lent plan to follow early potatoes with
iate cabbage, as none OF the insects
that affect early potatoes are liable
to modest the late cabbage, and II Is
possible to set the plants between the
potato rows some two or three e
before the potatoes are dug. In this
manner sufficient time Is gained to
permit the cabbage to reach maturity
before hard freezing weather occurs
In the fall.
The rows should be about 3 feet
apart and the plants some 2 feet
apart in the rows. Slight freezing
does not injurc cabbage, but 1t should
not be subjected to repeated freezing
and thawing. Late cabbage can be
stored by taking up plants and pack.

CELERY.

Celery seed should be sown In the
hotbcd or window box about the time
OF the last frosts in the spring. The
seed Ii very slow In terminating and
the plants are small and delicate.
They nre improved by transplnnuns
ut least twice.
Celery requires n deep, rich, moist
soil with plenty Of well-rottcd manure
or fertilizer and frequent shallow cul'
tlvation. In the garden, celery may be
planted after some early crop, such as
lettuce, radlshes or peas. As soon as
the plants attain considerable size the
leaves should be drawn together and
n little soil compacted about the base
OF the plant to hold 1t upright. II the
blanchlng Is lone with earth, care
should be taken that the hearts OF the
plants do not become filed. Boards
paper or other material may be used
for blanching. but earthlng up Will pro
duce the finest flavor.
Celery may be stored and kept fol

and covering II with fodder or straw
In trenches covered with coarse ma

The tomato Is one OF the most salts

advisable to have II few tomato vines.
Tomatoes will grow In almost any
good soil, but the soil should not be
too high in heterogeneous matter, rs this
will cause the plants TO go to vine,
rather than TO fruit. The plants should
be started In the window box or In the
hotbcd, some six weeks before time to
set them In the open. Fol best results

once. 1t Is possible to secur n crop

plants indoors In pots and transplant

set In the open until about W. weeks
after the last killing frost. II set
sooner than this, they should In all
cases be protected from frost with n
muslin cover or with boxes covered
with glass or by other means.
The pot-grown plants are especially
desirable, as they may he brought to
the blooming period by the time 1t Is
warm enough to plant them In the gar

Paris, April 1.--While there is no
false optimism regarding events in
northern France in the American ex-
peditionary force, all ranks, although
realizing that the situation is tense,
are confident that allied arms even
tually will be victorious. Every man
is intensely interested in the out
come. Newspapers containing the Of
fetal statements and descriptions
from newspaper correspondents are
eagerly read by all the Americans,

Enormous German
Losses Confirmed
By Prisoners

Regarding the losses suffered by
the Germans in the battle of Picary,
an official dispatch from France yes
terday said:
Although as yet our information
is very incomplete it is certain that
the German losses in the battle of the
ISomme have been enormous. Prison
ers who were questioned on March 25
reported, for example that the Eighty
eighth division of infantry was almost
completely annihilated, and that the
206th division suffered heavily. The
losses are chiefly due to the machine
guns, which, installed with determin-
ed effort in shell holes, NOW down
to the very last the dense enemy for
nations. s,aaT
''The bodies Of both friends and en-
emies are stripped as soon as possi-
BILE by the Germans and left entirely
nude. The booty thus obtained by
seizing the equipment and clothing
is collected and sent to the rear, so
great is the scarcity of clothing and
leather.
"The prisoners when questioned do
no conceal their amazement at the
very small number of English and
French dead which they passed in the
course of their progress. Finally they
admit the great surprise of their COM
manders in the resistance of the al
lied troops. They had, in fact prom
ised them that all would be over in a
few days"
