DEVOTE STUDY TO GARDEN
Properly Planted Land Of Value Both
to the Owner and to the
Community.

1t is a wise course to plan food pro-
duction in a systematic way SO that
the garden will give satisfactory re-
suits. Study methods Of cultivation
on all products. When buying onion
sets, for example, see If there are
not other food crops which are better
procured in a state of growth than in
seeds. All gardens need horseradish
and rhubarb, which are best started
from roots, and these can be bought
from almost any dealer. Rhubarb
will thrive in any odd bit Of ground.
1t will be ready for use the second
year. 1t is a valuable crop as well
as being hardy and prolific.
H~orseradish also is commonly grown
from roots or sets and not from seed.
Some claim they have the best sue
cess growing it after the early cab
bage, beets, etc. The crop is dug in
the fall, the small roots being removed
and cut into sets four to six inches
long. The top end is cut square and
the bottom slanting so there will be
no mistake in planting. These are
tied in bundles and kept over winter
in sand. When planting time comes
small holes are made with a light
crowbar or long stick and the sets
dropped in and covered two or three
inches deep so that they do not come
up until midsummer. Any deep, rich,
well-drained soil will answer for horse
radish.

vent the landing of large forces in France. But
by Its foul methods of warfare 1t has already
sunk many millions of tons of ships. Not only
has that world loss to be more than made up, but
we have to provide a large further tonnage to
keep on sending our soldiers abroad and sup
plying them adequately. We have the unprece-
denied job of not only feeding our own army but
other armies and other populations also.
But the ships required for those purposes are
only a part of what we need. Later on those ships
Will be necessary In bringing back our victorious
soldiers from Europe. But at present and for
some time to come the movement is one of full
ships to Europe and fairly empty ones back.
The United States is now the great reservoir
from which supplies must be drawn. The enor-
nous gain In our exports shows how other ma
tons are increasingly looking to us to sustain
them.
Although our exports may occasionally decline.
still on the whole there is every probability of
their increasing, not only during the war but
after the war. Large areas of Europe are depop-
ulated and devastated. Many of the rich wheat
growing sections including almost all of the win
ter-wheat producing areas of Russia, are in the
Germans possession. Conditions in Russia are
Chaotic. The western European allies produced
In 1917 about 222.000,0Oo bushels less than the an
nual pre-war average. There was a great drop
also In the wheat production of other European
countries. Argentina. Australia and India are
producing good crops. But there is no shipping
to move It properly.
While the war is on there is a big enough de-
mand from our allies in Europe for materials of
all kinds. We have to supply coal, steel. oil, cot
ton. lumber. rails, locomotives and a great guam
tty of other products. After the war when the
job of rehabilitating Europe is put through, the
demand upon this country for raw and manufac-
tured material Of all kinds will be enormous. We
shall also have. to replenish the depleted herds of
Europe from our own cattle. Ours. In fact, will
be the task of supplying most of the world.
So II is clear that besides the millions Of tons of
shipping urgently needed for the army and navy,
we shall need a great permanent merchant ma
rine. In 1914 only S168.000,O00 of the more than
$2.000,00O.000 of our exports was carried in Ameri-
can vessels. Even now n great part of the cargo
and passenger ships we are using are seized enemy
vessels or requisitioned or chartered allied or
neutral vessels.
Not only on the Atlantic but on all oceans we
must have an abundance Of American ships.
Since the opening Of the Panama canal, the At
lantic and Pacific oceans have been linked by the
short route.

plantations have one advantage in

When you have finished a building, or
any other undertaking of the like ma
ture, it Immediately decays upon your

that time Fastening to its ruin. On
the contrary, when you have finished
your plantations they are still arriving

not only recommend this art to men Of

HINT FOR LATE GARDENER
How Loss Of Seeding Plants Through
"Damping Of" May Be Avoided
With Little Trouble,

Many millions of Seeding plants are
lost annually by what is generally
termed "damping off," 1t may be OBJ
served in the sudden collapse of the
little plants at the neck or ground
level, and usually occurs while the
seedlings are still in the seed pan,
though it also may happen wen after
they have been transplanted. 1t is
due to the work of a minute fungus,
and brought about by excessive mois-
ture in the soil or atmosphere, a condi-
ton the fungus quickly takes advant-
age of to get in its deadly work.
To prevent such conditions, the soil
must be sufficiently porous so hat wa
ter will soak into 1t quickly. Water is
given only when needful, and so early
in the day that the foliage of all tender
seedlings will be thoroughly dry before
night; ventilation to keep the air pure
also will tend to ward off disease.
"Damping off" also may be checked
by placing a thin layer of sharp sand
over the surface Of the soil, or a light
busting of flowers of sulphur also may
combat the evil.
Guard against sowing seed too thick
ly, for, should the majority terminate,
the seedlings will be so close to n
another that they will moi dry out
readily.-Country Gentleman.

We need ample ships on the Pacific to
serve China, Japan, the Philippines,
Russia and Australia. All of these countries as
well as Central and South America, have materials
or products which we need just as they need ours.
Australia recently had a surplus stated to be
300,000,000 bushels of wheat and another big sur
plus in process of gathering. There was enough.
In fact, to feed England and France for a year.
But 1t was of no practical use to the allies. There
were no vessels to be spared for the long haul
which takes eight or ten weeks from Australia to
England.
Last year there was a surplus in Java of 1,ooo.-
600 tons of sugar which other parts of the world
needing badly could not get because of lack of
ships.
Great heaps of coffee were spelling on the East
Indian wharves. There was no shipping to move
Ii to other countries.
Pyrites, which was badly needed here, could not
be brought from Spain because of the want of
ships.
These are but a few examples of what a ship
famine means.
Besides the many millions of tons of shipping
needed for the purposes already described, there
is also the pressing necessity for multiplying
the number of ships, tugs and barges for domes-
tic coastwise. lake and inland waterway trans
portation. These are of the most vital impor.
lance to the farmer. Our inland, lake and coast
waterways can be used to transport vast guam
titles of wheat and other products. and freight
of all kinds can be sent back on the return
trip. This transportation will be cheaper to
