NEW BULLETIN ON
VEGETABLE GARDEN

Corvallis, Ore, Feb. 14.-War gar
dens in 1917 failed in many in
stances for one or more of the fol-
lowing reasons:
l. Unfavorable weather. The
late, cold, wet spring and hot, dry
summer emphasized the value of irri-
cation.
q Hasty planning. See suggest
i've planting plan in bulletin.
3. Improper choice of ground.
Select suitable areas or prepare un-
suitable better.
4. Poor handling of sod lands.
Disk thoroughly before plowing, and
work up we'll afterwards.
5. Lack of fertilizer. Give the
soils humus and available nitrogen
stable manure excellent for both.
6. Inferior seed. Buy only good
seed of right variety from reliable
dealer; or test for termination.
7. Incorrect seeding. Follow di-
rections in pamphlets bulletins and
especially as to depth of planting
and number of seeds to the row.
s. Ravages of insects. Get and
follow direction from department Of
entomology. Also get bulletin $50,
U. S. d. A.
8. Lack of experience of growers,
who planted through patriotism. The
years experience should be valuable
this year.
The bulletin is the first Of new
series being prepared by A. G. Bou-
quet, o. A. c.. and can be had free

war lords can be met, even though
1t may have to be with currency
that would not pass for ten cents
On the dollar in another country.
Setting aside the possibility of
reputation of the war debt which
would probably have the worst
economic consequences, it is evil
dent that the German people are
! to be buried under a burden Of
debt that is likely to keep them
IN n, economic servitude for years.
Inc Germans have not paid for
the war as they carried it ON for
they intended and still intend 70
make others pay for it later on
II Germany has to pay her debts
out OF the proceeds of fairly con-
Quoted commerce. her great plans
will go glimmering. It is pretty
certain, therefore. that she will
make every effort to pass ON to
others by unfair trade practices
the burdens which the war she
started has laid on her.. Her peo-
pie have SO far paid little more
than comparatively small war
profits tax. After the war. they
will be called upon for heavy
taxes Of every kind, and will not
then be enjoying the war profits.
Interest alone on the German war
debt to date is more than a bill
lion and halfdollars. The saw
lngs of the German people before
the war were estimated at two
billion dollars from total income
of nine and half billions. With
her world trade disrupted, they
will mot be more than that after
the war. If to the interest |
charge is added German estimates /
of $7OO,OOO,OOO for pensions, and
then something more for gradual
payment Of the war debt, it is evil
dent that there will be no savings
for investment for many years.

means of Kidding the world of the
Hohenzollerns and making a re.

KILL THE ANT,

The Thibodaux Commercial

account of the determination of its
citizens to get rid of the detesti1
bic little ant. The conditions
here are about as bad as any

started for its determination. In

crlptlon. Look where you will,
at most any time or place and the
ant will be seen at work DESTROY
ing something of value to say
nothing Of the annoyance and
discomfort i'll every household.
Concerted steps should be taken
to eXterminate the pest at once:
Our people should rally to the
effort being made by the parish
and its officers through Parish
Demonstration Agent Barrios and
cooperate with him to the fullest
extent i'll his efforts to eradicate
the ant, thereby lessen the. depre-
dations being made upon food and
crops by this unwelcome pest.

tried, destroying ants, there is no
telling what or when the end viii!

ants are to be the benefciaries-
The discomfort alone. for which

sale destruction. DO not permit
your neighbor to experiment, but
