Peas should be drilled In rows. one
to two pints being sufficient for a 100
foot row. The individual peas should
be placed about 1 inch apart in the
rows. The distance between rows will
depend upon the kind of cultivation
to be employed, and upon the varieties
used. The dwarf varieties need not be
any farther apart than necessary to
insure cultivation, While the taIl-grov-
ing sorts should not be planted closer
than 3 to 49, feet apart.
A good scheme is to plant two par
allel rows Of peas about or inches
apart then leave space of IS inches
or two feet and plant two more rows
of seed close together. Fewer strings
or less brush will be required to sup.
port them than when planted in single
rows at the greater distance.
If peas are TO be grown for immedi-
ate use only, a quart will be enough TO
plant at one time. However, if it is
desired TO grow peas for canning, large
paintings should be made. If space
is available, it is an excellent plan to
make considerable planting at one time
OF some one variety, so that the peas
for canning will be available in con-
siderable quantities. This enables the
housewife to get the canning out of
the way in comparatively short time.
Successive paintings of the various va
rieties of peas should be made at in
tervals Of about two weeks, until the
weather begins to grow warm, when
the paintings should be discontinued.
1t is possible in some sections to
grow fall crop Of peas. When this
is done, early varieties should be used.

Kale is closely related to and pos
sesses many of the characteristics of
cabbage. 1t is very hardy and may be
planted in the autumn in the entire
southern portion of the United States
It will thrive on any good soil and
responds readily to liberal applica-
lions Of stable manure.
Kale may be soWn in drills or in
some cases may be sOwn broadcast.
When soWn in drills quarter ounce
of seed is sufficient for a 100-foot
row. Kale may be sOwn as soon as
the ground is in condition to work
Successive paintings may be made at
intervals through the summer but
nickings can be made from the first
planting during the entire season.
When planted in drills the plants may
be thinned as soon as large enough,

A BUG SAVES
SOLDIERS LIFE

Lieutenant Andrew Naismith of the
Canadian Artillery was giving a lee
ture on the wonderful work of the
American Red Cross in the devasted
regions Of France, when he depressed
long enough to tell funny story.
He mentioned that the trenches are
overrun with rats and vermin of all
kinds and the men soon get to witch
ing and scratching like a lazy dog
biting at feas on a summers day. It
is one of the real problems of the army
to discover means of stamping out
the pest.
"At one time an officer was annoyed
so much by the 'cooties,' which is
trench slang for the vermin," said
Lieutenant Naismith, chat he reached
inside his shirt to grab the offender.
Just as he did so he was bitten again
Reacting ANONYMOUSLY he jerked his
head aside and bullet fired by a Ger
man sniper passed where his his had
been the moment before. Slowly he
pulled out the cootie and said: My
friend, | cannot give you Victoria
Cross but | can give you a damned
good home,' and he tenderly replaced
the bug in his shirt!'
The Red Cross provides canteens
near the front where the soldiers may
get baths and have their clothes steri-
lized. After day or so in the trench
es a soldier values that canteen more
than anything in the world.

DELAY YOUR
PLANTING

One result Of the wide spread agi-
tation in favor of home gardens has
been drive for immediate planting.
According to the Weather Bureau this
is i'll advised in many localities. This
is particularly true in Wisconsin where
over large part of the State, the
danger from frost will not pass for
several weeks
Unless the gardener is quite sure
he can protect his crop from frost,
the advice of the Weather Bureau is
that he delay planting for a couple
weeks, or until he knows he is on the
safe side.

SPECIALIZED FARM IS RISKY

CFrom the United States Department Of

While the highly specialized farm
represents the possibility of great
profit. it also represents the POSSIBLE
ity of heavy losses on account of the
tremendous fluctuation in production,
and consequently in prices, of the

WAGE WAR ON WEEDS

prepared by the United States De-
partment of Agricultural
Good rotations and efficient
farm practices will subdue
weeds.
a Three main principles of weed
control must be observed: %
Prevent weeds from maturing
seed on the farm, CD prevent
the Introduction of weed seeds
on the farm, and 81 prevent
perennial weeds from making
top growth.
The principles are the main
thing; the particular method
employed is of lesser impor-
lance.
Next to the principles ranks
the man behind them. Many
men make a start to clear their
farms Of weeds but give up too
soon. Often the campaign is
stopped when success is in
sight, and the weeds soon re-
cover.
Clearing a farm Of weeds,
especially perennials, is no easy
task; it requires more than av-
erage Intelligence and persever-
ence. If, however, one faith
fully carries out a plan of at
tack based on the above prin-
ciples of weed control he can
practically rid his farm of
weeds without a great amount
of extra labor and expense.
Weed control is frequently a
community problem, and for the
greatest permanent success CO.
operation among farmers is re-
quired.

OF LAND FOR ALFALFA
Frequent Behring'S Should Be Made to
Ascertain Character of Soil-Use
Common Anger.

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
In examining a tract Of land for al
falfa frequent borings should be made
with a soil auger to determine the
character of the soil and subsOil as
well as the drainage conditions. This
instrument will usually be of greater
value in determining the adaptability
of a particular tract to alfalfa than
chemical analysis of the soil. A COM
mon 11k-inch anger with the shank
heightened and a suitable crossbar for
a handle is practical for this use.

TO start with heavy draft mares and

The spraying of trees during winter
and spring or when they are in a dor
mant condition, is directed largely
against scale insects, especially the
San Jose scale. There are two prin-
cipaI advantages in spraying at this
time: (D The absence Of foliage per-
mits Of more thorough applications,
and % the sprays may be used much
stronger than during the growing
season. Contact sprays are employed,
as lime-suIDhur solution, fsh-oil and
other soap washes, kerosene and crude
petroleum erulsiOns, miscible oils, and
the like. The prime essential is thor
oughneSs in making applications, so as
to cover every part of the tree, because
in general only those insects actually
hit with the spray are killed.
Applications may be made in late
fall as soon as mOst-of the leaves have
fallen. at favorable times during the
winter when the temperature is above
the freezing point, or, preferably, in
the spring shortly before the buds are
due 10 swell There is probably less
danger to fruit buds and twigs from the
use of sprays in the spring than at 9TH
