ls seeking divorce.
At the time of their marriage
March 8, 1916-she claims that her
husband promised to abstain from
drink. Instead of this, she says that
he has been an excessive drinker and
at these times was always most abus-
i've.
Her body bears the marks of his
ill-treatment, she says, charging him
with beating and wounding her.
Another cause of complaint is that
he made gross and unfounded charg-
es against her.
Although she has tried to accumu-
late living, plaintiff claims that her
husband is extravagant and wastes
all the money they make.
She has two children, Frank R. Rit-

she claims are dependent on her.

SORGHUM Growing,

SoWn any time from April to
the end of July, Club-head and
Amber sorghums usually give a
heavy yield of fodder. The sac
charine sorghums also when
planted in rows and cultivated,
produce fair quality of syrup.
Forage sorghums are quite easily
cured in this climate, but are
often fed as they stand in the
field. The season during which
their seed will terminate begins
during March and continues
until November. Seed dose not
terminate promptly and the
young plants grow thriftily,
however, until April of most
years. Little is gained by plant
ing before the daily maxium
temperatures begin to be IS to 80
degrees and the minimum tenn
peratures are over As. They are
uninjured by the warmest wealth
er of summer, ordinarily making
their. best growth then. They
are ali killed when the mercury
falls below 80, this usually oc-
curing during November A
good crop may be secured ordi-
narily by planting any time from
April to July. If the moisture
supply is sufficient under dry
farming, the earlier planting is
best; if it is not present sufficient
ly to bring the crop up, the later
planting is to be recommended,
for the summer rains usually be-
gin then and will carry the crop
to maturity.

Tucson Farm Women Plan
Home Cannery

Housekeepers throughout Ariz-
ona are slowly awakening to the
Importance of canning fruits and
vegetables for home use, and
this spring there is a greater
desire for the home garden and
orchard than has been shown
previously. This new interest is
largely due to the splendid work
of the girls canning and poultry
clubs throughout the tie.
Mothers have become convinced
that the cold pack method of pre-
serving vegetables, as recon-
mended by the United States
Department of Agriculture, is
thoroughly practical, reducing
failure in the canning of corn,
beans and peas to a minimum.
AS a result there are many re-
qnests for instructions in the
method from housekeepers who
intend to follow it during the
coming summer.
Last week a group of women
in the district between Rillito
and Fort Lowell met to discuss a
community canning project.
They will work under the direc-
ton of local leader, who will
see that uniform standard is
maintained in the canned pro-
duct in order that the output
may find a ready market, if it is
greater than is needed for home
consumption. However the
plans for this year do not extend
beyond the requirements of the
home. Preliminary arrange
ment, have been made to buy a
community canning outfit from
the proceeds of community en-
tertainments. These women
have agreed also to demonstrate
this summer the practicability of
the water-glass method of pre-
serving eggs.

rotting vegetable matter. Nitro
gen is also supplied in such fer
tllizers as nitrate of soda and
sulphate of ammonia, as we'll as
in bone meal and tankage.
Potash tends to hasten the
maturity of the pant, but also
has a tendency to counterfeit the
work of nitrogen. On this
account those not experienced in
using potash will find sulphate Of
potash better, or at least safer in
most cases, than the muriate.
On account of the disturbed COM
mercial conditions one of the
most available sources of potash
is hardwood ashes.
Plants need a balanced ration.
If they are lacking in nitrogen,
they show pale leaf and stunted
plant form. Excess Of nitrogen
is shown by large leaf and plant
growth with imperfect fruitage.
If the plants lack potash, they
will not be fruitful.
Sheep manure will hurry plants
along more rapidly than most
chemical fertilizers.

Home Garden Hints.

es to raise vegetables for his own
family will do we'll, especially
this year, to choose the crops he
will grow from those which pre-
viously have done best in his
special locality. The market
gardener must bear this fact in
mind, but also must study the
market and anticipate it's usual
demand and determine as far as
he can how this demand will be
effected by any untoward wealth
er conditions which may have
occurred in his section.
Those who desire to produce
early crops should bear in mind
that a warm, sandy loan will
produce an earlier crop than a
heavier soil that retains more
water and less heat. Frost is
less apt to injure vegetables
planted on high ground than
those planted in low places or
valleys into which the heavier
cold air commonly settles. The
garden should be fairly level,
but we'll drained. The crop will
mature more rapidly on land that
has sunny, southern exposure
than in other plots.
The Essentials of Gardening.
The essentials for successful
gardening on a small or large
scale are soil, water, and cultiva-
ton. Much depends also on the
grower. the season, and the crops
selected.
The soil is the storehouse of
plant food. The garden, there
fore, should contain humus or
rotten material in large quaint
ties. The gardener should re-
member that about so per cent
of ordinary earth is not soil at all,
but consists Of air and water.
Water makes plant food that
is present freely soluble. Rain
and snow water are soft and
contain ammonia. The magic of
soft water on the plant world is
one Of the miracles of good gard
ening, as every one who has
contrasted the effect of rain with
that produced by sprinkling with
a hose realizes. Plants are sue
culent and contain large amounts
of water which they have to
draw from the soil.
The conservation of Soil moist
ure is the most important reason
for cultivating crops. The two
other principal things accomplish
ed by cultivation are the killing
of weeds which draw moisture
and plant food from the crops,
and the aeration of the soil.
Too much stress can not be laid
on the preparation of a good seed
bed. A seed bed of fine filth
made so by deep blowing, care
full narrowing, and fning of the
SOILS the foundation of good
gardening. 1t is essential for
the proper termination and
growth of young plants. The
soil must be friable and free from
clods. A clod can hold on plant
food in solution, the only form
in which it is available for the
plant. Good soil and fine filth
insure an excellent root system
to plants. Upon the fine, hairy,
fibrous, feeding roots, which are
possible only in well-tilled soil,
the plant depends for its stocki-
ness and growth. The careful
gardener will regard his whole
garden as a seed bed and will
cultivate and fertilize it accord
t ingly.

GETTING THE SCHOOL SURVEY.

Representative Clarence Cookies joint resolution
yesterday is timely and welcome step toward the
proposed survey by federal experts of Hawaii's
school systems.
Ii seems clear that the governor will not lend his
aid to the proposal of such a survey. The College
Clubs original plan was TO have the invitation come
from the governor and the superintendent of public
instruction but the governors lack Of sympathy
with the scheme has been shown as amounting to
open opposition. ....
The arguments in favor of the survey many
amply TO justify the legislature in memoriaizing
Congress TO direct the T. s. bureau of education to
carry out the survey. Already the board has shown
itself more than willing to do this work, and the
L. S. commissioner, Dr. p p Claxton, plans to come
personally. A personal visit from Dr. Claxton would
be of great value to Hawaii. 1t illustrates the keen
interest which the federal government takes in the
progress of this territory.
Representative Cookies resolution is along the
only way and the recognized way to secure the sur.
rey. The expense will be small in comparison with
the benefits. The federal government is prepared to
stand an expense of $4,000 on its part. This is a
generous offer indeed and opens an opportunity
which it would folly to ignore. ~ ..-*.. ="
OF the many moves which Mr.. Cooke has taken
in his Legislative terms eyincng his interest in pro-
gressive education in Hawaii none is more to the
point or with larger possibilities for the future than
this. -.
