END OF CATTLE
FEVER IN SIGHT
QUARANTINE LIFTED FOR NINE
SOUTHERN STATES. ~
BENEFIT TO BE FAR REACHING.
Both North and South Will Profit by
Reward of Order Which Will
Be Revoked December
First.

Washington, d. -, Nov. 1i.-An or
der signed by Secretary e Agriculture
d. F. Houston lifts on December l
from $3.50 square miles in Southern
States the Federal quarantine against
movement of Southern cattle. 1t is of
great Importance to cattle raisers and
dealers OF Northern States as well as
those of the South.
Cattle Shipments Prevented.
In regions infested by the cattle
tick it has not been held safe to i'm
port better stock for the Improvement
of Southern herds because freshly
brought in cattle from regions where
the tick is not prevalent are especially
prone to sicken and die from the few
err germs carried by the blood-sucking
parasite The Federal quarantine
against the cattle tick, on the other
hand, has prevented the shipment of
cattle from infested sections for use
as stockers and feeders in free terri
tory, and permits their shipment into
free territory only under quarantine
restrictions and for immediate slaugn-
ter.
Released December First.
The release order for December l
frees the largest amount of territory
ever liberated at one time since the
Federal campaign against the cattle
tick was started in 1906, and added to
1924 square miles freed in March and
September, will make 1917 by far'the
greatest year so far in the annihila-
ton of the tick.
Tick Is Disappearing.
Nine Southern States will benefit
by the release order. The largest ben
eficiary will be Mississippi, which will
be entirely freed from quarantine and
will open a broad avenue of tick-free
territory from the Northern States to
the Gulf of Mexico.

How to Avoid the Blight of the Plant
Bug.
The furnished plant bug is every hi.
as bad as he is painted, and the cnto-
mologists offer no help. The bugs are
most active and most numerous in dry
weather, when the plants are least able
to Withstand the infection which the
bugs carry. This is kicking Il man
when he is down" They seldom work
in shade, and asters grow well in shade
that is .not too dense A young or
chard gives about the right conditions.
There is one grower who has had fine
astcrs in his pear orchard many years
in succession. On another place the
asters planted in the open ground last
summer We're ruined by plant bugs, but
those in garden inclosed by n tall
hcmlock hedge were fine in spite of
neglect and hard clay soil. Corn has
often been suggested as shade for
asters, but it has not been well tried
out. At planting time we all think
that this year may be one of the sea-
sons when the bugs will not be trouble
some. The earliest varieties of astcrs.
if they escape stem rot, are out of the
way before the bugs get bad This is
assuming that they are planted as soon
as the ground will do the work in the
spring If well hardened in cod frames
before setting ont they will stand a
hard frost. Some of the most profit |

BE SURE
TO WORK
THE SOIL

Coming from Portland with
many years of active garden work
and experience behind him, NJ. o.
Evans, the garden expert Of the
city schools, has started active
work in the various schools in in
teresting the pupils to grow vege-
tables and increase the size OF
their gardens.
After making a tour of the city
yesterday he today warned Taco
mans against the mistake OF too
little cultivation Of the soil.
"A great many vacant lots are
being planted to potatoes. By
! far the largest number OF these
have been very poorly prepared in
deed. Heavy sod has been turned
under which discing or cutting
In any way. That means weeds and
grass will probably give great
deal OF trouble later on" said he.
Work Up the Soil.
"Of course | realize that the
season is very late. The ground
is wet and hard to handle and
every one is in a great hurry to
plant as soon as possible. Because
of these facts, feel no hesitation
in saying that no time will actual
ly be saved by planting such poor
ly prepared ground. In many
cases, | fear persons are going to
be sadly disappointed when their
potato crop doesn't even pay for
the seed.
Work your soil up as much
as possible, even If you only loosen
1t up where you are going to drop
the seed. This will help lot.
Not Too Crowded.
1--WE hear many opinions ex-
pressed regarding potato planting.
Experience seems to prove, even
though there are exceptions, that
one piece with two eyes Is suffi-
cient for a hill and will usually
give as good results as two or
three times as many. Rows should
not be closer than thirty inches
Thirty-six inches is really better.
Drop the seed Is or Is inches
apart In the rows. After cutting
1t is a good plan to roll the seed
in lard plaster. This will help to
control the pests and also to give
the seed a start"

buy any better.
When you come to us

OF new PEACE NOV E

war commissioners today were ex-
ceedingly skeptical OF any peace
move, however seeming attractive
which Bethmann-Hollweg may
hold out tomorrow.
There is a feeling in official cir
cles that the Interior motive of the
projected peace proposal is three
fold.
1. To capitalize a last, dy-
ing hope that tho United
States can be swerved from
active participation i'm the
war.
2. That German separate
peace propaganda In Russia
may crystalize and a separate
peace manipulated.
3. And that wavering
South America, the country
to which German eyes turn
hungrily and hopefully, ac-
cording to the allied commits
siOners now here, may be re-
set at normal and kept out of
the war altogether.
Cuba is doing her part. The
Cuban war commissioners here
announced that the German and
Austrian ships seized IN Cuban
waters are undergoing $4,000
worth of repairs and will be put
into service under the Cuban flag
carrying foodstuffs and supplies.
The French commission will

Transplant cabbage from cold
frame Tor purchase the young
plants) just as soon as the ground
can be worked. For late crop
plant the seeds in we'll prepared
ground bed in May or June and
transplant to the garden in July.
Early cabbages require a rich,
warm soil in order that they may
mature early. For late cabbages
the soil should be heavier and
more retentive of moisture and
not 80 rich as for the early crop,
as the heads are liable to burst.
Cabbages should be set in rows
30 inches apart and about IA
inches apart in the rows. EARLY
cabbage must be used soon after
1t has formed solid heads, as II
will not keep during hot weather.
Late cabbage may be buried In
pits or stored In cellars or special
ly constructed houses. The usual
method of storing cabbage is to
dig a trench about Is inches deep
and 8 feet wide and set the cab
bagss upright, with the heads close
together and the roots bedded In
the soil. AS cold weather comes
on, the heads are covered slightly
with straw and then 8 or 4 inches
of earth put on. Slight freezing
does not injure cabbage.
Brussels sprouts, related to
cabbage and cauliflower. may be
grown in the same manner. In-
stead of a single head, Brussels
sprouts form large number of
small heads, which may be re-
moved as desired.
Cauliflower requires rich,
moist soil, and thrives best under
irrigation. Cauliflower will not
Withstand as much frost as cab
bage. The culture is the same as
for cabbage until the heads begin
to develop. after which the leaves
may be tied together over the
heads in order to exclude the light
and keeps the heads white.
All of these plants are subject
to the attack of the maggot. To
protect the plants, put tar paper
collar on each. Cut disc about
4 inches across-begin at outside
and slit to center. Make a small
cross cut at center. After setting
plant push this disc on the stem so
that the stem comes up through
the cross-cut. Press the disc
down firmly on the soil. This
