 Cold Frames and Sash in Good Shape
 It is only a short time now before every square foot of glass CT cover of any kind that is available will be wanted for plants growing or being hardened off in the frames. Fix up frames the first good day; fix sash on d bad day. A good banking up with coal ashes or soil will do a great deal toward making an old leaky frame serve for another season. Cracks can be stuffed with sphagnum that is not as good as a substan tial repair, but it is better than having the frost strike
 through and nip something.
 Last Cali For Grape Pruning If there is one plant that will bleed
 more irrepressibly than anything else it is the grape Also, it requires about the severest pruning of anything in the
 garden. So if this work is sill wait ing to be done, get at it immediately. Grape pruning is a somewhat com plicated job-if you haven't done it be- fore look up all thf information you have available on it.
 Give the Cane Fruits a Chance This Did you cut out the old blackberry md raspberry canes last summer or fall, after they had fruited? If not, clean them out now as soon as the snow is out of the way. And burn them The new canes-last season $ groWth-should be headed back a lit le; quite bit, if you want them to be supporting. But don't 'prune them up from the bottom to make 1hem look neat and trim.

Before it is used, you can take your pruning shears and snip the tops off even. Peabrush so treated will not only be much easier to handle, and look infinitely heater: t will go far ther, and if space is limited, you can get your tall peas six to twelve inches closer together with it than with the iust-as it-comes straggIy klnd.

And with the handy, inexpensive plant pro- tectors now available, you can set them out a week or ten days sooner than heretofore.

TEMPE, March 24.-People who travel the roads about Tempe and in fact the southside generally. are con- blaming of the flooded condition of the roads and while no complaints have yet been sworn out, it is apparent that some drastic steps will be taken before long if the practice is continued. It seems that everywhere the ranchers are irrigatinS and in numerous in stances tie water is permitted to find it's way to the roadways with much in convenience, naturally, to those who travel. either by automobile, buggy or on foot. The attention of the road over seer and the county authorities has been called to it. and while the officers are not anxious to make any arrests, the insistent complaints that are con- tinually being registered because of so many flooded roads will require them to pre-er charges if there is not an abatement of the practice.

ALL CLASSES Of BRITISH
WOMEN WORK ON FARMS
Do All Sorts of Heavy Labor, But
Succeed Best With
Animals.

A hint of what women in this country
may be called upon TO do IL the war con-
tinues is given by a statement from the
controller of Great Britain. received here
by the food administration. which shows
that in one county in England 1900
women are officially reported in farm la

This report shows how dependent Eng
land is upon the farm labor of women.
Soldiers stationed in England also are be-
ing used to harvest crops.
Miss Talbot, director of the woman's
branch of agriculture of Great Britain. re-
ports that conditions FOR the women work
ing on the land are being made as pleas
ant as possible and that they are doing all
classes OF farm work. In speaking OF the
different types of women who have taken
up farm labor, she says: There was the
cottage woman hedging and ditching
alongside the university woman In the
milk shops. and out in the fields where the
hoeing and manure spreading were going
on, came across a tea shop waitress a
housemaid from the mansion house and
an officers daughter. This is surely some
thing akin to the ranks of the new army
nlled as they are with men of all classes
The farmers seem TO agree that women
have special aptitude in the case of
stock. They are gentle. and that tells

OF bread prices and prospects of a
reduction. Mr.. Hoover said:
AT the prospective prices for flour
it is improbable that a full sixteen
ounce loaf can be delivered to the con-
sumner for less than 10 cents per loaf
unless the consumer will join with the
bakers and retailers in eliminating
needless cost. 1t may be possible to
reduce the cost of bread by about .
cents per loaf il cooperation of the
bakers. consumers and retailers can be
secured to secure standardized loaf
and il wastefui practices which have
grown up out of competitive conditions
can be eliminated, and IL a reduction
in credit and delivery be brought about
Some bakers of a large volume and
with special delivery conditions may
even be able to increase this saving
somewhat.
The baking of large Ioaves under
non delivery and cash sales conditions
in large sections OF Europe would per-
init the sales of bread at the bakery

pective price of -four at cents. The
