porous and absorbs the surplus mois-
ture, storing it up for the future
needs of the growing plants during
dry weather. .-. -
For these reasons you can readily
see that the sowing of winter or
cover crops on every square foot of
your garden left uncovered before
freezing weather is not merely a hob
by, but just ABOUT as important as
putting manure on your garden in
the spring. In ATTITUDES north of
Philadelphia, the best crops to SOW
for this purpose are rye and winter
vetch. South of Philadelphia either
these or crimson clover may be used.
Both the vetch and the clover are
"legdmes" and not only conserve pl-
ant food as described above but ga
ther nitrogen from the air, actually
enriching the garden soil on which
they grow. The earlier these can
be sown the more growth they will
make before the ground freezes up
The best way is to have enough seed
on hand and sow each patch of
ground as soon as it is available, in
stead of waiting until you can clear
off all of the garden. Next spring
the parts which were sown last can
be left for late crops, such as mel
! ons and beans, so that the cover
crops will have more of chance to
grow. The clover can be sown any
,, time up to the first week of Sept
ember, and the rye and vetch until
early frost.
Too many gardeners make the mis-
take of leaving all the cleaning up
there may be to be done in the gar
den until spring. Dead vines, bad
fruits, brush, tomato poles, etc., are
left where they are. This not only
makes disreputable looking garden
through the winter and early spring,
but furnishes the very finest kind of
winter resort for every bug, beetle
and blight spore on the list that re-
quires special quarters for :'winter-
ing over.'' Make the slogan of the
last weeks work in the garden out
of-doors before freezing weather
: comes-"Clean Up and Burn" Don't
be tempted, as it is sometimes ad-
vised, to use the leaves, weeds and
| refuse from your garden for the
compost heap. It is true they will
help make humus but they may also
help make trouble. Pieces of sod,
fallen leaves and material of that
, kind may be rotted up with manure
| if you have it to increase the fertil-
ity of your garden next spring, but
burn everything which by chance
may carry over trouble for another
year.
There is another opportunity to
make your garden for next year bet
ter by giving it an extra deep spad-
ing up this fall. If it is small one
and usually spaded or forked up, you
can go over it now and dig it several
inches deeper than usual by throw
ing the soil out of the first row and
then digging up the soil below that,
turning it over and breaking it up
where it is. The soil from the next
row, if thrown on top of this, will
leave another Strip Of the subsoil un-
covered so that it can be broken up.
This 'Trenching" or subsoiling of
the garden not only gives more room
for the roots of your plants to gath
er their food in but also makes it
! possible to "work'' it much sooner in
the spring, as the improved drain
age enables it to dry out more rapid

CARRYING THE GARDEN
THROUGH TO SUCCESS
Work You Can Do Now to SAve and
Increase Plant Food in
Your Garden.
By F. F. Rockwell.

Dy T. T.. lOCkWoll.
The old saying that "You cannot
eat your cake and have it toe" does
not altogether apply in the garden
Or, to put it differently, if you han
die your garden in the right way in
the fall you can get a lot of the raw
plant foods which it contains tcook-
ed-up" and ready for your crops to
use next season; and also save the
next seasons use the "left-overs"
that otherwise would go to- waste
from the plant foods you applied
this year.
The plant food in the soil exists in
two forms-called "available" and
unavailable" This simply means
that the plant food that is termed
available is in such forms that the
roots of growing plants can makeim-
mediate use Of it, while that termed
unavailable is in such condition that
it has to undergo chemical changes
before the plant can take it up. To
make the matter plain for the begin
ner we may say that the unavailable
plant foods in the soil correspond to
the materials of various kinds which
the cook may have in the kitchen
cupboard flour, rice, lima beans,
spaghetti, etc. These are all
foods" but not available for human
use until after they have been chang
ed by cooking. The parallel may be
carried step farther in that, after
they have been prepared, they can
not be kept indefinitely, and unless
made use of a large percentage of
them will be lost or wasted.
During the fall, winter and early
spring great deal of the plant food
in soil that is left bare is carried a.
way in the surface washing and in
the drainage water resulting from
rains and from melting SHOWS. In
the case of nitrogen, which is the
most valuable of the three plant
foods most likely to be "short'' in
any nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
and potash-further loss is occasion
ed by it's passing off into the air.
One of the gardeners most impor-
tant problems, therefore, is to save
what there may be left of these a.
valuable plant foods at the end of
the season for another year. And,
like the surplus foods in the kitchen
they may be saved f6r "canning."
1t may at first glance seem a ra-
ther difficult problem to can an in
visible something hiddenaway in a
foot or so of garden soil which IT
would take an expert chemical an
alysis to find. But in reality it is
much easier than the kind of can
ming you do in the kitchen. By pl-
anting a crop that will grow through
the winter and early spring the sur
plus available foods will be stored
up in the roots, stems and leaves of
the growing plant, and when these
are plowed or spaded under in the
spring and decompose, you get your
plant foods back again, ready for
use blythe vegetables you plant next
spring. In addition you fill. your
garden soil with "humus'', or veget-
able matter, which is almost as es-
sential for the healthy, vigorous
growth of your plants as having
plenty of plant food in the soil. HUI

a glowing tribute to England for
jumping in at the moment Germany

AS a result of the success of Sas-

The Fort William Daily Times

"The Scott highway-for such it
was decided by a unanimous inter-
national vote it shall in future be
known formally opened by a
gathering of American and Cana
adian rotarians and motor car en-
thusiasts at Grand Marais on Satur-

through with eclat, unmarried by a
single unpleasant feature, but it's
SPLENDID success was further crow
ned by brilliant northern weather,
golden sunshine, enthusiastic crowds
from both sides of the border and
genuine spirit of international
friendship. 1t proved not only the
welding of another link over which
the wheels of commerce and pleas
ure may travel through prosperity,
but, as we'll, the cementing of bond
of pleasant relationships between
the northern people of the two most
important nations in the western
hemisphere.
"To say that the people of Grand
Marais handed over the keys of their
pretty little village to the visitors
is to use a stock ex preston which
might mean anything more or less.
But what the people of Grand Marais
really did seem to have done was to
gather up all their keys and cash
them for the day. There were no
doors locked night or day and the
big WELCOME" signs were mere
fgures--,of speech compared to the
reception which the citizens them
selves offered. The hotel accomo-
dation at the two public houses was
rapidly taken up, but the balance of
the guests were billeted with the
citizens. The best houses in the
place were thrown open to the Ca
nadians, while the owners and fam
lilies in some cases '''tented" it for
the time being"

 It is understood that the proposi- ticn of a general stock law will be changed as opposition seems so srong that it would have little chance of passing, Tie ladies, who were in strumental in agitating the question, have thought it best thas the proposi- tion be changed to exclude cattle from is provisions and to include horses, mules, gOa's. etc. It is thought that little opposition would exist against the keeping up of any sock except cattle.

 ''Fhe development of all resources ' he said, depends upon education. The great problem in Arkansas and any cher state is the care and proper edu- cation of the child. It is the only road 10 material prosperity"
 Ignorance and poverty he said, go hand in hand. Brains come high, but hands are cheap, because there are so many of them. The child must be taught to mix matter and brains His education should be of two kinds-frst to ii him to work, and seccnd to fit him to live
 Through educa ion, he said, could he obtained the three greatest things in the world, money, manhood and mas tery The ability to produce them he said, comprised the tests for ally edu- ca ion.
