SniGa in the Garden

Garlic, leeks and horseradish are
not difficult to grow and do not take
much room in the garden, but they
add a lot of spicy relish to meat,
tionaI War Garden commission. Gar
lie GLOVES" should be planted in
early spring, two or three inches
apart in rows. 1t grows through the
summer and is ready for harvesting
in early fall. Leeks may be. planted
early, or as a follow CROP" earth
being heaped around the plants as
they grow to blanch the stalks. They
are not ready for use until late fall,
and may be stored for winter in
cellars.
Horseradish is often allowed to
grow year after year in some gar
den corner, the roots being dug
whenever needed. Since the roots be-
come woody and mis1shapen after
the first year the best results are re
obtained by planting new "sets"
each spring. The plant is propagat-
ed from cuttings of the roots called
sets" These should be five or six
inches long and in size ranging from
that of a lead pencil to that of a
mans little finger. For straight,
thick roots the soil should be deeply
prepared. 1t likes moist soil.
In deep soil the root cuttings
should be planted straight up and
down. If the top soil is stiff or if
the clay subsoil comes near to the
surface, the roots may be planted
in a slanting posture. The settings
should be from IL to IS inches apart.
Half a dozen plants will make fam
lily supply. Since horserad1sh is a
late crop the roots may be planted
| between rows of peas, early cabbage
or beets. In that case plant the
sets in holes punched in the soil.

A dream that hasn't come true is
the expectation by America of mill
lions of dollars worth of material to
help reconstruct France.
Five months have passed since the
armistice was signed. And it's still
a dream.
France needs foreign goods and
material. She must have them. She
knows she must have them. Never
theless the French government has
laid down such severe restrictions
on imports that the dream of foreign
trade expansion has vanished. into
thin air. France is standing on her
own toes.
France is afraid the commercially
astute Germans will profit while
French industry is repairing itself
and that French industry will suffer
if the door is opened wide to for
ign imports.

"Tiger of France" Keeps
His Bullet Torn Coat

''While clothes are so expen-
sive I am not going to indulge
in the luxury of a new overcoat
just because a fool shot a few
holes in my old coat" Premier
Clemenceau is reported to have
said.
The Tigers" jacket and over
coat, both showing bullet holes,
were pieces of evidence that had
to be produced at the trial of
Emile Coffin, who tried to kill
him. NJ. Clemenceau asked M.
Ignace; under secretary of state
for war, to let him have them
back soon. NJ. Ignace replied
that the articles were in the,
hands of the justiciary, and that
nder the rules it would be i'm
possible to part with them until
the case was past the appeal
stage. Then M. Clemenceau, who
is an enemy of red tape, did what
in French is described as an EFF
ficacious act" and his garments
came back the same day.
The French are a thrifty race
and are expert clothes members.
The bullet holes can be stopped"
so as to defy detection, and the
coat will be as good as ever. That
is NJ. Clemenceaus opinion.

Save Millions With Poison

for spreading poisons by which the
crop-eating rodents are destroyed
and live stock and humans are not
endangered.

returns are correspondingly large,
and figures compiled by those in
charge of the work show a saving
in crops of $40 for every dollar out
