Planting Sweet Peas

THE general directions FOR planting
sweet peas is to dig a trench

manure first, then layer OF soil. then
plant the seeds thiclxly. Cover an inch

around them
Here is a tried out way:
Select a place on the sunny side OF
fence or building and dig a furroW
about five inches deep. Into this FUR
row scatter fine well rotted stable ma
nure to the depth of two or three
inches, then cover this with about an
inch Of soil. so that the seed will not
come in contact with the dressing. Sow
the seed evenly and cover to the depth
of about two inches. Should you mako
another sowing six weeks later they

and one piece froclxs.

While Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy
strikingly suggests that he has gained

What reason has MI. Wilson to be-

that he always knew just what the

so that, "the last time deputation
visited me about Mexico thought !
would save time. and told them exact
ly what they were going to say to me-
and they went away very much con-
fused"
To a man less proud in his own con-

when all his informants told him the
same story 1t might be that they were
telling the truth, and that he was MIS-
informed? When q number OF men

moment lay aside his overweanlng con-

realize that when all who came to him

Mr.. Wilson is exhibiting extraordi-
nary dilatoriness about submitting the
data on Mexico which has been called
for by resolution Of the Senate. Is It
because he Is ASHAMED Of the record
or because he still believes all his
