NOT FIRST I'm
GERMANY
BY Leroy Huron Kelsey E
of The Nigilantes

The blatant claim is often made,
with brazen arrogance,
That German wisdom and research
has made the world advance;
But when we start to itemize the
things of greatest worth,
That benefit and comfort bring to
people OF the earth,
We do not find them emanating
from Teutonic brains.
Although they quickly utilize what
e'er another gains.
The telegraph, the telephone, the
p engine run by steam
Acetylene and kerosene, electric
lights that gleam;
The ocean cable, and the wireless,
and the phonograph;
The motion picture, and in fact the
common photograph
Al. these would still be hidden from
the races OF mankind,
Ii their disclosure had depended OH
wv NiNl man ilIIIlh
The telescope, the microscope, the
antiseptic gauze;
The anaesthetic for relief Of pain
from any cause;
The principle OF vaccination to pre-
vent disease
The decimal and metric system,
which we use with easel
All these were given to the world by
nations now at war
Against Teutonic doctrines, which
we heartily abhor.
Our aniline for dyeing, and our
rubber vulcanized;
Our automobiles and pianos. both
so highly priced;
Electric cars and air-brakes, and the
soft pneumatic tire;
The plate-glass in our windows and
our fences of barbed wire;
All these were ne'er discovered in
the land of braggard Hun
Although they try to fool us as to
what they've really done.
Machines for reaping harvest and
machines for threshing grain;
The cotton-gin, the submarine, the
birdike aeroplane;
Machines for sewing clothing, and
machines to count our cash;
Machines to write our letters, all so
neatly, in a flash
These also might have never come
to bless the human race,
If other folks had waited for the
Huns to set the pace.
Fen implements OF warfare are not
born OF Prussian hands,
But they employ inventions that
have come from other lands;
Percussion caps, torpedoes, smoke
less powder, dynamite, =.
And nitroglycerine or shrapnei' al
deadly in fight;
The rifle or revolver or the quick
breech-loading gun,
While widely used, were no OF then
invented by Hun.
The Germans are mechanics, and arr
skilful in that line;
They copy someone elses work. an'
often do it fine,
Ruf when it comes to dong thlng
that never had been done,
They simply are not in it, and nj
laurels have they won;
They talk of German "kultur an'
they boast and strut about
But vet their big achievements arr
their pretzels, beer and kraut'

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FOR THE WAR GARDEN AMI

main part of the crop to develop to
maturity.
In the central portion of the United
states, the late crop may be planted
from June Is to July 1, but in the
northern sections the main crop is
planted earlier than this. no attempt
being made to produce early and late
potatoes, as in many sections the grow
ing season is too short for the produc-
tfon of but one crop. Late potatoes are
allowed to grow until they mature or
until the frost kills the vines. The
cultivation of the late crop is similar
to that employed in the case Of the
early crop.
How to Grow Peas.
Early peas require a rather rich sandy
loan with good drainage in order that
the first paintings may be made early
in the spring Fertilizers that are high
applied to the land imme ediately before
planting, as they will have a tendency
to produce too great growth of vines at
the expense of pods. Land that has
been manured the previous year will
be found satisfactory without addi-
tional fertilizer. While the sandy loan
is to be preferred for early varieties. a
good crop can be produced on almost
any good soil.
The first paintings should be of such
modihcations, which make a small but
quick growth, and may or may not be
provided with supports. These should
be planted about two weeks before the
date of the last killing frost. or in fact
may be planted as soon as the ground
is in condition. The tall-growing sorts
or the telephone type are desira BILE for
still later use. on account of their large
production and excellent quality.
Peas should be drilled in rows, one
1nf har .f~ e. M
foot row. The individual peas should
be placed about one inch apart in the
rows. The distance between rows will
depend upon the kind of cultivation
TO be employed. and upon the varieties
used. The dwarf varieties need not be
any farther apart than necessary to
insure cultivation, while the talI-grow-
ing sorts should not be planted closer
than three to three and one-half feet
apart.
a good scheme is to plant two par
allel rows of peas about six or eight
inches apart, then leave q space of
eighteen inches or two feet and plant
two more rows of seed close together.
Fewer strings or less brush will be
required to support them than when
planted in single rows at the greater
distances.
If peas are to be grown for immedi-
ate use only. a quart will be enough
to plant at one time However, if it
is desired to grow peas for canning,
large paintings should be made. If
space is available it is an excellent
plan to make considerable planting at
one time of some one variety, so that
the peas for canning will be available
in considerable quantities. This en-
ables the housewife to get the canning
out of the way in a comparatively
short time. Successive planting of the
various varieties of peas should be
made at intervals of about two weeks,
until the weather begins to grow
Earm. when the paintings should be
discontinued. 1t is possible in some
sections to grow a fall crop of peas.
When this is done, early varieties
should be used.

or the seed will be formed at the ex-
pense of the bulbs.
How to Grow Radishes.
The radish is quite hardy and may
be grown throughout the winter in the
middle section of the United States. In
many portions of the south it is pos
sible to grow it in the open ground
throughout the winter. For the home
garden the seed should be sown in the
open ground about the time of the last
killing frosts The seed should be sown
in drills at a convenient distance for
cultivation, usually about eighteen
inches. To be Of good quality, radishes
must be grown quickly in rich soil, and
be used as soon as of sufficient size
Successive paintings should be made
every few days until the weather be-
comes warm. They will not withstand
hot weather and are suited to early
spring and late autumn planting.
There are autumn varieties of radish-
es which may be grown late in the sea-
son and stored for winter use the same
as beets or turnips. A few of these
Will add variety to the winter supply
of vegetables.
How to Grow Potatoes.
The culture of the Irish potato is IA
miliar to almost every one who has
ever had a garden. In brief, the pota-
toes should be planted as soon as the
ground can be worked in spring, two
weeks before the average date of the
last killing frost being none too early
The tubers should be cut so that each
piece contains from one to two eyes,
and the pieces planted in rows from
twenty-four to thirty inches apart, and
from ten to fifteen inches apart in the
rows, depending on the variety. Gull
tivation should be frequent and
thorough. 1t is an excellent idea to
work soil up to the plants as they de-
velop. SO that there will be plenty of
soil to cover the potatoes as they
form.
Early potatoes in the central and
southern sections of the country will
mature in sufficient time for the
gardener to grow a crop of sweet corn,
late cabbage or turnips on the same
groun6A 1t is often possible to plant
the second crop between the potato
rows before the potatoes are dug
Early potatoes may be used as soon
as large enough. an old rule being to
begin using them when they are as
large as hens egg. The usual method
is to dig them as needed. leaving the

Experts of the Department OF Agri-
culture have prepared a series of short
articles telling amateur home garden
ers, as well as those of more extensive
experience, just how to plant and cul-
tivate practically all of the vegetables
produced in the home garden. The in
structions are written so simply as t.
be readily understood even by the man
who has never planted even a bed of
radishes before, and by following the
instructions good crops of home grown
garden sass may be produced in any
back yard garden.
The first of these condensed cultural
directions, on peas, potatoes, radishes
and onions, are printed herewith, and
directions for growing other garden
vegetables will be given as the garden
ing season advances and time ap-
p.oaches for planting or sowing those
vegetables that require the warmth of
growth.
How to Grow Onions.
Onions can be produced on almost any
good garden soil. and constitute one of
the standard crops found in almost ev-
cry garden. The usual plan in the
home garden Is to plant sets in rows
far enough apart to suit the method of
cultivation to be followed. The sets
need not be more than two or three
inches apart in the rows.
Onion sets may be planted as soon as
the ground can be worked and before
frosts are over. Some kinds may be
planted in the autumn. The potato or
multiplier onion can be planted from
sets in the autumn and will produce ex-
cellent early green onions.
Onions may be grown from seed
either by starting the seed in the hot
bed and transplanting to the open
ground or by drilling in rows directly
i'll the garden. With good soil and
proper care it is possible to produce
good-sized bulbs from seed in single
season.
Onions require frequent shallow cul-
tivation. and it may be necessary to re-
sort to hand work in order to keep the
crop free from weeds.
If it is desired to use the onions as
green or bunch onions they may be
pulled at any time after they are large
enough. otherwise they should be al
lowed to grow until they reach matur-
ity. If the onions start to throw up
seed stalks these should be removed
