the appeal for voluntary gifts made
by the committee Saturday.
Chairman Harper, of Jackson town
ship, telephcned in this morning that
Jackson had raised $2,655. The town
ships apportionment was 1851, and
a thousand dollars Of the total has
been raised since Friday.
Center to Meet Quota
Center township workers, who
made the greater part of their cam.
paign today, reported through Chair
man Commons at noon that the town
ship was sure to raise its money. Cen
ter's fund was placed at S1,467. and no
report had been made by the town
ship up to today.
Late bulletins from Arlington this
afternoon said the campaigners there
had discovered a rich pocket of the
township that had not been touched
by the Red Cross army, and they
assembled in automobiles to make
last drive there
With this addition, Chairman Hale
was confident Abingdon would raise
her money, and hoped she would go
over it.
Dalton township people put in
double time during the day, and indi-
cations were that at least Is per cent.
of the townships fund would be
raised by night. The Dalton folks
were hopeful of approaching their ap-
portionment even nearer than that,
but were not sure.
jefferson Report Discourasing
The most discouraging report Of the
morning came from Jefferson town.
ship Jefferson workers are putting
in their best ticks, but weren't conf
dent of the ability Of the township to
raise their share.
Today has been christened by the
National Red Cross leaders as Perish
ing Day, in honor of the American
army leader in France. A cablegram
has been sent to General Pershing in
forming him of the honor given him,
and messages were sent to Red Cross
headquarters all over the country,
urging them to make the last day
banner one, in honor of BLACK Jack"
The national leaders urge the ma
ton to over-subscribe the war fund,
so that the enemy may know that the
whole country is behind Pershing
and his men.
Statistics were made this afternoon
by the Richmond office to be sent to
national Red Cross headquarters In
Washington. The name of everyone
approached is to be sent to national
headquarters, whether contribution
was made or not Those who helped
out with the fund are to be placed on
the honor roll; other names are to be
kept on the society fles.
One $1,000 Donation.
Gifts from two cents up to $1,000
were made to the fund here. Only
one one thousand donation was made.
There were several of $500, more of
$3.50 and score or more of 500. The
committee is satisfied that everyone
who gave, gave as much as they could
in proportion to their income, however.
Hundred of stories were told by
workers during the campaign of the
generosity and .unselfishness of the
townsfolk.
The Richmond money is to be placed
on deposit in local banks to the credit
of Secretary McAdoo, and soon will
be on its way to the front.

TO PREPARE ASPARAGUS BED
Doubtful Whether Cutting and Burn
ing of Tops Is Advisable Where
Severe Freezing Occurs.

In many sections the asparagus
plants are cut down as soon as the
berries turn red, and after drying suf-
ficiently they are burned to destroy
any disease germs or insects that may
be present. In regions where severe
freezes occur it is doubtful whether
the cutting and burning of asparagus
tops is advisable. The old tops hold
the snow and prevent deep freezing
and the blowing of soil. Some growers
thoroughly harrow the bed after the
tops are removed, others throw a Slight
ridge over the row, but ridging is not
necessary unless there is danger of in
jury by severe freezing during the win
ter. Where land is inclined to wash,
cultivating and ridging in the fall are
Objectionable.

FUN IN THE KITCHEN GARDEN
r. hA
BY DIP. HUGO ERIcHsEN,

In the mind of the average garden
or be he urban, suburban, or rural, the
culture of vegetables is associated with
drudgery, which is in no wise divert
ing. And, yet. if one deviates from the
beaten paths and is not afraid to grow
things that are decidedly uncommon.
as much fun may be had in the kitch-
en- garden as in Flora's domain. and no
little profit.
/ have grown these uncommon vege-
tables, and know. Some, Of course. do
not pan out well, but that is to be ex-
pected. Even in the flower garden
not every blossom is rose and the
venturesomc score occasional failures
with much laUded novelties.
The townsman who is often de-
barred from gardening by stress Of cir
cumstance is pardonable, but there is
no excuse for the farmer who has
plenty Of available land and every
necessary tool.
Even in town if one has but a back
yard it pays to raise vegetables, as
there is q decided difference between
those obtained fresh from the hand
of nature and the wilted stuff that
comes to ones table from the gro
Ger.
Geographically the plants with
which 7 experimental were ideally dis
tributed and came from all points of
the compass. And the sum total Of my
experiences there were some real ac-
questions in the form of table
luXuries, such as Brussels sprouts,
Mexican corn, English vegetable mar
row, and New Zealand spinach.
But in order to obtain the best re-
suits, the ground must be carefully
prepared. The best way to do this is
to throw up the ridges of earth in the
fall about a foot wide and two feet
apart and let the frost permeate them
thoroughly in the winter. This rem
1ers the soil very friable and the ideal
seedbed may be prepared by covering
the rows with fertilizer and distribut-
ing the earth over it.
The following vegetables not only
commend themselves to my favorable
consideration, because they prove
toothsome, but also because they flour
fish with ordinary care and l believe
they could be grown without difficulty
in any part OF the United States
that is, wherever vegetation thrives.
The Carbon, also known as the
Spanish artichoke, is not only decided
~ picturesque, but one Of those I'M
common vegetables. It derived its
cOgnomen from the fact that it resem-
bles the French artichoke to such an
extent that it is hard to tell the two
apart when they are planted side by
side.
1t seems to me the CardoOn possesses
sufficient beauty to justify its addition
to the ornamental foliage plants of our
gardens. Although it would prove
hardy in Florida and the southwest. it
seldom reaches height Of over four
feet in the more temperate one, and
carries purplish blue, composite flowers
