-, GARDEN CULTIVATION

The importance of thorough and
continuous cultivation in the home
vegetable garden is pointed out in
new farmers bulletin of the United
states Department of Agriculture, No.
S1S, "The Small Vegetable Garden" T"
After the seeds have sprouted or after
their permanent location, continued
cultivation becomes necessary, the bull
letin says:
"The gardener should never permit
the surface of the soil to become bak-
ed or even to form an appreciable
crust Constant stirring with hand
tools or a wheel cutivator should be
practiced between the rows and about
the plants Such stirring permits
the air to penetrate the soil, where it
facilitates chemical action and bacte-
rial activity, destroys weeds which
otherwise would utilize large amounts
of plant food, and, finally, conserves
the moisture supply. The rake is per-
haps the gardeners most valuable tool
in cultixating. This can be passed
backward and forward over the ground
until it is in an open, mellow condi-
ton. Where vegetables grow closely
in the rows it often will be necessary
to supplement the cultivation by hand
wedding Small implements are made
for this purpose, and may be purchas-
ed cheaply. It is we'll also in some
cases to pull up weeds by hand, espe-
cially where they grow closely about
the stalks of the garden plants
"Just as the gardener should be
careful in early spring not to dig the
ground when the soil is too moist so
he should be careful late- m the sea-
son not to cultivate too soon after rains.
The stirring Of very muddy soil 'pud-
dies" it into a compact, cement-like
mass in which the plant food is Sc
curely locked The garden will re-
quire attention, however, as soon as
the excess moisture from a rain has
soaked in or partially eyaporated.

ecute the war in which we have en-
gagged The war may end as abruptly
and Unexpectedly as it began. We
may hope that no expeditionary force
will be necessary. But as long as Ger
many remains at war with us we shall
be not only reckless but contemplate

We shall be foolhardy if we do not
make resolute preparation against
every probable contingency.
We may need an army on this con
tinent. Ne may need one in Europe.
Our situation plainly requires that we
should have million trained, equipped
and officered soldiers by the spring OF
1918. The military problem before
the country is to raise such an army
in the shortest practicable time and
with the least friction and hardship.
That problem requires immediate
