Take Tip From Old Mother
Nature When in Doubt About
: Time to Plant Your Garden

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
BY watching the processes of moth
er nature and taking q tip from her,
the home gardener who is not certain.
when he should plant his seeds may get
some valuable information. Garden
specialists divide vegetables INTO two
classes - swarm temperature" and
"cold temperature" vegetables. When
peach and plum trees are in blossom,
they say, it is time to sow in the open
ground such seeds as lettuce, radish,
parsley, beets, turnips, cabbage, car
rots, peas, and onions. The wrinkled
peas should not be planted until later,
as they are more likely to rot In cool
ground than are the smooth varieties
When the apple blossoms fall it is
time to plant the heat-lovlng vege-
tables, such as cucumbers, beans,
sweet corn, pumpkin, and squash.
This is said to be an old but excellent
rule.

Sudden Retreat of an Army
Is Often Reduced to Chaos
And the Resultant Disorder

"Moying great army is an affair
of timetables. There is room for only
certain amount of men and mate
rial on the roads and railways at one
time, and every man and every
wagon above that maximum becomes
factor of confusion and retards the
movement of the whole mass to a
dangerous degree" writes q. Ward
Price in the Century. "The sudden
retreat of an army is often reduced
to chaos, first, because a thoroughly
worked out plan of general retirement
exists but rarely In the StrOng-DoxeS
of any general staff, and, secondly,
because in the absence of timetable
drawn up in detail and strictly en-
forced, the elementary principle or
self-preservation leads every unit or
the army to put itself on the road
just as quickly as it can get trans
portation. This is not to say that
confusion is an invariable indication
of personal panic; but it is very nat
ural, and even very proper, that every
battery commander, the director or
every military store and depot, and
the leader of every body of troops
which is not definitely ordered to re-
main, should have the individual de-
termination that his particular COM
mand shall not fall into the hands OF
the enemy.
"The artillery officer firmly resolves
that he will save his guns at all
costs; the heads of the supply depart
ments are in charge of valuable stores
which their army needs for its very
existence and which would be of great
aid to the enemy if captured, and the
troop leader naturally argues that it
would be futile to allow his men to
be cut off when a general retreat has
been ordered. So if the organization
of withdrawal is left to the discre-
ton of the people involved in it, as
it has to be when the whole thing has
not been deliberately arranged before
hand, confusion is almost inevitable"

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER
CONGRATULATIONS 0 eeseoes
(By the United States Department of Agri-
ru1ture

Owners of back yards in cities and
towns are asked to do everything in
their power to help the meat and egg
supply by raising small f1ocks of poul-
try in back yards. Farmers are re-
quested greatly to increase their farm
flocks of hens so that 100 on every
farm will be the average for the ma
ton.
The following statement regarding
the poultry needs is taken from the
official agricultural program for 1918
issued recently by the United States
department of agriculture:
poultry production should be in
creased greatly, especially in back
yards and on farms, where waste ma
terial is available and the purchase of
expensive grains and other material is
not required.
Increased poultry production may
be attained most economically by early
Matching; by confirming mother hens at
least ten days after the chicks are
Matched; by reducing losses on ac-
count of rats, weasels and thieves, and
from cold, damp conditions; by thor
ough sanitation; by discouraging the
marketing of early-hatched pullets as
broilers; by eliminating non-producing
hens and keeping good layers through
at least two laying seasons; and by
the pOultryman raising his own feed
as far as possible"

fere with the production of steel
plates or shapes for steel vessels.
'The vessel contemplated In our de-
sign is of the same size, dimensions,
and form as the 3,500-ton standard
wood ship, except that the sheer line
amidships has been slightly altered
and no outer keel is fitted. The gen.
eral arrangement follows closely that
of the wood ship, including the num-
Der and location of the bulkheads. The
propelling machinery designed for the
wood ship has been provided prac-
tically without change in the concrete
vessel. The length will be 268 feet,
and the beam 46; draft % feet 6
inches, and full-load displacement
6,175 tons. The comparative weight
of hull is as follows: Concrete, $500
tons; wood, 1900; steel, 1,160; weight
of the ship, light, concrete, 1912 tons /;
wood, 2,777 tons; steel, 1000 TONS"
Faith Built in Crude Plant.
A representative of the Emergency
Fleet corporation who witnessed the
launching of the Faith at San Fran
cisco reports as follows:
"The ship was constructed by 40 or
so house carpenters, and the lack Of
machinery of the plant was especially
noticeable. A small power saw, the
concrete mixer, pile of lumber and
another of gravel seemed to be the
only implements and materials in the
yard.
The installation of the machinery
will in all probability be completed in
a month, when the ship will be at
once sent on long trial voyage.
'"The appearance of the Faith at a
distance is very little different from
that of any steel vessel of the same
dimensions She has been designed
to carry 5000 lightweight tons, and
d steel ship of the same dimensions
probably would not carry more than
5000 lightweight tons. The ship is
painted black, and the imprint of the
mold of the vessel is plainly visible
on close examination of the hull, MAX
ing the ship appear very much as if
she were built of lumber.
1.-THE engines will be of the triple
expansion type. AS this style pro-
duces the maximum vibration, the test
of the action of the vibration on con-
crete construction will be thorough.
This seems to be the only uncertainty
yet remaining to prove that the con-
crete construction of large ships is
wholly feasible. The Faith is the
first vessel that was ever launched
sideways in San Francisco. She
was not launched upside down, as is
popularity considered the manner in
which concrete ships are launched.
Small boats are usually constructed
upside down because of the ease in
cranking and in concrete ships be-
cause of the pouring of the cement.
The Faith was built and launched
right side up"

tically perfect condition; nor has there
been any cracking of cement.
100000 Tons by August, 1919.
"This department has completed the
detailed plans for a 3,50O-tOn concrete
cargo ship, and it is at work on plans
for 7,50O-ton type. We estimate that
between $50 and 200 3,5OO-ton con-
crete hulls can be completed by the
end of this year if we start immediate
ly, and that if the construction of hulls
of 1900 tons each commences by June
$50 can be completed by August, 1919 !;
that is approximately 100000 TONS"
what about concrete ship If at
tackled by submarines"
"a torpedo would blow hole in a
concrete ship just as in any other kind
of ship, but it would not crack the
hull, as some seem to have thought.
The concrete is not fragile like a
bowl; it is tough, due to the re-en-
forcing steel"
"How does the cost of the concrete
ship compare with that of stee.?"
"The concrete costs about two
thirds as much. Concrete ships can
be built in much larger numbers than
ships of steel or wood, mainly because
the concrete vessels do not require a
large plant installation and because
the material is readily available. Even
a small steel plant costs 100000. On
the other hand cement ship plant
can be built for $4,000. 1t may be
! made so as to be portable The prin-
cipal machinery required is mixer, a
| hoist, and a derrick. The time re-
| quired to complete a concrete ship is
practically the same as that in O we'll
organized steel yard, from two to
three months.
1.-THE ways used for a concrete ship
are the same as those for other kinds
of ships. The, first step is to build the
outside form, or mold, which is of
wood The reinforcing steel is then
placed in position, Next the interior
form is built. Then comes the pour
ing of the concrete into the form. No
interval is permitted In this; 1t is con-
tinued night and day In order to elimi-
nate joints as far as possible. This
operation requires several days. Three
or four weeks are given for the con-
crete to age Then the forms are
removed, and the ship is ready to pc
launched Thereafter comes the in
stallation of the machinery.
Material Is Plentiful.
"In concrete vessels large part Of
the materials used can be obtained in
almost any part of the United States.
1.-The steel used for the reinforcing
is of a different character in so far as
its shape is concerned from that used
in steel ships. AT present, with the
decreased amount of building of all
kinds throughout the country, re-en-
forcing steel for concrete can be Sc
cured in abundance and will not inter-

FoCh's Name Not Teutonic;;
Almost Rhymes With Hush

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived regarding the correct pronuncia-
ton of the name of the new generals
simo of the allied armies.
On paper Foch seems Teutonic, says
the Chicago Herald, and suggests
throaty gutturals of the kind that are
no longer popular in the civilized
world. But the name is pronounced
as if it were spelled Fosh, with a short
"o," like "uh," and almost rhymes with
"hush." This is on the authority of
LIE Courier des Etats Unis, a French
daily newspaper published in New
York.
General Foch is a Basque from the
Pyrenees, not an Alsatian. All Basque
names terminating in "ch" have the
soft ssh" sound instead of the Ger
manic cultural.

The "aces'' are the biggest assets the
magnates can boast of, and If you will
lamp the rosters of the sixteen major
league clubs you will find at least one

Tyrus Raymond Cobb is the greatest
drawing card in the business. He is
worth more to Detroit on the road than
all the rest of her players put together,
for the fans in rival towns go out large
ly to see Cobb, unless the Tigers are
up there fighting for a pennant, and
the rabids in small towns within easy
riding distance of the big league cities
never miss a chance to be on the job
when Cobb is billed to cavort at the
BAH park. So Cobb alone is worth
thousands of dollars to Detroit at the
turnstiles in the course of season.
