Fall Gardening
When to Plant and What to

dill Warden.
Every garden in Mise county
should be made to produce not
only fresh vegetables for spring
aud vegetables throughout the
summer, but also au abundance
of supplies for late fall aud win.
ter use. TO do this, it is noces-
sary to carefully plan the gar
den so that early maturing
crops may be followed by other
crops that viii give the largest
amount of food. In the garden
should be planted, for fall aud
winter use beginning about the
middle of July, beets, blood
turnips, COR early Egyptian,
spinach, planted in August,
Swiss chard, planted in the lat
ter part of July to later part of
August; scotch kalc planted
from middle TO last of August;
late cabbage, early bush beans,
cauliilower and turnips.
Probably, the best method of
planting beets, spinach and
chard is to have the land work
ed fino and smooth; be sure to
plant these crops not on ridges,
as is sometimes the custom, but
in furrough about an inch deep
covered with dirt slightly press.

inches apart; keep the ground
slightly stirred between the
rows III order to conserve the
needed moisture for the young

may follow between rows of
vegetables soon TO be harvested
This system Of double planting
should be followed in all garden
work for the very heavy pro.
duction. Cauliilower plants for

crops may be also planted be.

This speech Indicated fore
sight into conditions which do.
veloped and brought on the
present war.
Senator Swanson has contiu.
ued in season and ont of season
to urge large aud substantial
increase in the Navy. In 1916
when on account of the illness
OF Senator Tillman he was oct.
ing chairman Of the committee
on naval affairs, he had charge
OF the naval appropriation bill
IN the Senate, which became
law August %, 1916, and which
created Il new Navy and made
possible the present efficient
naval force. For three weeks
he had charge of this bill in the
Senate, and III conference final
~ secured its passage. This
bill rs it came from the House
Fof Representatives to the Sen
ate provided for five year ma
val program.
Senator Swanson, aided by
the members of the Senate com
mIttee, insisted that this five
year program should be chang.
ed to three-year program, and
40 per cent. of this be carried
out the first year. This bill
when reported to the Senate
had over 300 amendments,
changing entirely the personnel
of the Navy and increasing the
enlisted strength from 81 200 to
$1,000. 1t contained many 9TH
er important provisions, proyid-
ing guns, ammunition and
smaller naval craft. After II
hard fight on the floor of the
Senate and in conference this
bill was passed by the House
and Senate and became law.
Senator Swanson also had
charge in the Senate of the ma
val appropriation bill which re-
Gently passed and which in
creased the enlisted strength of
the Navy from 81 900 to 1874, $50.
This legislation marked the
second step toward the creation
of a large Navy.
The most cordial relations ex-
listed between Senator Tillman
and Senator Swanson. They
were tally in accord in matters
pertaining to the Navy, and
Senator Swanson, rs ranking
Democratic member of the com.
mittee on naval affairs, was al
ways selected by Senator Tilt
man to take charge of the work
of this committee whenever he
was ill or unable to give it his
attention.

Just completed over the whole
State shows that these figures
are correct. The greater part
of this loss can be prevented
and 1T is IA patriotic duty ut this
time TO do 1t. Furthermore. il
Will mean more money to the

In addition to the wheat loss

Several things need i'm.

sands Of bushels of wheat mex,

First. Start now to select
wheat for seed from fields that
are free from diseases such as
snuts and rust The latter dis.
ease is much more serious than
Is generally thought.
Seconi.-llave the threshing

Fourth. IF seed wheat con

Fifth.-Put and keep the har

otherwise thousands of bushels
may be added to the millions
already lost from other causes.
Sixth. Possibly the cause OF
the greatest loss in wheat i,
late seeding. Seed early but
not too early. All wheat should

Swanson to
Head Naval
Committee
Virginia Senator Named to
Succeed Late Senator
Tillman.

stor Claude a. Swanson, of Vir-
ginin, was today elected chair
man of the Senate naval affairs
committee by the Senate, to
succeed the late Senator Till.
man, of South Carolina. He
has for years been ranking
Democratic member of the ma.
val affairs committee, and has
handled the naval appropria-
tons bills on the floor Of Senate
when Senator Tillman wac too
i'll to do SO.
AT the same time Senator
Swanson relinquished the chair
manship of the committee on
public buildings and grounds,
though he still remains mem
Der Of that committee.
Senator Swanson was elected
to Congress in 1892, represent
ing the Fifth congressional dis.
trict of Virginia in the House
Of Representatives until 1905,
when he resigned to be inau-
gurated Governor of Virginia.
lie was Governor of Virginia
four years, and on the death of
Senator Daniel was appointed
his successor to fill out his un-
expired term. Senator Swan
son has twice been re elected to
the Senate by large mnjorities.
While member of the House
Of Representatives Senator
Swanson served on the ways
and means committee, ranking
ahead of Speaker Clark aud
Majority Leader Underwood.
Had he continued his services
in the House of Representatives
he would have on account of
his seniority, under the prevail
ing custom, been either Speak.
er Of the House or chairman of
the committee on ways and
means and majority leader.
Senator Swanson, on coming
10 the Senate, was assigned to
the committee on foreign rela
lonsrand the committee on ma
val affairs, on which commit.
tees he liz serving ut the present
time. He has served actively
on the committee on foreign re.
lations and has always been n
stanch advocate of an aggres-
siye American policy.
Senator Swanson, as ranking
Democratic member Of the com
mittee on naval affairs, has for
years strongly urged the i'm
portance of a large and efficient
Navy. On June 8, 1912, he de.
llYered, in the Senate, a speech
urging n large increase in the
Navy. In this speech he said:
ia the German empire max
ing prodigious expenditures for
great navy, with an immense
naval policy Of expansion
extending to 1917, for the
mere purpose of show and
parade and as a harmless play
thing for the mailed hands of
her imperial ruler!" He point
ed out that our national safety
and progress could not be main
tanned by paper parchments
and treaties-that on account
ofEconditions then existing we
could only depend on military
force and strength to yindicate
these rights. In pointing out
the necessity for immediate
preparation he used these words:
Mi. President, wars do not
come now, as formerly, after
years of protracted differences
and ill will, but they come sud,
