Prisoners Should Help on the Farms.
 MT. Editor: It seems to be univer- sal among the farmers of Brooklyn that arrangements should be made immediately whereby the prisoners who are in the Windilarn county Jail would be axaifabfe to help out on the farms If oiIr country expects the farmers to be loyal and patriotic the officials who have charge Of this mat ter should see to it now not one month from now, that under any and all circurnstances,. first, last and all the time during this war the farmers should have first call upon this help and st q minimum cost, whether the taif for the present Is self supporting or not.
 No matter what the obstacles may be, they should be overcome and ey- aFy available man should work on the farms when they are wanted, regard . less of any ether arrangements which may have beon or may be made in the future.
 If the proper officials fail to make this arrangement I believe they are net helping the farmer or serving their country along the lines which they expect the farmers to follow Help the farmers and you will find they will answer your pleadings and patriotic appeals with renewed cour- age and patriotic response.

Horsera adish. leeks, or garlic. which relish to the family menu are so cas- fly grown and occup so little space, they are worth while in almost any garden. says today's bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden radish roots after the first year are likely to become woody and misshap- en. and the best results are obtained by planting it fresh every spring. and digging every root out in the late fall or even at the end of winter. Often
 1orseradish is allowed to grow year after year in some garden corner. the rohts being dug whenever needed
 The plant is propagated from cut ting of the roots called sets" These should be or inches long and in size ranging from that of lead pencil to that of a mans little finger. For straight, thick roots the soil should be deeply prepared. It likes moist soil.
 In deep soil the root cuttings should be planted straight up and down. If the top soil is stiff or if the clay sub soil comes near to the surface the roots may be planted in a slanting pasture. Tn either case be sure to plant the top end of the root up. The setting should be from 12 to IS inches apart. Half dozen plants will make a family supply.
 Since horseradish is a late crop the roots may be planted between rows of peas, early cabage. or beets. In that case plant the sets in holes punched in the soil.
 Garlic cloves" should be planted in early spring 2 or 3 inches apart in rows. It grows through the summer and is ready for harvesting in early fall. 1eeks may be planted early or as follow crop" earth being heaped around the plants as they grow to blanch the stalks. They are not ready 1 for use uneft late. fall. and may be stored for winter in cellars.

TWO PERIODS FOR
PLANTING CORN


There are two more or less dist
tinct planting periods for the stand
ard strains of corn in Louisiana. The
first, or early, period would approx
mate the 10th Of March and the Sec
ond the 25th of April in Central
Louisiana, being somewhat earlier in
the extreme south and five to ten
days later in the extreme northern
portion of the State. Corn planted
from the goth of March to the 18th
Of April is very apt to be destroyed
by the corn root worm. The second
planting period referred to above
comes after the first generation Of
root worms has passed into the
chrysalis or resting stage. Very
early corn IS generally believed to be
safer than late planted corn, exclu'

SAY AMERICANS ARE HONEST


If you wish to learn some illumi-

some friend who has carried on a
business by mail. He will very prob
ably tell you that people in some
sections are honest and better than
those anywhere else. He will do this
because his experience has taught him
so.
A man who has large correspond
ence throughout the United States
told US recently that he found the
average customer in ia rolf states to
be a pretty fair trader, although at
intervals some exception to the rule
butted in to accuse him of trying to
steal and another jumped out while
stealing himself. Even with the man
who stops in debt, he said, he haC
enough faith to believe that he meant
we'll. Hard luck, or pure careless
ness, were the two things which KEEP
most of them from paying up ant

according to this man, are a prett,
