There is many garden patch where
the early potatoes might be followed
by navy beans, planted between rows
Mt the time of the last cultivation. The
beans would not only cover the ground
after the potato vines died down and
keep down the weeds, but would also
enrich the soil and help TO keep it mel
low, besides furnishing a staple crop
for the table. Beans may be planted
rs late as the middle of June and yet
mature crop.

To keep in check the inroads of the
San Jose scale fruit trees should be
sprayed while dormant with con
ccntrated lime-sulphur mixture. Stand
ard mixtures may be bought which
require only the addition of water be-
fore using. Where the amount needed
is small this is good plan to follow.
Where larger amounts are needed the
mixture may be made at home accord
ing TO the usual recipe. Where it can
be generated easily steam makes an
excellent means of cooking the solu-
ton.

Everything went lovely.

The state organization Is the body

possible TO have one Uniform regula-

terest OF all the motorists OF all the

The American Automobile associa-

The national organization looks

Tell. q ores; Good Done on rhoroush-
fares In This State By Men
Doing Tins.

According 10 Elmer HouEn. of
MenSo9rs. president OF the West yir.
slniA state Automobile association.
Prison labor IN West virginia has Al.
IAoy proven a grand success. M
rough said that In every county
where the authorities were conform.
ING with the law regulating the new
crime penalty. BY working their pris-
oners on the public highways. more
progress has been made IA actual road
Improvement than ever before.
Since prison labor Is beyond the
experimental stage. all doubts on the
part OF certain county authorities nav,
been dispelled as 20 the Feasibility OF
the plan and now. after four years.
one county that I would be Elad 10
name upon request. has accomplished
more In the way OF road Improvement
IN one single year than II has expert
enced during any previous four years.
and to the best OF my knowledge only
one prisoner has escaped. which IL
less than the average joil breaking.
II has also been proven that prts-
ohers DO Just as good work as the
average laborer. and III Is often the
case that their work is much super.
Tor.
While on the other hand ~ a man
transgresses the law and the hard
hand OF the law Furnishes him by
confinement in foul lonesome prison
away from sunshine. with little or not
exercise and all time to kill. he natur-
ally must deteoriate in both mind ana
body, his mind becomes revengeruI
and his body weak and polsones.
Then he begins 10 scheme and con-
trive for revenge and often plots
worse crtminality 20 be carried out on
a Eet-square idea. when he Is once
more free from what his unhealthy
condition OF mind and body would
cause him TO believe unjust punish
ment in robbing him of health ana
life.
These observations f. self evident
that West Virginia's road law In the
main. with possible amendments for
the working Of prisoners on her public
highways, is not only an advance step
in solving one OF the greatest PROB
lens OF the age. But how 20 get
modern roads 10 accommodate modern
traffic without available funds. and Il
also is an advance step for the ad-
yancement and benefit OF mankind.
