100 feet OF row. or enough TO sup
ply vegetables for a family of four:
Beans. snap, one pint: beans. pole

pint TO one pint; cabbage, early 1-2
ounce; carrot. one ounce; cauli-
flower, one packet; celery, one pack
ct, cucumber, IL ounce; eggplant,
one packet; kale, or Swiss chard.
IL ounce; parsley, one packet;
parsnips, - ounce: satisfy, one
ounce; squash. summer. IL ounce;
squash, Hubbard type, II ounce.
The following vegetables, the spe-
cialists say, will undoubtedly be
planted in larger amounts than those
just mentioned, and the amounts of
seed given will be a guide for ordi-
nary requirements. Some families
may need more of the various vege-
tables and others will need less:
Beet, four ounces; cabbage, late, -
ounce TO one ounce; corn, sweet, one
pint; lettuce, one ounce; muskmelon,
one ounce; onion sets, quarts; peas,
garden. two to four quarts; reddish.
one to two ounces; spinach, IA
pound in spring and 1-2 yound in
fall; tomatoes. late, IA ounce; tur-
nips, IA pound; watermelon. one
ounce.
The string beans. bush lima beans,
sweet corn. lettuce. peas and rad
ishes will not all be planted at one
time. but successive paintings two
to three weeks apart will be made,
so as to have a fresh supply through
out the season.
OF early Irish potatoes. one peck
to II bushel will be required, and
of late potatoes 1-2 bushel to one
bushel, or more, depending upon
the amount of ground available for
this purpose.

Instead of buying wood, howe ye-.
and saving il up, we bought what
the carpenter called composition
board which we could cut more
easily. II was really but little work
10 make the partitions and nail
them in. Then we had a brilliant
idea about our shirt waist boxes.
We decided il would be an excellent
thing TO have trays in them. So we
made those next We used tGat
same composition board and made
trays five inches deep. A small strip
Of wood, nailed across each end OF
the boxes, held up the trays In
place. We punched holes through
each end and tied in cords or pieces
Of ribbon for use as handles. We
find the deep lower section of the
boxes excellent linen chests, while
the upper trays are convenient
rlaces for keeping shirt waists"

impetus to the number of enlistments.
the marines reporting nine, the army
nine and the navy seven. Most OF the
recruits had registered and then join
ed their coIors, setting another ex-
ample of patriotism in North Dakota
and Minnesota.
The little town of Deer Creek, Mimi,
a short distance from staples, is re-
ported to have registered total OF
"a men. Twenty nine of this number
then joined the colors. This report
was brought to Fargo this morning by
visitor at the Office of Sheriff A. M.
Ross.
No new orders were received at
any of the recruiting stations in the
three departments in Fargo this at

ships of war are known by the dis
tinctiye name Of marines" In near
w all maritime countries claiming TO
be war powers, they constitute q
separate military body trained to tight
either as infantrymen or as artiner-

naval engagements. They are or

VANDALISM new ACT NOT
BOOKED BY SEC. M'RObERTS
Windows Broken and Petty Thieving
Reported by State Fair Officials
After Visit to Grounds.

Vandalism at the state fair grounds
is an act which Secretary McRoberts of
the North Dakota State Fair associa-
ton has not booked, but it has come
as a free attraction and is giving the
officers of the fair association a realm
of trouble.
Young scamps have been visiting the
grounds of late and have bombarded
the windows of several of the buildings
with stones. The secretary, while he
approves of military training, does not
take to this kind. Parts from the
sprinkler have also been stolen and
other petty acts committed.
President G. o. Smith and Secretary
McRoberts visited the grounds Tues
day, making a survey of conditions It
was then that they learned Of the
wholesale depredations.

But Depended on Bdyonet
To Stay German Advance

nobleman and former adjutant in
the French army. twice wounded
and decorated with the Croix de
Juene by General Joffre, writing to
friends in Fargo from Portal, N.
d., pictures In words the unpre-
paredness of the French at the be-
ginning Of the war.
The baron explains how French
troops fired blank cartridges to
make a noise and depended upon
the bayonet to repel the Germans,
this being the state of affairs In
the early days OF the war. He
touches lightly on the CHASTITY hor-
rors to be witnessed on the battle
fields and in the trenches. He tells
Of the intense bombardments in
which sometimes men stood up to
their breasts in water and fought
for days without relief until hum
dreds of men were so exhausted
that they rolled into the mud and
were drowned. He states that the
intensity of some of the lombard
ments was beyond description. the
Germans firing 10 to Is shots per
second to every yard. He reports
seeing mems hair turn grey in a
second owing to the concussion.

baron, "but I didn't miss him.
After that there was no more com

tically unscathed and then to go
