WHY She Is Hated.

Governor Whitman said at ban
quet I'm Albany:
Germany has the whole world
against her because she has attempted
to change the eternal verities. The
eternal verities-that you mustn't sink
a hospital ship, that you mustn't muir
der babies, that you mustn't betray
your trusting friends, and so forth and
so On-all these things Germany has
tried to change. But she has tried in
vain.
Germany reminds me of the chap
who used to hold out n dollar or two
from his envelope every pay day.
His wife suspected him, and to make
suspicion sure, she got ready reckon
er to check him up by.
'The next pay day, after consulting
the ready reckOner, she said:
"'Are you sure that's all, George?'
George turned red.
"'Of course it's ALL he said, con-
fusedly. with cough.
"'Well, George, l got a ready reck-
oner here. and, according to Ii, | should
get more
LETS see your ready reckoner,'
said George.
He examined the book, then he
tossed 1t cOntemptuOusly aside.
"That amt no good he said. It's

PLANTING OF PEANUTS
Level System Is to Be Preferred
on Well Drained Soils.
Runner Varieties Should Be Planted
About SO Inches Apart in Row
and is Inches in Drill
Keep Rodents Away.

(By FLETCHER DAVIS. Texas Depart
ment of Agriculture)
On well-drained soils, such as most
southwest Texas soils, level planting
for peanuts is to be preferred. Wheth-
er the level system or the ridge meth
cd is to be preferred, however, is best
determined-as in the. preparation of
the soil-by the man on the ground.
They may be planted any time after
the danger Of frost is passed up to
about May 20 for the large poe vari-
cites or July 10 for the Spanish. The
runner varieties should be planted
about 80 inches apart In the row and
16 inches in the drill, while % inches
in the row and 9 to II inches in the
drill will suffice for the bunch va
rieties. There are peanut planters on
the market at from SO to $40 that
will drop the shelled peas of the larg-
er varieties or either the shelled peas
or the whole pods Of the Spanish va
riety. 1t takes about ~ pecks of the
larger varieties of shelled peanuts and
one peck Of the Spanish or IN BUSH
els Of whole pods to plant an acre.
Where the whole pods are planted,
they should be soaked in water few
hours-not long enough for them to
spoil-and planted down in the moist
soil before being permitted to dry.
Keep Rodents Away.
If there is a liability of rodents de-
stroying the seeds, it is claimed by
some that they can be protected by
dissolving a five-cent bar of laundry
soap in boiling water and stirring
thoroughly into this half pint of coal
oil and then mixing this hot prepare
ton with sufficient quantity of cool
water to soak two bushels Of peanuts
in the bulls. This preparation should
not be usedson shelled peanuts, and it
is better to poison the rodents before
planting rather than seek to repel
them in this way. The nuts should
be planted in moist ground, but they
need be covered to a depth varying
from only three-fourths of an inch in
heavy soils to two inches in light
sandy soils.
If the soil shows tendency to bake
or is becoming foul with weeds or
grass, a drag harrow can be run over
the crop while it is young or just com-
ing up, being careful, of course. to set
the teeth of the harrow so as not to
tear the plants out of the ground, or
where soil is loose and loamy and
when grass and weeds grow rapidly,
the first and even the second blowing
may be done by running a sweep shall
low and close enough to completely
cover up all the grass, weeds and even
the peanuts. This operation, If done
In time, will clean the rows by smoth-
ering the grass and weeds, but the
peanuts will come through to per-
feet stand within "a to 4S hours. pro-
vided, of course, they are not covered

Use BLIGHT Killed Trees.

Experiments with blight-killed and
healthy chestnut trees have proved
that the wood Of the blight-killed tree,
when peeled, can be used without hes
itation wherever chestnut wood is util-
lied. Posts. poles, and ties made
from the infected wood were just as
sound after three years time as those
made from healthy wood. Foresters
declare that lumber sawed from
blight-killed trees is just as good az
that from healthy trees.

ly dug before full maturity. the
sprayed fields do not have a chance
to develop a full measure of return for
the protection given by the spray.
In dry seasons, especially, which are
unfavOrable for late blight, it is I'M
likely that spraying early potatoes in
the South will be profitable. The av-
erage experience of the past ten years
from South Carolina to Norfolk does
not present Il strong argument for
spraying. In Florida, there have been
several years when late blight has pre-
vailed and spraying has been profit
able. Here the argument for crop in
surance is stronger, and spray appli-
cations may be advised in number pro-
pOrtioned to the frequency of rain, but
always thorough.
In New Jersey, also, as conditions
begin to approach those of the North,
gains from spraying may be expected.
Growers should see that pumps are
In order and materials within reach.
Watch the weather and the crop, and
if conditions favorable to blight occur,
spray with bordeaux mixture (blue-
stone four pounds, lime four pounds,
water fifty gallons). Apply thorough
ly and at a high pressure. The pre-
vailing prices for potatoes make such
insurance of the new crop dOubly de-
sirable.

ASPARAGUS DON'T NEED SALT
Experience Has Shown That Practice

Authority.

While common salt has long been re-
garded as of value for the asparagus
bed, experience has shown that the
practice is Improbable, says c. w.
Rapp of the department of horticulture
of Oklahoma A. and NJ. college.
The salt adds nothing that is really
necessary, and as fertilizer its value

to the asparagus is very small, and its
value as destroyer of weeds Is slight.
