GET THE FALL GARDEN READY
Prepare the Soil Well and Plant the
Right Kind of Seed

The early vegetables are all gone.
Radish, lettuce and spinach, English
peas, the first planting of beets, car
rots and beans, have all passed their
disable stage. Everybody makes sue
cession paintings of beans, but very
few people have anything in their
gardens during July and August ex-
cept tomato, okra, corn, beans and
melons. July and August are just as
good months for making garden as
April and May. If we would have the
best vegetables for autumn and win
ter use, we must plant them in July
and August.
AS. soon as any vegetable is mature,
unless it is wanted for seed, it should
be removed from the garden and the
place where it grew should be spaded
and fixed ready for planting. If the
garden was heavily MANFRED in the
spring, no additional fertilizer will
be needed; but all garden vegetables
require an abundance of plant food.
If the first crop grew slowly and did
not show good, rich, green color, it
showed the need of more manure;
fork it in when preparing for second
crop. If manure can not be had, use
a high grade complete fertilizer at
the rate Of thirty pounds to one thous-
and square feet Of land.
If the spring garden has been hoed
and cultivated as we'll as it SHOULD
have been, it will not be necessary t.
spade or pillow it for July planting
simply remove the old crop, hoe am
rake thoroughly, and plant the new
crop in the old rows.
Where first crop Irish potatoes hav
been grown is an excellent place for
making new paintings in July and Au
gust, but it will be necessary to plov
under a good dressing Of manure
then thoroughly fine the soil wit
disc spike-tooth harrow, "cultipack
err, corrugated roller, or other cloC
crusher. The July garden should b.
as carefully prepared before sowing
seed as the spring garden.
Here is a good list of vegetables for
July sowing: Chantenay carrot, De-
troit Red or Model beet, stringless
green pod bean, moss-curled or broad
'eayed Batavian endive, golden self
blanching celery, Flat Dutch cabbage,
5olden Bantam sweet corn, White
Spine cucumber. Fordhook Fancy
squash, and Kleckley's Favorite okra.

STOUT PERSONS ENEMIES

If you are inclined to be fieshy, here
are the foods you should avoid. This
is from an article on reducing and
gaining weight in the American Mag
azine. The author says:
"0vereating is not necessarily glut-
tony, or anything approaching it. A
small meal made up of certain foods
will furnish more fuel-and more fat
to the body than one twice as large
and less discreetly chosen. Foods
vary vastly in fuel value. For in
stance, one pound of olive oil will
stand sponsor for more surplus flesh
than forty-five pounds of lettuce on
which we are likely to eat it.
"The stout person must learn that
he has both friends and enemies at
the table. His enemies are sugar,
bread, cereal, desserts, butter, cream,
olive oil, bacon, cocoa and rich sauces.
Among his best friends are lean
meats, unsweetened fruits and green
foods. Yet, alasl most plump people
seem stricken with an ardent love for
their enemies. This may be good
scripture, but it is mighty poor di-
etetics."

PLANT LOCUST TREES

The black locust is probably the
btst plant to use. for the reclamation
Of the lands worst eroded, and the
best thing to plant on many steep
slopes which are bound to wash away
If continued in cultivation, but other
plants are available. On thousands
Of acres Bermuda grass will be the
best thing to plant. Thousands of
smaller gullies can certainly be stop
ped, tens of thousands of acres too
steep or too susceptible of washing
for profitable cultivation can certainly
be saved by the planting of Bermuda.
The Kudzu vine also promises to be
valuable for this purpose, and the
planting of honeysuckles on many
steep banks is well worth while.
The farmers who have these erod-
ing lands should wake up to the folly
Of permitting such destruction to con-
tinue and to the profits to be had from
stopping it. They should set them
selves to stop every gully they have,
and, equally important, to prevent the
starting of any new ones. This means
for the farmers Of this part of West
Tennessee that they must discontinue
their present unwise and utterly indie
feasible policy of running the rows Of
their cultivated crops up and down
hill. Just such foolish methods as
these are responsible for many of the
waste acres now in their fields, and as
long as they continue to pillow up ond
down the slopes instead of around
them they will continue to start new
gullies faster than they can stop the
old ones.-Southeri Agriculturist.

Is the sunshine any brighter
From the years that used to be ?
Is the m0onlingh any softer
Down in Sunny Tennessee?
Are the song birds any sweeter
AS they MARBLE to their mates?
Are the mountains any higher
Than they are in other states?
For you understand the feeling,
II you've ever had to roam,
The sky is always bluer,
And the old-time friends seem truer,
When a fellow thinks of home.
When the way / take is weary
Through the shadow Of the years,
When the day has seen my sorrow
And the dark has known my fears,
Then turn to you and whisper;
20, the night has grown so deep
Where / thought Fame's light was
fiaring,
Only ghosts and shadows creep;
Can't you see I'm lonesome for you
Where the way of Fate is stark?
Won't you call me home, o Mother,
Call your boy in from the dark? ?"
/ can see old lanes that wander
Where the naples bend and sway;
! can see your orchards waiting
Where the children used to play;
And they're full of dreams thatbeckOn
To LONG forgotten day;
And when the day is over,
In the summers purple glow,
Your fields are faint with starlight
From the dusks Of long ago,
That fellow used to know.
/ can see you now before me,
From your mountains to your
plains;
Through the glory of your sundrifts
And the gray mists Of your rains;
Where your moonlight's spilling silver
And your sunshine's dripping gold,
And your twilight winds are singing
Of the fine, brave days of old.
Of the days when Jackson's courage
Gave the nation back its faith
When the Alamo called Crockett
For his rife and his wrath
When Forrest led his stalwarts
Out the highway of the brave,
And Morgan's mighty raiders
Rode to glory-or the grave.
Then the vision changes color,
Where the softer dreams remain
Of lips as red as roses
That are rinsed in April's rain;
Of eyes as blue as May deeps
Where the violets are born,
And voices that are softer
Than the summer winds at dawn,
Than the summer winds that whisper
From the Long and Long Ago
When fellow starts to dreaming.
Of Girl he used to know.
Where the shadows drift and gather
There's mist before my eyes,
From fields of waving blue grass
And from still remembered skies;
Where vanished winds come singing,
Through the fragrance of your
loan,
} ne SJOIy VI your glory
And the old, old song of home.
The old, old song that echoes
On the far winds of the night
That sings above the war drums
And the tumult of the fight;
That sweeps across the cities
Where the flags Of triumph fly,
And whispers in the twilight
Where the wounded wait to die;
The song of all the millions
Who have held one dream at bay
OF road beyond Tomorrow
That will lead back home some day.
And when the road came calling
To take my "rag and pack,
To face the way, far leading,
That might not bring me back,
/ still held to the vision
Of dim, old-fashioned lanes,
Through April's silver mornings,
And through gray October's rains;
And grander than all triumphs
That ever come to men
A clan that waits with welcome
When / come home again.

another stinging defeat when the

could see, only 400 yards away, the
great church which stands in the

While the Canadians were battling

which seem to have carried them

and the numerous machine gun de"

covered There was sanguinary
fighting in both sections. The Ger
man losses were heavy and the men
from overseas did not achieve their
triumph without casualties.
Meanwhile British home troops on

must be done and they did IL. How
