Effects OF a TIe-Up

1t is calculated that if a general tie
up and paralysis of all freight traffic
should result from the demand. of the
freight trainmen for an increase Of 25
per cent in their wages, a large num-
ber Of the poorer people Of New York
City would face starvation within
three days; in other words, these
people have available supplies Of food
for not more than two days ahead.
Other large cities would face like con-
ditions. Milk supplies would be cut
of, and babies dependent on the daily
milk jar for sustenance would be left
to perish. The distress would reach
all classes everywhere, and more

case in point arises out Of statement

In Sundays Spokesman Review was
a letter from a man in Alberta to the
chamber Of commerce, asking that
something be done to keep Americans
from going to Canada, and saying that
that government was run by the rail-
! roads, banks and manufacturers; that
once a man got there he never could
get away. Had this man published
that letter over his own signature
there is no doubt but he could get out
of Canada.
No country will do as much to help
a man to get. on his feet, if he tries to
help himself, as Canada. know of

visions, feed, seed grain and fuel, and

PREPARE. SEEDED FOR OATS
~ Generally u Necessary q ,PIow
~ Land Before sowlng-Disk Har-
TOW 10 Recommended.

Oats usually follow a cultivated
crop such as corn or potatoes; hence
it Is not generally necessary to plow
the land before sowing. Oats do well
on fall-plowed land, but If the land
has not been plowed in the fall better
yields are usually produced from
sowing in 4 seeded made by disk
ing and narrowing than in one made
by spring blowing. Early seeding for
oats is very desirable. AS a good seed
bed can be made much more quickly
with the disk harrow than with the
plow on land that was in a cultivated
crop last year, the saving in time is
an advantage. Two diskings and one
narrowing with the spike-toothed har-
row Will put clean land in good shape
for sowing with the drill.
Oats grow best in a seedbed that
has or inches of loose surface soil,
but which Is firm below that depth.
This is another reason why disking is
to be preferred to spring blowing, for
there is not time for plowed land to
settle before the seed is sown. Still
another reason why the disk is better
is that field can be plowed, and the
cheaper way of doing a job should
always be chosen if it gives just az
good results as the more expensive
way.

Qrom the United States Department Of
/ Agriculture.)
Even the smallest back yard may
be made to yield a supply of fresh
vegetables for the family table at but
slight expense If two or three crops
are successively grown to keep the
area occupied all the time, according
to tie garden specialists of the de-
partment. People who would discharge
clerk If he did not work the year
round will often cultivate a garden at
no little trouble and expense and then
allow the soil to lie idle from the time
tho fist crop natures until the end of
the season. Where a two or three
crop system is used in connection
with vegetables adapted to small
areas, a space no larger than rs by 70
feet will produce enough fresh vege-
tables for small family. Corn, mel
ons, cucumbers, and potatoes and 9TH
er crops which require large area
should not be grown in a garden of
this size. Half an acre properly cul-
tivated with careful crop rotation
may easily produce 800 worth of vari,
Gus garden crops in a year.
When to Work Soil.
If the garden was not broken in the
fall. it should be plowed in the spring
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. Small areas may be worked
with a spade, pushing the blade in to
Its full depth and turning the soil to
break up the clods. Heavy soils should
never be worked when wet. Overzeal.

given to its preparation. After spade
ing the Enclosure thoroughly, the up.
per three inches should be made fine
with the use of hoe and rake Stones
and rubbish should be removed and
clods of dirt broken. The surface
should be made even and as level az
possible. It may then be marked of
for planting in conformity with the
general plan of the garden.
Barnyard or stable manure is the
best fertilizer because it furnishes both
plant food and humus. An application
at the rate of from 20 to 80 tons to
the acre of well-rotted manure is very
satisfactory. This should be applied
after blowing or working with a spade,
and distributed evenly over the sur
face and later worked in with q hoe
and rake. On many soils it is ad-
visable to apply commercial fertilizer,
especially phosphate, in addition to
the manure. An application of 300
to 600 pounds of acid phosphate to the
acre is usually sufficient. If addition
al potash is needed, which is often
the case with sandy soils, this may be
economically supplied in the form of
wood ashes. If the wood ashes are
unleached they should be distributed
over the garden, using 1000 pounds to
the acre. If they have been wet, or
leached, 1000 pounds should be used.
An application of 100 pounds to the
acre of nitrate Of soda may be used in
the spring to start the plants before
the nitrogen in the manure has become
available. It should be borne in mind
that commercial fertilizers will not
yield good results unless the soil is
well supplied with humus. Sod or
other vegetation which has overgrown
a garden spot may be used to advan.
