WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Something That Appeals to Every
Man, Woman and Child Who
Wishes to Win the War.

'"at appeals to Every
MAN, woman and Child Who
Wishes to Win the War.
AT War Savings Rally in New York
recently, Hon. Elihu Root delivered
an address. What he said there ia
just as applicable here, and this is
what he said in part:
You can begin saving by the dol
lar, or you can begin saving by the
quarter. You can see how this works
You kill four birds with one stone.
winch is an example of Workmanship
tnat l would like to see applied all
along the German trenches. The first
and perhaps the most important is
this, that you save by not using, and
what you don't use is left for the Gov
eminent to use for our men. Every
yard OF cloth less that you use in your
apparel is yard of cloth more to put
into uniforms and blankets Every
pair OF soehs less than you wear, is a
pair of shoes for one of our men to
stand in the trenches with. And it is
most amazing the way in which a vast
number of small contributors mount
up.
1.-The second bird is that you turn
your Csc, your $412, over to the Gov.
eminent, and the Government has the
money to use in winning the war, has
it until after the war is all over. It
has the money to buy steel, to make
powder, to make rifles, to make shoes.
to make steamships, to do all the vast
multitude of things necessary to be
done to win this war.
The third bird is that when the war
iS hoc
ductlOn OF wealth has recommended.
we are all prosperous again, victorious
and prosperous America, sailing the
sea with our commerce unhindered by
arrogant attempts at superiority to
prevail, then the Government will pay
to you the money that you have
thrown away in the meantime, and
you will have it.
The fourth bird is that you will be
better people. You have laid the foun-
dation for the restoration of a virtue
that should obtain in all democracies,
in all republics. You will have wiped
off from the great surface of our Ma
tional Record the reproach of being
Wasteful, extravagant, money-loving,
luxury-loving people and you will make
yourselves, by that exercise of the vir-
tue of thrift, and you will make your
children, more like those great and
noble men who founded our republic,
and through their privations and sacri-
fees gave us the liberty and the JUS
tice that we have"

Parsnips are hardy and can be left

cult to get them out when the ground

Farmers make permanent frost
proof cellars Of various kinds, where
fruits and vegetables are safely stored
through the winter until wanted for
market or table use. but the average
gardener has neither room nor re-
quirements for a permenant place of
this kind and is obliged to use a make

In selecting vegetables for storage,

TEST THE SOIL.

1t is a comparatively simple and
interesting matter to test the soil OF

called the Simplex Soil Testing Ma
chine enables gardeners and farmers

acty what it needs.

needs lime. Ordinarily the quantity
supplied Is guesswork. II too much
is applied there is waste; II too little
there is also waste, as n larger appli-
cation would increase the crops out
of proportion to the additional amount
required. The soil tester shows the
exact amount needed.
Soils in various fields and parts OF
the farm and garden vary. Some may
rot be acid and therefore require no
lime; whatever might be applied
would be wasted. Some spots will re-
quire applications at the rate OF a
ton to the acre. others only half the
quantity. so the machine will save
its cost over and over At the same
time the farmer or gardener Will have
tho satisfaction of knowing that his
soil is In proper condition. 50 far as
freedom from acidity is concerned.

FAILURE OF RASPBERRIES.

There has been some complaint from
amateur gardeners regarding the poor
crop OF rsspberries this season.
Easpberries require ample mois-
ture, particularly from April to July.
During the spring we usually have
sufficient rain, but the plants are like

ing June and July, when the plants
should be well soaked several times
a week.

a mulch Of stable manure spread
out over the roots OF the plants in the

Bone meal and commercial fertilizer
should also be given.

the plants have finished fruiting and

A SUCCESSFUL FERN BED.

II there is a more difficult location
for a flower bed than a corner Of a
house, completely shaded on the east

It can be.
The soil in this particular bed was
red clay, thrown out when the exca-
walton was made for the cellar. that

more rocks than soil. A little work
daily in the bed for a couple of weeks

suited in removing many Of the stones
and supposedly loosened up the soil
to a depth of couple of feet. Manure
was worked into the soil and a bed
made of the plants usually recon-
mended for shady places. but without
satisfactory results. For two or three
years different things were tried but
only resulted in failure. Lime, ashes
and fertilizer were used
Finally as a last resort we asked
the Garden Department of TIVE Sun
for advice. We were advised to spread
natural a.phano humus heavily over
the surface OF the bed and work II in
woods and country roadsides and dig

The advice was followed.
The bed was msdn as directed with
a half dozen or more varieties Of ferns

well from the start.
At the beginning OF this season we
saved the clippings from the lawn
and stored them in barrel left ex-
posed to the weather. When this mass
of grass had decayed it was spread
over the soil Of the fern bed to a
depth of about three inches. care being
taken to get 1t up closely around the
plants.
The bed Is watered as often as neces-
sary to keep the soil moist. The grass
clippings allow the water to wash

applied and then prevent rapid evap-

LEVEL CULTIVATION BEST FOR
CORN.

THE Sun has long maintained that
level cultivation for corn was better
than the killing system. The Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station says:
'Cultivating corn level. not ridging
or killing soil around the stalks. saves
moisture and adds few more bushels
10 the yield. Ridging exposes a
greater surface from which soil mois-
ture can evaporate. and at the same
time corn roots are cut off by the Gull
tivator.
Weeds can be killed and an effect
i've surface mulch to hold in moisture
can be maintained by level cultivation.
Killing corn requires deep cultivation
TO bring soil from the middle Of the
row up to the stalks. Such deep Gull
tlvation cuts Off many roots. Yields
were reduced four bushels to the acre
by such practice in our tests"

the gardens of this country.
Natural crosses which produce hand
somer flowers than the parents occa-
s!onally occur among trees and shrubs
with conspicuous blossoms. The crab
apple called Malus Arnoldiana is an
example. This tree appeared in the
arboretum several years ago among
seedlings of Malus floribunda. but the
flowers are more than one-half larger
than those OF the older tree and the
fruits are larger too.
Even among plants OF the same spe-
cies decided individual characteristic
may be developed. Close to the ad-
ministration building there is a large
f'orbunda crab which holds its fruits
much longer than any other specimens
of this tree in the grounds. 1t is a
characteristic which pleases the birds,
for they feed on the fruit until spring.
