placed on the matter Of thorough cul-
tivation. If the work is properly done
at the right time, there will be little
difficulty in controlling weeds.
If the work is to be done with horse
drawn tools, the five-shovel cultivator
is an excellent tool, as ii breaks the
surface thoroughly. destroying weeds
very effectively, and leaves the ground
fairly level.
The hand cultivator is good imple-
ment. as it can be used for small
growing vegetables and those planted
too close for horse cultivation.
Hand Work Essential.
Some hand work is always essential
no matter how thoroughly the horse
cultivation is done. 1t is a good plan
to go over the garden after finishing
with the cultivator and, by means Of
the hoe or rake. pull clods and stones
from around the plants, remove any
weeds not destroyed by the cultivation.
and uncover any nlants accidentally
covered by clods or earth during the
cultivation.
1t is an eXcelle.i. Elan to train to-
matOes, peas. etc, on stakes or other
supports, as this makes it possible to
keep the garden in good condition with
minimum of labor.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1918-05-17

The first step in the cultivation and
care of the garden lies in proper plow-
ing, spading and preparation of the
soil. The entire seeded should be
thoroughly pulverized as deep as the
soil is plowed. The next step Is TO
make sure that the rows are laid out
perfectly straight and far enough apart
so that when horse cultivation is en-
ployed there will be sufficient room for
the horse to walk. and so that when
hand cultivation isN to be employed
there will be room for the wheel hoe.
Straight rows enable the gardener to
give the crops better cultivation than
would be otherwise possible.
Frequent shallow cultivation should
be given garden crops. BY keeping the
surface of the soil stirred dust mulch
is formed, which prevents the loss of
moisture. In this way weeds are pre-
vented from getting n start.
Cultivate After Rains.
The soil should be cultivated as soon
as dry enough after rain, to break
the crust and prevent baking. Sandy
soils may be cultivated when quite wet,
but clay soils should not be stirred
when wet enough TO cling together in
a mass when lightly squeezed in the
hand. Too much emphasis cannot be

PRUNE FRUlT-BEARING TREE
Attention Must Be Given to Removal
of Wood as Well as to Height
and Formation.

F'rom the United States Department Of
Agricultural
In pruning fruit-bearing plant like
the apple attention must be given not
only to the height and formation of the
head, but To the removal of wood as
well. The apple bears its fruit on
spurs which are themselves developed
from wood one year or more of age.
For that reason, therefore, the re-
mOval of wood which carries fruit
spurs reduces the crop the tree is
capable of bearing. This then, is a
practicable way Of thinning the fruit.
Besides accomplishing this result prun-
ing can be used TO lessen the annual
growth and force the energy of the
plant which would naturally be used
in making wood into the fruit, thus in
creasing its size or enabling the tree
to carry larger quantity than would
be possible were q normal wood growth
permitted.

TO ERADICATE GARDEN PEST
Most Effective Method Of Combating
Nematode GaIlworms Is to
Starve II to Death.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The very serious losses caused by
the gallworm nematOde in gardens, es-
pecially in the South, have resulted In
troll. One of the most effective meth
DDS yet tested Is to starve the pest.
This may be accomplished by dividing
the garden into two parts, one of which
is available for cultivation, fowls be-
ing kept on the other half and changed
from one to the other about every two
to four years. The gallworm Is abso-
lutely dependent on the roots of the
higher plants for its nourishment. If
no such plants are allowed to grow.
the pest Is starved, and in the course
of year or two 1t can he brought to
a stage where its ravages will not be
serious.
Alternate Garden and Fowl Run.
The suggested alienation Of fowl
run with garden may be brought about
simply by fencing in the fowls. If
possible, it would be well TO arrange
the division of the land in the direction
Of its slope. so that the drainage will
not be from the garden to the fowl
run or vice versa. The idea is to keep
the fowl run free from vegetation for
q year or two. This means that about
the maximum number of fowls for the
area must be kept and that the soil
must be occasionally spaded or other
wise stirred. This stirring of the soil
is good thing for the fowls and helps
also to reduce the nematode pest, for
every time the earth Is spaded fresh
soil is brought to the action of the sun
and air and becomes more or less dis
infected through their action on the
eggs and larvae of the pest.
There are thousands of gardens
where this procedure is practicable.
Definite information with regard TO
the existence of the gallworm nema-
tode may be obtained by submitting
abnormal roots to the department Of
agriculture for examination.

The Marines would die for
Old Baptist DOC" He
almost died for them

BY sergt ALEXANDER WOOLLCOTT
of"The Stars and Stripes" A. I. +.
N7OU would turn your pockets inside out for the United
War Work Campaign if you knew dear old Doc OF the
Il Marines, a w hite-haired, slow-speaking padre, who is Y.
secretary with the leathernecks and so beloved by them that
it's past telling. He was a preacher in Arizona-had been, |
think, missionary with the lepers when the war came, and
he went from his pulpit to the Y.
They have always loved him, the Marines. I think it was
because he had the genius for meeting all mankind brother
tobrother. And because he would not spare himself
any hardship that the boys had to undergo.
If they hiked, he would not ride. If they had to march
halfway across France as fast as their legs would carry them,
Doc marched, too, and what Is more, carried the full pack,
lest any boy should ever say old Doc did not know what a
real hike meant.
Of course, their devotion became a cult on the Marine when
it was he who took the hind end of a litter and went out
through a very rain of shells to bring in and save the wounded
colonel. And they did save him. Can't you picture 1.-THE
two of them creeping over the t%reacherous ground, with the
private turning now and then and kissing back to poor old
bulky Doc not to stick up so far" in the air?
That little expedition dropped Doc unconscious with
gas and shrapnel, and when he came to he found that
quite nysteriously, all his Y ensgnia had been cut away and
Marine emblems sewed on in their place.
Doc holds services now and then. l know Of one a young
Jew organized. 1t was held in a deserted church which a
volunteer squad had spent three hours in cleaning for the
occasion-three hours routing the dust and cobWebs and litter
of fallen plaster and broken glass. Then the congregation
trooped in and the service began with the distribution of
rosaries fshed from Docs capacious pockets for the Catholic
boys, some OF whom had lost theirs in the fight.
They have a way Of looping their rosary through their left
shoulder strap and wearing it into battle as the knights of old
wore their ladys colors into the jousts. 1t is an inspiring
thing to see a whole company thus beautifully uniformed, but
sometimes, they come back with the beads torn away.
Well, Doc distributed his own supply and I doubt if a
passerby at that moment would have suspected him of being
a Baptist clergyman. Doc-and indeed most of the padres OF
the 'front.' have to rake their memories to tell what denomina-
ton was theirs before they took this great communion. -

ose creed and faith are Service. Keep yeD1
