Plans for Garden Work
in the District Outlined

The central committee on gar
dening work in the District of
Columia, of which John Dolph is
chairman, in consultation with
II. NJ Connolly, agricultural DEM
onstration agent for the District
Of Columbia, announces the fol-
lowing plan of work for the sea-
son:
The District of Columbia is to
be divided into five main d1Vl-
sions. The people in each dlvi-
sion will perfect their own local
organization to do gardening
work. A committee, chosen by
each local organization, Will meet
with Mr.. Conolly and select two
or three gardens in their COM
munity to be used as demonstra-
ton gardens. These gardens Will
be used as meeting places, and
viii be visited by Mr.. Connolly
once each week during the grow
ing season to give detailed in
structlons for the work.
AT least once, perhaps twice,
during the season an exhibition
will be held of garden products.
Good products, with careful rec
ordS of the gardens, will be re-
quired of every exhibitor.
Every citizens association
which is interested in having
gardening work is requested to
get in touch at once with the
committee on gardening, to ar
range for cooperative work.
A plan showing each division
of the District will be published
in a few days.
Ali organizations of every sort
taking up the work are requested
to register at once by addressing
the Central Garden Committee,
District building.

Will Form Compact Heads.


This will result in the formation of
rather compact heads, and the entire
plant may then be cut for use. For an
early crop in the north the plants
should be started in hotbed or cold
frame and transplanted as soon as
hard freezes are over. In many sec
tions OF the south the seeds are sown
during the autumn and the plant al
lowed to remain in the ground over
winter. Frequent shallow cultivation
should be given the crop and, If crisp
and tender lettuce is desired during the
summer months, some form of partial
shading may be necessary.
For head lettuce, Big Boston, Hanson
and California Cream Butter are good
varieties. The loose-leaf lettuce, Grand
Rapids or black seeded Simpson, are
recommended.
Radishes are so hardy that they may
be grown through the winter in cold
frames in the latitude of Washington
and farther south in the open ground.
In the north they require hotbeds, but
can be sown in the open ground as
soon as the soil is moderately warm.
They should be planted in drills twelve
to eighteen inches apart and thinned
slightly as soon as the plants are up.

from three to four weeks after plant
ing.
Successive Paintings Urged.
If the plants are allowed to remain
long in the open ground the roots lose
their crispness and delicate flavor, and,
in order to secure a constant supply,
successive paintings should be made
every two weeks. One ounce of radish
seed is sufficient to plant 100 feet of
row. A large percentage of the seed
germinates and, if the sowing is done
carefully, later thinning may be neces-
Sary.
The first radishes to appear may be
pulled as soon as they are of sufficient
size. and this will leave enough room
for those that are a little later. The
plant is not suited to hot weather, but
should be planted in the early spring
and late autumn.

UNCLE SAM AS A PAY
MASTER.

Quite a contest is raging in
Congress, the salaries which Uncle
Sam pays to the Government
clerks. The salaries which they
are now drawing were fixed more
than thirty years ago, when one
dollar would buy ten or twelve
pounds Of bacon, or four pounds
of good butter, and seven or eight
pounds Of good beef steak. To-
day the government clerk is
drawing a very small salary with
which to meet his needs. Each
dollar will only buy today, four
pounds of bacon, or two pounds
of butter or about three pounds
Of beef steak. so Congress is hav-
ing quite a struggle over the mat
ter, and it is believed that ten
per cent increase will be given
the unskilled help, and about five
per cent increase to those who are
receiving $1,000 per annum orI
more. Even this increase while
it will help some, will come very
near leaving the eovernemnt
clerk what he is now being called |
a government pauper.
Uncle Sam can certainly afford !
to pay his employees a decent liv-
ng salary, and the above increase
should not only 90 through but
should be doubled to meet the
Enormously increased cost of liv-
ng.-EX.

CITY TURNS COAL DEALER
BECAUSE OF FUEL
FAMINE.

The coal shortage, which III re-
cent weeks has threatened to
bring about very serious condl-
tons in many parts of the cOun-
trv has stimulated agitation for
municipal coal mines that would
supply the schools and the depart
ments of the local governments
Of the local governments with
fuel. and, in some cases, would
sell to individuals as well. Ac-
cording to the March Popul - ;,
chanics Magazine, this pro Ncsm
has already been adopted in Terre
Haute. Ind, and mine four miles
from the city has been leased from
which coal is sold for $2.75 per
ton. An alderman in Detroit has
advocated that that city buy or
lease a mine, contending that by
so doing the city could save So
a ton on its fuel A similar plan
has been proposed in Cleveland.
The undertaking is regarded as
most feasible for municipalities IN
or near coal-bearing regions.

CHARLTON VACCINATION.

To the Live Stock Owners of the
State:
Due to the prevalence Of char
bon infection, in various Sections
of the State, this Board earnestly
advises early innoculation, or vac
cination, this season Oh the part
Of the live stock owners in order
to anticipate any probable out
breaks Of this disease and for the
purpose Of having their stock
protected in ample time before
the advent Of warm weather,
which is the Charlton season.
Past experience has demon
strated that best results are OBJ
tanned when animals are vacci-
mated against Charlton early in
the Spring so as to allow suffi-
cient time. in which to secure pro-
lection. before the season ap-
proaches, when Charlton infec-
ton usually Develops
The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board strongly urges, therefore,
that, in those sections Of the
State in which Charlton infection
has been known to exist in prev
ious years, vaccination Of animals !
should be commenced not later
than the early part Of March.
IF stock owners will give this
matter their careful attention, it
will increase the number of pro
tected animals at the beginning
Of the Charlton season and mater
tally limit the spread Of the dis
ease, should the coming summer,
prove favorable to the develop
ment of Charlton infection,

FISH MAY LIVE FRozf EN- FOR
YEARS. Il.

A live fish gradually fro ozen in
a cake Of ice does not die; it mere
ly suspends all life PROCESSES.
When the ice melts, if it doeS so
slowly, the fish takes up its vital
activities again as if nothing had
happened. This phenomenon,
says the University of Washing
4ton News Letter, was described by
Prof. E. Victor Smith of the de-
partment Of zoology III discussing
recent announcement that
Swiss naturalist had revived froz-
en- fish.
There is no reason why fish,
If frozen slowly in cake OF ice
should not be revived even at the
end of ten years" said Prof.
Smith. Ceases of frozen cold
blooded animals are not uncom-
mon. Frogs are many hines
frozen for long periods oNkines
and turtles will live even under
ordinary circumstances for a wear
without notice.
