Fill hole up with loose earth.
Never hill up the earth around
the bush or tree. Cultivate care
fully the first summer. Keep
soil loose on top, and much less
water will be required in a dry
season. When planting try to
keep the tender roots from the
sun and wind.

used everywhere. One of the
most inexpensive ways of filling
a window or porch box and at
the same time to make it most
attractive is to use petunias,
with possibly. two or three dra-
cenas back Of them. Where ex-
pense is not considered hydran-
ceas with p.eaty of nei:otrone
and vincas are splendid. For
boxes of moderate cost | would
suggest a combination of mar
gurites in the back then geran-
iums with vinca vines to fall
over the edge. Where more va
rieties and colors are desired
use a few lobelias, sweet allysi-
UNI, petunias, ageratun, etc. In
place of the marguerites, fever

in place Of the vincas where the
colors do not clash.
In the Shade.

General Suggestions.

General Suggestions.
First make your plan, and in
doing this consider the follow
ing points:
1st, size of lot or space; 2nd,
amount you can afford to ex-
pend; Bird, climatic conditions;
4th, soil; 9Th, exposure, light
and shade; 9Th, peculiarities of
site.
Aim.
To hide by means of shrubs
and vines all Objectionable build
ings, ugly spots and unsightly
spots maintained by neighbors
or yourself.
Method.
For fine first-year effects al
ways begin at the foundation of
the house, for a house should
blend itself into the landscape
around it and bare foundation
utterly separates the house from
it's surrounding plot of earth.
When foundation is high, plant
such hardy plant as spirea,
syringa (mock orange) hydran-
geas, philadelphus, along the
back of the house hollyhocks,
rugosa rose and peonies.
These will bloom this year
out make better showing in
years to come. Each year you
should plant around the edge of
this foundation bed such an
nuals as zinnias, dahlias, coreop-
sis, bachelor buttons and where
colors will harmonic use scar
let sage, pansies, allysium, YER
bena, cosmos. Lovely leren-
malls which will bloom year af-
ter year from June until frost
are lark spur, phlox and shasta
daisy.
Flower beds in we'll sodded
lawn are not correct. Do not
break the beauty of a green
lawn by Gamma or geranium beds.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1917-05-02

be planted in the spring, ground
should be 16 in. to Is in. deep
of rich dirt with one-fourth we'll
rotted manure added. Where it
is we'll planted, kept well, wa
tered and cultivated, it will grow
II to Is feet the first year.
Color Effects.
Pleasing effects can be Sc
cured only by carefully consid-
ering the background and the
color of flowers planted. Red
brick walls or foundations with
pink geraniums in front are
terrible. Red geraniums or col
Gus plants, gallardia or golden
glow or yellow snap dragons,
make a more beautiful treat
ment. Glaring contrasts in hab-
it's Of growth and color Of flow
ers or foliage are as objection
able in planted groups as in tap
estries, but reasonable and har-
monious contrasts only add
beauty and unity to the land
scape. Personal taste should
govern the choice and arrange
ment of plants and shrubs. In
fact ideal landscape treatment
is simply display of good taste.
You can beautify your home in
an attractive and lasting man
ner and greatly enhance it's val
lie by expanding merely $500
this year. Even $500 or $500
or even less will buy quantity
Of 4-inch plants Of such ANNALS
as bachelor buttons. pansy, ally
SUM, verbena and petunias.
These make lovely border plants
and can be bought cheaply. Tall
er varieties at the same price
are hardy Phlox, 5 feet high in
six colors. Asters, snap drag
ons, nasturtium and lark spur.
Work your soil carefully and set
the small plants properly and
you will have a quantity of
bloom from the middle Of June
till frost.
Get some petunia seeds, some
nasturtiums and cosmos and
plant them in boxes, now, they
will be ready to set out by May
| 20, and will make a lovely show
ing, especially in autumn when
many other plants are through
blooming.
Method.
Order your hardy plants right
off and get them started before
warm weather sets in.
ANIMALS such as asters, pam
sizes, etc., should not be set out
till May Is or 20. In planting
shrubs see that the ground is
thoroughly .pulverized and Of
good quality, to depth Of Is
to "a inches. If fertilizer is
added it must be some form of
well rotted manure. Clay soil
of the Minnesota type is excel
lent for hardy plants, spirea,
hydrangeas, rugosas lever
blooming wild roses) etc.
Before planting cut off any
pieces of bruised roots. Dig hole
large enough to receive roots
spread out; set plant a trife
deeper than it was set in the
nursery, pack soil firmly around
roots, then water thoroughly.

Not a Strikers Wife,

10 III EnitoF u II SthF'
:. In your edition of THURSDAY appeared
a communication purporting to be from
the wife of a street car striker. decry-
ing tag day The article is untrue ia
every respect with due difference for
the sex OF the writer. An examination
of the membership rolls by the officials
of the Amalgamated Association de-
VeIops the fact that no such name as
McElvin or McElwin appears thereon,
so the party in the communication to
your paper signing herself Mrs. Mary
McE1win' is '%phoney." and evidently in
tended to mislead the public and dis
courage the wives of strikers from ap-
pear1ng on the street on the two days
set apart as Central Labor Union tag
days.
To the minds of the officers of the
Central Labor Union and the Amalga-
mated Association and its members now
on strike, the communication was writ
ten and designed for the purpose OF
dampening the ardor of those now striv-
ing for better conditions in the hope of
speedy settlement of the controversy
between the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and the organized
labor movement of the District of Co
luInbia. 1t is the belief of organized
labor. and so expressed by its officials
in the District, that company officials
have more knowledge of the ~conumunica-
ton referred to than the wife or the
wives of any strikers or union man i'll

AGE FOR TRAINING
TO Be RAISED TO 70
Senator Chamberlain Begins
Work on Amendments, Fol-
lowing Talk With President.
PLAN TO RECRUIT BIG ARMY

Senator Chamberlain. chairman OF the
military affairs committee, today be
gan work on amendments to his uni
vcrsai military training bill as 4 result
of his conference with President Will
son AT the White House yesterday aft
Srnoou.
While the President, IL was said, gave
TO Senator Chamberlain no indication
OF bis probable course, lie is said 10
favor some plan providing for military
training. Tie is understood to have
some objections to- the Chamberlain
plan.
ct am still hopeful that the admins
tration will indorse universal military
training" Senator Chamberlain said.
after he left tho White House. He
also said he is more optimistic over
the prospects of passing a universal
military training bill through the
Senate.
One of the amendments which Sen
ator Chamberlain proposes to make to
his bill is designed particularly to in
crease the number OF trained soldiers
the measure would produce in q short
period To this end he proposes TO
raise the age limit of youths subject
to training from nineteen 10 twenty
years, to secure more mature men. and
10 begin the training periods earlier
than provided i'll the tentative bill,
which proposes that 500. n0o youths he
trained annually, with six months con-
JnuouS service.

Power to Raise Army.

As to the measures necessary for in
creasins the army in emergency. Sena-
tor Chamberlain said that under exist
ing law the President is authorized TO in
crease the standing army to its war
strength of 10000. or with auxiliaries
a~ggregating a regular force Of about SEQ
geo. The war strength Of the National
Guard was estimated at about 40, coo.
with all forces fully enlisted. Thus COM
bined, the senator said, a trained army of
nearly th~Te-quarters of n million men
could be provided without action by Con-
gress.
When the regular army appropriation
bill reaches The Senate, Senate Cham
berlain said he thought il would be in
creased, with or. without specific re-
quest from the War Department, at least
sufficiently TO provide material neces-
sary for an army of 1000. 900 men.
A change planned by tine War Depart
ment in the supply bin, and probably the
only important change, is to shorten the
time for accumulation OF reserve ma
terialS for the army. The present bill
provides for their purchase ovef & period
of from four 10 five years. and the de-
partment is planning 10 ask that funds
for this purpose be made Immediately
available.

Thirty-six Divisions Proposed.

Another amendment. Senator Cham
berlain said, would be to create thirty
six divisions in the country for the
segregation Of the training work, with
facilities for training an army division
of from 22.0O0 to $4,000 men in each
divisional camp. While some of the
divisions. Senator Chamberlain tiouSht,
would have larger bodies under train
ing than otheFs, he believed at least
100000 young men would be- thus Sc
cured.
The oregon senator impressed upon
the President that his plan would not
entail the enormous expense of the
army general stan training bill. He
that without providing
costly permanent barracks at training
camps and by having the students live
in tents the annual cost OF training
500. 900 men would be roughly S156.000,-
600.
Secretary Baker of the War Depart
ment has decided to submit to Congress
a budget containing virtually the same
provisions as the army bill which
Inmates for expenditures in connection
with enlarged forces will be submitted
later.
Senato Chamberlain said hat he
would not offer his univeral military
training bill as an amendment TO the
army bill if it would delay passage Of
that bill, but would seek TO pass 1t as
u separate measure.
