Level cultivation is advocated by
nearly all the agricultural literature.
Quite true, this form of cultivation has
many advantages and should usually
be recommended, especially for the
beginner. However, there are cases
\where the hill or ridge may be used to
b~crease efficiency. For instance, when
nting the root crops In rows about
feet apart to be worked by horse
cultivation, it is better to SOW them on a
slight ridge so that when rains come
the seed rows will not be covered with
water, and when cultivation begins
the tiny seedlings will not be covered
up. For practically the same reason
a great many plants, such as sweet
potatoes, peppers, cabbage, etc., are
usually set on a slight ridge. During
the growing season, soil is frequently
worked towards the rows of potatoes,
corn and tomatoes because in this way
the tiny weeds between the plants in
the rows can be covered up so that hoe
ing is made quite unnecessary. Never
theless, leval cultivation is usually re-
commended, especially to a beginner
because it takes experience to use ridg-
ed cultivation only where it works to
advantage.

Flower Day at the County House

-
On Thursday, June 18th, seventy-two
members of the different w. c. T.
Unions, of May County, met at the M.
E. church at Court House and marched
In a body to the county prison where
they held religious services. They dis
tributed flowers and candy to each
prisoner and after a hearty "God Bless
You" to each inmate, they left wish
ing them a better life when their time
expired. They then took automobiles
and went to visit the county house.
After eating their box luncheons on the
lawn they visited the institution and
had services for the inmates in their
sitting Doom. After the reading of the
Scriptures, singing and speeches by
some of the members of the different
unions each Of the inmates was given
a bouquet Of flowers and a bag o fcandy
and personally interviewed by the diff
ferent visitors. The day is looked for
ward to by these old people as a red
letter day in their lives, each June as
the flower date arrives. One aged in
mate a man over SIS sang two beauti-
full old hymns with scarcely a falter In
his voice. The institution Is certainly
a credit to Cape May County.

Weekly Suggestions For
Vegetable Growers

Prepared by the New Jersey Agricultural
Society, New Brunswick1
Thousands Of home vegetable gardens
in this state are growing beautifully;
however, hundreds OF them should have
the soil stirred oftener TO conserve mois-
ture, prevent the growth of weeds and
to accelerate the growth of the various
crops. Potatoes, for instance, appreci-
ate frequent civilizations. This means
that during the next few weeks the soil
should be stirred several times because
the vines themselves will soon cover
the ground, making cultivation impos-
sible. Just so with many other crops,
frequent CIVILIZATIONS atthis time assure
a heavy yield later on.
FORCING RAPID GROWTH
A very rapid growth may be forced
with such crops as onions, beets, spin
ach, cabbage and turnips by sowing
light applications of nitrate of soda
broadcast every ten days. Use one
hundred pounds per acre and have the
material and the foliage dry when it
is applied. In this way 1t is less apt
to stick to the foliage and burn small
white holes into it. However, when
spinach is quite large this material
should be applied with the greatest
precaution because the large tender
leaves are easily burned" Quickest
rac,,ltC p ohfoinnd Uhon fho ohnIiao-
tion Is followed by a shower.
How TO GET A HEAVY YIELD
The yield of many of our vegetables,
such as tomatoes, beans, cucumbers.
elephants, and squash can be greatly
increased, provided the growers will
pick off all fruits when they first reach
perfection. Ifthey are left to hang on
the vines the seed begins to develop
and rapidly xhausts the vitality ofthe
plant. This means that the small
specimens and new blossoms will not
develop. Therefore. in order to get a
full yield the grower should pick off
the fruits as fast as they reach their
best state of development 30 that the
strength of the vines may be reserved
for further production.
LATE TOMATOES
Tomato plants may be set at any
time up to the first of July. Those set
early In June will produce a ripe crop
during September and early October.
However, those planted late in June
may not have time to ripen all of their
crop on the vine. This means that
just before frost the remaining green
tomatoes will have to be carefully pick
ed. The larger ones will ripen up In
from one to four weeks, provided they
are laid away in a moist place free
from the drying wind and at a temper

JUSTIFIES SUBMARINE WAR

Vienna. Feb. s, via Amsterdam
to LOndon-In its comment OF
the recent action by the United
States the Neue Freis PreSse says
" President Wilson acts as il
submarine warfare were a bolt
from the blue something entirely
due to lust for destruction. Has
he forgotten what the Entente
has done to provoke the Central
Powers? Has he forgotten that
it openly declared to the world
that Austria-llungary must per
ish and the German political
power he crushed?
GLOW can President Wilson
speak Of the freedom Of the seas
when the British a few days ago
blockaded by mines the coasts Of
Holland and Denmark? Never
has President Wilson treated
Great Britain with even a
of severity. Help for
Great Britain has always been
his inncrmost thought. He could
have ended the war by a stroke
Of the pen without violation Of
neutrality or even materially
Great Britain. Honest
recognition Of submarine warfare
would have been his best course.
He failed to take advantage of
The opportunity. In his heart he
is siding with the Entente and
,alls upon other neutrals to fol
low him. This ruse has small
.hance of success.
The Neue Weiner Tagblatt
says:
The German government, in
IS note Of last May, reserved full
freedom of action if America
'ailed to obtain obedience by
,ther nations to the laws Of hu-
Germany, therefore,
,annot be blamed if President
Wilson sud(Jnly finds himself
aiken by surprise. Germany has
lone only what she long ago
the United States she
would do if America allowed
treat Britain to renounce the
declaration of London and set
,er sea ,n,sSs power above al .;;aht valid
which meant that she agreed that
he freedom of the seas must be !
Won back at all costs, not only
n the interests Of Germany, but
If the whole world, America in
luded.'
