This flower will grow in any good
garden soil that is well drained, pro-
vided it Is in a sunny and open loca-
ton. To secure early flowers and best
results, spring sowing Is generally
used. In order to have the plants
strong, they should be sown early.
They should be sown just as soon as
the ground can be worked. To de-
termine when the ground is dry
enough to work, take up some of the
soil and form it into ball with the
hand. II it falls apart. the ground IL
dry enough to work. Some start the
plants in paper pots or thumb pots in
the hot bed, but especially good re-
suits are obtained by sowing outdoors.
Prepare the soil we'll by spading
deeply. Adding well rotted manure
will be a great benefit. Then make q
shallow trench about inches deep, in
the bottom Of this, plant the seed two
inches apart. Where one uses poultry
netting or brush, to serve as trellis,
two rows may be sown to inches
apart.

Paris, March 13.-With the excep
ton of two small infantry attacks,
which were quickly broken down by
the French, the German crown prince
has attempted nothing except heavy
artillery operations in the battle rag
ing around Verdun the last twenty
four hours.
Apparently the bombardment order
ed by the crown prince is of almost
unprecedented severity, for the state
ment of the French war Office is taken
I'D almost entirely with accounts OF
the heavy Smelling Of the French po
sitions. German guns have been &C
tive from the region north of the Ais
ne across the front and south to he
Woevre plain.
The cannonade has been particular
ly violent at Bethincourt, on the left
bank of the Mouse, and at the posi-
lions around the villages and forts
OF NauX ana DOuaumOuI.
The German troops have made no
further attempt to advance near Vaux.
It is the opinion in Paris that the Ger
man Infantry suffered such. heavy
losses in the recent fighting there as
to be incapable of reorganizing for
some time.
The crown prince, however, in the
wooded section near the Cote du Poi
vre, ordered the Germans to attack.
German detachments armed with hand
renades were sent forward, but on
closing in with the French were re-
pulsed in hand-to-hand fighting.
Several miles to the east the Ger
mans had better success in close
range fighting and captured a small
trench near Etain in the Woevre re-
gion, just north Of Elk, where an in
tense Smelling of the French position
cleared the way for foot forces to
occupy a minor station.
That the Germans have not given
I'D hope of dealing hard blow to the
French on the Rheims-Soisson front
north of the Aisne Is indicated by the
heavy bombardment to which the kai-
ser's commanders are subjecting this
section of the line. The French state.
ment reports ceaseless shell fire
against the wooded section south OF
the Vile aux Bots, indicating that the
Germans intend to continue the often.
sive undertaken here.
These positions skirt the famous
Craonne plateau, where year ago
such savage fighting took place. Re-
Gently only little activity had been
reported from this region until Friday.
Coincident with a lull In the Verdun
battle, the kaiser's commanders
launched a sudden attack at the
French salient, near Vile aux Bois.
The Germans won q good footlold,
but the French asserted that the Ger.
mans were driven out In a$s1Eo1s
counter attack and lost nearly ali the
ground they had gained.
In view Of the renewed activity Of
the German guns it Is suspected the
kaiser's commanders are waiting for
another chance to throw infantry
against the French positions, perhaps
to create diversion affecting the final
outcome of the struggle at Verdun.
The German war Office announced
that since the beginning Of the at.
tack on Verdun the Germans have
taken 430 officers, 26,042 unwounded
men, 1S9 guns and 232 machine guns.

INCREASED RAY YIELDS
FROM TOP DRESSING
Experiments Prove Use Of Fertllizerp
In The Spring Most Profitable.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

NlChOLAS SCdMl1A,
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.
The production of the average TIM
othy meadow in Maryland is very fac
below what 1t can be made to yield
profitably In both quality and yield per
acre. The low yields and poor quality
are not due so much to poor germ1na-
ton and poor stand in the spring after
seeding as to the crowding out OF the
timothy by weeds. Where weeds are
the determining factor the remedy Is
sowing the timothy, or timothy and
clover, alone in the early fall. not with
a grain crop, but after the grain crop
has been harvested and a fine. firm
seedbed prepared.
Where the stand Of timothy Is fair
the yield can be prof1tably increased
by the use Of commercial fertilizers.
Extensive tests at the Maryland Ex-
pertinent Station with various kinds
and combinations of fertilizers have
shown beyond question that the best
fertilizer for timothy is nitrate of soda
or a combination Of nitrate Of soda
and acid rock. The proper amount
to apply depends Of course upon the
fertility Of the soil, but ordinarily
nitrate Of soda should be applied at
the rate of from $50 to $50 pounds
per acre, and If a combination Of acid
rock and nitrate Of soda is used, equal
parts, the mixture should be applied
at the rate of 200 to $50 pounds per
acre. Such an application under
ordinary conditions may be expected
to give an increase in yield Of from
/ to IL tons per acre.
The time Of applying the fertilizer is
very important. 1t should be applied
as soon as the grass begins to green,
which is usually the latter part of
March or the first of April The early
application Of the fertilizer is abso-
lutely necessary for maximum returns,
for the fertilizer can not be made use
Of by the plant until 1t has been dis.
solved and carried down into the soil.
The early application makes use OF
the early rains.
Many farmers have been disap-
pointed when using nitrate of soda
because they have applied it too late
or at time when there was not sum.
cient moisture to dissolve It, SO that
the timothy would get full use OF
what was applied before maturing.
