BRAZIL REVOKES NEUTRALITY

Alligns Itself Morally OH Side of
America and Allies
Rio Janeiro, June 28-Brazil has
revoked her decree of neutrality in
the war between the entente allies
and Germany.
The Brazilian government by act
of congress late in May authorized
revocation of Brazil's neutrality il
the war between Germany ard the
United States. In notifying the Bra
lillian legations of the sanction of
the revocation, Nito Pecanha, the
foreign minister, said Brazil up that
time had refrained from taking sides
in the European conflict, but the re-
public could not remain Indifferent
from the moment the United States
found itself involved in a struggle
for the rights of the people and wher
Germany melted out indiscriminately
to Brazil the most brutal treatment.
A dispatch from Rio Janeiro June
9 said diplomatic exchanges with rep
resentatives of the entente power:
were in progress and that practica
results might be expected shortly. I
was added that warships of the en-
tente would be permitted to visi
Brazilian ports without adherinp t,
time limits imposed by neutrality.

SUMNER HINTS FOR
THE HOME GARDNER
Keep the Garden Going by Cultivat-
ing, Watering and Fertilizing

Keep the Garden Going by Cultivat-
ing, Watering and Fertilizing
U. S. Dept. Agriculture.
This is the time Of the season
when the gardner is likely to allow
the weeds to get a start in the gar
den. Right now the plants need ev-
cry drop Of water, and weeds should
not be allowed to rob them. Weeds
grow much faster than cultivated
crops, and if not destroyed will rob
the plants of the moisture they need
for forming fruit. Those fortunate
enough to possess a private water
works or who have city water should
make use of the hose to supply the
crops in the home garden with need
ed water. The watering should be
done in the evening and by the time
the sun rises the next morning the
water will have soaked in. The soil
should be cultivated about "a hours
after each watering in order to pre-
vent the formation Of a crust on the
surface. Nothing retains soil mois-
ture like a finely broken surface
Never allow soil in the garden to
become baked, as moisture is being
lost.
! It is an excellent plan to waite,
elephants, peppers, cabbage, cucum.
bers, melons, celery, and other crops
needing highly fertilized soil, with ma.
nure water.Have barrel covered with
fly screen in which to prepare anc
store the manure water. Give each
plant an occasional watering with
this and the added growth will re
pay you.

Wheat For Eastern North Carolina :
Extension Farm News.

Recently there have come a num-
Der Of inquiries to the North Carolina
Experiment Station from different
parts CT TIE Coastal Plain section
of the State asking as to the ad-
visibility Of sowing wheat in this
portion Of the State during the com
ing fall. Ordinarily, with the price
OF wheat ranging around normal, it
is not thought advisable to grow
wheat on these sandy soils, is the
advice given by Mr.. c. B. Williams.
Chief OF the Division Of Agronomy.
Wheat does not do as well in this
portion Of the State as it does on the
more compact soils Of the Piedmont
and Mountain sections.
Where one is to grow wheat in the
eastern portion Of the State, it is of
the highest Importance that it be
sown on the fine grained and more
compact loans and clay loan soils.
One could not expect satisfactory re-
suits on coarse sands, or black lands
made up largely of humus material.
In sowing wheat in this portion of
the State, or in any Other por.
ton, it will usually be the part of
wisdom to wait until after a frost
has occurred. If sown before frost
there will be danger of attack from
the Hessian fly, which is one of the
very worst enemies Of the wheat
crop.
The land should be prepared in ad.
vance, SO that it will be somewhat
compact below without being hard
Then, just before sowing, have the
upper three inches put in a fine con
dition. Where practical to do so, thu
seed should be put in with the drill
using about one bushel Of seed pc
acre. -
i For ordinary land, it is suggeste,
I that at least 200 to 800 pounds of fer

tilizer be used per acre.
Good varieties to use of the smooth
headed type are Purple Straw, Leaps
Prolific, and Fultz; and of the beard

tive high prices during the coming
year, it does not seem advisableFto ga
