TAKE UP THE SPADE
NEVER A GREATER INCENTIVE
FOR GARDENING AND FARMING.

{ = . ~
indianapolis News: There never
was a greater incentive in gardening
and farming than there is right now
This can be localized and made appli
cable to every community in Indiana
including cities and towns. There has
been a shortage in many crops, and
the extraordinary demand from abroad
has raised the price of all grain and
other foodstuffs. Starting with low
supplies in the granaries there will be
a home as well as foreign demand
for all the field products that can be
raised The wise farmer will pillow and
cultivate accordingly, but the city
and town resident can do something
with the spade and the hoe. Potatoes
cabbage, onions, beans, tomatoes and
all garden products can be raised by
the town and city man.. The price OF
these foods has reached an unprece
denied figure Some relief can come
through attention to home gardens
There ought not to be an uncultivated
lot in Indianapolis or the other cities
OF towns of the state this year. Eco
Inomic demands are such that there
should be general use of garden tools
(even at the expense of golf and ten
nis). besides the big operations tina;
require the pillow and the larger imple
ments.
Some households may say that
there is no way of preserving these
homegrown articles, and that oul
modern city life has put us in the way
of depending on canned and dried
goods. The old fashioned cellars
where the winter supplies were stored
are almost things of the past. There
is no longer storage capacity in dwell
ings, and certainly not in apartments
But, after all, the total number OF
apartments is small relatively: and
there is in Indiana a large percentage
of home with tillable ground. The
spring, summer and fall produce can
be raised by those who have such
land, and the thrifty housewife VIII
find that there are ways of drying OF
preserving even green beans, pump
kins, apples, etc, that are within
reach Besides in these months OF
home bounty the winter coal can be
provided for and other cold weather
expenses anticipated.
Both the state and the government
have issued numerous bulletins that
will help the gardener and the house
wife. The state entomologist offers
his services in an advisory way, and
will supply these bulletins on demand
I There is another aid available in
this city. Fertilizer, particularly bone
dust and potash, has become very
scarce and high ~priced.' Even barn
ward manure is almost beyond reach
But at the state fair ground there is
a great quantity of barnyard fertilizer
which is offered free to those who VIII
haul it away This is an opportunity
for those who may be able to aVal
themselves of it. 1t may, be used IL
and about indianapolis.
II is time now to scatter the fert'l
izer and to study the catalogues tora
proper seed supply. Indiana ought
never again to be caught so short Of
garden truck as 1t has been this win
ter. And. forewarned, the present
year should be made prolific in n'
local yield in every community.

IN memory Of our loving mother
Mrs. Emily Dehaven, who departed
this life October 90, 1915:
Mother, We often sit and think of yor
When We are all alone:
For memory Is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
Oh! The memory of that morning
AS l stood with breaking heart,
Seeing the one l loved so dearly
Pierced by Deaths most cruel dart
Far into tho night I wondered,
Dreaming OF the by-gone years;
How you used to shield my sorrow,
Away would vanish all my fears
You are not forgotten, mother,
Nor will you ever be;
For as long as life and memory last
We will always think OF thee.
Gone, but not forgotten.
