WARN GARDENERS
GUARD AGAINST
FROST DAMAGE
How to Protect Products Be-
fore and After First
Frost

Washington, D. c.. Don't watch the
moon for signs of the first frost;
wath the Weather Bureau. And when
the warning from the forecaster
comes, as It usually will from "a to
48 hours in advance. look to the pro-
lection of the garden produce which
is not yet under cover. There are
number of ways to forestall the sur
prise attacks Of this Jack Frost per-
son and representatives of the United
States Weather Bureau, realizing that
good deal more produce will be sub
ject to loss from frost this fall than
ever before, have advised early pre-
paredness on the part of the farmers.
First. the specialists suggest, pro-
tective coverings should be made
ready. Vegetables can not scamper
to cover, but the gardener can scam
per covering to the vegetables and
perhaps save a winters supply in a
short time if he is prepared. Old
Blankets, tarpaulins, sacks. straw,
manure, paper and varioue other ma
terials may be used for covering. The
conditions favorable for the forna-
! ton of early frost in fall are usually
of short duration and consequently
protective measures ordinarily will
have to be employed only for a day
or two. After the first fall frost
there is generally a return to normal
temperatures for a number of days,
possibly for week or more, during
which time immature vegetables that
have been protected will continue to
grow or ripen.
] When frost is imminent and pro-
lection is not possible or practicable,
vegetables likely to be injured should
be gathered and canned, dried, pick
led, preserved or stored. Those that
cannot be saved from exposure to
freezing should, If possible, be gath
cred before thawing takes place. In
| the case of potatoes, especially sweet
POTATOES, all vines should be cut off
lat the surface of the ground after the
occurrence Of frost.
Tomatoes may be pulled up, plants
and ALL, and hung tops downward in
a dark place, preferably a cellar
When treated in this way the fruit
will ripen nicely and slowly and will
be available for table use for a long
time after the plants have been re-
moved from the soil. Fruit that is
j very immature should be- removed
from the vines and may be used for
picking or in other ways. If facili-
ties for hanging the vines are lack
ing. the tomatoes nearing full growth
will ripen satisfactorily If wrapped
separately in paper and stored in q
dark place.
i Many vegetables such as cabbage
! and turnfps are not harmed by or
binary frost and need no special pro-
i lection. In fact, such root vegetables
as carrots, parsnips and satisfy are
improved by freezing and are Gus
tomarily leG in the ground until
/ needed.

at these points become apparent by
Kissing sounds when the motor Is
slowly cranked by hand. It may also
be drawn into the intake manifold
through leaky joint between It and
the carburetor or between it and
the cylinder ports. Defective gas
kets are the usual cause of such
leaks. Another very common cause
Is air leaking In between the stem
of an inlet-valve and it's guide.
! WHY THE LONG WHEEIiBASE?
III. n. M. asks: What are the
advantages and disadvantages of a
long wheelbase?
Answer: Among Its advantages
are: Easy riding qualities and
roominess. Among its disadvantages
are: Increased weight and the large
space required in which to turn. For
city use. such as taxicab service,
there Is no advantage to be gained
but rather the reverse by Increasing
the wheeIbase beyond very modest
dimensions. For touring purposes,
on the other hand, pretty long
wheelbase is of distinct advantage
from the standpoint OF luxuriousness.

Charleston, w. Na.-Charleston has
fair chance of securing for either the
Kanawha or the New River Valley the
twenty-million-dollar nitrate plant to
be established by the federal govern
ment in furtherance of it's plans for
military preparedness. This is the
opinion expressed by leading business
men. The federal inter-departmental
board, which is composed OF repre-
sentatives of the army and the navy.
will hold a public hearing in Wheeling
soon for the consideration of proposed
sites along the New river, and Char
lesion business interests will be rep

Minton, but there are a number OF
others below that city, and it is possi-

be secured for Kanawha Falls, which
is about 30 miles southeast of Charles

The board will hold hearings
throughout the country in accordance
with an act of Congress providing for
the establishment of a plant to pro-
duce nitrate for use in the manufac-
ture OF munitions of war and fertilizer.
The plants, it is provided in the act,
shall be operated by water power or
any other power as, in the judgment of
the president, may be the cheapest.
