ment to make him an efficient farm
worker.
The difficulty Of this plan Is that
old men sometimes lack patience and
lads often expect too high wages.
This difficulty, however, may be over
come. The inexperienced farm lad
can be shown that he Is not worth
more than one-fourth to one-half the
wages of the experienced farm laborer
and should not expect full wages until
he was capable of earning them
The amount of work that expert
enced farmers Of advanced years can
do is very considerable. They can not,
of course, do the toughest, heaviest
farm work, but they are able to per-
form such work as involves the driv-
ing of teams to the mower, disk har-
row, hay tedder, etc. They can also
see that the machinery and equip
ment are kept in repair so that no time
will be lost in the season of rush
work when every minute Of daylight Is
precious. This will be one effective
means of relieving the farm labor
shortage.

GARDENERS, AHOY!

February is the best month for gar
den planning. Before March is out
we must be up and doing, and he who
has no well-formulated plans will
surely be laggard in the spring cam
paign. Let us consider the need of
the situation. The war garden that
fulfills its mission should supply vege-
table food for the family during the
summer and a surplus to can, and
should produce many varieties for
storage over the winter Heretofore
in making up our seed lists we have
probably, allowed ourselves much lib
erty of choice. 1t is interesting and
exciting to experiment with Japanese
novelties, and to try the handsomely
heralded newest varieties of corn and
beans; but in our 1918 war gardens
these unproven allurements should
find small space. Far wiser is it to
follow the highway of certainty, leav
ing the devious If fascinating path of
experiment for less troublous times.
AS a shrewd farmer neighbor said to
me the other day, "this amt no time
for lemon crops" and it isn't. We
want fair results from every seed, we
want to grow enough vegetables to
supply the family for a whole year,
we want to make each square foot OF
ground attain the maximum of pro-
ductiveness. To these ends let us APP
ply our wits.
In just few words this should be
the gardeners program:
Send for seed catalogs today and get
in your orders as soon as possible
Seeds are scarce this year. Look
over your tools and garden accessor-
les; repair what is out of order and
buy what is missing. Prune and spray
your fruit-trees before this month is
out. Lime-sulphur solution is a good
winter spray. If you have only one
