IF DISCOURAGED
PLANT BEANS

Washington, June 23.-"When dis
couraged plant beans" This is the |
cheering injunction which the United
States Department of Agriculture is |
sending to the gardeners of the
country who have had poor luck with.
other crops.
There is no widely adapted gar
den crop that will do so we'll on poor
soil and nothing that is so nearly
fool proof as BEANS" says a state
ment of the department. "The limits
of the planting season also are elias
tic. The gardener may give his back
ward onions or beets another ChalNe
to make good and still have time to
| fill in their places with beans, if they
| fail. Beans of the garden and field
| sorts may be planted in the latitude
: of Washington for a mature crop un-
! til the middle of July, and string
beans may be planted all through Au-
| gust. In the latitude of New York,
beans may be planted throughout
/ June.
BLACK Valentine is a very hardy
variety and Green Pod Stringless is
very prolific. Limas are more exact
ing in their requirements than other
beans"
As a result of recent survey of
100 boys and girls club gardens in a
typical community, the statement
points out, the department of agricul-
ture finds that where failures have
occurred in gardening this year, they
have been due in general to shade
poor soil or one or more of the fcl-
lowing mistakes:
~ Failure, m preparing for thl
garden, to dig deeply enough and pull
verize the soil sufficiently. (2) Toe
thick planting. (3) Too deep planting
az Ridging the garden and planting
on ridges instead of keeping the
ground level. (5) Planting too early
especially corn, lima beans and GU
cumbers. (6) Too many light, surface
waterings. Roots seek water, and {
wet surface causes the growth O.
roots there, which are later parChet
bv the sun. Such watering tends alst
to form a hard crust over the surface
I In general there should be no les
watering and more hoeing. Keep
loose layer of soil on top to retail
the water that is present. If yo
must water, soak things well, no
as soon as the soil dries little, an

FRENCH WOMEN
DRIVE TRUCKS TO
THE BATTLE LINE

Paris, June 23.-Between a hun
dred and fifty and two hundred wo
men soon will be driving military mo-
to rcars behind the front. Women
have tried since the beginning of the
war to enlist in the automobile serv-
ice. The Club Feminin Automobile"
was the center of this group and it
had secured the signatures of several
hundred of the thousand women in
Paris who hold licenses to drive Rotor
cars. The passive resistance CT the
different war bureaus held them back
until now.
The women are obliged to enlist
for three months and to agree to sub
nit scrupulously to military rules and
discipline. They will in the oegia-
ming replace motor ambulance drivers
in the foreign sanitary sections who
are transferred to other service. Later
on they may replace men in otnel
automobile sections. The commanding
officers of four military regions have
| made applications for women recruits
| to drive service cars.

CLOSER RELATIONS

London, June 23.-The national al

been officially organized under the
presidency of Frederick Huth Jackson
who said a better relationship had
been growing between masters and
men but that, in many cases, workmen
in the past had not received a due
proportion of the results of their in
dustry. Employers must recognize, %
he said, that workmcn in future must
be better paid, better housed and bet

other hand must recognize that a full
wage carries with it the obligation
of a full days work"

HOES ARE GREAT
SOURCE Of WEALTH
Meat by the Hog Route.


can be increased more quickly by the
''hog route" than by any other. The
country's need to augment its supply
is great, but prevailing high prices
alone should be sufficient inducement
to farmers to raise more hogs. The
prospect of success never was
brighter. The high prices ruling in
all markets show that the demand
for pork is in excess of the supply
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Washington, June 23.-No branch
of farming is more productive of sat
isfactory results than the raising of
well-bred swine, if conducted with
reasonable care, according to the spe-
Cialists of the bureau of animal indus
try, U. S. department of agriculture.
Hogs fit into the modern scheme of
farming on nearly every farm, and
are one of the most important ami
mails to raise both for meat and for
money. They require less labor, less
! equipment and less capital, make
| greater gains per hundred pounds of
| concentrates fed, reproduce them
selves faster and in greater numbers,
! and give a quicker turnover" money
than any other animal except poul-
| try. Farmers of the south and west
particularly have awakened to the
merits of the hog and are rapidly in
creasing their output of pork anc
their bank accounts.
The hog has no rival as a consumer
of by-products and numerous unmar
I ketable materials which but for him
might be wasted. Kitchen refuse, not
only from farms, but also from hotels
and restaurants, when cooked before
used, make an excellent food.

u. OF P. MAY REVOKE
DEGREE OF KAISER
Action Will Be Considered at
January Meeting of the
Board of Trustees

An honorary degree OF doctor of laws
bestowed by the University of Pennsyl-
vania upon the German Emperor in 1905
may be revoked at the January meeting
OF the board Of trustees.
Protests of alumni of the University
from all sections of the country, asking
action that would take the Kaiser out
Of fellowship with the institution, have
been numerous. II was these protests
that led the board TO announce that the
revoking of the honor would lie con-
sidered
Such action would be the first time
in the existence of the University that
an honorary degree was withdrawn. A
search Of the records has failed to reveal
any case that would establish a prece-
dent. As this Is the first time that such
a contingency has arisen. there seems to
be some doubt If the authority of the
board OF trustees comprehends the power
to withdraw an honorary degree.
Several members of the board said
that 1t was difficult to define the power
of the trustees in the matter. and that
the case would have to be considered.
The honorary degree was conferred
on the Kaiser on February 20. 1905. and
the same honors were conferred by
Charles Custis Harrison. then provost
on Theodore Roosevelt, then president
