BE SURE
TO WORK
THE SOIL

Coming from Portland with
many years of active garden work
and experience behind him, NJ. O..
Evans, the garden expert Of the
city schools, has started active
work in the various schools in in
Iteresting the pupils to grow vege-
tables and increase the size OF
their gardens.
After making a tour of the city
yesterday he today warned Taco
mans against the mistake of too
little cultivation of the soil.
"A great many vacant lots are
being planted to potatoes. BY
far the largest number of these
have been very poorly prepared in
deed. Heavy sod has been turned
under which discing or cutting
In any way. That means weeds and
grass will probably give a great
deal Of trouble later on" said he.
Work Up the Soil.
"Of course | realize that the
season is very late. The ground
Is wet and hard to handle and
every one is in great hurry to
plant as soon as possible. Because
OF these facts, feel no hesitation
in saying that no time will actual
ly be saved by planting such poor
| ly prepared ground. In many
cases, / fear persons are going to
be sadly disappointed when their
potato crop doesn't even pay for
the seed.
Work your soil up as much
as possible, even If you only loosen
1t UP where you are going to drop
the seed. This will help a lot.
Not Too Crowded.
1--WE hear many opinions ex-
pressed regarding potato planting.
Experience seems to prove, even
though there are exceptions, that
one piece with two eyes Is suffi-
cient for a hill and will usually
give as good results as two or
three times as many. Rows should
not be closer than thirty inches.
Thirty-six inches is really better.
Drop the seed Is or IS inches
apart In the rows. After cutting
1t is good plan to roll the seed
in lard plaster. This will help to
control the pests and also to give
the seed start"
An enthusiastic food prepared
ness meeting was held Tuesday
night at the Willard school. Evans
made the chief address.

prevents the fly from laying its
eggs on the roots.
Celery plants are generally i'm
proved by transplanting twice.
Celery should be well watered;
the plants should be set 8 inches
apart In rows 3 to feet apart.
1t requires a deep, rich, moist soil,
with plenty of well-rotted manure
or fertilizer and frequent shallow
cultivation. In the garden celery
may be plants after some early
crop. such as lettuce, radishes,
peas or beans. AS soon as the
plants attain considerable size the
leaves should be drawn up and a
little soil compacted about the
base of the plant to hold 1t up
right.
III the blanching Is done with
earth, care should be taken that
the hearts of the plant do not be-
come filled. Boards, paper, drain
tiles, or anything that will exclude
the light may be used for blanch-
ing, but earthing up will produce
the finest flavor.

ALLIES SkEPTICAL
OF new PEACE MOVE

war commissioners today were ex-
ceedingly skeptical of any peace
move, however seeming attractive
which Bethmann-Hollweg may
hold out tomorrow.
There is feeling in official cir
cles that the ultorior motive of the
projected peace proposal Is three
fold.
4. To capitalize a last, dy-
ing hope that tho United
States can be swerved from
active participation in the
war.
2. That German separate
peace propaganda in Russia
may crystalize and a separate
peace manipulated.
3. And that wavering
South America, the country
to which German eyes turn
hungrily and hopefully, ac-
cOrding to the allied commits
siOners now here, may be re-
set at normal and kept out of
the war altogether.
Cuba is doing her part. The
Cuban war commissioners here
announced that the German and
Austrian ships seized IN Cuban
waters are undergoing $3.50, 1000
worth of repairs and will be put
into service under the Cuban flag
foodstuffs and supplies.
The French commission will
leave for Chicago tomorrow.

Transplant cabbage from cold
frame Tor purchase the young
plants) just as soon as the ground
can be worked. For a late crop
plant the seeds in a we'll prepared
ground bed in May or June and
transplant to the garden in July.
Early cabbages require a rich
warm soil in order that they may
mature early. For late cabbages
the soil should be heavier and
more retentive Of moisture and
not 80 rich as for the early crop
as the heads are liable to burst.
Cabbages should be set In rows
30 inches apart and about Ia
inches apart In the rows. Early
cabbage must be used soon after
1t has formed solid heads, as Il
will not keep during hot weather.
Late cabbage may be buried In
pits or stored in cellars or special
ly constructed houses. The usual
method of storing cabbage is Ia
dig trench about Is inches deep
and 3 feet wide and set the cab
bages upright, with the heads close
together and the roots bedded In
the soil. AS cold weather comes
on. the heads are covered slightly
with straw and then or inches
of earth put on. Slight freezing
does not injure cabbage.
Brussels sprouts, related to
cabbage and cauliflower. may be
grown in the same manner. In
stead of a single head, Brussels
sprouts form q large number OF
small heads, which may be re.
moved as desired.
Cauliflower requires rich
moist soil, and thrives best under
irrigation. Cauliflower will not
Withstand as much frost as cab
bage. The culture Is the same as
for cabbage until the heads begin
to develop. after which the leaves
may be tied together over the
heads in order to exclude the light
and keeps the heads white.
All of these plants are subject
to the attack of the maggot. To
protect the plants. put a tar paper
collar on each. Cut a disc about
4 inches across-begin at outside
and slit to center. Make a small
cross cut at center. After setting
plant push this disc on the stem SO
that the stem comes up through
the cross-cut. Press the disc
down firmly on the soil. This
