PLAN 1918 GARDEN
Here's Amount of Seed Needed for
Rows of 100 Feet Each.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Plan your
1918 garden now.
During the last four days the Ma
uonal Emergency Food Garden COM
mission has been giving instructions
for the fall and winter handling of the
ground to be used for war gardens
in 1918
With the various suggestions heed
ed and the ground properly attended
to, the next matter for attention is
the garden plan and the ordering of
seed. Those who had gardens in 1917
will profit by both their successes and
failures and will enter the new year
with a firm determination to have a
better garden than the old one.
Draw a working plan on paper and
study and change it until il suits your
conditions perfectly. Have the very
earliest crops together at one side.
Arrange the low growing crops side
by side, for If the ground is rich
may be planted close together. In
general, place the tallest plants on the
north side of the low plants, If the
rows run east and west, so there will
be no shading.
If it can be done, it is well to plant
the various crops in a different place
from where they were last year. ex-
cept that early peas will do well on
the same ground, especially if it is
manured.
There will be a big demand for
garden seed next spring and the wise
gardener will soon decide upon just
which crops and the amount Of each
he will plant and then order seeds
accordingly. As guide to the possible
amounts of seed needed, the follow
ing table is given for 100 feet of row:

Infant Mortality Also Will
Show Large Increase.
BURDEN OF WAR ON HELPLESS
This Is Shown Turnout Europe
Today, 1t Is Stated.
Improvement of Health Most
Important Move Now.

Anticipating that Kansas will eX-
perience a decrease in the birth rate
and an increase in infant mortality
as result OF the war, tho not with
such marked results as are reported
from European countries, the division
of child hygiene of the state board OF
health. thru its director, DR.. Lydia =
DcVilbis, has issued a bulletin deal
ing with The Conservation of Child
Life" in Kansas. The bulletin was
made public today.
The child. the youngest and the
most sensitive member of society Is
the first and the greatest sufferer
from war" says the introduction -
the bulletin. Anything which i'm
proves or interferes with the normal,
healthy life of the community is re-
Elected at once in the sick and death
rate Of the children. As the condl-
tions which make for normal fam
lily and community life are increased,
the infant death rate decreases. When
these conditions are interfered with.
the rate correspondingly increases.
The infant mortality rate, therefore
may be taken as a barometer of the
social welfare of 4 community"
The bulletin cites the following re-
ports from the warning countries;
Greatly increased infant mortality. de-
creased birth rate, greatly increased
juvenile delinquency and chiId-bearing
and collaborating problems acutely
and enOTm OuSly aggravated.
Burden on Helpless.
These reports show that the great
est burden of the war is borne by the
youngest and the most helpless" COM
ments the bulletin. LAS these child
rem today are the ones who tomorrow
must carry forward the hard-earned
victory for civilization and liberty it
IS right and eminently just that the
alienation of conditions adversely af-
fecting children and the Improvement
of their health and welfare are con-
sidered a one of the most important
war measures"
DIT. DsVibis then goes on TO explain
that child life might properly include
every factor that influences a COM
munity, the economic and sociologic
as well as the health and sanitation.
There is a direct relation between
child mortality and poverty, feeble
mindedness, communicable diseases,

IN the socialist newspaper Vorwaerts
Of Berlin 1t is brought out by the

sh IN his speech at the Moscow con-
ference that Russia "a little time ago"
replied Indignantly to a proposal to
conclude . separate peace. and that
few days ago I'VE witnessed another
attempt. equally base. directed against
