WOMEN TO THE FORE
Wives and Mothers Know Value
of Liberty Bonds.
War Behind the Lines Is Being Prose-
cuted on Tremendous Scale
Every Woman Can Help
Do Something.
(By ALBERT w. ATWOOD, Financial
Writer for the Saturday Evening

(By ALBERT w. ATWOOD, Financial
Writer for the Saturday Evening
Post.)
The day seems to have passed when
woman's education consisted Of piano
lessons and a little polite French.
Now she studies biology, Psychology,
and all the other ologies. In this
great and radical change In the posi-
ton of woman Ii will not do to over
look the change In her relation to
money matters. 1t is no longer un-
womanly to know something about
money. Feminine charm Is not d.
minished by knowing the difference
between bond and a share of stock.
Millions of women earn their living
today. Hundreds of thousands have
independent means and must decide
for themselves in affairs financial.
More and more of the wives, mothers.
and sisters not only spend the house
hold money, but are consulted by the
men when an investment is to be
made. 1t matters not whether the
investment consists of victrola, an
automobile, or bond. 1t is said men
do not take their wives into their con-
fidence when they gamble or take
flyer, but 1t is also said that deception
In these matters does not pay.
So there is every material reason
why women should do their part and
more In floating the Liberty bonds.
Indeed woman recognizes a gold
dollar Just as quick as a man, and
when 1t pays good interest in addition
she is not going to turn 1t down. But
there is more than a purely busi-
ness and selfish side to the women of
this country. They have surprised
even themselves with their executive
ability and powers of business organ
izahon. The Red Cross and every
other variety of relief work has been
In its detail largely the result of
woman's effort.
Behind the lines women are prose-
cutting the war on tremendous scale.
There are millions of men as well as
women who cannot fight In the
trenches, who cannot even drive mo-
tortrucks or work in munition fac
tories. There are some people who can
not even successfully raise vegetable
garden, but there is not an adult man
or woman outside the poorhouse and
the hospital who cannot either buy or
help to sell Liberty bond. u Is the
least they can do.

BEETs.

The red garden beet may be grown
In my good soil, but rich sandy loan
will give the best results. The seed
may be sown In spring as soon as the
ground is In condition to work. They
may be planted two weeks before dan
ger of frost Is past. If for horse cul-
tivation, the rows should be from 2h
to 3 feet i.part, or wide enough for the
horse to walk between the rows. If for
hand cultivation the rows need not be
more than IL to 1S inches apart. The
usual custom Is to SOW the seed some
what closer together than the hrets
are desired. and after the beets are up,
to thin them from time to time, using
the ones removed for greens until the
beets finally are some 4 to inches
apart In the rows.
1t should be remembered that what
is commonly termed beet seed Is really
seed ball, containing several indi-
vidual seeds, and for this reason each
one of these balls may bring from 3
to 4 plants. All of these plants except
one should be removed during the thin
ming process. Two ounces of the seed
are sufficient to plant 100-foot row.
Beets should be planted In success

Don't Buy Too Big Bond.

Here is word of advice for the
farmer bond purchaser. Don't bite off
more than you can chew. Your gov
ernment doesn't want you to STRAP"
yourself or run into financial difficult
ties trying to pay for bond. Buy one
small enough so you will be able to
pny for it In the allotted time without
having to- borrow money to meet the
obligation. Its value will represent
your savings for that period of time.
II your circumstances won't permit of
YOU purchasing n $1,000 bond. buy on
ly a $500 one. Don't compllcate our
already complicated financial problem
by assuming a debt you can't pay.

cUcUM RERs.

The soil for cucumbers should be a
rich sandy loan. rather moist but not
wet. The seeds may be planted In
berry baskets or on sods In the hotbed
and these transferred to the open
ground, or the seed may be placed d.
rectly In the ground. Considerable
time will be saved by starting the
plants in the hotbed. In either case
they should not be placed in the open
until the ground has warmed up.
which will be about four weeks after
the last killing frost In the spring.
They may be planted in hills feet
apart each way or drilled in rows 7
feet apart In the rows. 1t Is q good
plan to use an abundance of well-rot-
ted manure in the holes or In the rows.
Cucumbers should receive frequent
shallow cultivation until the vines be-
gin to run freely; after this very little
cultivation is required. They are ready
for use as soon as large enough, and
no fruit should be allowed to ripen on
the vines. 1t is advisable to spray
cucumbers with Bordeaux mixture, as
they are quite liable to be injured by
diseases.
For a full discussion Of insects and
diseases affecting cucumbers and rem
edies for them, see Farmers Bulletin
1856. entitled Control Of Disease and
Insect Enemies of the Home Vegetable
Garden"
The Elbert County tribune., 1918-04-12
LATE CABBAGE.

Late cabbage Is usually grown us a
crop following early potatoes. peas or
some other crop that leaves the ground
free for about one-half the growing
season. The plants may be grown In
the seedbed, 1t being necessary to SOW
the seed some three or four weeks
before 1t is desired to set them in po-
sition In the garden. 1t Is an excel
lent plan to follow early potatoes with
late cabbage, as none of the insects
that affect early potatoes are liable
to molest the late cabbage, and 1t is
possible to set the plants between the
potato rows some two or three weeks
before the potatoes are dug In this
manner sufficient time is gained to
permit the cabbage to reach maturity
before hard freezing weather occurs
In the fall.
The rows should be about 3 feet
apart and the plants some feet
apart in the rows. Slight freezing
does not injure cabbage but 1t should
not be subjected to repeated freezing
and thawing. Late cabbage can be
stored by taking up plants and pack
Ing them closely together In trench,
placing frame of boards or poles
around the trench, some supports
across the top, and covering the whole
with straw or corn fodder. The heads
may be removed as needed and the
roots and stems left in position In the
trench. These will furnish an nbun-
dant supply of greens in early spring.
The Elbert County tribune., 1918-04-12
SWEET CORN.

Plant sweet corn about the time Of
the last killing frost In spring and
make 3 or successive plant
ings at intervals of two weeks.
From quarter pint to half pint
of seed is sufficient for hundred
foot row. Plant the seed in drills 8
feet apart and thin to single stalk
every 10 to IA inches, or plant 5 to
seeds in hills 8 feet apart each way,
and thin out to to stalks In
hill Cover the seeds about inches
deep. Cultivate frequently. taking
care to remove all suckers from around
the base of the stalks.
The Elbert County tribune., 1918-04-12
CELERY.

Celery seed should be sown In the
hotbed or window box about the time
of the last frosts in the spring. The
seed is very slow in terminating and
the plants are small and delicate.
They are improved by transplanting
Mt least twice.
Celery requires deep, rich, moist
soil with plenty of well-rotted manure
or fertilizer and frequent shallow cul-
tvation. In the garden. celery mny be
planted after some early crop, such as
lettuce, radishes or peas. As soon as
the plants attain considerable size the
leaves should be drawn together and
little soil compacted about the base
of the plant to hold It upright. II the
blanching is done with earth. care
should be taken that the hearts of the
plants do not become filled. Boards,
paper or other material may be used
for blanching, but earthing up Will pro-
duce the finest flavor.
Celery may be stored and kept for
winter use by placing 1t in old hotbeds,
and covering 1t with fodder or straw;
In trenches covered with coarse ma
nure or straw; in outdoor cellars; or
In the storage room In the basement
Celery will test the skill of the gar
dener about as severely as any crop he
may choose to grow, but no garden
product pays better for painstaking
care and effort than this crop.

cry, see Farmers Bulletin $40, ''The

TOMATOES.

The tomato is one of the most salts
factory of all the garden crops and one
that Is found In practically every vege-
table garden. No matter how small
the garden space available. 1t is always
advisable to have few tomato vines.
Tomatoes Will grow In almost any
good soil, but the soil should not be
TOO high In heterogeneous matter, as this
VIII cause the plants to go to vine,
rather than to fruit. The plants should
be started In the window box or In the
hotbed, some six weeks before time to
set them In the open. For best results
they should be transplanted at least
once. 1t Is possible to secure a crop
much sooner by carefully growing the
plants indoors In pots and transplant
Ing to the open ground as soon as con-
ditions permit. They should not be
set In the open until about two weeks
after the Inst killing frost. If set
sooner than this. they should In all
cases be protected from frost with a
muslin cover or with boxes covered
with glass or by other means.
The pot-grown plants are especially
desirable, as they may he brought to
the blooming period by the time 1t is
warm enough to plant them In the gar
den. If the plants are not to be
trained. but allowed to lie on the
ground. they should be set about feet
apart each way. If trained to single
stalk and tied to stakes or trellis,
they may be planted in rows 8 feet
apart and 1S inches apart in the row.
If to be used for table purposes only,
70 plants under good conditions will
supply the average family. If for can
ming, from so to 100 plants will be nee
essary. One hundred plants should
supply sufficient tomatoes for present
use, and enough to can ut least 10O
quarts.

The women In the farm homes of this
country may greatly supplement the
food supply of the nation by rails

this year. Every fowl and every dozen
eggs raised and consumed on the farm

In this. event, political fac tors would be far more likely to bring about rapid ending of the war than the most effective military pressure that the allies can reason ably expect to develop within the next 12 months. In other words if the war is to be won by a decisive military victory over the German armies in the field, the allies, even with American aid, can hardly ex- pect to have the necessary over whelming superiority over the enemy much before 1920. This is not par ticularly pleasant fact to face, but the allies have done their cause far mare harm by enthusiastically under estimating the enemy's strength than by undue pessimism. And the American people will be wise to real

LOOKS, LIKE A LONG WAR

Because most competent military authorities have agreed that the pres ent campaign will prove the decisive struggle of the war, a large part of the public seems to have jumped to the conclusion that If the Germans fail in their offensive peace must soon follow. This is by no means a logical deduction, nor is it Justified by the past history of warfare The battle of Gettysburg was probably the decisive battle of the Civil war, but the struggle dragged on for a long time after Lees disastrous de- feat. So it is likely enough that if the Germans fail to reach decision in the present campaign they will be able to hold out on the defensive for many long months by successive ly shortening their lines, and slowly

BIG CROPS PROMISED

Wheat, rye and rice in our govern. ment forecast show total produc- tion of 1,O15,000,O00 bushels. This is N34.5 per cent more than last year Corn, oats and barley, which may now be, as semi-bread food, indi- cate 4,827 100000 bushels. These are six principal food and feed cereals, together with white and yellow DO tatoes, aggregating 6,340, 100000 bush. els. Here is an indicated yield 21 per cent greater than what was har. vescted last year.
 Hot, dry weather in June cut the wheat prospect somewhat. The de. partment now figures on but 891,. 000.000 bushels. This is a more dras- tic reduction than private experts are willing to concede Final har- vest returns will probably go above this estimate unless some unforeseen calamity should befall the spring wheat. Barley and rye, important

bread crops, promise bumper yields

bread crops, promise bumper yields also.
 The yield per acre for corn de- bends largely upon the weather dur ing the blossoming period in July and August. The condition reported is 3.5 points higher than the 10 year average, and better than it was in 1912 when it averaged 29.2 bushels to the acre. The forecast of 2,160,- 100000 bushels, therefore, seems well founded, assuming of course that the weather of the next two months will be normal With this crop prospect realized the United States will be in position to do more thaf last year in feeding the world
 Canada can also do more. It was in 1915 that Canada produced 4OO,- 000,000 bushels of wheat and the United States 1,O25,000,000 The two following crops were small in com parison. Now there is practically no surplus wheat in either country. But Canada now has 15,500000 acres in wheat. In 1915 the average yield was 26.05 bushels per acre and it's 2 year average is 18.42 Dry weather in June caused some heading on short straw. but if the rains of last week are not too late a good crop may be gathered. In spite of the dry. weather of the past weeks, some railroad authorities, whose opinions are worth as much as most crop ex- perts, declare the yield will average 22 bushels per acre If this is real ized Canada will gather her second largest crop this year.
 Foreign crop accounts are favor able. This is particularly true in Britain, France and Italy, where there has been considerable improve. Inent in the wheat and other crops. Algeria and Morocco will have some wheat for France, while England is now receiving grain from Argentina. The reports coming from India, Aus tralia and Argentina are favorable, and indicate that record areas will be sown to wheat for the 1918-19 crop.
 So far as production is concerned, the world food problem is far more encouraging today than at any time in the past three years.-Wall Street Journal.
