II KILLED, as WOUNDED

Northern Lights on Moonless Night
Guide Enemy Armen in Attack
on City.

London, March 9.-Eleven persons
were killed and forty-siX others were
injured in an airplane raid on London
on Thursday night, according to the
latest police reports, says an official
announcement. 1t is feared that six
more bodies are in the ruins of houses
wrecked.
Seven or eight German airplanes
took part in the raid over England.
One Of them, reaching London, dropped
bombs in the northwest and south
west districts of the city. Another
raider dropped bombs in the northern
district of London, demolishing sever
al houses. 1t was the first time the
enemy had attempted a night raid over
London when there was no moon.
There was a remarkable display Of the
northern lights, and it is believed by
many that this furnished conditions
under which the air raiders could work
more effectively than under a clear,
starlit sky.

Need More Hemn Seed.

The Hemp Order of the Wisconsin
Experiment association combines into
one great working body the hemp
growers of Wisconsin. Nine years ago
the department of agronomy started
hemp growing work in this state It
has taken these years to realize fully
the fruits of this labor. Last year
nearly 5000 acres of hemp were. grown
in Wisconsin,, and the prospects the
coming year are that still more will be
soWn. Wisconsin now ranks as the
second state in growing hemp. One of
the greatest difficulties that can be
solved for the hemp growers is the
production Of hemp seed. There is no
reason why careful Wisconsin farmers
cannot do we'll by growing seed for the
members of the Hemp Growers Order
and help out in this worthy line of eff

PLAN A WAR GARDEN;
FIGHT FOOD SHORTAGE
BY }. c. MOORE,
horticultural Department of Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.

The work done now may largely de-
termine the success Of the garden.
1t is time to begin to make definite
plans for the garden work which is to
be done when gardening time comes.
Don't waste your time next summer
in gardening in competition with trees
and shade. 1t can't be done success
fully.
Hoeing, watering and fertilizing can
not make up for lack of sunlight. Many
gardeners tried to make this substitu-
ton last year and found it wouldn't
work.
Good garden tracts may be spoiled
by worthless, often Self-planted, trees
or shrubs. Cut them out so your vege-
tables may not have to compete with
them for sunlight food and water
You will find. too, that your back yards
will look better without them.
If you can't remove these offenders,
or if buildings shade your garden for
the greater part of the day, begin at
once to make arrangements for a suit
able garden tract Ask the aid of the
local committee which is helping to get
gardeners and the garden tracts to-
gether.
What kind of a house would a car
penter build without 4 plan? How
would a garden which was planned,
row by row, While the planting was be-
Ing done compare with one carefully
planned in advance of planting?
The professional gardener finds a
plan necessary for best results. A def
mite plan is Of even more Importance
for the small garden if the best re-
suits are to be secured. Haphazard,
hit-or-miss garden planting usually re-
suits in poor use Of the soil and les
sened production. A good plan saves
much valuable time at, planting be-
cause the gardener doesn't have to
stand around and figure out where
things are to go.
AS soon as you know where Your
garden is to be, measure your tract and
then plan your garden on paper. A
good working plan should show:
1. Location of the different crops.
2. Distances between rows.
