THE MANAGEMENT OF SEED BEDS.

Have you ever had trouble with your
seed bed? The question of obtaining
proper tobacco beds has long been a
problem to tobacco growers. Nearly
every grower has some idea or indlvlG-
ual method in regard to the best way
to tend his seed bed.
After the plants first appear above
ground they are very weak and require
very careful attention. Now what IS
the best method to pursue in order to
make these tender young seedlings
grow into the best plants? There are
several things to be kept In mind.
First, do not allow the soil to cry out
on the surface as this may check the
growth or even kill some plants. Sec
ond, do not use cold water to wet the
beds. Let it stand in barrels in the
sun until the chill has been taken off.
Third, do not flood the water on the
plants, sprinkle it on carefully and
thoroughly so as to allow it to soak in
to the soil gradually. When the plants
are small, water them frequently, but
when they have good root system de-
veloped it is better to apply the water
thoroughly and rarely than to add it in
small applications at frequent inter-
walls. A little experimenting will tell
when and how much water to apply.
Have you ever had trouble with
plants coming on before time to plant?
This is especially likely to happen in
the case of steamed soils if little
foresight is not used. If the seed is
sown about two weeks later on steamed
beds than on unsteamed, this may be
avoided The best way to check this
rapid growth is to take off the canvas
about three or four weeks before plant
ing. This will usually retard the growth
and will also make the plants become
hardened.
If the beds were not steamed the
considerable number of seeds which
always appear should be pulled out as
soon as they are large enough to pull.
The bed should be well watered the day
previous to the wedding SO as to make
the weeds pull easier. If the seed has
been sown too thick it is well to thin
out some of the plants at this time.
The easiest way to thin the plants is
by raking out some of the plants with
a common fine-toothed rake. After
taking out a sufficient number, if the
plants still cover the ground 1t is safe
to water the bed, but if the bed looks
IUlIl UO IlOC WdICI .N0y c1LC4
thinning or the plants which have been
raked may grow again.
However, on the other hand, the bed
NAV be backward in growth. It some
times happens that the young plants
become checked and take on an un-
healthy yellow appearance at about the
time they are half grown. This is due
generally to the soil becoming very
compact, making it difficult for the
roots to get down into the soil. In this
case it is we'll to use liquid fertilizer
of some kind. Nitrate of soda has
proven the best to USE Two or three
pounds dissolved in barrel of water
and sprinkled over the bed will do won
ders for the backward plants. A fer
tilizer is usually not necessary IN the
bed when it has been steamed. This
nitrate of soda may be procured for
about six or seven cents a pound.

the trees are shutting out from the
homes. Then, too, we sometimes
make improvements and in order to
get shade and play room for children
we build large porches, which often
extend out over windows, making our
homes dark, and again shutting out
sunlight. Let the sunlight in. It is
sterilizer, preventative of disease
and every home should be so con-
strcted or arranged that good, bright,
solar light can reach every corner
some time during the day and if the
sun can pour right in so much the bet
ter. To my mind the ideal home
stands amid flowers and shrubs, but
unshaded by trees. Shade, however,
should be provided so that the child
rem and others can reach It easily,
but the large-growing shade trees
should be planted far enough from
the house so that their shade will not
darken a room or interfere with the
rays of the sun, searching, as 1t
would almost seem, for germ life,
that loves to seek its shelter in the
corners and darkened places Of mans
dwellings.

Now, ! haven't had the railroad mans

folks here today of two ways where
that railroad would get returns. Now
then, whether we think Of it or not,
a well-managed railway values the
goodwill of the people along its route
That goodwill has money value. 1t
promotes good feeling between the
patrons and the railroad and that good
feeling makes for efficiency in the
conducting of their business. That
nice, well-kept station and that beau
tiful lawn, with its fiower-beds, was
referred to by the people of that lit
tie town as our station grounds.
They took pride in it and that pride
promoted good feeling between the
people and the railroad company, so
that business was pleasantly trans
acted. Now, think there is where
the railroad was getting returns on

Overcrowded conditions at the District
Jail are attributed to the delay of the
courts in disposing of criminal cases. by

stitution. in a synopsis OF his annual re-
port. submitted to Commissioner New
man yesterday. The heads of the vari-
Gus branches of the District submit these
synopses to be complied in book form
for the use Of Congress.
The large population at the jail Is
due to two things" reads the report
First. the necessary number Of prison.
ers with jail sentences, held to do the
detailed work IN the various departments
Of the Washington Asylum and jail, and.
second, the delay in ,disposing OF crirni-
nal cases by the courts. Some prisoners
have been waiting trial many months.
Long Detention Hurtful.
1T seems necessary TO have additional
provisions to try criminal cases. Long
detention in Jail Is hurtful to the mind
and body. The total commitments to
jail are very large and will continue so
unless the. law is changed"
The foregoing statement bears a timely
significance to the action OF Chief JUS
tice Covington several days ago In ap-
pointing a committee OF lawyers to sug-
gest revisions in the District code of
laws.
- The fixed sentence is OF little benefit
to the offender" the report continues.

Heavy Clothing and Less Steam Heat
Aid Health and Pocket, Says Woodward

Wear heavy clothing and keep
down the steam in the furnace II you
would be healthy during the winter.
This is the advice of DR.. William
c. Woodward, District health officer.
who points out as an inducement
that you would thereby greatly re-
duce your coal bill and could put the
money spent for cough syrup into the
bank.
II do not believe in wearing light
clothing during the cold months.
said DR.. Woodward. but the high
degree of heat maintained in office
buildings and in many homes makes
it unsafe to wear heavy clothing.
"A man, for instance. wears heavy
clothing when he leaves for work.
Well, If the heat at his place of en-
ployment is kept up to Il degrees
that man is uncomfortable and I'M
safe II the heat were kept down to
about so the man would be healthier.
And aside from the health view.
1t is an economic proposition. Figure
the amount of coal that could be
saved during the entire winter by this
reduction in the heating of our
buildings"
In referring to the common COM
plant that weather conditions change
SO frequently and suddenly in Wash
ington, DIR. Woodward said:
II do not think the changes in the
temperature or other weather condi-
lions are very dangerous to health II
a person trains his system and regu-
lates his habits to meet the condi-
tons

works too hard or does not get SUM-
