Home Garden Suggestions
for April

Continue planting vegetables
throughout April. Make the
second planting oflettuce. Eng
lish peas, radishes, snap beans,
lima beans, sweet corn, satisfy,
carrots, parsnips, okra, cucum-
bers, watermelons, summer
squashes and cantaloupes will do
well planted this month.
The tomato, eggplant, pepper
and celery plants are ready to
set in the garden. Set the to-
matoes not closer than 4 feet
apart each way, the eggplants
and peppers 80 inches and the
celery 6 inches.
In transplanting, set all plants
deep, and press the soil firmly
into place around the roots with

N. D. GUERRY, Editor.

The air and the papers are
full of what is going to happen
to US when the war gets to going
good and what we ought to do
to keep from starving to death
while we help to win this strug-
gle. We should, by this time,
be familiar with the situation
whether we are or not. But the
time for talk is past and the time
for action is here. Only by the
the most strenuous work are we
going to come out of this affair
with honor.
1t is in this very essential of
acting that we southern people
are sadly lacking. We sat
around and talked about the boil
weevil until we are paying 81. rs
for corn, that is what we get.
The Germans are great peo-
pie. One of the reasons they
are able to fight the world is be-
cagse they act first and talk af-
terwards. An old saying il,
Soft words butter no parsnips, a"
in fact, hot air is a very light
diet. Let's do something. The
Germans are fighting US with
potatoes, let's prepare to shoot
them with some of the same am
unition.

the hand.
Top dress the ground around
early plants with droppings from
the chicken house.
Plant everything in rows.
Broadcast sowing invites insects
and diseases, besides making
cultivation difficult.
Cultivate the soil as soon as it
becomes dry enough after each
rain, using the horse as much as
possible, and then working out
with a hoe.
If a hard crust forms over the
seed before they come up, loosen
it lightly with a hoe.
Get all the weeds while they
are small. It's easy then.
Some early vegetables will be
ready for the market in April.
Be sure to locate a market be-
fore the time comes to sell them.
To get rid of insects dust a
mixture of powdered arsenate of
lead and air-slacked lime, half
and half, over the plants. Do
this while the dew is on, or just
after rain, as the dust will
stick better.
If your rose garden is infected
with mildew, spray now with a
preparation of potassium sulfde,
| o., soap | o., water 3 gallons.
Repeat every ten days Leonard

complaining about the high cost

so asked him if he remembered

lika it was estiddy, but, boss,
we had plenty to eat dem days,

have not made us hungry by
hauling away our food, but by
training US to depend on the
North and West to the extent of
a billion dollars worth of food a
year. And now we have nothing
to pay with, and worse, the North
has nothing to sell. Plant some
soy beans, they are good for folks
as well as soldiers. Mr.. W. K.
Savage ate them for Easter din

Orchard Notes for April

1t is better to prune now than
not at all.
April is the month for effec-
tive spraying.
Spray apples and pears just
after the blossoms fall with
gallon of commercial lime-sul-
phur solution and Il pounds OF
arsenate of lead in 35 gallons OF
water, or use % pounds of dry
lime-sulphur and 2 pounds arse
nate of lead to so gallons of wa
ter. Repeat after three weeks.
Peaches, plums, nectarines.
and cherries are sprayed when
the shuck is being shed from the
fruit, using l gallon of lime-sul-
phur and 3.pounds of arsenate of
lead to 80 gallons of water, or l
to II pounds of dry lime-sulphur
and 2 pounds arsenate of lead to
so gallons of water. Repeat
after three weeks.
Grapes should be sprayed just
before the buds open with a
Bordeaux mixture, prepared as
follows: Slack 4pounds stone lime
in 2 gallons of water. Dissolve
a pounds copper sulphate in 2
gallons of water. Four these
mixtures simultaneously into a
third vessel to mix, and dilute to
so gallons befure using. Re-
peat the spray just before bloom
ing time.
Look up market now for the
strawberries and fruits that will
come on later.
Cultivate the orchards by
growing some early vegetables
or other crop that will
come off in the spr ng, then
plant to peas, soy beans, or vel
vet beans to be turned under in
the fall. Do not plant closer
than five feet to the trees.
Plan now for the orchard that
you intend to set next fall, and
have everything in good shape
when the time comes to set the
trees.
Help along with the garden by
doing some of the hard work.
1t is worth while. Leonard G.

Naval Recruiting Station
Opened Here


the direction of Chief Yoeman
w. B. Hancock assisted by Chief
Quartermaster E. N. Varnado,
and several young men were ex-
amined before night and two had
been accepted.
Our country is now at war and
the call has gone out to the
young men of the country to
come to its service. About 700,-
600 volunteers will be required
to fill up the ranks of the navy,
regular army and mali
tia. Possibly before these are
secured an order will go out for
a draft 100000 men. In this
last service no choice can be
made. If you are found to be
sound and of the proper age and
not engaged in an occupation es-
sential to the war you must go
where you are told to go.
The boy now has an oppor-
tunity of selecting the service he
will enter and often the thing he
will do. This is particularly true
of the navy where specially train
ed men are required to handle
the complexities of modern war
vessels. tits really a privilege
our boys now have to get into
the navy rather than the army.
1t is much the better branch of
service. AS many as can should
enlist for the following reasous:
The navy is the first line of
defense and needs men now.
1t offers an opportunity to
learn any one of several trades.
1t offers a better opportunity
for advancement in the service.
The pay is better.
The conditions of service is
better. There are always quar-
ters to rest and sleep; there are
no long marches and the supply
train never gets behind.
The educational advantages
are better in both book learning
and travel.
Its battles are quick and de-
cisive you either win and go
away or lose and go down if not
rescued.
There is no garrison duty to
perform and no muddy trenches
to defend.
Shells are less dangerous on
sea than on land, if you are
covered with water you may rise
and be saved, if you are covered
with dirt there is little hope.
The navy both defends and
represents the country; the army
fights for it.
1t is as easy to get released
from the navy as from the army.
Investigate what the navy has
to offer and choose the branch
of service best to your liking.
Since opening tn e sta
ton here, up to last night II
had been examined and s accept
ed as follows:
Earl Self Grauer, Thomas Madi-
son Knox and William Edwards
Roberts, Jr., Okolona; Percy
Clifton Shanron, PlttSDoro; Roy
al Green Wootten and Francis
Gideon Harris, Steen; and George
Curtis and Thomas Fred Corwin,
Columbus. Who will be next?
All who want to get into the
navy had better get a mcve on
themselves. Mississippi is only
asked to furnish 800 men for
this branch of the service, 72 of
this number were finally passed
Monday and Tuesday and left
for the training stations. 9th
ers had already gone and every
train carries in more.
