Potatoes and Onions.

Irish potatoes can be planted safely
in January or February, with a second
crop. using cold storage seed, In July.
Cold storage seed will sprout prompt
ly if the soil is in good season at plant
ing time Seed ffom the first crop often
lies in the ground for weeks without
sprouting.
Alaska peas may be planted in Jan
uary, in late March, and under favor
able conditions fall crop may be
grown If planted the last of August
If Yellow Danvers Onion seed are
sown in January the Trimmings can be
used as green onions in May and June,
and the crop will be ripe in August,
affording a winter supply; the culls
from the crop planted in September
will give salad onions for the winter.
Turnips, planted the first week in
August, will make good yield for fall
and winter use, and the culls, if left
in the ground and undisturbed, will
give a good supply of green's thruout
the winter and spring.
A small planting of tomatoes should
be made as early as possible for table
use, but for the main crop, for can
ming, seed may be sown where the
plants are to stand, in late April, and
the crop will be at its best in Septem-
Der and October
If beans are wanted for canning, an
extra large planting should be made
about the middle Of June or the first
of July. The remaining paintings of
beans are intended for table use, and
as the bean only snaps for about
week, frequent paintings are neces-
sary.

The Good Garden Soil.

Garden soil should be a well-drained
loan that will warm up quickly in the
spring, and not dry out too readily. 1t
is best plowed deep in the fall, but If
fall blowing has been neglected turn
the land as soon as 1t will plow well.
1t is hardly possible to have soil too
rich for most vegetables, so the garden
should be MANFRED heavilyA If the ma
nure is course, it should be plowed un-
der; if fine, it may best be spread on
the plowed land and cultivated in with
disk and spike-tooth harrow. Thoro
preparation in advance of planting is
essential to successful garden.
The garden should be deep plowed
If the work is done in the fall follow
the turning pillow with subsoiler or
bull tongue, to depth of twelve inches
or more.
A large planting may be made OF
such vegetables as retain their quality
a long time; potato and onion (bulbs)
are examples. But when the vegeta-
BILE remains in edible condition for only
O. short time frequent sowings and
small paintings should be the rule; pea
and snap beans are of this class. Veg
etables that fruit through long sea
son, as tomato should have at least
two paintings for best results. There
is much waste in planting too much at
a time. The general rule should be to
plant often, and little at a time.
Snap beans should be planted every
fifteen days from the middle of April
to the first of September, If continu-
Gus supply Ia wanted in the best. con-
dition for khe table.

WHAT GERMANY IS EATING
From the St. Louis Republic.

TIOIl the pt. LOUIS ItopuUllc.
 There are contradictory reports re- garding the economic situation in Ger many. Some say she is starving and others deny it. That the unusual living conditions of the last few years are tell ing on the health and vitality of the people there can be little doubt.
 In recent issue of The Atlantic Monthly, writer who has spent much time in Germany since the war began gives some interesting observations on the food situation, as follows:
 Chunks of dried sea lion meat were of jerked beef. Soaked for number of hours, and cut into small pieces, it was made into a stew with onions. Some people thickened the gravy and served It with spetzel, south German dumping made of flour, but, alas, no eggs, as in nausea people came to like the concoction. It filled vacuum, and that is everything when ones head Is light from still lighter diet. The same meat corned and called Robbins Flcisch was sold, and served in slices, at four marks a pound. It was a very good imitation of corned beef. better than stewed. and could be eaten cold on bread. As the potatoes became scarce. the bread which had been doled out on allowance began to de- teriorate in quality. As long as 1t was composed of 20 per cent of potato flour 1t was not bad, and served to satisfy the children when spread with malt extract, in place of sugar or sirup, or the fla mous Kriegs- -Marrnalade. a marmalade made of saccharfne, beets. tomatoes and turnips, colored red. With the reduction of the potato flour in the bread. coarser grains were added; but now 5 per cent sawdust and per cent flour ground from straw are used. In consequence, people are suffering greatly from anemia; stomach troubles are on the increase, especially ulcers of the stomach, and thread worms
 How can people fed on sawdust and ground straw be expected to fight on forever at the behest of their ruiers? will they?

The piano. mandolin and imitation Hawaiian band selections were fine, and the solos, quartets and recitations were greatly enjoyed, as were the talks of Miss Ruth Law and Major Cotton.
 I also got to make talk and consid- cred 1t a great privilege to speak to men who had not only volunteered their services to their country, and were get ting ready to go to France, but who, out of their army savings, had subscribed on an average for the entire company S136 each toward the liberty bonds, hold- ing the record for Camp Mcclellan.

 I also could easily see why Uncle Sam had chosen the color to uniform his boys In, for it harmonized with the ground and vegetation and gave a living exhi- bition of "camouflage."
