The second point raised is that the
city failed to meet The provisions or
the general statutes which provide
that city canno: issue bonds for i'm
provements until the work is COM
pleted.
George P. Hayden, city attorney.
whose opinion guides the city in it's
legal moves declares that the issue
was turned down thru a misInterpre-
tation OF the statutes on the part of
the attorney generals office. Hayden
declares that the city COMMUNIST oners
may simply make provision for a
bond issue instead of passing an ap-
preparation ordinance.
The other objection, that the bonds
were issued before the work was COM
pleted. holds good only in cities of
more than 20, 900 population. Hayden
contends.

The Mahometans have q tradi
ton to the effect that when Adam
was driven from Paradise he was
allowed to take with him three
things, q myrtle, because it bore
the lOvellest and most OdOrous OF
flowers, a wheat ear because il
yielded the most nourishment, and
q date, because it was the most
glorious fruit Of the earth.
The Arabs liken the tree to a
human being, because it dies "a
man does, when it's head (summlt)
is cut off. Like a man also when
a limb (brancb) is cut off, it does
not grow again.
The bark of the date yields a
fiber useful In making mats, bas
kets and sacks. The leaves thatch
the native huts and make cases
for packing fruit. The stalks
serve for firewo0d or fencing for
the cottage garden. The timber
takes q good polish for cabinet
work, the unripe dates can be
boiled down for vinegar, the ripe
fruit can be marketed or made into
spirits. 1t can also be pressed to
make an agreeable syrup. Final.
y, at an age of one hundred years,
the tree can be tapped for an alco

GROWING PEPPER
PLANTS IN HOTBEDS

Pepper plants may be grown
without difficulty in this latitude
Baton Rouge) by planting the
seeds in hotbeds, and observing a
few precautions against losses.
George L. Tiebout, horticultur
ist of the l.. S. U. Experiment
Station, advises that the pepper
seed be sown in drills two inches
apart in the hotbeds. The soil
should be Of sandy loan and not
much richer than the field into
which they are to be transplanted.
This will prevent the plants from
growing too rapidly, which is i'm
portant when they are to remain
in the hotbed during normal sea
son of about three months. If the
hotbed soil proves to be too poor,
and the plants become stunted or
turn yellow, nitrate of soda Il ia
blespoonful to IL quarts of water,
stirred welD may be applied with
good results. An ordinary sprink
ling can may be used for this pur
pose. The plants should be
washed off by sprinkling with
plain water after the solution has
been applied. The amount of So
luton used should be about that
Of an average watering such as
would be given at intervals during
the growth of the plants. Two or
three applications of the solution,
at intervals Of three or four days,
should keep the plants in good
growing condition for some time.
Pepper will stand more crowdlng
in the seed bed without serious ill.,
jury than such plants as tomatoes,
and for this reason will produce
good plants without being trans
planted to a cold frame before be.
ing set in the field. When this Is
to be done, however, care should
be taken not TO make the first
planting very thick.
Proper ventilation of hotbeds is
as essential to successful plant
production as protection from
cold. AS the air space in the hot
bed is limited it warns up very
quickly in the sunshine, and the
sash must be raised to reduce the
temperature.
"Damping off," which is the
worst disease that attacks pep
pers, is caused by fungus growth
which attacks the plants at the
surface of the ground. Factors IN
its control are: sunshine, ventila
ton, cultivation, and Withholding
water until the plants begin to
wilt. The stick used in cultivat
ing spots where "damplng off" oc-
ours should not be used among
healthy plants.
The plant lice that often attack
the pepper plants IN the seed bed
may be effectively controlled by
the use Of tobacco fumes (smudges)
from papers treated with some to
bacc0 preparation and sold under
various trade names by their man
or through seed deal.
ers. Simple directions for the use
Of the papers are always given on
