PLANNING the Farm Garden.

College Park, Md, Jan. 18.-The i'm
portance of the farm garden to the
country household is now being i'm
pressed on the students of the Mary
land State College of Agriculture en-
rolled in the correspo ndence course on
vegetable growing. In connection with
planning the farm garden, the writer,
E. F. Stoddard, says:
Long before the time of seed
planting, the size of the plot should
be secured and a. plan Of the garden
drawn to scale. This will enable the
grower to figure out just how many
rows of vegetables he can have, and
also just where each vegetable will be
planted. Then when planting time
comes, the work can proceed without
further difficulty. An architect always
draws a plan before he builds house
Is it not just as important for the gar
dener to plan his work beforehand?
The exact plan of the garden will de-
pend upon the personal tastes of the
owner and will be different for each
individual.
"Whatever the size of the garden
may be it should be oblong in shape
that is about twice as long as it is
wide. Paintings are made in Ions
rows, wide apart, to permit Of horse
tillage as much as is possible. Here
every effort should be made to reduce
hand labor to the minimum, for time
IS more expensive to the farmer thar
space. The main effort should be tc
produce the best yields with mini
mum expenditure of labor, regardless
Of the space required.

men of years. These Chicago
employers claim it will greatly
relieve the labor situation to
give older men a chance, now
that there is such a demand for
labor. But they go even farther
than that, and claim that the
older men are actually worth
more, in many instances, than
younger men. In other words,
they have come to the conclusion
that many a man has been de-
MED the right to make a living
because of his years, when, If ne
had been given a chance, ne
could have earned something for
himself and much for his en-
ployers.

The Successful Beekeeper.

College Park, Md, Feb. LIN a
recent correspondence course on bee
keeping issued by the State College of
Agriculture, the writer, E. N. Cory,
says of Bookkeeping in Maryland, more
bees should be kept in the State, but
only those persons willing to care for
and manage them properly should
think of taking up this profitable line
Of farming.
Bees demand a great amount of
study, thought and sympathetic care
in their successful management. The
qualifications, therefore, of the bee
keeper, who would be successful,
should be considered with great care
"In the first place, studious habits
are essential Though the literature
of Bookkeeping is vast storehouse OF
information about the life processes OF
the bee, the underlying causes of many
of the activities of the colonies are lit
tie understood. Study of bees, them
selves, and the literature pertaining
to them are the cardinal points, in
successful beekeeping.
Energy is the second qualification
Without a study, however, much
energy may be wasted in improbable
directions. The performance of the
proper operations at the right time Is
Of vast Importance. Sometimes it may
seem that a thing may be put off, but
you may be sure that everything thai
is to be done in the apiary has a
definite time for its accomplishment
that will not admit of delay. Puttin<
on supers a day too late may make
big difference in the amount OF CONF
honey produced.
Patience is another valuable attrl
butte. Things are sure to go wrong al
times. The honey fow may be bae
for several years at stretch. Patti
ence therefore is Of great Importance
Though these attributes are neces
sary, they may be developed one o.
all, by the mere association with The
| bees, the most energetic, patient ant
careful workers in the lower ANNA
| KINGDOM"

COW TESTING ASSO
CITATIONS VALUED
PROVE THEIR VALUE AS MONEY.
SAVERS AND IN WEDDING
OUT POOR STOCK.
FAIRER MILK PRICEPOSsIBLE
County Demonstration Agents Do
Valuable Work In Organization
Of Such Associa-
tons.

College Park, Md, Feb. 1.-The
rapid growth in the organization OF
COW testing associations in dairy sec
lions of Maryland during the past year
has been an important part of dairy ex-
tension work. In cooperation with G..
E. Wolcott, dairy extension specialist,
county demonstration agents are car
rying on an active campaign in the
organization of cow testing assocla-
lions out of which in many instances
milk producers associations are de-
veloping. The records kept by these as
sociations working in cooperation with
the county demonstration agents have
made it possible for the dairy farmer
in Maryland to place his business on a
more profitable basis and demand an
increase based on accurate figures re-
garding the cost of producing his milk
and maintaining his herd.
In Montgomery county an associa-
ton representing sos cows, distributed
through 10 herds was organized last
spring, and is now being followed by a
second organization to meet the needs
of the dairymen who could not be in
GUIDED in the first association. Similar
developments are being reported in
other milk producing counties and are
proving most beneficial in welding the
dairy interests and in making better
grade of product possible. Dairymen
are realizing more and more that their
demands for higher prices must be
supported by facts tending to show
that they are producing milk as
economically as Is consistent with rea-
sonab1e sanitary requirements. The
COW testing association and the Coun-
| ty Demonstration Agent are opening
! the way to more efficient milk produc-
ton and fairer returns. The dairy
man who is not a member of COW
| testing association has no one but
| himself to thank for poor returns for
his capital and labor if he has not read
| the Agricultural Experiment Station
bulletin on Cow Testing Associations
| consulted his County Demonstration
| Agent, and urged his neighbors to join
| with him in forming a local associa
ton.

GIVING OLDER MEN A CHANCE

Fifteen large employers of
labor in Chicago have decided
to stop disseminating against men
because of their age. In other
words, they have thrown down
the bars" and in future will
give men an opportunity of max
ing good, regardless of how long
they have been here on earth.
And it ought to cause great re-
joicing. Years ago it was hard
for a young man to get a job.
He was Disseminated against
because of his youth. Men of
experience were desired, men
who were getting along in years.
Then came a change, and young
men were sought. The rules
were positive; only men under a
certain age were employed, and
the age was unreasonably young.
Men of 35 or 40 were turned
down." and men of As or so
could not even get a respectful
hearing at the employment Of
flee. But again the pendulum
is swinging back toward the

cations, but even this we must agree is
ineffective.
At this point comes in the machine
to relieve the voter of his troubles and
select his candidate. With the multi
plicitv of offices to be filled by the
people the machine serves an indispen-
sable purpose, whether its work is well
or badly done. The people must turn
t. those who max. study of the SIR

of those desiring election and who viii
iurge. for them. They accept their
ju lgment. particularly in those respects
in which the people have no especi |

judgment for the people in an etfecti' e
way, has an immediate cash value o
the machine l. has something to Civ e
| and can level contributions upon those
seeking offices while its control over
the workers makes its support valuable.
Thus, under the very shadow Of the

ions, there grows up a b'dy which

GERMANY TURNS SUBMARINES
LOOSE.

stricted submarine warfare.
A starvation blockade of Eng
land, the like of which the world
never has seen, has been an
nounced to the world in notes
delivered to American Ambassa-
dor Gerard in Berlin and to the
State Department here by Count
Won Bernstorff. Thus begins
the long-feared campaign of
ruthlessness.
Again the United States faces
severance of diplomatic relations
with Germany, with all it's even
tual possibilities. President
Wilson's repeated warnings of
a world afre" and Secretary
Lansing's Verge of war" state
ment are being recalled with
feeling of apprehension and mis-
giving.
Germany's action is the super
crisis of all those that have
stirred the American Govern
ment in two and a half years of
world war.
Peace and means of preserv-
ing peace have gone glimmering.
The President has the task of
deciding what shall be the course
of the United States. Three i'm
mediate steps appear among the
possibilities. The United States
might solemnly warn Germany
against a violation of her pledg-
es; it might be decided that the
German warning is sufficient
notice Of an intention to disre-
gard those pledges and a sufici-
ent warrant for breaking off
diplomatic relations; it might be
decided to await the results of
the blockade and determine the
course of the United States as
the actual operations develop.
Germany's note produces a
situation which, if it is not to be
met successfully, will require the
largest wisdom and the frmest
decision of which the officials of
this Government are capable. 1t
threatens at one blow to ruin all
the hopes of European peace
which only recently seemed
brighter than ever and. possibly,
to involve this country in the
malestrom.
For sometime it has been evil
dent that Germany would pre-
sently put to the test the posi-
bility of cutting England off from
the other world by a submarine
blockade of the most formidable
character. She has, according to
recent accounts, a new fleet of
larger and more dangerous
under-sea vessels than she has
ever built before, and she is
sowing the sea around her enemy
with thousands of anchored
mines. The blockade, it now ap-
pears, will be maintained not
only off the coasts of England,
Ireland and France, but also off
a part of the Dutch Coast and in
the East Mediterranean. 1t is
intended no be wholly compre-
hensive.
The Government at Washing
ton is now facing the most criti-
cal situation which has arisen
during the whole war, so far as
this country is concerned. 1t
must face it calmly, but with
determination. We cannot tenn
porize and further. There must
be no more illegal killing of Am
erican citizens on the high seas
If insistence upon lthis point
means a break with Germany,
then the break must come.

temporarily overlooked, but new.
er forgotten; how deeply it is
covered depending upon her so
cial or financial condition. It's

say, and add our little push to

lessly aswe would brush the dust
from our clothing.
1t isn't fair, it isn't right. II
isn't just, it isn't a fifty-fifty
proposition. Why the necessity
of two standards-one for men
the other for women? Is a crime
committed by--a man the less de.
testable? If women are, in real.
ity, the weaker sex, is it not the
duty Of the stronger to care for
the weaker? Where is that Chris.
tan spirit that teaches to forgive
is divine? To sit in cruel judg-
ment on erring women and con-
denim them to earthly torture
while permitting their brothers
who are equally guilty, if not
more guilty, of social crimes to
go sec free, stamps one as fol
lower of his satanic majesty
rather than a follower of Christ
and his teachings.
We are all human, all liable to
make missteps. 1t is the solemn
duty of parents to personally di-
rect the movements Of their boy
or girl until he or she becomes of
age or old enough and mentally
strong enough to differentiate
right from wrong. A special
safeguard should be thrown
around our girls because of the
very fact that there are two
standards, with the odds all in
favor of the boys. Parents usu-
ally reap what they sow - the
child neglected is like the rose
neglected, soon surrounded with
weeds that choke out the sun
light and wither the soul.
