonstrating. for if kept too
wet the bulbs will decay
Cultivation.

soil should be loosened after each rain
and the bed kept free from weeds.

tight mulch of straw or leaves to pre-
vent injury to the young roots from
the alternate freezing and thawing of
the soil. This mulch should be grad
ualty removed in spring as soon as
growth appears above ground The
bulbs are quite hardy and are not in
Iured by severe cold If the soil is
well drained.
Lifting and Dividing.
Tulip and narcissus plants are
perennial. and If given proper care
and grown under suitable soil and
climatic conditions will increase and
multiply from year to year The bulbs
may remain In the ground two or
three years, or until the clumps begin
to crowd. After blossoming in the
spring. from six to eight weeks
should elapse to allow the foliage to

Shake the soil from the roots and
store the bulbs in cool, shady place
where they will ripen and cure. When
the old leaves and roots are thor
oughly dry they may be easily rubbed
of and the clusters OF bulbs divided
The bulbs MAJ then be planted IN the
same manner as the original bulbs
In this way the stock may be in

Naturalizing the Narcissus.
The narcissus often becomes nat

partial shade, where 1t will continue
to grow. blossom. and multiply for
many years without further attention.
Simply make a small hole in the soil
five or six inches deep, insert the bulb
pointed-end up press the soil over the
top, and nature will do the rest For
naturalizing. avoid planting in rows or
rigid geometrical figures, A good
plan is to scatter the. bulbs like seed
and plant where they fall. This
method of planting is extensively fol-
lowed in the home grounds and parks
of England and other countries in
Europe. In portions or North Caro-
lima, on large estates along the James
river in Virginia, and in old gardens
in New Englands, narcissuses that
were planted over half a century ago
are still growing vigorously and every
spring produce beautiful displays of
blossoms.

Prepare to Seed
Oats; Warning 10
Out Against Smut

In q few parts Of the county farmers
are seeding oats. In most other parts
Of the county they are getting ready to
disc the seed bed to prepare 1t for the
grain, and IL favorable weather con-
tinues seeding will be we'll under way
next week.
In connection with the seeding OF
this crop, M. A. Hauser, of Albion, who
Is In the extension department of Iowa
State College, Ames. has sent out a
warning against oat smut and the
toll it has taken from Marshall county.
This warning follows:
Marshall county loses about per
cent OF her oat crop every year from
smut. This means that one acre out of
every twelve produces nothing be-
cause Of the disease. This loss Is
based on. actual counts made in n large
number Of fields in Marshall county
during the years 1912 and 1873. Mar
shall county grew 2,467,072 bushels of
oats in 1913, or an average yield of
forty bushels to the acre, while the
state yield is but thirty five bushels.
A smut tax Of 8 per cent amounts to
196.965 bushels per year, at 40 cents
per bushel, or $7S,7s6. This loss can
be easily prevented at cost Of not
to exceed accent per bushel on seed
oats by the use Of formalin or for
maldehyde treatment. There is q great
deal Of dissatisfaction caused by the
large annual road tax that has to be
paid every year in marshall county,
which amounted to $101,f3 in 1914.
The annual smut tax in the oats alone
Is enough to pay two-thirds Of this
road tax, yet very little has been done
to eradicate it.
During the past month a big cam
paign for the eradication Of oat smut
was carried on in the counties that
have farm Improvement associations.
Fifty demonstrations Of treating oats
for smut were held in each one Of
these counties, showing the people how
simple and easy the treatment was.
Directions for preventing this an
nual tax can be had free Of charge by
addressing the agricultural extension
department, Iowa State College, Ames.

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
HOSPITAL FOR DOVER.
tho Dover State News.

From the Dover State News.
After months of planning, working
and hoping. the members of the
Young Business Mems Association OF
Dover are this week In their glory.
Dover's Old Home Week celebration
and carnival began Monday, and VIII
continue until Saturday night, and the
thousands of residents of nearby
towns In Kent county who are hock-
ing TO this town every day show that
the affair Is being appreciated. The
eyes of the "doubting ThomasesN IN
Dover have at last been opened to the
fact that the carnival is one of the
biggest things that has ever been held
in this county.
The fact that the Young Mems
Business Association has announced
that all money made upon the car
nival will be deposited in Dover
bank as a starter for hospital fund
has served to encourage the spirit OF
cooperation that is being manifested
by the residents OF the town. Dover
has long needed hospital; perhaps
a number OF lives could have been
saved IN the past had there been such
an institution in this town, and a
number OF efforts have been made TO
secure one.
The Delaware Legislature has been
asked to pass a bill making an appro-
priation by the State OF a certain sum,
TO be used for the erection OF a hos
pital in Dover. on the condition that
the residents Of that town raise a sim
liar sum. Therefore, IL a considerable
sum Of money is cleared by the asso-
citation this week IL will be a big in
ducement for the town 10 raise a hos
pital fund, and then the Legislature
can be asked TO pass the bill. which
was lost last time, at later session.
All residents of Dover should liber-
ally patronize the many attractions
that are offered 10 the public by the
Johnny J. Jones Company. The
amusements are clean and wholesome
and while not absolutely necessities
Of life, yet the good hearty laughs
that they afford the persons who
patronize them are we'll worth tn,
price of admission Good, hearty
laughs now may save many doctors
\ bills later on.

Soap Is Bad
For the Hair

Soap should be used very sparingly, It
at ali. if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and ruins IT,.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (which is
pure and greaseless), and is better than
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub 1t
in. IL makes an abundance of rich
creamy lather. which rinses out easily
removing every particle OF dust, dirt
dandruf aud excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky. bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy tc
manage.
You can get mulsiied cocoanut oil al
any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and q
few ounces will supply every member oi
the family for months.
