Vets To Test Liquor Laws

The arrest of Martin Ingram, who
arrived in Georgetown on the night of
March 25, on his return from a rail
road excursion to Philadelphia with
two quarts of liquor in his possession,
will afford occasion for testing the
anti-shipping law, it is reported. In
gram was held for Court. and in his
behalf the constitutionality of the act
will be assaulted on the ground of the
penalties it provides among which is
of any automobile contain
ing more than one quart of liquor to a
passenger. 1t is also said that the
'ruor interests of Wilmington will
attack the resubmission law, passed
for the city, on the ground that the

which the license question can be put

Take Out Surplus Plants.

When the plants are from an inch
to an inch and half high, they should
be thinned to l or inches apart in
the row so as to give them space
enough to make a strong Stocky
growth. If it is desired to keep the
plants which are thinned out, they
may be set , inches apart each way
in other boxes prepared as mentioned
for the seed box When the weather
becomes mild, the box of plants should
be set out of doors part of the time
so that the plants will harden off" in
for transplanting to the
garden later. A good watering should
be given just before the plants are

GROWING EARLY
VEGETABLES
Seeds Started In House Boxes

Home gardeners who do not own a
hotbed and who can not readily buy
young plants can get much earlier

flower. pepper. egg Elant, and lettuce

early gardens in seed boxes IN TIE

forced in the same way. Seeds so
planted terminate and are ready For
transplanting by the time it is safe t.

ground. When danger of frost is over
and the soil is dry enough to work,
therefore, the home gardener starts
his early garden with seedlings we'll
above the surface. Transplanting. if
properly done, instead of hurting,
seems to help such plants develop a
strong root system. Garden enthus-
lasts should get good deal of pleas
ure from this kind of preliminary in
door gardening. They also can use
boxes to hasten the blooming period
of many sorts of flowers which stand

he may be more likely to get seed well
adapted to his conditions. 1t is advis-
able to buy as soon after harvest as
possible, as at this time prices are
likely to be lowest. If the farmer de-
lays, his neighbors may dispose Of all
their surplus grain and he may be
forced to plant seed grown under con-
ditions radically different from his
own. If the farmer %patronizes a seeds
man he should insist on getting seed
grown as near his section as possible.
II seed Is affected by diseases, care
full inspection will usually disclose the
fact. The presence Of sinking smut
in wheat Is indicated by the odor and
the presence of scab by the appear
anee of the kernels. Purchased seed
should, of course, be cleaned and treat
ed for the destruction of the spores OF
disease-producing fungi, II the exam
nation shows this to be necessary.
Selecting Varieties.
In choosing varieties Of wheat, the
farmer should be guided by the ex'
periences Of his neighbors and the ad'

FLOWING TO CONTROL PESTS
Remedies for Effective Check Must Be
Applied During Fall and
Winter Seasons.

After the corn-root louise, rootworm,
grubworm, and wireworm have at
tackled the cornfeld, 1t will be too late
for effective control measures. Reme-
dies for these pests must be applied
during fall and winter. These insects
feed below ground and are most enec-
lively controlled by fall or winter
blowing, clean culture and crop rota-
ton.
The root louise winters as the egg In
the nests of the small cornheld ant.
By winter blowing these ant nests are
broken up and the ants, as we'll as the
louise eggs, are destroyed. The eggs
of the Northern roOtworm are de-
posted by the beetle during fall in
cornields and since the grub on hatch
ing the following spring will feed only
on the roots Of corn, apparently crop
rotation is entirely effective. Some OF
the grubworms and wireworms require
two or three years to mature. They
winter in the soil where winter plow-
ing will destroy many. They breed
largely In sod. Therefore, IL a field OF
sod is to be used for corr in the spring,
pillow it in late fall, If possible. Should
dry weather permit before freezing
weather is over, winter blowing will
eliminate a great many Of the insects
which ordinarily attack corn In the
spring.

DISPOSITION OF DEAD HOGS
Mlahty Poor Practice to Bury Cholera
Victims or Permit Them to q.
Lie Around In Open.

Only too often, when an outbreak
Of hog cholera Is investigated 1t Is
found that last fall OF winter, a pre-
vious tenant lost several hogs, buried
them about six inches deep and your
hogs dug them up. Other cases are
found to be due to some dog which
has been feasting on dead, unburned
hog carcasses left out in the open by
some person a mile or more away.
The dog brings home a bone. a piece
of skin or q chunk Of meat, and
leaves 1t in the hog lot. The pigs
promptly the morsel, hog
cholera germs and all. The only best
way Of combating this method OF
spreading disease Is to burn every
dead hog completely. When reduced
to ashes, there is left no ghost to
walk. ,

Carbon bisulphide used at the rate

Be a Real American!
Senator johnson Of California Says
Crisis Calls For Work Not Words;
Unfounded Rumors should Be
~Squelched; Petty Conceits Of Opin-
Ion Must Be Laid Aside.

United States Senator Hiram W.
Johnson, Of California, says:
AT present all energies must be
directed toward winning the war. We
must sacrifice. if necessary, such pri-
vately cherished opinions as are not
entwined with the very fundamentals
of government.
There Is a time when an objector
ceases to be a moral hero. This Is
one of the occasions when that is true.
To question, to cayil, to nag inces-
sanity, when the consequence is a let
ting down In efficiency or fatal delay
In the essential work of war, Is moth
ing but absurdity bordering on treason.
I'VE are In the war. That must be
a premise IL any process of reasoning.
The fact cannot be made a pretext
for any e~ncroachment upon the funda-
mental rights Of a free people, but con
versely 1t Is u answer to the critic
and Obstructionist who would like to
indulge In purpOsely hair-splitting
when what we really need Is definite
and decisive val measures.
"Of all the agencies for waging a
successful war l conceive argument to
be about the least consequential. In
certain quarters there has been a de-
plorable proneness to talk endlessly
and to no purpose. Let us make our
utterances few and worth while. And,
in the meantime, let us bring this war
to a successful conclusion.
1.-THE finest attestation Of true pa
triotism is example. l care little for
oral ardor. Ii has as little practical
value as the academic distractions of
the professional objector to anything
and everything the government pur-
poses to do.
while all Of us may not be directly
involved I'm the work of waging war,
we all have an attitude to Let
that attitude be one Of cooperation
with the government. 1t may require
only a word OIL a phrase sometimes
to abate pernicious or reasonable
criticism Of the purposes Of the war.
1--WE are manifesting the right att
tude when we kill off unfounded and
harmful rumors. The man who as.
lime a lackadaisical attitude toward
the war, to placate an acQuaintanc,
whom he believes ~ be a pacifist OF

%grudging.
I'VE are not compromising with In,
iquity when we yield up certain indt
vidual viewpoints to aid the govern.
ment in its work. Our democracy Is
not such a frail and brittle thing tina,
the slightest unbending will cause II
to disintegrate or become malformed
I'VE can return after the war tc
those particular viewpoints. We arr

tarism when we draft men to fight the

ADVANTAGES OF FALL COLTS
Younester Can Be Weaned In Spring
When Grass ls Beginning to
Come-Pasture Helps.

A very large proportion Of all colts
are foaled in the spring. However,
some who have raised a fall colt or
two each year have found the advan.
tages are not all in favor of the prac-
tice of exclusive spring colt raising.
A colt foaled in September Or early
October will get a nice start before
tho pasture dries up and winter APP
proaches. Then the mare and colt
should receive q plentiful and nour
ishing ration through the winter. The
colt can be weaned in the spring when
the grass Is beginning to come, and
the pasture will help wonderfully to
keep 1t In condition and to keep II
going.
