too obvious to need emphasis. lf the

GRAFT IN WAR CONTRACTS

 Every war brings it's sorid trail of the business camp followers who enrich themselves through such frauds But for every dirty dollar brought home in this way, the coun- fry will eventually lose ten by the damage done for our reputation for commercial honesty. s

EAsILY-GRowN VEGETABLES
 FOR AMATEUR GARDENERS
Truck Crops Which Have Given Sat- 1sfactory Returns in Gardens
 for School Children.

Washington, March 16.-Radishes, lettuce, beans, beets, and tomatoes are all comparatively east1y-grown Yege- tables which give satisfactory returns in the spring garden. The U. s. De- partment of AgricuIture's specialist recommends these particularly for use in school gardens which are run for the benefit of the children. Not only teachers, but others desiring to raise these truck crops in their own home gardens may benefit from these suggestions:
 Radfshes- are hardy plants and thrive best during the cool weather of early spring and late autumn. Tn the south they can best be grown during the winter and early spring months. The seeds should be soWn in drills in rich we'll inch apart and buried not deeper than 1 inch nor less than one-half inch. When the plants are showing the second set of true leaves they should be thinned to stand from 2 to inches apart in the row.
 Lettuce-Iettuce is a hardy plant and thriVes best during early spring and late autumn. The seeds should be soWn in drills in the open or in boxes in the window. If in the open, the seeds should be scattered about one-half inch apart along the row,
 
 inch with earth. Firm the earth well over the seeds, so as to bring the moist soil in contact with them When the plants are we'll up, thin to 6 inches apart in the row. If the seeds were sown in a. window box, hotbed, frame, or greenhouse, transA plant the young plants to stand 2 by 2 inches apart as soon as the seed leaves are well expanded, and when they begin to crowd transfer them to their permanent places in the open, if the weather will permit. In the field, they should stand at least 6 inches apart each way.
 Beans.-Beans are tender plants They can not endure frost and will not stand transplanting we'll. It is best to wait and plant the seeds of this plant in the open where the plants are to grow, delaying the work until severe frosts are past Plant in rows foot apart, placing the seeds about 2 inches deep at intervals of 6 inches. Keep the soil loose and free from weeds.
 Beets.-Beets, while they are hardy and can be planted at the same time as radishes and lettuce, require a longer season for maturing The seeds should be planted in rows 1 foot apart, placed an inch apart in the row and covered 1 inch deep. When the plants are we'll up c inches high,) thin to .4inches apart in the row. Keep the soil we'll titled at all times.
 Tomatoes.-The tomato is the most exacting of all the plants included in the collection. From Washington southward the seeds may be planted in the open at the same time as
