YOUR GARDEN. CUJ|VATNG POTATOES
The More Often You Hoe, the Better the Crop Will Be

(AnOther of a series on how to Il
your own garden, what and when to
plant, how to plant and care for it,
and cat the cost Of living.)
by A GARDENER.
Within ii week after planting ycur
seed potatoes begin cultivation.
Mulch the soil about the plants,
taking care not to bruise the sprouts.
Begin drawing the soil towards The
plants, so there will be slight hills
about each. AS the season gets along
these hills will get higher by this sort
Of cultivation.
1t is unWise to start planting po-
tatoes before May, for they are much
inclined to rot in the ground if a wet
spell al0nA.
Potatoes should be cultivated at
least six times after they are up. That
will keep down the weeds, build Up
the hills and keep the top soil muIclad.
IT Is BETTER TO CULTIVATE
(HOE) THEM TOO OFTEN THAN
NOT ENOUGH.
Soil inclined to become hard needs
hOcing oftener than loose soil. In dry
weather hoeing should he more fro
Quent to conserve moisture. But don't
hoe while the ground is soaked. That
makes clOdS. which allow evaporation
Of moisture in the ground.
When hoeing be careful not to dig
deeply around the plants for you may
injure the growing potatoes.
The size of the hill depends a lot
upon the conditions. 1t should be-
sufficient to protect the tubers from
sunburn and from early frosts. If po-
tatoeS have been planted shallow,
they have been planted deep. and the
depth Of planting depends much upon
the condition of the soil. Light soils
deep; heavy soils shallow.
Among the best liked potatoes are
(early varieties Triumph. Early
Ohio and Irish Cobbler:r Cate varie-
tieS) Rural New Yorker, Green Noun
tain. Burbank and Burbank Russell.
The time Of planting for these is
about the same. the difference being
that the early varieties sprout more
quickly and produce crops more
quickly than the late varieties.
If your garden is large enough you
might divide your potato patch in
early and late gardens. digging the
early mes for summer and saving the
late ones for winter use.
Later l will tell about lighting the
insects that may happen to worry

TO MAKE UP THE DECREASES

TO MAKE UP THE DECREASES.
The national crop bureau of the
United States weather bureau views
crop prospects thus, at this time:
A decided decrease in winter wheat,
An increase in corn and potatoes.
1t is improbable that anything can
now be done to knock down this de-
crease in winter wheat, although a
saving of many millions Of bushels
produced can be made by the house
wives demanding whole wheat flour
instead of the white sorts.
But, in every part Of this country
where there are irrigation plants or
where rainfall can reasonably be ex.
pected there is still time to put in
corn, potatoes, peas and beans. The
increase in these four foodstuffs can
be made simply enormous. If it is
wheat's decrease will not result in
any loss whatever in health, physical
stamina or morals. To the contrary,
it will mean enhancement OF national
strength at a time when the nation
needs to be especially strong.

Yourself just as well a. Irish potatoes.
if your soil is sandy enough.
The potatoes to serve as seed from
which to grow the plants should be
the smaller ones, and should be free
from cuts. bruises or diseased spots
Plant them in a hotbed and when the
ground is warm and nights no longer
cool. transplant to garden plot.
Sweet potatoes spread their vines
over the surface more than Irish pO-
tatoes, THE VINES OVER. TOWARD
THE NEXT ROW.
While waiting for warm weather for
your sweet potatoes. use that land
for early snap beans. lettuce, peas,
cabbage, onions. radish. which will be
out of the way before your sweet pOta.
to plants begin spreading their vines.
This is keeping your ground work
in. for You all the time. The back,
yard gardener needs to keep his soil
busy at all times during the growing
season.

pending upon the volunteer system
which has always proven a failure.
For nearly three weeks the very
congress that declared war against
| Germany has refused to give the com
mander-in-chief an army with which
to fight simply because some OF the
members balk at the word conscrip'
ton.
If this sort of thing is persisted in
either in or out OF congress, this cOun-
try Is headed straight for disaster.
Debate and argument about any
phase of this war is permissible only
up to the time the president speaks.
When he speaks we either must
obey like patriotic soldiers or re-
fuse to obey like disloyal renegades.
Our commandments has said
that he wants an army raised By Sc
lective CONSUMPTION; that the war
should be financed so far as practic-
able by direct taxation Of incomes
and Injuries: that there must be a
great increase in food production and
food economy; that the government
must build 5000 wooden ships in the
next two years. that we must make
common cause with the allies against
German submarines; that we must
continue to fight until German mill
tarism has been crushed.
In our opinion it is the duty OF ev-
eryone of us to support this program
to the limit Of II influence and to
the limit Of Jul physical, financial
and intellectual ability.
We are all soldiers in this great
war and the first duty of a soldier is
to obey orders.
