DISCOURAGED ABOUT
GARDEN? PLANT BEANS.
They Grow on Almost Any Sort Of
Soil, at Any Time, and With
Reasonable Care.

Washington, June 23.-"When
discouraged plant beans" This is
the cheering injunction which the
United States Department of Agri-
culture is sending to the gardeners
of the country who have had poor
success with other crops.
"There is no widely adapted garden
crop that will do so well on poor soil
and nothing that is so nearly fool
proof as BEANS" says a statement of
the department. "The limits of the
planting season also are elastic. The
gardener may give the backyard on
ions or beets another chance to make
good and still have time to fill in
their places with beans, if they fail.
Beans of the garden and field sorts
may be planted in the latitude of
Washington for a mature crop until
the middle of July, and string beans
may be planted all through August.
In the latitude of New York, beans
may be planted throughout June. :
BLACK Valentine is a very hardy
variety and Green Pod Stringless is
very prolific. ,Limas are more exact
ing in their requirements than other
BEANS"
AS a result of a recent survey of
100 boys and girls club gardens in
a typical community, the statement
points out, the Department of Agri-
culture finds that where failures have
occurred in gardening this year, they
have been due in general to shade,
poor soil or n or more of the fol
lowing mistakes:
0) Failure, in preparing for the
garden, to dig deeply enough and pull
yerize the soil sufficiently. GU Too
chick planting. 90 Too deep plant
ing. (4) Ridging the garden and
planting on ridges instead of keep
ing the ground level. This causes
the water to drain away from the
plant. (5) Planting too early, es-
pecially corn, lima beans and cucum-
bers. co. Too many light, surface
waterings. Roots seek waters, and a
wet surface causes a growth of roots
there, which are later parched by the
sun. Such watering tends also to
form a hard crust v e the surface.
In general there should be less water
ing and more hoeing. Keep a loose
layer of soil on top to retain the
water that is present. If you must
water, soak things well, hoe as soon
as the soil dries a little, and then
leave the garden unwatered several
days, rather than sprinkle lightly
each day. ~ The raising of too
many different vegetables attempt
ed.
Instructions concerning bean cul-
ture may be had by writing to the
Department of Agriculture for Farm
ers' Bulletin No. 289.

COAL OPERATORS
PUT WAGE DEMAND
UP TO GARFIELD

Coal miners wage demands were
put squareIy up to Fuel Administrator
Garfield today by the bituminouS
operators. His stand. expected to be
in favor of some raise in pay for
the workers. will be communicated to
another meeting of the joint scale
subcommittee this afternoon.
The operators sought assurances
from the Government that President
wilson's soft coal prices at the mines
would be increased at least enough to
cover any raise in wages. So far the
United Nine Workers have refused
to join the operators in such de-
mand on Garfield. The miners tske
the stand that they should get an in
crease, and that any resulting IN
crease in prices to consumers must
be arranged between the operators
and the Government, which now con
trolls the coal industry.
As the operators want prices raised
more than enough to cover the wage
increase there is likely to be some
delay in fixing the exact amount.
The Federal Trade Commission will
be called in to advise. There is still
a bare possibility that the wage dis
pute will be ended by tomorrow ol
early next week.
A compromise wage advance, sug
gested by the operators, would give
the pick and machine miners 10 Ger I!
additional per ton, day laborer!
around the mine $1.40 increase pei
day and 20 per cent advance on dead
work and yardage.
This would mean from % TO A
cents added to the mine price OF Goa
for consumers.

He had no more than uttered the
words before he was seized by men
employed with him in the factory,
rushed 10 another part of the plant,
forced 10 his knees and made to kiss
the flag and say that he regretted his
remarks.
But this apology did not appear to
