HEAD OF ARMY TRANSPORTATION

The subject Of army transpOrta-
ton is so vast that in this article only
transportation by rail can be cOnsid-
cred. This is the backbone of our
modern transportation system, yet it
dates no further back In army history
than the time of the Crimean war.
The army officer now in charge Of
transportation, Brig. Gen. Chauncey
b. Baker, became deeply impressed
with the Importance of this branch of
the service during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war, when he was chief quarter
master of the Second division of the
Seventh Army corps and acting chief
quartermaster of the Seventh Army
corps. He has served three times in
placing the army in foreign territory
twice in Cuba and once in Vera Cruz
and last summer served as senior
member in charge of the American
military mission to France and Eng
land.
He has struggled against inertia,

PLAN SPRING GARDEN NOW
Agricultural Department Says There
Will Be Need for Large Pro-
duction In 1918.

Washington.-Take thought Of the
spring garden now.
Notwithstanding the large produc-
ton Of vegetables last year and the
great volume put into cans and Jars
for winter use, there Is nothing to in
dictate that there will not be equal
need for production and conservation
In 1913, says the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
Many gardens failed last year be-
cause Of poor soil or poor preparation
or both.
This is the time In many sections
to break and to fertiuze. Then in
the spring 1t will be easier to make
the seedbed and the soil will contain
plant food.
For the average householder 1t will
be sufficient to prepare ground enough
to produce the home supply for eat
ing In the fresh state and for can
ming, drying or brining for use during
the following winter. Producing veg
etables for market should not be IN
dertaken without full knowledge Of
horticulture and sufficient capital and
equipment.
