PoTAToEsFoR BEER.

Yesterdays news dispatches featur-
ed story about a potato being used
as legal tender up in Wisconsin
town where a man purchased two
glasses Of beer with "spud." OF
course the story was in the nature OF
a joke because OF the high price of po-
tatoes. The idea Of man paying for
his beer with potato was amusing.
Yet there Is nothing new about ex-
changing potato for a glass of beer.
That very thing has been done for
generations and probably will continue
to be done until temperance guides
men or prohibition forces men to alb
stain. The drinking man for genera
tions past has been exchanging pota-
toes for beer. Yes, he has been ex.
changing potatoes, bread, meat, cloth
ing. shoes and even his home for
drink. Worse than that, the potatoes,
bread, meat, clothing, shoes and home
did not belong to him as much as to
his wife and children. They supplied
the potatoes because they were the
ones who suffered for lack of them.
OF course these drinkers have not
actually carried the necessities OF life
with them into saloons and laid them
down on the bar in exchange for beer,
but nevertheless, they bartered them
just as surely as did the Wisconsin
man. They spent the money for beer
that should have been used for the
things that would have lifted their
wives and children out of poverty and
want, out of misery to cortentment,
out Of hell into heaven. or at least
what would be heaven compared with
what drinking husband and father
imposes upon wife and children.
The world is prone to shut its eyes
to such things, however, and it re-
quires some such act as that Of the
Wisconsin man to reveal the truth. A
trifling little news item purporting to
be something new really emphasizes
an ages old story.
Whether potatoes rise in value or
fall: whether they are used RS legal
tender or not; it Is fact that the
man who barters them for beer is
committing a crime against himself
against his family, against his friends,
against humanity and against his God.

PLAN NOW FOR A
GOOD LATE GARDEN
By a. L. DACY,
W. Va. College Of Agriculture.

Many gardeners have. no doubt, been
rather disappointed for one reason or
another with the results they have OBJ
tanned thus far this season. This is 10
assure them that the season Is by no
means over yet, and 10 urge all gar
dcnerS 10 keep up their efforts to help
swell the food crops of tho country. 1t
Is still possible to have 4 good fall gar
den, which Is often as profitable as nm
carly garden. and TO secure Il good
stock OF vegetables for fall and winter
use.
Just as soon as an early crop is ma
ture IN the garden, spade up the land It
occupied and plant another in its place.
II Is not always necessary even to wait
until all of certain crop is used or
until any OF 1t Is fully mature. For
example, you can remove and use the
first early bccls. carrots. lettuce. etc.
at the proper distances In the row and
plant cabbage or cRuliflower plants In
their place or you can plant sweet
corn between the rows Or early poth-
toes az soon as the vines begin 10 die.
Tho following planting dates apply To
conditions at MOrgantown and give an
Idea as to what may be accomplished:
In locations with longer growing sea-
son than that at M6rGuntown tho later
dates named will bo SAT" for planting.
Where the growing season Is shorter.
choose the earlier dates ~ given. Re-
tween July and 10 plant seed OF string
beans, boots. carrots. sweet corn. Swiss
chnrd and Irish potatoes and set plants
Of cabbage, cHulflower and celery be-
tween July 10 and 20. Mako one or
two sowinEs Of string beans and sow
seeds Of Chinese cabbage. endive, let
tuCe and peas.
Between July 90 and August l SOW
seed OF kalc. knhl-rahI and turnips.
During the month ur August SOW kal".
,urnips. radIshcs and spinach. Early In
Scptembrr seed sc lettuce. radiSncS and
spinach may be suwn in cold frames TO
mature after frosls have killed all out
Of door crops Onion sets may also no
planted In the garden for use next
Spring.
