HISTORY OF MY GARDEN.

81 have been a member of the
Girls Canning club for two years, and
made a good garden both years, so
decided to try again, just to see if
could not be a little more successful
and live up to our motto, Make the
Best Better
"My garden is 100 feet long and
4315 feet wide and the soil is sandy
loan. 1t is upland and gets very
dry during the summer, so the plat
was selected near the hydrant so
that it could be irrigated. Then, too
the land is fertile, and makes very
suitable place for a garden.
The land was plowed in February,
about seven inches deep with two
horse turning plow. Then it was har-
rowed until the SOL was smooth and
all the clods broken up. The land
should have been plowed in the fall.
so that the vegetable matter would
have been well decayed and 1t would
have absorbed the winter rains, and
it would then have Deen better pre-
pared to resist the drought. This was
not done because we did not ge;
possession of this place until Febru-
ary
The hotbed was 3 by feet. This
space was dug out and filled with
manure and soil spread about six
inches deep on top. Then the frame
was constructed and covered with
canvas. ! planted the seed February

and the tomato plants were trans

a heavy frost, and next morning

had about three tomato plants living
There were GOOD many plants left
In the hOtbed, so on the 14th of
April I transplanted them again.

and the fertilizer spyinkled in the
bottom of the furrow. Then the
furrow was filled and the land was
ready for the plants.

very dry weather, and as the plants

 With lower rediscount rates now prevailing it is pointed out that the emergency currency and clearing. house certificates now outstanding may be retired and their places talk en, if the present amount of circula- ton is needed, by Federal Reserve Notes.
 The report reviews briefly the work of the Organization committee in SC. lecting reserve cities and defining re- serve districts and in conducting cleo lions for directors of reserve banks. It has a word of praise for the men | experienced in banking who accept ed the positions offered them by the board, often at personal sacrifice, as federal reserve agent or deputy agent of the various banks.
 The board reports that 1t hopes to keep within its first estimate of ex. pense for the six months beginning November 1, 1914, ps a result of which it levied $431 ,O4O on the twelve banks. It says a definite report of the normal expenses of the banks themselves cannot be made at this | time.

The jury returned a yer dict against Lynch and the court fined him BIO and costs, which amount in all to about $105. In default of payment of same Lynch was committed to the federal jail.

W. H. BLACWELL PASSES AWAY AT VALDEZ
 s

w. H. Blackwell, one of the old time citizens of Valdez, and well known to many people of Cordova, died suddenly last Tuesday at his home in that city. He had been com planning of a cold for several days, which affected his breating. Tues day he told the porter at his place of bushes to get a doctor and started upstairs. When he reached the top he collapsed, and when picked up was found to have passed away.
 Mir. Blackwell was secretary of the Valdez Electric Company, and a prominent member of the Alaska Pio- neers. Eagles and Arctic Brotherhood. Of the latter organization he was one of the founders. The order was orgi- mated on board the steamer City of Seattle, enroute to Skagway, in 1898, and on arrival of the vessel there the lodge was duly organized, MT. Black wells name being third on the list of the charter members.
 The body of the deceased was inter- red in Valdez, the funeral services being held under the auspices of the Eagles.

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK REPORT
 MAKES CRED|TABLE SHOWING

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-The first report of the federal reserve board covering the developments which pre- ceded the opening of the twelve re- gional reserve banks last November and the two months in which they have been in actual operation, has just been sent to Congress. It an- nounces that noteworthy results have already been accomplished and that the system now cannot be regarded as experimental in the sense that there is any uncertainty as to the outcome" No legislation is asked for, the board devoting it's report chiefly to an outline of how the new system has strengthened the nations financial situation.
 The report shows that 93 state banks and trust companies, with az gregate capital and surplus, of s9,. 151 1906, have been converted into na. tional banks and entered the system since the passage of the act Nine state banks and four trust compan. les, with capital and surplus of s17.. SS4,OOO have been admitted under their own charters, with the understanding that they will accept regulations for the conduct of business from the board. Applications from 51 other such institutions which prefer to wait for the issuance of regulations gov. ! erning their admission are pending before the board
 The report reviews the steps which led up to the decision to put the banks In operation November 16, declaring that after getting opinions from a great variety of sources, it found such diversity that it was guided by it's own estimate of the proper mo. ment. Events have since shown" if says, "that the opening of the insti tutions was wisely timed to synchro- nize with the restoration of activity in our export trade. When the fl. nancial anxiety which prevailed dur ing the latter part of the past sum- mer and the difficulty which was then experienced in getting banking accom- modations at reasonable rates, even upon security of undoubted solidity, are recalled, the substantial improve ment which has taken place since then becomes evident, and is a re- markable tribute not only to the re recuperative power of American commerce and industry. but also and largely ao the beneficial operation of the new banking system."s
 The report reviews the causes that led to the formation of the $1OO, ,OOO,, 900 gold pool, the 1885 100000 cotton loan fund, and to the issue of emer- gency currency by the Treasury and of clearinghouse certificates by asso- citations in the larger cities.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Workmen's Compensation Bill

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I note in the third column of page 3 in The AgeHerald of the 4th inst your representative, in reporting the hearing before the senate judiciary committee on the so-called ''workmen compensation bill" states that "the idea is favored by the operators and laborers as a rule, but is opposed by the lawyers of the so-called damage suit variety" I desire to correct the impression that might prevail in the mind of those concerned by stating, with emphasis. that the representatives of all organized labor in the state of Alabama appeared before the committee at this hearing In opposition to this so-called "workmen's compensation bill,'' which was submitted by the recess judiciary committee. and that no one appeared be- fore this committee at this hearing in behalf of the measure. Even the author of the bill himself, after discussing the measure at length at this hearing, was asked by the chairman if he was there in behalf of the measure. His answer was NO" In my opinion, this gentleman had by this time fully realized the one sidedness, unfairness and unpopularity of his bill. hence his answer No" and his failure to appear in it's behalf There posi- lively was not any damage suit lawyers or any other lawyers appeared before this committee at all, and from the best in- formation obtanabe none has opposed this so-oalled ''workmen's compensation measure.
 do not desire to discuss the merits of this bill if 1t has any @. However. l
 wish to correct another impression that might prevail in the minds of those con cerned after reading the article referred to in your issue of the 4th inst, which no doubt would cause a great many to be- lieve that the so-called ''workmen's com pensat tion measure" if enacted into law. would be elective by the employees None of the provisions of this bill would pro hibit the employers from compelling an applicant for work from contracting to settle under the provisions of this "com- pensation act in cases of personal in
 jury at the time they are empoyed3 and further, those already in the employ, failing within 30 days to notify the em- ployer of their unwllingness to settle un- der the provisions of the so-called work mems compensation act, would auto matically at the expiration of that time be compelled to settle under the pro- visions of the 'workmen's compensation act in case of personal injuries. This would permit a condition of allowing the employer, if he was so inclined, to dis criminste against the employe who notified
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-08-08

the employer that he would not settle un} der the provisions of the so-called work mems compensation law"
 To enact this bill into law with It's ex- tremely low rates, which are mere pitt taflce, would be a travesty on justice taking, for example, a railroad man los- ing one arm, which would completely in- capacitate him from serv,ce, thereby en- tirely destroying his earning capacity, he would receive the pitiful sum of s750, re- gardless of the negligence of the employer causing the injury.
 feel safe in saying that the legislators of the state of Alabama have too much intelligence and fairmindedness to even consider seriously this measure. Yours yer truly, cIIAS. K. HALL, Secretary B. of l.. E. Legislative Board.
