SOIL FOR SEED BED.

III YOU want to have tender, Juicy
vegetables this summer, prepare the
soil properly before you plant the
seeds. Vegetables must have a loose
fertile soil well pulverized that their
roots can easily get plant food and
thus develop rapidly during the grow
ing season. A poorly prepared seed
bed produces stunted, tough III
favored vegetables. The garden that
has not had proper soil preparation
before planting requires much more
work in the upkeep than does the
properly prepared garden. Even So
a poorly prepared seed bed can never
be made right after planting, so pre-
pare the coil properly before the
seeds are planted.
III the garden is to be plowed re-
move all the trash--stones, sticks.
etc. and distribute the fertilizer
evenly. IL the garden is not to be
plowed, spading will prepare the soil
satisfactorily. Spadlng should be
done thoroughly, and deep enough to
make good seed bed. Spading
alone Is scarcely enough preparation
The soil should be finely pulversed

use Of rake. IL should be uniform
and free from Jumps. The smaller
the seeds the finer the seed bed must
be. thus all vegetable seeds require
we'll prepared seed bed and fine uni
/ form soil
Unless your garden is in very wet
| place that needs drainage do not
raise the seed bed. The raised seed
beds allow the soil TO dry out and this
ia usually undesirable, especially when
the vegetables are growing fast and
need plenty or moisture.
The proper preparation OF the soil
does not require an excessive amount
! OF work. II lessons the work necesa
sary for the upkeep OF the garden
when the plants are growing and Il
aids in the production OF tender and
Juicy vegetables.

plan to be used as county system
for the clearing house OF the various

understanding between people doing

of effort now existing.
Individuals and organizations can
be furnished information, plans OF

to an address delivered by j. w.
Brinton at Kuhn on May 2. Bolstad
was in Brinton's employ when Brln-
ton ran a newspaper at Beacn, al
though the government did not orlng
out this fact on the stand. he de-
clared that Brinton, in addressing
Consumers store certificate holders
at Kuhn, declared that the war had
boosted the DUPONT Powder COM
pany's profits $78,000,000 in one
year and that was why I'VE nave to
buv so many more bonds and War

years old and is a registrant.
Emil Anderson Of the mercantile
firm of Anderson Bros. Of Kuhn, also
testified as to the Brinton meeting
there, when Brinton described the
"ToWnley" brands Of soup, canned
corn and other products which the
Consumers United Stores company
intended to put on the market. he
testified that Brinton told MS

James Foley, a farmer residing nVe
miles from Garrison, told OF Brln-
tons alleged statement there that we
had to buy Liberty bonds because
the government is paying all its
money to the steel trust" which
Brinton stated had boosted the price
Of steel after the beginning OF the
war from $29 to 1872. Foley had
made no notes Of the meeting, but he
was quite positive that Brtnton had
said "all the money" and he refused
to be shaken on ss-exam1natlon.
Judge Amidon asked Foley whether
he had participated in the recent pr1-

he had not. He stated he just

yond any question that the Germans

There you have the difference De-

has been almost necessary at times
to chain the "Buddies" or ''Sammtes

From all sides you hear stories OF

the stories Of the prowess, courage

German prisoners captured at the
American front are sore" Some OF
the crack German divisions were
picked for the lesson to be taught the
Americans. They were not merely
decimated, rather wiped out.
The Americans have used artillery
machine guns and light field pieces in
manner that is almost beyond the
conceptions Of the enemy. Weapons
and ammunition have not been
spared, because to paraphrase OLD

Uncle Sam will provide" and they
know supplies will be kept up.
