FOR CITY GARDENS

Here Is one plan as worked out for
2O-by-3O foot garden. Early-peas
were planted in rows eighteen inches
apart, with two rows of radishes or
onions between them When the rad
ishes were used. tomato plants were
set out in their places. (These plants
were bought of local dealer) The
peas were used and out of the way
before they interfered with the growth
of the tomatoes. Pole beans were
planted close to the back fence, which
made it unnecessary to stick" them.
AS soon as the early. peas were used.
bush beans were planted between the
tomato rows. This would have been
impossible had not the suckers been
pinched off the tomato vines, so that
they were forced to height of three
or four feet instead Of being allowed
to spread over as many feet of space.
The plants were supported by frames.
which made the fruit much easier to
gather. Late radishes and cabbages
were put between some of the toma-
to rows. Between rows set farther
apart than the rest, the celery was
planted.
By this rotation, an expenditure of
less than So was required to keep the
table well supplied with fresh vegeta-
bles during the summer. The toma-
toes yielded more than 500 pounds of
fruit. the sale of which brought
enough to pay for the seeds and plants
and the less perishable vegetables, be- |
sides leaving surplus. B. B. H.

"LEST WE FORGET"

These are great days, in which We
are constantly reminded that history
is being made around us. Neverthe-
less. it puts tremendous responsible
ty upon the people who will in a fash
ion decide what history's decision must
be. We have to preserve difficult
equilibrium in the welter of contro-
versy and accusation 1t is an un-
comfortable thing to notice that the
mere rumor of war can throw us off
our balance Domestic legislation is
forgotten-we talk spies and plots.
policies and national rights-and the
country's economic and social welfare
fades into political Utopia once
more.
In the obliterating act of war. the
normal considerations of progress go
unObserved We can consider without
too much revulsion of feeling meas
ures so contradictory to American
ideals as universal military service,
muzzling of the press and of free |
speech, stirring up of international ha-
treds in the public mind And we re- !
gard with apparent calm the sinister
juxtaposition of staggering war ap-
preparations on one hand and food
riots on the other.
1t is a slow and costly business TO
civilize civilization. War throws all
the machinery of progress out of gear.
1t strips of value the things that men
have worked for All the constructive
social side of politics falls into disre-
gard. Small wonder that the true pa-
triots. the men and women who have
striven for the last twenty years to
further American ideals in this coun-
try, should be reluctant to deliver ,
over to the spoiler the fruits of their
endeavOr.

A MILLION DOLLAR RAIN

The winter of 1861 will go down
in history as one of the driest sea-
sons experienced by the great agri-
cultural section of the West. But the
silver lining to the cloud was the gen.
eral rain that fell over this and ad-
joining states the first of the week.
The value of this rain to the farm
ers and merchants cannot be esti-
mated in dollars and cents. For four
or five years there hasn't been a first
class, bumper crop season on every
crop raised by farmers through this
section of the country. One year
wheat was good and corn bad; then.
vice versa. This winter the lack of
snow threatened to hurt the wheat
crop. Dry weather had almost caused
the farmer to despair. There was no
water for stock in many parts of the
state. Even the water supply for-
small cities and towns was in danger
of being exhausted.
And then il rained,
Persons in this country are ultimate
iy dependent on the success of agri-
culture, and the farmer is not the only
person wearing a smile. The post
