sweet corn. planted one row each week
after the proper season for planting has
arrived and to be followed in the autumn
by peas.
Where the distance between the rows is
less than two feet. hand cultivation with
wheel hoe is contemplated. II hand
cultivator or wheel hoe is not available.
the rows should be at least 2 feet apart to
give sufficient space for the horse cultiva-
tor. straight lines should be followed, no
matter what method Of culture Is used.
OF course. the plan is only suggestive, and
each grower will have TO devise additional
plans to suit his own conditions. Among
the things that particularly must be con-
sidered in each specific case Is the location
Of the garden. In this connection the
question Of the proximity Of the house
should be given first consideration. As
the work Of caring for the garden is usually
done in spare time, the location selected
should be as near the house as possible.
The slope and type Of soil should be the
next considerations. A slope TO the south
or southeast is usually preferable, because
here the soil warns up early in the spring,
which permits early planting and stimu-
lates the early growth Of crops. Practi-
cally any type Of soil can be used for the
garden. but sandy loan Is to be preferred.
Good drainage is Of prime Importance.
The land should have sufficient fall to
drain of the surplus water during heavy
rains. but the fall should not be 80 great
as TO wash the soil. II the land near the
house Is level, artificial drainage should
be employed. Open bitches or tile drains
will be satisfactory On level land that
is not artifcially drained II Is necessary
to plant on ridges or in beds to prevent
drowning the crops during wet weather.
The ridges or beds should be as wide and
flat as conditions will allow. for narrow.
sharp ridges dry out quickly.
In planning the location Of crops. con-

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
:;::t:;:;::::s.st:::;;;

There is nothing more irritating
to the people OF a small town than
the air of superiority that people
from larger towns have towards them
and their village. 1t is hard to say
just what prompts the city man to
feel greater than the villager, but he
almost invariably does, and what
makes it worse, shows it in his ac-
tions.
1t is the weakness of city people,
this belief of theirs, that country peo-
pie are back numbers. The man
from a city concern pays the country
business man a visit and shows plain
ly that he considers the little mer-
chant very small potato; but if he
were wise enough to realize the truth
of their respective businesses, he
would know that the back-number
merchant, as he looks upon him, is
laying by each year more money than
the city chap is drawing as hired
man from company that could find
a thousand like him in a days time.
The narrow-brained lecturer drops
into the small town, and at the be-
ginning of his talk mentions that he
has changed his subject, "for fear
the one announced would be over the
| haodc of bie ou5ionoo ond tbo,, -
ceeds to ramble along for couple
of hours with stale stories and dis
connected ideas, boring his auditors
half to death. The Chautauqua en-
tertainer, until he has had a good
deal of experience; the travelling
salesman, up to the time he becomes
of some value to his house; the tran
sient visitor, on a chance business or
| pleasure trip; the young city employe,
before he learns the lessons of the
relation of capital to business, where
ever it is employed-all of them
make the same mistake of misjudging
the capacity, the intelligence and the
character of country people.
If there is such a thing as superb
ority between city and country folks,
the latter have the best opportunity
of securing it. But as people, there
is no difference between those who
live in cities and those who live in
the country. They all read the same
magazines, the same newspapers and
the same books; they hear the same
lecturers and see the same theatrical
performances; they attend the same
high schools and graduate from the
same colleges and universities; they
take the same trips, visit the same
vacation resorts, and make as many
excursions abroad; they ride in Pull
mans as often, and pay their bills as
regularly; and when everything is
counted, it is hard to point outNRny
difference between them, except thai
the country people have the advant-
age of freedom from the life in
throngs, and from the scramble fol
a livelihood with great numbers con.
testing for a share.

COLLEGE HELPS THE
FARMER BOY AND GIRL

The Extension Service, o. A. c.,
through the Boys and Girls Club
movement, is making a special effort
to help the boys and girls who cannot
attend school. The college is making
this work practical correspondence
course. In addition to the circulars
and reference books dealing with
each boys and girls special project,
an effort is being made to follow up
the correspondence instruction with
personal visitation by members of
the central extension staff and by
the county agriculturist, whenever
one is employed in county in which
the student resides.
Results obtained thus far indicate
that not only are such boys and girls
getting a practical training in agri-
culture and home economics through
the club movement, but they are feel
ing the need of more school training

The Smith-Emery contract is per-
fectly legal as it stands and the work
has not been stopped on the physical
plant. 1t was found that the powers
of the springs water commission we're
not broad enough to allow it to spend
money on the park Improvement
without standing liable for diversion
of funds. The charter amendment
cures that and will enable the COM
mission to go forward with it's origi-
nal plans for park development. I'm
less the amendment is adopted it is
not likely that springs water COM
missioners can be found who will
spend the money on the park and
assume the legal financial RESPONSE
bility. Because the present commits
sioners were not willing to do that
is why the election is called.

DOCTORS OF MECHANICS.

So many laborious tasks have been
taken over by machines, and so far
reaching has been the area of occu-
patton, that it is only by pausing and
taking a good look backward we can
realize the progress made in this di-
rection. A new and remarkable la
bor-saving invention is flashed into
view; it is the talk and wonder of
all for a few days and then retires
to give place in the public mind to
another which in turn must yield to
yet another. Was there ever such an
age, and where and when will we
reach the limit of human initiative?
On the farm, in the household, on
land and sea, in shops, and in the
air, it is one continuous story of the
mastery of mind over matter. Imme-
diately any service assumes large pro.
portions and is difficult, or danger
Gus, or specially tiresome to perform,
just so quickly the laws OF mechanics
and science under the direction OF
brilliant minds and tireless energies,
are concentrated on the problem.
And like a piece of ice under the TO-
Gus of burning glass, no matter how
cold the day, the problem melts and
yields to a force it cannot resist.
What at first are expensive luxur-
les, under the pressure of demand
soon become daily necessities, to be
produced and sold at price within
the reach of thousands. The mar
who invents and he vino by reason o.
study, experiment and organization
finds the way to manufacture a help
full article for a dollar which other
wise would cost ten to make-these
doctors of mechanics-are doing {
work fSS humanity in every way ne
less valuable than anything accom-
plished by our famous doctors O.
medicine.
1t affords positive relief to turr
our thoughts from the weary depres
sion of war to that helpful, hopeful
progress which moves steadily, IRE
sistibly onward and upward.
