GROW A GARDEN

From the nations of the world
comes the earnest plea, More Food"
and especially does it come from the
United States, which faces the gi-
gantic problem of feeding itself.
Farmers are called upon to grow max
imum crops and they have been shown
utmost consideration by the nation
IN the op~eration~of the %selectiye draft,
since farm help has been placed on
the deferred list.
The home garden is advocated
throughout the country. It ~comeS
with a double-barreled plea, a plea
to help lower the cost of living and
the broader one, the patriotic request
that the food supply be increased as
an aid to more successfully %prosecut-
ing the world war.
A year gO,when the call for home
gardens was not so urgent, thousands
of people who had never gardened re-
sorted to this wholesome pastime and
found it highly profitable in that it
meant an ~appreciable saving in gro
Gerry bills. Hendersonville has many
enthusiastic new gardeners who now
boast of products in their possession
useful and yet unused by reason of an
abundant supply produced by their
gardens last year.
In its Garden Number" this week
the Hustler is giving considerable USE
full information for gardeners from
those attached to the agricultural de-
partment of the government who
have made a speciality of this work.
We would urge a careful study of
this material by farmers and towns
people as an aid in the f~urtherance
of the home gardening undertaking.
A home garden will mean patriotic
duty by the people at home in an eff
fort to help feed the allied nations at
a The home garden will give
wholesome exercise and turn other
wise idle moments into a money-pro-
ducing crop. The home garden will
materially reduce the grocery bill.
Try a garden. You W it to YOUR
nation If not to yourself.

Garden SPACE Valuable.

Just what vegetables are to be grown
depends, Of course, upon the individual
tastes Of the family. In general, the
aim of the home gardener should be
to raise vegetables in which freshness
is an important quality. Peas, string
beans, Lima beans, asparagus and
sweet corn, for example, lose much if
they are not cooked almost immedi-
ately after they are picked. In the
case Of potatoes, corn, cucumbers,
'~squasheS and melons, it should be re-
membered that these vegetables occu-
py a large are in proportion to their
yield and in a small garden consume
valuable space which, in most cases,
could be used more profitably. In the
cas- of potatoes, however, it also
should be noted that they are easily
stored and. are an extremely good
staple crop, and many gardeners will
find it to advantage to plant as much
ground to potatoes as possible after
sufficient space has been allotted to
the other garden crops.

HENDERSONVILLE PEOPLE
PUBLICLY co TO GOD
ABOUT EUROPEAN WAR

Feeling that there was a spiritual
significance in the fact that the great
est agony of the war was being en-
dured during the week historically as
ISOLATED with the Savior's suffering,
the rector and congregation of ST..
James Episcopal church of Hender-
sonvllle arranged for continuous
prayer for the cause of the allies.
The hours of each day between
1880 a. m, and 6 p. m. were divided
into watches of a half hour each, and
these assigned to individuals in the
parish who volunteered for this duty,
SO that at no time would there fail to
be someone in the church at PRAYER
E2cur services are held daily but in
the main those who enter the church
offer silent prayer in their own words.
Response to the plan was made by
the people Of all faiths.
It is the hope Of those arranging
these services that this humble meth
cd of serving the soldiers and allies
will spread throughout the country,
at least for the period of the present
drive.

HOWD9aGROW
NJ Garden PEAS. I'D

Early peas require a rather r1ch
sandy loan with good drainage in or
der that the first paintings may be
made early in the spring. Fertilizers
that are high in nitrogenous matter
should not be applied to the land I'M
mediately before planting, as they Will
have a tendency to produce too great
growth of vines at the expense or
pods. Land that has been MANFRED
the previous year will be found salts
factory without additional fertilizer.
While the sandy loan is to be pre-
ferred for early varieties, a good crop
can be produced on almost any good
SOIL
h first paintings should be Of such
varieties as Alaska, o. some of it's
notifications, 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
Of the Telephone type are desirable
for still later use, on account OF their
large production and excellent quality.
Peas should be drilled in rows, M
to two pints being sufficient for a 100
foot row. The individual peas should
be placed about l inch apart in the
rows. The distance between Ows will
depend upon the kind of cultivation
to be employed, and upon the varieties
.r-o5 TIao lu-n YE -vo ~; Otsoc- mad not Hn
any farther apart than necessary to
insure cultivation, while the tall-grOw-
ing sorts should not be planted closer
than 8 to so feet apart.
A good scheme is to plant two par
alle1 rows Of peas about 6 or s inches
apart, then leave a space of Is inches
or two feet and plant two more rows
of seed close together. Fewer strings
or less brush will be required to sup
port them than when planted in single
rows at the greater distance.
If peas are to be grow / 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 pl, I to
make considerable planting at on time
Of some one variety, so that ne peas
for canning will be available in con-
siderable quantities. This enables the
housewife to get the canning out of
the way in a comparatively short time.
Successive paintings Of the various va
rieties of peas should be made at in
tervals Of about two weeks, until the
weather begins to grow warm, 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.

At
HALF PRICE
TO SOLDIERS

w. S. Wilson, secretary OF North
Carolina Council of Defense after Wis
ting army camps returned and in a
public letter made three sensible sug-
gestions, the first of which follows:
First, send your home paper to
at least one soldier at the camp.
Pick out one of the men you know
and subscribe for your home Pc
per and send it to him. Any menu
Der of his family will give you his
correct address. Write him a let :
ter and tell him you are sending
il The cost will be trifling. The
thought will be appreciated. 1t
is not an act CT charity, but an
act Of patriotic service.
In order to do our bit we have de-
cided to offer the Hustler at half price
IS cents for six months Or 80 cents
for a year, to any Il wishing it sent
to a soldier.
This is a splendid way to do your
BIZ. Help us out in this effort to IN
tcrest the soldier boys who are max
ms a sacrifice for their country,
The Hustler publishes more Hcnder-
son county news than all other news
rapers combined therefore it is the
paper that Henderson county soldiers
want.

Kale is closely related to and pos.
sesses many of the characteristics of
cabbage. 1t is very hardy and may be
planted in the autumn in the entire
southern portion Of the United States.
It will thrive on any good soil and
responds readily to liberal applica-
tons Of stable manure.
Kale may be soyyn in drills or in
some cases may be soWn broadcast.
When soTn in drills a quarter ounce
Of seed is sufficient for a 100-foot
row.. Kale may be-soWA as soon as
the ground is in condition ITO work.
Successive paintings may be made at
intervals through the summer, but
pickings can be made from the first
planting during the entire season.
When planted in drills the plants may
be thinned as 0 as large enough,
using the ones removed for green's

THRIFT GARDENS
is LATEST MOVE

Thrift gardens for the boys and
girls under sixteen years of age, form
the latest move for industry and thrift
in Henderson county.
Sam 7. Hodges has agreed to slim
ulate thrift gardens by offering a
prize of $25, payable in Thrift
Stamps, to the boy or girl who Guilt
Yates a garden this summer and from
the proceeds of such purchases q larg-
er amount Of Thrift Stamps than any
other gardener.
I'll hoped that this prize will slim
ulate more gardening and result in
more abundant food crops in this
county and at the same time encour~
age the purchase of a great amount
of Thrift Stamps by the young peo-
pie. -
The committee in charge of the
thrift gardens is composed of Frank
Fleming, chairman; S. T. Hodges, j.
Mack Rhodes, S. Y. Bryson, E. G..
Stil1welI, G. S. Fullbright.

this work has prepared the following

U~.s~PEP'T. OF AGRICULTURE
w Onions. III

Onions can be produced on almost
any good garden soil, and constitute
one of the standard crops found in al
most every garden. The usual plan in
the home garden is to plant sets in
rows far enough apart to suit the meth
cd of cultivation to be followed. The
sets need not be more than 2 or 3
inches apart in the rows.
Onion sets may be planted as 500
as the ground can be worked and be-
fore 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
excellent early green onions.
Onions may be grown from seed Ell
Their by starting the seed in the hotbed
and transplanting to the open ground
or by drilling in rows directly in the
garden. With good soil and proper
care it is possible to produce good
sized bulbs from seed in a single sea-
son..
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,
or the seed will be formed at the ex-
pense of the bulbs.-U. S. Department

STREET DANCES

The proposed alluring and fascinat-
ing military street dance has found
further opposition from the churches,
the East Hendersonville Baptists and
the Presbyterians also registering
protest against this form of anuSe-
ment.
Last week the Hustler carried res
OlutiOnS from the Methodist and First
Baptist churches in strenuous opposi-
ton to the proposed form of enter
talnment of soldiers and summer Wis
TORS. The Presbyterian church car
rles herewith its sentiments and while
the East Hendersonvil1e Baptist
church has not drawn formal resolu-
lions with reference to the introduc-
ton of public dancing in Henderson
vile, the pastor, Rev. c.. S. Black
burn, in an interview with the Hust-
Ter said that his church wished 20
place itself on record as being en-
tirely in accord with the sentiments
expressed by the other churches of
the community
Presbyterian Resolutions.
Owing to the absence Of the pastor
OF the Presbyterian church, the SEES
OF the church was prevented
from taking as prompt action as was
LCS4SGS4 my us protest
against the proposed innovation of
street dancing for the entertainment
Of u soldiers who may from time to
be visitors IN our city.
At q meeting of the session on
Sunday, March oath, the following
action vas taken:
That, while we heartily approve of
all right and proper efforts to enter
tam soldiers, aRd-feel that very high
honor is due to those who are ready to
supreme sacrifice if need be-
We firmly believe that the proposed
form of entertainment is directly
contrary to the teachings of the
Bible.
We believe that such performances
would be highly injurious to the NOR
rails OF the young people of our com
munlty, and a reproach to the good
of our city.
We therefore wish to unite with
U brethren of the Methodist and
Baptist churches in earnestly urging
the city authorities not to sanction or
permit the proposed form of enter
talnment on our streets.
