urged.
Straight rows, YOU will remember,
makes cultivation a joy, and you should
plant turnips, radishes and beets with
but half inch of soil over them. Spin
ach and lettuce do not need that much.
After being up nicely the plants
should be thinned to about these dis
tances: Beets and turnips, three inches;
lettuce, six inches; radishes and spin
ach. one inch. However beets should
be thinned first to one-half or one inch,
then later on, after half to two thirds
of them have been used for green's, the
remainder should be allowed to ma
ture. In the case of lettuce young ten
der leaves may be produced by not
thinning.

WASHINGTON, August l3.-Reports
have reached naval circles here that the
German high seas fleet has formed a
plan whereby it may seek to elude the
British Gordon and strike with its maxi
mum power in American waters. Admiral
Sims, commanding the American naval
forces in European waters, has heard of
it and Admiral Sir John r. Jellicoe, First
Sea Lord and chief of the British naval
staff, has issued what some naval author
tiles here regard as a warning to the
United States to be on its guard from
now on against this contingency.
Admiral Jellicoe says the Germans cal
time when the British grand feet, they
believe, may be off its guard or when,
at & moment owing to the absence of
ships undergoing rcfts or repairs. the
odds were little if any against them"
The Germans must not. Admiral Jel-
licoe warns, be allowed ITO emulate the
example of Nillcneuve when he eluded
Nelson off Toulon and cruised to the
West Indies and then got back to port
again, having suffered little injury as a
result of Calder's action. No; we must
not contemplate such breakout ON the
part OF Germany, particularly now that
the American people in the war require
peace and security in order to mobilize
their enormous fighting power"
Admiral Sims regards the possibility
of Germanys attempting to send her
high seas feet out as by no means re-
mote, especially now that the German
boasts Of her submarine campaign are
not being fulfilled As a last desperate
resort the sortic of the German fleet is
looked upon as almost certainty.
The German high seas fleet was not
created that it might remain inactive

says, and this idea is generally endorsed

Company, and Ex-Gov. Ammons, one
of the states largest farmers.
The committee already has cont
pleted organization of sub-commit-
tee in every county of the state.
Working on the assumption that mon
ey, or its equivalent credit, is the
greatest need of farmers to meet the
crisis, the committee has assured
farmers capital with which to finance
his food-raising operations.
The home gardening movement was
given tremendous momentum by the
outbreak of war. The Civic and Com
mercial Association of Denver is urg-
ing a movement whereby employees
will agree to pay full wages to en-
poyes, but allow them one working
day each week, provided they work
their gardens that day. Under the au-
spices of the Denver Mothers con-
gress. $4,000 packages of seeds are
being distributed without cost to the
school children.
Mrs. Cecilia Ward Shea, a prom
inent civic worker. has inaugurated n
project, advocating that the state it
self turn farmer, and lease or rent
approximately 100000 acres Of
tillable land in the state which has
never been cultivated. sub-letting
this to families who would come into
the state, she believes, if they were
assured of ground to farm, at low
rental.
