HOME GARDEN NOTES FOR MARCH

HOME GARDEN NOTES FOX MAhCH'
Leonard G Heron. Elk Horticulturist. A Il M
College Mississippi
March is aplanting month for
the gardener. Plants of Brussels
sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage
may still be set during early
March. English peas, turnips,
beets, spinach, onions, (sets), car
rots. radishes. lettuce, parsley,
mustard, and Irish potatoes should
all be planted during the first days
of March if paintings have not al
ready been made.
Second and third paintings of En-
glish peas, lettuce and radishes can
be made during middle and late
March, respectively. A second plan
ting of beets and mustard may be
made during the last days of March.
Don't forget to establish the plan
tings of asparagus and Strawberries
this month. They both help the
cook to solve her problems on wheat
less and meatless days, and few per-
sons OBJECT to dish OF either.
If horse labor can be secured and
the garden is not extremely small,
make the rows far enough apart to
allow the use of horse tools. This
makes the labor of gardening much
easier.
Use plenty of seeds. Thin stands
are always disappointment; thick
stands are easily thinned. Where
the seeds are thick they help each
other to push out of the ground.
Rather shallow planting is desirable
in early spring while the moisture is
plentiful.
A small amount of well rotted ma
nure will help the garden at this
time if worked into the top soil, The
droppings from the chicken house
are fine to push the plants along af-
ter they come up. Use the drop
pings as a top dressing scattering
them along over the row or to each
side of the plants. 1t is especially
good for leaf crops like lettuce and
mustard.
The tomato, elephants and pepper
plants started last month will need
transplanting at least once. III is

of leaves appear Transplant them

in your county papers.
The sweet potatoes for early plants
should be placed IN the hotbed March
first. Do not secure seeds from sec
lions of the country infested with
Sweet Potato Weevil. This insect
is a very serious pest and has been
found in several counties in extreme
South Mississippi.
Secure a supply Of arsenate of lead
at once for controlling the potato
beetle and other garden insects. A
supply of nicotine suiphate should be
secured for controlling plant lice.

MAKING A MAN OF THE BOY
Schoolmaster Has the Great Task IN
Hand, and on Him Depends the
Final important Outcome.

The sum of all admonitions is that
the schoolboy must pay attention. That
Is precisely what he is doing, writes
8. M. Crothers, In the Atlantic. He Is
paying attention to variety of things
that escape the adult mind. As he
wriggles on the bench in the school,
room he pays attention to all that Is
going on. He attends to what is going
on out-of-doors; he sees the weak
points Of his fellow pupils against
whom he is planning punitive expedi-
lions; and he is delightfully."- conscious
Of the idiosyncrasics Of the teacher.
Moreover, he Is youthful artist and
his sketches from life give acute JOY
to his contemporaries when they are
furtively passed around.
But the schoolmaster says sternly !:
my boy. you must learn to pay atten-
ton; that is to say, you must not pay
attention to so many things. but you
must pay attention to one thing, name
ly the second declension."
Now the second declension Is the
least interesting thing in the room.
but unless he confines his attention to
1t he will never learn It. Education
demands narrowing of attention In the
interest Of efficiency.
A man may, by dint Of application
to a particular subject, become sue
cessful merchant or real estate man or
chemist or overseer Of the poor. But
he cannot be all these things at the
same time. He must make his choice.
Having in the presence Of witnesses
taken himself for better or for worse,
he must, forsaking all others, cleave
to that alone. The consequence is
that by the time he is forty he has
become one kind Of a man and is able
to do one kind Of work.

subject of Observation-Disclosures and fit

On returning home to dinner one
evening, the professor was met at the

woman, little poutfuily, "that you

hat and gloves. "Surely you must be

SIS that so?" rejoined the professor,
with thoughtful expression. '"Then

HAS CHURCH BUILT ON PIER
IIfrancombe, England, Possesses His
torio Edifice, Where TIE Sailors Of
fered Prayer Before 0elng to Sea.

nfrancombe. England, has a church
on a pier, and is the only seaside
place In the world that has such
distinction. Indeed, Ilfrancombe would
not possess the honor were 1t not for
the fact that LANTERN Hin forms a
part of the pier. Those who argue
about the matter are always silenced
by the plea that you have to go on the
the pier in order to enter the church.
observes q writer.
The curious old building to be seen
on the top of the hill has had many
strange adventures. 1t is dedicated to
st. Nicholas, the patron saint Of sea-
faring folk, and In that connection II
is interesting to learn that at one time
the old church was used as a light
house. In bygone days the sailors
used to trudge up the hill to pray be
fore going to sea, and many were the
regrets when the little edifice ceaset
to hold its services. 1t is now used By
the pier authorities for storing pur
poses, but the day may come when i
will be restored, and form one Of mani
attractive sights" nfrancombe al
ready possesses.

A machine for tunneling the English
Channel in 35 days has been brought
to the attention of the British govern
ment by Mr.. John X. Hencken, civil
engineer of New York, who states that
he has official approval Of his scheme.
The scheme contemplates boring four
tunnels by means Of eight machines
that will cut through earth and ROCK
at the rate of 100 feet per hour, and
provides not only for trackway In
each tunnel, but a driveway, along
with motor-lorries could be driven
from England to the supply bases In
France. Mr.. Hencken asserts that ne
