GOSPEL ON PUTTING
IN SEED FOR PLANT
BY CARL VROOMAN
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Member National Emergency Food
Garden Commission.

Garden commission.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Now is
the time to plant, and planting is i'm
portant, for plant is like child
there is much in giving it a good start
Corn should be sown at the rear OF
the lot. The distance between the
rows can be cut down great deal il
the gardner is careful Two feet apart
will be food enough. Golden yantam
corn can be used four inches apart in
the rows. Sow two rows as soon as
danger of frost has passed. Cover two
inches deep.
A week later SOW two more rows
and a week later two more, moking six
in all. When the plants are five inches
high thin to stand one foot apart in
the rows. For six rows fifty feel long
three of seed will be needed. Cultivate
constantly, but as the corn grows cul-
tivate only close to the surface. Two
rows of corn fifty feet long should
produce nine dozen ears.
Smooth peas, which like rich soil,
Should come next. Sow these as soon
as the ground is ready, but the wrinkl-
ed ones should be planted two weeks
later. The peas should be placed two
inches apart in the rows, which should
be. two feet apart for tall and eighteen
inches for dwarf varieties.
Three paintings can be used in a
row of beets. Early in the spring SOW
one-third of the row, first soaking the
seed over night. Sow the seeds thin
and half an inch deep. The second
third can be planted in week and
completed a week later. When two
inches high thin out to stand four
inches apart. Each ffty-foot row will
take an ounce of seed.
Radishes and carrots should be sown
together for two reasons. Carrots are
delicate and will not push through hard
ground. The radishes will take them
along. Spinach will serve the same
purpose. The carrots should be sown
third of row at a time, about ten
days apart each time with radishes.

FNGLAND'S SHIPBUILDING
PROGRAM Is VERY LARGE

LONDON, April 16.-Speaking in
the House of Commons on the govern
ment's shipbuilding program, the parl
iamentary secretary of the shipping
controller said the program of con
struction was a very big one and could
be carried out best by standardization.
Tramp steamers were wanted most at
the present time but they must be
more than the ordinary
tramp and exceed in speed the under
water speed of the submarine. About
one-half of all the merchant ships Of
the United Kingdom of over 1900 tons
gross were engaged for the army and
navy, the colonies and the Entente
Allies in connection with the war.
The shipping controller, the secre-
tary said, was rapidly extending the
requisitioning to include all steamers
in the possession of the country. Re-
CARELESS the restrictions of imports
and the question of conserving ship
ping he said the government was map
ping out the future not only for this
year but for next. They were meas
uring the greatest possible losses they
thought would occur and putting
against them month by month what
they expected to build and to buy
and, by dealing with the matter "a
that way, could make arrangements
to defeat the enemy in the campaign
to destroy shipping.

SnITZERLAND'S HAS GREAT
EXPENSES CAUSED by WAR

BERNIE, Switzerland, April 10
Switzerland's extraordinary expenses
ti.at have grown out of the war will
amount, by the end of this year, to
about 7O0,OOO,OOO francs. it is esti-
ated. That figure, however, covers
only the cost of maintaining Swiss
Notwithstanding the boundaries,
etc. There must be raised in addition
from 100000 to 30,000,000 francs
annually to pay the interest on other
debts. In all it is reckoned that for
interest charges and sinking funds the
state is going to have to produce an
even 1OO,O0O,OOO francs income above
What is ordinarily raised.
Thus for only about one-third OF
iris sum has been assured. The tobac
CO monopoly proposed by the Bund
esrat is but one of a number of meas
ures that will be necessary in the I'M
.p,ediate future And the monopoly
proposition is already meeting with
strong opposition.
Though Berne has the reputation oT
being a less expensive residence cit,
than Zurich or Geneva. it has been hat
very hard by the war. The cost OF
food has risen on the average 4S.9 per
cent above the figures that prevailed
before the war. Clothing and other
commodities have been complied and
published to show how urgently nee
essary are advances in salary are for
government officials.
