Garden Sprlnklinu Harmful.

Watering a plant or garden space
by sprinkling is usually more harmful
than helpful, inasmuch as 1t induces
the growth, up in the moistened area,
of fine feeding rootlets that should be
deep In the ground, says Woman's
Home Companion. These. reaching In
a network near the surface for the
moisture, find themselves exposed to
the fierce and baking heat Of midsum-
mer whenever the moisture dries out,
and dry out it will. They are unable
to bear this scorching. being extremely
tender and demanding cool earth
around them, and the result is either
death to the plant or so weakened and
miserable condition that it might as
well die.
This surface watering by a hose or
hand bears no relation, Of course, to
a thorough saturation as system OF
irrigation makes possible. But unless
such a system is installed, would
urge every gardener in the country to
pin his faith to the cultivator and his
own industry Herewith, rather thar
to any method Of watering by hand
Certain things may be "watered in
when transplanting; but otherwise
eschew the hose and watering can.

PRACTICAL CLEANUP DAY
How the People Of an Iowa Town I'M
proved the Roads Leading Into
| the Place.

In Farm and Fireside a writer
says:
"When the town of Mitchellville,
Ia, with a population of 900, decid-
ed on general cleanup, a woman
arose in meeting and promised the
help of the women In every way pos
sible. She suggested that perhaps
about all they could do would be to
cook picnic dinner. Whereupon one
man arose and gave it as his opinion
that inasmuch as Iowa was in fair
way to have equal suffrage shortly
and the Mitchellville women had been
insstent upon 1t, he, for one, thought
the women ought to work alongside
the men on cleanup day. And work
they ddi
"While other towns were content,
on such occasions, to remove the I'M
slightly ash heaps that disf1gured back
yards and otherwise make more pre-
sentable the general municipal APP
pearance, the Mitchellville workers
decided there was no reason why every
able-bodied man and woman should
hot put III ten SOOu, SOllu uouio "Oih
on the roads leading into the town.
"Roads, they argued, were a coun-
try towns principal asset, as with
out them the country trade, which
kept the town prosperous, was not
Forthcoming. What If there were
an ash heap left at night, would it
not be better to have few miles
of good roadway all completed, so the
farmers could come in with produce
and go back with their wagons and
automobiles filled with all sorts Of
store goods?
$50 men and women alike of
Mitchellville worked all day long,
though the sun was hot and the work
was hard. Today the Mitchellville
speedway, six miles long, is monu-
ment to the efforts of the men and
women of Mitchellville who decided
that cleanup day should mean some
thing more than just idle talk and
newspaper publicity"

ADDED TO NATIONS WEALTH
Home Gardens Have Been Of Great
Benefit Both to the Country and
to Communities.

The campaign so persistently con-
Quoted last spring and summer to en-
list families in the home garden move
ment can be said to have been an ex-
traordinary success. The estimate that
$3.50, 100000 worth of produce has been
raised in war gardens in the United
States this year and that housewives
have canned at least 460,O00,0O0 jars
of vegetables and fruits Is impressive.
The figures, Of course, cannot be any
where near exact, but there can be no
question that the total amount Of food
stuffs produced has been enormous,
and they are probably not excessive.
All of 1t was clear addition to the
wealth and resources of the nation.
Thus, labor and land that had for
merly gone unused brought practi-
cal benefit to the laborer and the ma
ton. The investment has paid so
well that 1t ought to be repeated on
q more extensive scale next year. Hun
dreds of families who never had gar
den before have enjoyed fresh vege-
tables from their home yards this sum-
mer. Many of them have learned some
thing of the art of gardening and have
become keenly interested in. it. All
have benefited physically from inter-
esting work In the open air.
These need not be advised to plan
for bigger garden next year. But
those who, through procrastination and
indolence, failed to realize the profits
Of gardening this year should start
making plans for next spring now.

lust THE OLD HUN TRICK
London Press Asserts Austria's Peace
Conference Is Cynical and
lnsincere.

London.-The Daily Mail. under the
heading THE Word OF Austria, but
the Kaiser's Voice." says the Austrian
invitation TO the allies to open "a con-
fsdential, nOnbinding discussion" of
peace terms is another form of the old
German trick.
The Daily Telegraph says: "Nego-
tiatlons ut the present moment even
though they brought temporary peace
would only postpone the final struggle
between might and right. SO long as
the kaiser and his pan-Germans direct
with irresistible authority the destinies
OF Germany so long can there be no
question of an armistlce or purely
academic negotiations. The note is dis
Ingenious, cynical, and insfneere-an
attempt to divert the entente powers
from a resolute prosecution Of the
war"
The Austrian note is regarded In
this country as maneuver to obtain
needed breathing space for the sorely
tried central empires and to impress
their own people with the desires OF
their rulers for a cessation of the
struggle which Is wearing them TO u
shadow.

bined peace offensive which has beer

taken definite form within the last
