MORE HOME GARDENS NEEDED
Necessity Will Be Greater Coming
Year and Organization and Coop
Grafton Should Be Begun Now.

Cooperation has been suggested as
q solution of many problems in farm
production, and now J. I. Rosa, Jr.,
of the University of Missouri college OF
agriculture suggests cooperation as
means of reducing production cost Tor
the vacant lot gardener. The average
city gardener is not in position to plo"
and prepare garden plot himSelf.
Mr.. Rosa suggests that number OF
gardeners in a given neighborhcod en-
ploy a man and team to prepare their
gardens. In this way the expense can
be divided among them and the man
and team can be kept busy throughout
the day. If the community garden
movement is extensive enough men
and teams may be hired by the day or
week, and each gardeners plot can be
fitted in turn. In this way the work
can be done more cheaply than where
each gardener hires his plot prepared
by the job. A great deal of trouble
can also be eliminated. Other advan-
tages, such as purchasing fertilizers
manure, seeds, plants and other gar
den supplies can be had through CO.
operative effort.
Since the spring garden should be
planned in the fall, Mr.. Rosa suggests
that organization be effected immcdi-
ately. The advantages Of fall plowing
and fall manuring have been demon
strated. The work should be done
while the weather permits.
Cooperation will also provide eff
,cient means Of marketing the surplus
products. Mr.. Rosa suggests that ev-
cry town have an organization of this
sort. If the project is not supported
by some other civic organization, the
municipal authorities, or some indus
trial concern. the community garden
movement should be organized on an
independent basis. If the movement is
large enough q technically trained man
or woman might be employed to super
the work. This. would be advisable
only where the community garden plan
was extensive and where the garden
ers were we'll organized. While it may
not be possible to organize the whole
town, it is entirely possible for neigh
bors to obtain some of the benefits or
the organization by cooperating IN
preparation of their garden plots. The
necessity for home gardens will be
greater than ever in 1918. and plans
should be made Immediately, so that
the garden work will be more efficient
and give better results during the
coming season.

WINTER STOPS THE INSECTS
RIark Ground ReetIee and Ntt"-- Ma
Killed, But Merely Experience
Suspended Animation.

With the coming Of the frosts and
freezing weather the insects are ST.
fenced, and as long as the temperature
holds below 80 degrees Fahrenheit
they are rendered also inactive, ac-
cording to a writer. Above that the
harder beetles and grasshOppers, along
with few spiders, are moving about,
and when the sunshine warns the air
mdre and more certain moths and but
terflies and two-winged flies, including
the gnatS, are on the wing.
Some species of insects feel the ef-
fects Of cold far less than others, and
this does not seem to be influenced by
sturdy bodies, hairy coverings or the
situations in which they are found.
The gnats are among the most fragile
species, but they and the slim-bodied
water striders are found active later
in the autumn and earlier in the spring
than any other creatures, excepting
perhaps the mourning cloak butter
fly and the wasps, oil of these crea'
lures responding TO the sunshine on
the warmer, thawing days Of winter
The black ground beetles also are
quickly resuscitated by slightly warm
er airs.
This proves the fact that most In
sects are not normally killed by cold,
but merely experience suspended ami
nation, and are ready to resume their
activity after any length Of time.

Compressinq Cotton.

Scientific investigation has proved
that compression of a high degree does
not injure the fiber, and cotton is pack
ed in other countries today ut q den
sity substantially three times that of
ours by the most economical practice.
The Egyptian package has a density
of about 81 pounds cubic foot; the
Indian cotton is compressed to DO
pounds per cubic foot; while some In
dian and Chinese baling plants effect a
density of from 50 to GO pounds OF
cotton per cubic foot.

Hidden Seas.

In boring for oil, it is common ex-
perience for the drill to strike enor-
nous flows of salt water. Formerly
this salt water was supposed to be rain
water, which soaked through beds of
salt on its way down to some chasm
in the bowels of the earth, says Roches-
ter Union and Advertiser. The latest
scientific opinion is inclined to believe
that the salt water comes from prehis-
toric oceans, buried in the earth by
geologic changes, in much the same
way that buried forests gave rise to
the coal beds. These hidden oceans
are not conceived as lying in subter-
ranean space or hollow, but as filling
the billions on billions Of crevices In
beds Of porous rock.

Often Destroyed by Fire.

Time after time, together with the
rest of the city Of Moscow, the krem-
lin has been burned, the last occasion
being in 1912 when it was occupied
by Napoleon and the inhabitants of
the city themselves started the con-
tlagrat0ns in all parts of the city. 1t
was indeed these fires which forced
the little corporal to commence his
disastrous retreat across the Snow
bonnd steppcs of Russia. Napoleon
had his headquarters in the Krel',lin,
and while the llalnes were not Sc de-
structive there as in other parts of, the
city, yet they forced evacuation.

This suggestion will be beneficial to
housewives who have not the convcn-

The discoloration may be removed II

Rev. J. Quincy Biggs, pastor of the
Moscow Christian church, who recently
passed a successful examination for
chaplain i'll the army, has received notice
from Washington, D. c., that his creden-
tials and examination papers have been
received and that he has been successful
and will be placed on the reserve list for
army chaplains. The war department is
not accepting any new chaplans now
while rehabilitation is going on but
when this is completed there will be a
reconstruction period in which a new
army, probably numbering 100000 men,
will be organized as the regular army"
and this will need many chaplains. He
will probably be given work then. In
the meantime he will continue as pastor
of the Christian church here, where he
has been very successful since his
arrival i'll Moscow last winter, but will
be subject to call at any time his services
are needed by the army.

CROWDING THE PEACE TABLE

There seems to be a popular idea that
the peace conference is to be sort OF
frolic place where people go for a
good time and where every pet idea is
to be formulated into an international
law Eevry ism" is asking to be repre-
scented at the peace table Labor asks to
have a representative, the woman suffra-
gists ask that they be represented. The
i. Catholics ask that the pope be invited,
and SO on, ad infinitum.
If half of the requests for seats at the
peace table" were granted it would cease
to be a table and become a trough. There
would be more friction and contention
than at an old fashion populist conven-
ton, and many of us remember what
they were. The prohibitionists want to
be represented and the liquor interests
also ask that representative be sent to
Paris to look after their welfare
1t is predicted that it will take three
months to settle all the questions con-
corning peace, with the representation
limited to one or two or five, at the
most, from each of the countries that
actually took part in the war.
Just suppose this number of delegates
were increased by the number of apple
cations for seats, if all were granted.
There would be more than 1000 persons
in abundance and every one would
naturally think that his or her question
was the most important and instead of
taking three months ii would take three
years and no agreement would be reach
ed then. qsa3ss'
If the Catholics we're to secure seat
for the pope, the Methodists, Baptsts,
Congregationalists, Christian Scientists,
Mormons. Mohammedans, Holy Rollers,
Seventh Day Adventists and Dowieites
would all think their church should be
represented. If the woman suffragists
