VIII Be Missed
Mrs. S. T. Biting, who has spent
the past three months in Carlsbad
expects to leave in the near future.
She, is thoroughly conversant with
the Red Cross work and her SER
vices have been in demand ever since
She arrive in the city. Last week
she conducted an oral examination
of the class in surgical dressings,
each member being examined on her
ability to make the different surgi-
cal dressings, of which there are
twenty-three. In the afternoon she
gave a written examination to the
class. the papers of which were sent
to Denver. where they will be graded
and returned. The nswer will de-
termine the fitness of the ladies to
give instruction in their turn in the
preparation of the dressings.
The Ladies
OF the Epiphany Guild of Socorro
gave a silver tea yesterday at the
home of Mrs. J. P. Chase. The pro-
ceeds are to be used to buy material

WARNING IS SOUNDED
OF SEED SHORTAGE
Careful Planting and No Waste
Is Urged on All Gardeners
This Spring.

Practically every scotsman in the
| country reports this season a shortage
of many kinds of vegetable seeds. Es-
pecially is this true as regards beans,
the crop of which was very short last
year. In view of this condition the
warning has been issued to gardeners
to figure carefully as to their actual re-
quirements, to buy only what they need
and to plant all seeds bought. In this
manner the supplies on hand will serve
for every one.
1t is not intended to create a scare by
calling attention to the fact that sup
plies,of many kinds and varieties of
vegetable seeds are short, but to i'm
press upon every gardener the neces-
sity for buying only such quantities as
are required and using such supplies to
the best advantage. The plan of lib
eral sowing and subsequent thinning
out OF rows, formerly advocated by
seedsmen and experienced gardeners
alike, is being discountenanced this
spring.
Various publications are calling at
tentiop, to the danger that in view of
may try to work of old and worthless
| stocks on unsuspecting or ignorant
gardeners. To avoid the disappoint-
ments sure to follow the purchase and
pidHtiHS OF Sucn SEEDS 1t is urged that
buyers patronize established concerns,
from whom they will be certain to get
seeds of high termination test. The
following will give an idea of the
quantity Of various seeds required to
plant 100 feet of row:
Bush beans, half pint; lima beans,
half pint; beets. two ounces; cabbage,
half ounce; carrot, one ounce; cauli-

BACKYARD FL0CKs URGED

The week beginning tomorrow has
been designated as national implement
inspection and repair week, during
which farmers, gardeners and poultry
raisers throughout the country are
asked to look after needed repairs for
the tools and equipment necessary for
the coming summers work Incubators,
breeders and poultry house and yard
equipment are included in the list of
appliances to be put in shape during
the week.
The long continued and severe win
ter has caused many poultry raisers
to delay plans for Matching and brood
ing. In consequence the rush that is
now setting in is already causing more
or less congestion of orders and delay
and disappointment in receiving needed
parts of equipment, Matching eggs or
early-hatched baby chicks.
Poultry raisers are also confronted
with the same difficulties as are faced
by gardeners-that is, lack of labor.
This, of course, does not affect the small
plant. which aims to produce only
enough poultry and eggs for home con-
plants. infinitely multiplied, that hum
dreds Of thousands of families must de-
pend during the coming summer, fall
and next winter for table poultry and
eggs.
Uncle Sam has already drafted the
hens and pullets of the country for the
great army of the home food guard.
Food Administrator Hoover, by his or
der against killing or marketing for
table use any hens or pullets for a
necessity for producing more poultry
and more eggs if the home population
is to be properly fed during this year.
Save the layers. SO that they may pro-
duce eggs for Matching. for table use
and for storage against the inevitable
season Of scarcity-this is the gist Of
the order.
The government says in effect that
Biddy didn't raise her chicks to feed
soldier. But the use Of more poul-
try on the tables of the folks at home
will release. just that much beef and
pork for the use Of our boys abroad
and for the armies and the civil popu-
lations of the allied countries.
To do this the number of poultry
f1ocks on farms and maintained in
yards in the suburbs and in every
village and community in the land
Last summer. autumn and during the
winter hundreds Of poultry raisers dis
posed of their fiocks because of the
high cost of feeds Of all kinds. AS a
consequence table SOU any

scarcely to be had even at that .price.
This condition existed in the face
of the fact that American hens in
1917 produced, in round numbers,
1000 900, 900 dozens of eggs. Reduced
to comparative food values. that many
eggs would equal about three million
beef cattle on the hOOf,
The American hen-and her hus-

front, but the American hen is the
one to depend on to add to the food
supply at home and thus do a mighty

CITY PEOPLE URGED
TO RAISE POULTRY
Small Backyard FIocks Ad-
voeated as Means of Helping
Out Supply of Food.

Residents of those sections of the
city where large back yards are to be
found are urged by the Department of
Agriculture's poultry husbandry bu-
reau to raise small fiocks of poultry as
we'll as to cultivate gardens during the
dozen hens. the departments experts
say. can be maintained at small cost
and their eggs and meat will make
material difference in the food outlay
for the family and aid in necessary
saving of other mSats.
Poultry raising can be made prof
liable, even at the present high cost
of grain feeds. the experts assert. A
dozen or so hens may be kept in
small. wire-inclosed yard provided
with a small weatherproof house such.
as can be constructed out of a piano
box. and the care of the flock will prove
interesting to the children, as we'll as
profitable. If the eggs are not used for
auired. Much of the feed can be in the
form of table scraps and kitchen
refuse: If such stuff is put through an
ordinary Kitchen food grinder the hens
will eat every particle of it.
The Department of Agriculture has
issued the following call to city people
and residents of nearby suburbs:
Our meat supply is short and more
poultry will help solve the problem.
More poultry means more eggs. and
more eggs and poultry meat mean Il
greater food supply. Poultry can be
| raised at lower cost and brought to
| maturity quicker than any other kind
| Of live stock.
House the flock comfortably: keep
| houses dry and well ventilated, allow
| ing plenty of fresh air and sunshine.
Remodel the old house-stop cracks
| and eliminate drafts. Give hens a good
| straw litter to scratch In during the
| winter months.

STARTING PLANTS IN
H0TBEDS OR cOLDFRAMES

Such vegetables as cabbage, toma-
toes. eggplant. caulifiower, peppers
and to some extent lettuce and even
cantaloupes and cucumbers. make more
rapid growth and come into bearing
much earlier If the seeds are plant
ed or sown in properly prepared soil in
hotbeds or coldframes. From the mid
die of February to the middle of March
is the proper time to make such SOW
cantaloupes and cucumbers the seeds,
usually four, to six. are sown on the
earthly sides of pieces of sod eight or
ten inches square. These sods are
placed in the hotbed or coldframe. and
the plants are put into prepared hills
in the garden at the proper time with
out disturbing them, the entire piece
of sod being transferred to the hill.
To make a hotbed plenty of fresh
horse manure without much straw is
required Get enough of it to fill the
pit two feet deep, il you make a pit
hotbed, and more than that much il
you make surface hotbed. Put the
manure in pile and let it get steam
ing hot. Then fork it over, throwing
the outside into the center of the new
pile. In another week the manure
ought to be ready for the hotbed.
Make a frame of boards eight inches
high in front and twelve or fourteen
at the back, and nail on end pieces
with sloping tops running from the
top of back to top of front. Glass sash
are usually used to cover hotbeds, and
because the sash are six feet by three
feet the hotbeds are six feet wide, and
some multiple of three feet long.
Heavy white cloth for a cover may
be used, if you do not have sash.
To make a pit hotbed dig pit the
size of the frame and put in six inches
of manure. Tramp this down evenly
and add tramp layer after layer until
the pit is full. Put the frame in place
and spread a layer of six inches of rich
garden soil or compost over the man
urc and cover with the sash. The tenn
perature will rise pretty high for few
days, then it will go down, and when
it gets to So degrees Fahrenheit sow
the seeds in rows four to six inches
apart.
Watering and ventilating must be
done carefully, so as not to chill the
plants. When the plants are two. or
three inches high, they ought to be
transplanted to stand two inches apart
in the hotbed or coldframe. Two or
three weeks before planting in the
garden they should be hardened off,
by transplanting to a coldframe or by
ventilation and finally by taking off
the sash.
A surface hotbed does not have a
pit; the manure is spread in six-inch

perts to Amateurs.

System in gardening, as in every
bringing success and its accompanying
pleasures. A garden planted according
to a predetermined plan not only looks
better, but yields more abundantly and
may be cultivated with far less labor
than one put into the ground in hap
hazard. hit-or-miss fashion.
Measure up the land available for
your garden and draw lines to repre-
sent it on a sheet Of paper. Then de-
eide what vegetables you want to grow,
and lay Off the rows and label each
one with the vegetable it represents.
Place the 1ow-growing plants. like
beets. carrots, turnips. lettuce, etc,
side by side, because If you have good,
rich soil the rows may be close to-
gether, from Is to 20 inches-and these
plants require similar treatment. If
the soil is not especially rich, the rows
must naturally be farther apart-20 to
80 inches-or the plant will not obtain
enough nourishment.
The taller plants, like bush beans,
bush lima beans. dwarf peas, potatoes,
cabbage, caulifower, eggplant, pepper,
may be planted together for good effect

should be about 80 to 36 inches apart
Then the taller plants. like peas with
bush or other, support), tomatoes
(staked). pole beans. pole lima beans
and sweet corn, should be in a section
together, for they need more room and
should not be allowed to shade the low
growing plants much. They should be
from 36 to 4S inches apart.
A good garden plan is an inspiration.
Have every part of the plan labeled
with the first crop and the second crop
