GOOD DRAINAGE ESSENTIAL
TO SUCCESSFUL GARDEN
First Problems of Home Planting Are Explained in
Detail-Plowing Should Be Done at
Possible Time

THE first problem in preparing the
L land for garden that has not been
used for this purpose is to remove all
dead weeds, sticks, stones, bushes and
trash of any sort. Briers and bushes
should be dug up by the roots so they
will not sprout again.
Good drainage Ia essential to a suc-
cessful garden. II the land Is not well
drained. this should be corrected as the
first step in making the garden. Tile
drains may be used or the land may be
bedded by plowing it in long, narrow
lanes. leaving the middle burrows as
drainage bitches. In the case Of gardens
spaded and worked by hand the same
results may be had by bedding up the
soil. Vegetables will not thrive in poor
ly drained soil no matter how much
care is given them.
Flowing or spadlng should be done al
the earliest possible moment. in order
that in sections of the country where
freezing occurs the soil may be subject
ed to freezing so that II will be broker
up by the action OF the frost and b,
mellow and friable when planting begins
Nothing aids in the preparation of thu
soil, and especially stiff soils, like freez
ing and thawing. 1t is especially i'm
portant that ground in sod be plowet
In time SO 1t will freeze after plowinl
and the grub worms and other hiber
mating insects and worms may be de
stroyed.
Where severe freezing Is sure to oc
cur after the plowing is done little harm
will be done by plowing the ground whil
wet. Otherwise the ground should no
be plowed until fairly dry, or clods vii
result.
The ground after plowng should b.
allowed to remain rough until needed
1t is an excellent plan to make an ap
plication OF air-slaked lime or groun,
limestone to the freshly plowed soil ii
order that 1t may have time to correc
acidity before planting time arrives. TIL

to follow this plan. Ground that has

War Savings Stamps

United States War Saving Stamps are democratic form of government security, bearing in terest like liberty bonds, and in denomination so small as to place it within the power of every citi- zen to give tangible help to his country in the present emergen. cy by encouraging habits of thrift and letting the government use money that would otherwise be wasted or hoarded where it's power for good would be tempor- arily lost. Stamps worth five dollars five years hence are for sale this month at $4. 12, increas- ing 1c per month in price until maturity in January, 1923, when they will be redeemed at the post office or at the Treasury of the United States. The Bank of Alaska has agreed to carry a supply of these stamps and it is expected will have them for sale by the end of this week. Further information can be had at the bank CT the postoffice or from F. Matheson, Chairman War Savings Stamps Sales for the Wrangell District:

Natives Do Good Work For
 Red Cross

One of the most enjoyable as well as successful Red Cross events that occurred during the past year was the basket social given by the Native people at the Rink last Thursday evening.
 The hall was beautifully dec orated. Thomas Daleity, the best auctioneer in Alaska was on hand and did a splendid job of auctioneering. The baskets all brought good prices. The basket bringing the highest price was bought by Iwao Nagasumi. The owner of this basket was Mrs. Sadie Edmunson, principal of the Native Schools. Following the sale of the baskets there was a dance W hich was thorough ly enjoyed. The Native band furnished the music.
 During the evening there was a lunch at which the contents of the baskets figured prominently,
 It was well past the wee sma' hours when the affair came to a close.
 The gross receipts were $216. 50. After deducting expenses $1S7 was turned over to the Red Cross. The Native people of Wrangell are surely doing their bit toward helping to win the war and deserve great praise for such concrete evidence of patriot ic purpose.

Halifax Contribution Acknowledged

The Sentinel does not wish to draw indvidious comparisons but we believe there is nothing unfair in calling atten- tion to the fact that while Wran- gell contributed $437 for the Halifax sufferers, the amount contributed by the city of Spo- kane was S100. The great city of San Francisco contributed $2, 800. Anchorage gave S203. 50.
 Mayor Matheson yesterday re- ceived a most appreciative letter iron? the secretary of the Cana dian club. The letter is in part as follows:
 Il wish to express the very great thanks of the Canadian Club of Seattle for the splendid contribution of the citizens of Wrangell for the relief of Hali- fax.
 Noting that you have more than a hundred subscriptions to the Wrangell fund for the Hali- fax relief, and remembering the the speed with which you ans wered our call, we are doubly impressed with the fine spirit and degree of activity back of your effort. Coming in the midst of a nation wide Red Cross drive and on the eve of Christmas holi- days, we feel very proud of the response to our call.
 We shall ever treasure the memory of your good deed for the relief of sorely stricken people. Your action typifes the spirit of the Northland."
