WOODEN SHOES MAY
 HAVE TO BE WORN
GRoston Transcripl

It. is not impossible as time goes on. that the quotations of the leather mar ket will take second place to those of substitutes for leather, since the in- crease of such materials is assuming large proportions. At present the sub stftutes are combinations of staple ma terials and by products, both of which are produced by certain established in dustries: but more and more the sub stitute material will become an article of commerce. hence a market" may result.
 It is not assured, even with an in- creasing use of leather substitutes, that the adoption of clogs" of wood would not be desirable: the same to be used in both city and country. Eng land is making use oL them and many London children are wearing them to and from school, and it has been sug- gosted that the factory workers in Lancashire and Yorkshire might adopt them with advantage. The wooden
 sabot" is by no means going out of fashion in England and ill Europe, and it is by no means improbable that an increased use of those solid shoes may continue after the war
 The wooden shoe or sabot could be widely used in this country to the com fort of many, and the extension of the service of leather or substitute boots. The many chores that the householder is obliged to do about a suburban or country home necessitates a heavy Efnd of shoe. and the sabot where test ed has proved it's worth.

HOW TO PREPARE

 X simple test to determine when garden soil is ready for blowing or working is to take a handful of earth rom the surface and close the fingers ightly on it. If the earth competed n this way is dry enough for cultiva- ion it will fall apart when the hand opened. This test is applicable only Q comparatively heavy soils, but it is aesa which receive the most injury if rav are worked when wet On such soils oyerzealous gardners not only waste their time, but frequently do .ctual damage by attempting to work lam too early
 Alter blowing or working with pade it iz usually desirable to apply some form of fertilizer. Barnyard or table manure. which furnishes both liant food and humus. is undoubtedly he best, and applications of from
 enty to thirtf tons to the acre are adsfactorv.

 eached wood ashes may be disuib- I-ed oyer the ealIen at the rate of

Tn order to start the plants .srly iu the spring applications o9 loo bounds to the acre of nitrate of soda Ire sometimes used. It is important however. to remember that no form of .ommerciaI fertilizer will yield good results unless the soil is well supplied with humu4. This frequently may be furnished in the form Of sod or other eeelation which has overgroWn a garden spot and may be turned under

 h certain localities il is also ad- sable to test the soil for acidity.
 aturally moist soils are likely to be our and in such condition are not .aeIy to produce the most satisfactory crops. The test for acidity or sour ness is a very simple one.
