have to draw from the soil.

have to draw from the soil.
The conservation OF soil moisture Is
the most important reason for cultivat-
ing crops. The two other principal
things accomplished by cultivation are
the killing Of weeds which draw
moisture and plant food from the crops
and the aeration of the soil.
Too much stress can not be laid on
the preparation of good seed bed. A
seed bed Of fine tilth-made SO by deep
plowing, careful narrowing, and filming
OF the soils the foundation OF good
gardening. II is essential for the pro-
per termination and growth of young
plants. The soil must be friable and
free from clods. A clod can hold no
plant food in solution, the only form in
which il is available for the plant. Good
soil and fine filth insure an excellent
root system to plants. Upon the fine,
hairy, fibrous, feeding roots, which are
possible only in well-tilled SOIL the
plant depends for its stockiness and
growth. The careful gardener will re-
gard his whole garden as seed bed
and will cultivate and fertilize il ac-
cordingly.
Fertilizers.
Fertilizers, the plant food for the
garden, should be carefully selected.
Nitrogen, which stimulates leaf growth,
is best supplied by turning under rich,
well-rotted or composed manure, or
rotting vegetable matter. Nitrogen
also is supplied in such fertilizers as
nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia
as well as in bone meal and tankage.
Potash tends to hasten the maturity
OF the plant, but also has tendency to
counteract the work of nitrogen. On
this account those not experienced in
using potash will find sulphate of pot
ash better, or at least safer in most
cases, than the muriate. On account of
the disturbed commercial conditions
one OF the most available sources of
potash is hardwood ashes.
Plants need a balanced ration. II
they are lacking in nitrogen, they show
pale leaf and stunted plant form. Ex-
cess OF nitrogen is shown by large leaf
and plant growth with imperfect fruit
age. If the plants lack potash, they
will not be fruitful.
Sheep manure will hurry plants along
more rapidly than most chemical
fertilizers.

ENGLAND IS TO GET
FIRST PROCEEDS OF
BIG u. 5. WAR LOAN

Washington, April 24.-The United
States will lend Great Britain $780,
600, 900, tomorrow as the first loan to
any of the entente governments under
the $1,000, 100000 war finance law
signed today by President Wilson
available out of the proceeds.
This large amount it is said will
he available out of the proceeds of the
So, 900, 100000 bond issue soon to be
offered to the public, of which $1,000,
000, 900 will be loaned to the Allies.
y Announcement to this effect was
made last night at the Treasury De-
partm ont~ after a day crowded with
conferences between Secretary Nc
Adoo and Federal Reserve Board Off
Gals and American bankers and bond
dealers and official representatives OF
Great Britain and France. Another
development was the announcement
that the size of the first issue of bonds
authorized under the $7,0O0,O00,0O0
war finance measure will depend
largely upon the immediate needs of
the Allies. Reports as to this have
yet to be received in detail.
The entire $5,000,000,Q00 of auth
orized bonds will not be offered in one
lump, according to present tentative
plans, but probably will be called for
in several installment of issues. BY
this course it is believed that financial
disturbances which might result were
the country called upon to absorb the
whole issue at once, will be averted.
In making the loan, the United
States will accept British bonds bear
ing three and one-half percent inter-
est as security. These bonds will be
deposited in the treasury here and the
interest payments made upon them
at a rate considerably lower than that
which Great Britain has had to pay
for recent borrowings-will balance
the payments made by the United
States to holders of the American
bonds.
A similar course will be followed in
making loans to other Allied nations.
