MORE GARDENS
IN This STATE

LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 10
war garden movement which gained
such Roadway last spring upon the dec
laration OF war and which took the en-
tire country by storm is bigger than
ever In Indiana this year. according to
reports received by F. G. Gaylord,
state garden leader. A half million
gardens were planted tn Indiana last
year and their products were worth
$1O,000,00o, Is the belief OF G. l. Chris
tie, state food director, The number
Of gardens this year probably will be
increased to 100000.
In every city and town the plan is
being taken up on d more Intensive
scale and everywhere there Is evi-
dence Of determination among these
city producers to get the largest pos
sible returns from money and labor
expended. Early blight, which hit
hun dreds of potato patches; plant lice
and other insects and diseases, which
cut a big hole In the garden profits of
1917, will be guarded against. There
will be an organized fight against
these pests. Gardeners are going to
profit by their previous experience
To this end a score or more of In
diana cities. such as Indianapolis, Fort
Wayne, Evansville. South Bend. Terre
Haute. Muncie. Anderson, Richmond
Lafayette, Plymouth and others have
organized their local garden forces and
have obtained the services Of trained
supervisors to see that these insects

College Of Agriculture and the extern
sion department for FIVE days short

SOLDIERS BOOKS
ARE REQUESTED

Bookstore oldiers~ week will be
observed in Richmond this week ac-
cording to an announcement made
Monday by Mrs. A. L. Bernhard. Ii
brarian of the Morrisson-Reeves Ii
brary. The week Is being observed
throughout the United States.
In order to save as much money as
possible only technical, military and
war books are bought and the govern
ment is depending on the people to
contribute books of fiction.
There seems to be demand for
the works of Conan Doyle, Kipling.
Rex Beach. James Whitcomb Riley
and Robert Louis Stevenson" said the
librarian.
Persons who have books of fiction
which they have read are urged to
leave them at the Palladium office.
The books must be in condition to
withstand the use to which they are
put by the soldiers.
Louis j. Bailey, supervisor Of Camp
Sheridan. Shelby and M. Clellan, Tay-
lor Field and Fort Morgan libraries in
letter to Mrs. Bernhard says:
1T is an inspiration the way the
men want our literature. We had
faith last fallnow we have works.
We loan from two to five hundred
books per day in the central library
besides those sent out from our
branches in the Y M. C. A. and X. OF
G. buildings. In addition we have
books in the base hospital, company
mess halls. officers quarters, etc. We
are allowed to give any man going to
France a book to take along with him.
One of the first results Of that at
Camp Shelby was a request by a
chaplain for 1,400 books for his regi.
ment.
These camps are a wonderful de.
velopment and offer splendid view

at its best. There is only one grum,

population OF less than 10000 inhab.

RedCrOss Notes

The following appeal to the people
OF the country has been issued by the
American Red Cross:
Your spare clothing for the people
Of Belgium and northern France under
the occupation of the enemy.
These allies of ours behind the Ger
man lines, rich as well as poor, with
their native stocks of raw materials
long since exhausted, with no COM
mercial imports since the first occupa-
ton Of the country need promptly this
relief in their restitution. The guam
tity of raw material which we have
been permitted to import for manufac-
| ture into these parts of France and
| Belgium has never been sufficient.
We cannot purchase what is needed;
we must put our spare garments to
the service Of the world, q measure Of
pure economics, conservation and pa
| triotism.
One third Of every shipment will 90
to the people of northern France. down
close behind the German lines; two
thirds will go to Belgium.
| The Commission for Relief has the
ships, and safe conduct passes for its
| ship; It has the absolute assurance
through its own representatives in
Brussels that the clothing will be de-
| livered only to those for whom 1t Is
intended. The Germans have never at
any time seized the personal apparel
| of the individuals.
| The Wayne county chapter Of the
Red Cross has opened quarters for the
purpose Of collecting clothing, at IA
North Ninth street, and asks you to
| brink or send what you can spare.
| Units that have returned work to
headquarters are: Greensboro. one
pair Of socks: Fountain City. two
sweaters; Dublin, 119 bandages, and
Williamsburg, twelve pairs OF pajama
| suits.

France. Potter, whose father is pastor
of the First Methodist Episcopal
church in Anderson, was city editor OF
the Anderson Herald at the time he
enlisted in Battery F, and went with
the Rainbow division to France. In
his letter Potter said, in part:
Put your darling SON in q slicker,
tin derby on his head and a gas
mask on his face and you wouldn' I
know him from 1900 darling sons in

appearance Of frog. Seriously

have little to fear from the bosche gas,

Potter is a lover of good books and

GOOD VARIETIES OF SEED POTATOES
FOR RICHMOND WAR GARDENERS

2. For "black scurf' use corrosive
sublimate at the rate Of one ounce OF
crystals to seven and one-half gallons
of water. Soak the seed In this solu-
ton no longer than one and one-half
hours. The seed should be treated be-
fore sprouts appear. Corrosive sub.
Innate is q deadly poison and should
be kept away from children and live
stock.
Treatment for "hlack scurf" Is MOI
found necessary as often as 1t Is found
necessary to treat for scab. All pota
toes should be treated for scab with
the formalin solution whether scab Is
apparent or not, for the spores may be
on the tuber and later develop scab.
