harvested the second crop will be in
bearing and the plants of the third
well advanced.
Next study your garden bulletins or
books on horticulture and the seed cat
alogues to determine what can be
grown in your climate under the con-
ditions Of exposure, soil and drainage
in your back yard. This study may
lead you to plan bitches to improve
drainage, show you that your soil
needs finely sifted ashes to break up
its sticky character or that you must
add rotted manure, dried blood. bone
meal, wood ashes, lime or other fer
tilizers to make it suitable for vege-
tables.
Then comes the consultation with
the family to determine the sorts of
vegetables the different members like
and which, therefore. they personally
will be interested in raising. Confine
your selections to the standard well
tried sorts. Finally. and this is most
important, is the conference between
the garden force and the housewife as
to what vegetables really are worth
raising in the back yard. It will hard
ly pay to raise in small space pota-
toes. corn. cucumbers, squashes or
melons, which occupy a large area in
proportion to yield and which can be
bought cheaply in nearby markets.
In general the aim Of the back yard
gardener should be to raise those veg
etables which are either expensive or
in which the flavor or quality depends
Importantly on absolute freshness. Peas
and string beans or lima beans, to be
at their best, should be cooked almost
Immediately after they are gathered.
Peas kept even for a day lose their
delicate bloom and sweetness Conse-
quently as much space as possible
should be devoted to such vegetables,
and other vegetables in which fresh
ness does not count so Importantly
should largely be used as filters to
keep the ground at work. Effort also
should be made in a garden to have
special vegetables. such as okra, Of
which the family is fond and which
are difficult to obtain in local markets
or are commonly high priced. The
housewife probably will want a little
bed Of parsley, chives or other herbs.
not because they are expensive to buy.
but because Of the convenience of be-
ing able to pick sprig just when it is
needed.

PLANTING CORN.
Tho Time to Plant Varies With the
Season and tho Locality.

Tho Time to Plant Varies With the
Season and tho Locality.
When the ground becomes sufficiently
warm to start the leaves on the deep
rooted trees, like the oak, the walnut
and the Usage orange. it is time to
plant corn. according to G. Q. Cunning
ham, assistant in cooperative expert
ments in the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
"The time to plant corn varies with
the season and the locality. The grow
ing season in southern Kansas is from
two to three weeks earlier than that in
northern Kansas. In the western part
Of the state the altitude is factor in
fluencing the time of planting. in that
the season is shortened as a result of
the greater elevation.
"Under average conditions there is a
period Of about three weeks during
which corn may be planted with equal
chances of success, although some
times, because of peculiar climatic con-
ditions, very early or very late plant
ings are best. In the northern and the
northeastern portions Of the state
from May 1 to 20 is, on the average.
the best time to plant corn. while in
southern Kansas most Of the corn is
planted In the last three weeks Of
April"
The time required to mature the va
riety Of corn grown Is a factor to be
considered, points out Mr.. Cunning
ham. Early maturing varieties may be
planted comparatively late with good
results. while late maturing ones must
necessarily obtain an early start in Or
der to ripen properly. Since the top
soil becomes warm earlier than the
subsoil. the surface planted corn may
be seeded earlier than the listed corn.
A wet soil warns up more slowly
than a comparatively dry one. Corn
consequently can be planted in the
dryer soils earlier than in the wet ones.
For this reason early planting is safer
in western than in eastern Kansas. be-
cause Of the naturally drier condition
Of the soil in the western part of the
state.

PROSPERITY

Prosperity is no longer a catch
word. 1t is here. 1t is rolling in
pillows over this great nation. The
streams of gold have turned our
way and are flooding the land. With
factories working day and night,
with every ship loaded to the limit,
with merchandise and all supplies
piled high in warehouses awaiting
cars, with elevators and storehouses
fairly bursting with high priced
farm products, the United States is
cashing in as she never did before.
Idaho is a silver state. Silver
was recently quoted at 72. 1t
reached this high water mark by
leaps and bounds which had not
been attained in the last thirty
years or more and predictions are
rife that the end is not yet. What
does all this mean to Idaho? The
question need not be answered for
everybody knows.
Business is good and is growing
better. People are spending their
money. At this time this commun-
ity is alive, as never before, to get
ting its share of this great business.
The time for community growth is
now and it will never be better. A
single glance at the advertising
columns of the Gazette shows that
our business men understand the
situation. The columns of the Gaz-
cite fairly groan with live advertis-
ing matter which is attracting uni
versal attention. There is no publ
cation in the state of the class of
the Gazette, that is carrying so
many and such bright, newsy adj
vertisments. Every publication
that reaches the consumer today
is iammed with advertising matter

HANDLING MANURE.

o There is no better or more eco
D nomical method of handling ma

o the fields, meadows or pastures.
o Once 1t is there any plant food
o which teaches from it finds its
o way Immediately into the ground
o where it belongs. Even on hill
o sides the absorbing power of the
o soil is such that little fertility Is
o lost when this plan Is followed.
o There can be only exceptional
o instances where manure cannot
o be handled daily by loading the
o spreader as the barns are clean
o ed. In these instances a cement

o as to protect its contents from

A COMMUNITY CLUB

The attention OF our readers Is
called to the ACCESSIBILITY of form
ing a Community Club. These
Clubs, organized in many parts of
the country, are primarily suited to
villages the size of Kendrick and it
would pay to carefully consider the
matter of forming one.
We're it possible to organize a
Club for the whole community in
Kendrick it would be equally posi-
BILE to discuss and come to some
conclusion upon every question of
local public concern. Such ques-
lions as taxing the community for a
public library, for sewage system,
for good roads, etc., could be argued
pro and con with much interest and
benefit to all concerned.
Organization accomplishes things.
The people ought to get together
more than they do and talk over
publicly the things that concern
them as a community and as individ-
uals. Such meetings raise the
standard of the intelligence of the
community and are great help in
keeping the village officials in the
ways that they should 60 in order
that they might be in harmony with
public sentiment.
Many communities have organ
lied such clubs with marked success.
Through such means men of in
flunce, officers of the state and lead
ing educators can often be secured
as speakers at no expense to the
Club. In fact we capnot see how
any one can question such a move
ment on the part of the people for
better things. Rome was not built
in day, neither would such a club
accomplish every thing desirable at
once for it would take time to fully
organize and get in line for the
most effective work.
We would be glad if our readers
would write US an expression of
their opinions of such an organiza-
ton and should it meet with public
approval the Gazette would be glad
to publish detailed plans, such as
have been in successful operation
elsewhere, for the more careful
consideration of those interested in
community progress.

AN ECHO FROM IDAHO

AN ECHO FROM IDAHO
The New York World has pointed
out the way in which the Republican
party can rehabilitate itself on
basis of the highest and finest patri-
otism. That way is to endorse the
nomination of President Wilson and
give Europe an inspiring example
of American solidarity in the midst
of the greatest crisis known to
modern civilization.
To which the Idaho Statesman
replies:-The Republicans of Idaho
might be for it, that is, if the Twin
Falls convention really represented
them. A resolution instructing the
delegation to Chicago to vote for
none but Republican was over
whelmingly voted down by that
convention. Idaho's delegation is
certainly free to vote for President
Wilson.
The Gazette indorses both the
World and the Statesman. As an
independent joural the Gazette is
free to assert that Wilson, under
the most trying conditions ever
confronting a president, has shown
himself competent and loyal, a true
American. The people, whom poll
ticians are supposed to let rule,
have confidence in him. Why not
make it unanimous.
If man is not buried, that is not
always a sure sign that he is not
dead.
You have failed in life to the
extent that you have not been and
are not now, living up to your
ideals.
The world is growing better
every day despite the number of
traitors and crooks
If we could only perceive the
secret struggles and difficulties and
heart aches of one another, there
would be less harshness in this beau
tiful world of ours.
We always envy the fellow above
US, never the fellow below.
The biggest and richest churches
are not always the warmest, neither
are the biggest and richest men
always the most generous.
Let us all remember, in dealing
with our fellow men. that 60
minutes make an hour, that 16
ounces make pound and 100 cents
make a dollar.
There is nothing succeeding these
days like Woman Suffrage. If the
women in the disfranchised states
continue to work in the future as
they have done in the past, the time
is not far distant when the coveted
prize will be achieved. 1t is a big
work and in our judgment the fran
chise must be worked out state by
state. The country is not yet pre-
pared for national Acknowledgement
A pioneer resident of the Palouse
country who lives near Moscow
made the statement in the Star
Mirror that in his opinion the
Palouse country would not yield
more than half a crop this season.
Wouldn't that frost you! It's
comfort to know that no one can
prophesy what kind of a season the
Palouse will bring forth, all any one
can do is just guess.
Don't be man or woman with
conscience requiring an alarm clock
to awaken it.

 It taketh me to ride amid green pastures, it leadeth me beside the still waters.
 It recuperateth my soul; it lead eth me ill the paths of good society for it's name's sake.
 Yea, though I ride through the valleys and the shadows of peril, will fear no evil: for my Ford is with me and will bring mo out. Its rods and its engines they com. fort me.
 It performeth most wonderful feats in spite of its enemies; I an nointest its bearings with oil, and its wheels runneth over everything.
 Surely good times and prosperity shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will tell of the wonders of the Ford forever.
