FREE STORAGE FOR BONDS.

Liberty bonds and have no place in which
to keep them should take advantage of
the banks offer to take care of them.
This the banks will do without charge.
Receipt of the bonds is noted in the depos-
itor's pass book, and a withdrawal may
be made on the owners order. Interest
coupons as they fall due are collected and
the amount credited to the depositor's S
account.
Cnscrupulous men have found many of
the smaller Liberty bond holders easy
prey in their schemes to exchange the
bonds for securities promising higher
rates Of interest, but which are in most
instances not worth the paper on which
they are printed. By intrusting these

ESSENTIALS FOR
new GARDEN PLOT
First Thing to Do Is to Remove
All Dead Weeds and Trash
Of Any Sort.
GOOD DRAINAGE is REQUIRED
Flowing or spadlng Should Be Done
at Earliest Possible Moment
Best Plan to Prepare Soil for
Planting as Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The first problem In preparing the
land for garden that has been used
for this purpose is to remove all dead
weeds, sticks, stones, bushes and trash
of any sort. Briers and bushes should
be dug up by the roots so they will not
sprout again.
Good drainage Is essential to a sue.
cessful garden. If the land is not well
drained, this should be corrected as
the first step in making the garden.
Tile drains may be used or the land
may be bedded by plOwlng 1t in long,
narrow lanes, leaving the middle fur
rows as drainage bitches. In the case
of gardens spaded and worked by hand
the same results may be had by bed
ding up the soil. Vegetables will not
thrive in poorly drained soil no matter
how much care is given them
Break Soil Early.
Flowing or spading should be done
at the earliest possible moment, In or
der that in sections of the country
where freezing occurs the soil may be
subjected to freezing so that 1t will be
broken up by the action of the frost
and be mellow and frlable when plant
ing begins. Nothing aids in the PREP
aration Of soil, and especially stiff
soils, like freezing and thawing. 1t
is especially important that ground in
sod be plowed and the grub-worms and
other alternating insects and worms
may be destroyed.
Where severe freezing is sure to oc-
cur after the plowing is done little
harm will be done by plowing the
ground while wet. Otherwise the
ground should not be plowed until fair
ly dry, or clods will result.
Lime Is Important.
It is an excellent plan to make an
application Of air-slaked lime or ground

to get the plowing done before freez-

freezing and thawing kills alternating
insects, as well as loosening up the

this time so as 70 become Thoroughly
mixed with the soil before the manure
Is applied. Manure and lime should
not be applied at the same time, as the

the manure.
To produce satisfactory crops of veg
etables the soil must be kept in high
state Of fertility. 1t is an excellent plan
to apply stable manure to the freshly
plowed or spaded soil, this to be work
ed In either with disk harrow, or in
cases where hand labor is employed,

followed later on by a surface coat Of

Cultivate the Fall Garden.

Good cultivation kills weeds, con-

Now is the time to kill the weeds.
Let no weeds ripen their seeds In
your garden. Not only keep your crops
free from them but see that the strips
along the fence do not mature a crop.
The main purpose of cultivation,
however, is the conservation of soil
moisture. If enough cultivation is done
to lock the moisture in the soil, all the

Stir every portion Of your garden
once a week and after every rain, as
soon as the excess moisture has evap-
Grated. Cultivate the part of the gar
den you have not planted just as faith
fully as the part you have planted.
Cultivate the part that has not been
planted, even if the crop has not come
up. The dryer the weather the more
important is cultivation.
Deep cultivation is injurious to most
garden crops and beneficial to none. An
inch or an inch and half is deep

Stop Sweet Potato Losses

Sweet potatoes should be thoroly
ripe before digging. The grower can
determine if his potatoes are ripe by
cutting one in half and exposing the cut
surfaces to the air for a few minutes,
If the cut surfaces dry readily. the po-
tsto is mature and is ready to dig. In
case of danger from frost injury dig at
once, regardless of the stage of matur-
ity.
After digging, the potatoes should be
sorted into eating stock. seed, and
strings; each handled separately. Care.
full handling is essential for storing
with a minimum loss. Bruising or
breaking the skin with the finger nails
is responsible for large amount Of the
loss in storage. If the haul from the
field to the storage house is very long
a spring wagon should be used. In no
case should sweet potatoes be loaded In
sacks, or loaded loosely id the bed Of
wagon. Crates should be used.
When storing sweet potatoes for
commercial purposes a specially con-
structed storage houses should he pro-
vided.

KaIe Grows in Rich Soil.

Kale is a member of the cabbage
family which does not form a head, the
leaves being cut and used for green's;
The market gardeners cut the entire
plsnt, but In the home garden the plant
will continue production turnout the
winter If the younger leaves are left,
cutting only the maturer leaves.
Kale may be sown any time after
the MIDDLE of September, the earlier
sowings being ready for use in about
two months. Late sowings grow
slowly, but the plant Is as hardy as
salad onion and, grows wherever the
temperature is a few degrees above
freezing, standing unhsrmed thru
much lower temperatures. Like all
leaf vegetables, kale requires very
rich soil. Too much manure cannot be
given. Sow this in drills fifteen inches
apart, cover lightly,
The plant is ready for use when quite
small, so that the crop can Ebe thinned
and the trimmings used, leaving plants
eight to ten inches apart.

No Hog Cholera Cure Known.

The State veterinarian has been
hampered for sometime in his work of
hog cholera control by the sale and
distribution of so-called hog cholera
remedies. These remedies are being
advertised and sold under gross mis-
representations.
Farmers have bought these so-called
remedies because they believe the rem
edies could do everything claimhd for
them 10 the advertisements and on the
labels. Thousand of dollars are wasted
every year by farmers sin this way.
DIR. NJ. Jacob, state veterinarian, and
Harry L, Eskew, state pure food and
drug inspector, in cooperation with
Federal authorities propose to wage a
relentless war against these "hog
cholera venders."
One concern has recently distributed
advertising material wherein it is stated
that their Hog powder has record
Of IS per cent cures of hog cholera. +"
To anyone who hasshad experience
with cholera it should be we'll known
that such representation is untrue.
Unfortunately such an advertisement
catches some innocent people. The use
Of this remedy is followed by the con-
tinued spread Of hog cholera within
the herd and thruout the community as
we'll.
Hog cholera can easily be avoided by
proper vaccination and only in that
way.

Loafers Must Get to Work

s. F. Crocker. representative of the
War Labor Board. was in Somerville on
Tuesday and set about plans to see that
every man, woman and child in this
county who is physically able to per.
form any useful work lie put to that
work and kept at it for the duration of
the war,
This county has sent well above one
thousand Of her young men to the army
and navy and several hundred more
have gone to the shipyards, powder
plants, nitrate plant. and other war
industries. And their places have not
been taken as freely by those who have
grown accustomed to being idle as the
times warrant, according to Mr.. Crock.
er. Men 10 draft age who fail or refuse
to find useful employment are to be
given notice through the exemption
board that they must work or fight, an6
having an income to support themselves
and their families does not serve to keep
them from working. Men and women
not controlled by the draft are to be
gone after through the vagrancy laws
of the state which Mr.. Crocker says are
ample to meet the nesds of every case,
Women who are receiving funds from
their husbands in the army are not to
be exempted from the rules, but must
get to work and keep at it in spite of
their having these funds to live on. In
other words. according to the War La
Dor Boards representative, every indi-
vldual who can work must work and so
lend his hand to the winning of this war
in the quickest possible time.
Mr.. Crocker, while here, appointed ],
B. Summers as the boards representa-
tive in this county and went over with
him thoroughly his duties in the new
work. Mr.. Crocker will also return at
intervals frequent enough to see that
the plans are carried out and every one
gets to work.
We may expect some complaints from
slackers who desire to continue in idle
ness. but the man or woman who fails
or refuses now to get some useful la
Dor to do and then keeps at it constant
ly is no less a Stacker than the one who
fails or refuses to buy bonds or to
march to the front and fight with 9TH
