Home Garden a Factor
In Reducing Food Co.'S

The increasing high cost of living
should turn the attention of many VII
lage and country people to gardening.
The home garden is a valuable asset
when properly managed. Vegetables
ordinarily make up about one-third Of
the diet Of the average individual and
contribute more to his good health
than any other one class Of food. Why
not raise these at home instead of
paying the groceryman, fancy prices
or going without? The drain on the
family pocketbook may he materially
lessened by the gardening operations
Wherever the seed is purchased its
germinative power should he tested III
order to avoid possible disappointment
and failure later in the season.
Stable manure is the best kind OF
fertilizer for gardening, and liberal
amount should always he applied be-
fore spading or blowing. 1t adds plant
food and humus to the soil. both of
which are highly beneficial to plant
growth.
It is best to thoroughly pulverize tn"
soil and make deep seed bed in the
beginning. Then after the plants are
established cultivate frequently and
regularly. but to no great depth.

ANSWERED QUESTIONS

M. N. Kohl of Cass Lake, Mimi,
chairman of the publicity committee
of the Minnesota Scenic Highway
association, sent out q set Of Ques-
lions to all the 10 towns along the
Minnesota Scenic highway. He is
preparing a tabular statement which
will be inserted in the book which
will be off the press in June. This
book will contain over 100 pages of
maps, tables, cuts of scenery, and
reading matter. Replies to Mr..
Koll's request started to come in
within twenty-four hours after he
sent them and he is much pleased at
the ready responses. Mr.. Kohl re-
ceived one letter from Donaldson,

THEY WOULD LIKE TO
HAVE THE TRUCK

Mr.. H. D. Nelson, night manager of
the Harrington Cafe, returned Tues
day from a visit to Macon and Camp
Wheeler.
Mr.. Nelson is well known among
the boys of Company A. He spent
most of Sunday with them, and shar-
ed their pot luck at dinner.
He says they are all working like
steam engines, looking well and feel
ing better. He brought many per-
sonal messages from them to their
friends at home.
He also says the boys would be
mighty glad to have the truck the
Star is, trying to obtain for them. He
says almost every company in the
regiment has a truck and some of
them have two.
Marion county, if she tried, could
give her soldier boys truck and
never miss the money.
