peace emissaries of Germany have
been active in several of the neutral

TO act. be the outcome what it

held.
Col. House accepted the mission
and Immediately the United States
embassies in London, Berlin and

influential members of the govern

1t is believed that Col. House did

President Approves.
After Pres't Wilson had approved
the suggestion of sending an envoy
TO Europe and Col House had ac-
cepted the mission it was necessary
for the German ambassador to
transmit private messages to the
German foreign office announcing
the success Of his undertaking. This
had TO be done without the knowl-
edge of England. as Germany did
not want TO give the impression that
she was taking an initiatory step
toward peace because this might be
construed as weakness.
Count Won Bernstorff was given
permission TO use the private chan

and the information was thus trans

Sowing Spinach Seed In Whit,

Sowing Spinach Seed In Winter.
Few people realize that spinach seed
can be planted during the last of Feb
ruary or first part Of March, says the
American Agriculturist. The ground
should be prepared the fall before by
blowing and narrowing. At the time
mentioned the spinach seed is broad
casted over the ground, using about
twenty pounds Of the thick leaf vari-
ETY. to the acre. If the soil happens to
be workable at that time it may be
lightly narrowed. In any event light,
even coating of rotted stable manure
should be spread over the ground to
cover the seed.
Planted in this manner the seeds viii
terminate and grow little every sun
ny day, and by the usual time for plant
ing the spring spinach these plants
will be we'll started. The crop will be
ready for cutting aweek or ten days
earlier than it would be otherwise.

bushel, or fully twice as much as the
later varieties. The trees are hardy,
and little trouble is experienced from
insects. In the spring there are usual
~ some insect pests, but If once de-
stroyed there is no more trouble for
the rest OF the season. The plums are
easy to harvest, as the trees are not
very high. The money for this prod
uct of the farm comes when other fruit
crops are beginning to ripen, and on
most farms it is greatly appreciated.
Currants and gooseberries, like plums,
give the farmer few days in which to
turn around. The work of picking,
marketing and canning is less urgent
than with strawberries. In planning a
little farm all these factsmust be kept
in mind. Then there are other prod:
ucts which seem to harmonize with
fruit growing and help to keep up a
cash income without a great deal Of
drudgery. Poultry and bees belong in
this category.
Honey is an interesting side line to
fruit growing that may be profitably
enlarged upon in many localities with
benefits accruing two ways. The hon
ey crop itself is often a money crop,
and aside from this bees are about the
best thing going to develop full fruit,
ing and perfect fruit in an orchard.
There are many instances where peo-
pie with old orchards uncertain and
unsatisfactory in fruiting have devel-
oped them into fine producers by keep
ing a lot of bees and distributing the
colonies over the orchard so that they
get at the trees in bloom time.
It may be necessary-probably will
to grow other crops to supply the bees,
such as white clover, buckwheat, alfal-
ia, and so on. However, the return
from the honey crop will Justify all
this. Meantime the bees will get part
of their support from the apple trees
while they are in bloom. and in re-
turn they will improve the quality and
yield of the apple crop itself enough
to make them profitable investment.
OF course some people take more
kindly to or have better success with
bees than others. It is mistake to
! be easily disheartened. Bees seem es-
sential to the welfare Of orchards, and
those who have had trouble and be-
come discouraged should persist In ef-
forts to keep an apiary. By continued
study and experiments difficulties can
be overcome, and in time the bees can
be made profitable themselves, while
at the same time they contribute ma
terially to the profits of fruit growing
by the work of fertilizing the trees
while in bloom. .
