VETCH CROP IN HOME GARDEN
Spaded or Hoed Under 1t Will Assist
in Keeping Soil Supplied With
Needed Hunnus.

A few cents worth of vetch seed
planted in the garden each year and
spaded or hoed under as a green ma
nure crop will keep the soil supplied
with humus and to a large extent, with
nitrogen. The vetch should be kept
growing at all times in all available
spaces
For example, if early corn or cab
bage are not removed in time to allow
for follow-up crop, vetch can be
planted between the rows at the time
Of the last cultivation. 1t will then be
large enough to spade under in the fan;
or spring. Another good way to use
vetch Is to sow it in the fall or spring
when the garden is being spaded In
preparation for tomatoes.
BY the time. the tomato plants are
ready to eat, the vetch will be well uIl-
der way. If the vetch Is not more than
three or four inches high, places can
be cleared at proper distances for
planting the tomatoes by turning IN,
der a spade or two of soil. Then
when the vetch left between the to.
matoes is six or eight inches high, il
can be hoed in. Since it is green and
tender, this is no great task and rhe
vetch will soon rot. If vetch is used in
this way, the soil should be inocu.
lated with the necessary bacteria. In.
structions for doing this simple work
can be had upon application to the
state college of agriculture at Ithaca
N. Y.

MEXICO ADVOCATED
Gov. Hobby Urges Interven-
ton and Adoption Of Ma
tions League Covenant.

Ell Paso, Tex-InterVention in Mex
leo and the adoption of the league OF
nations, ito make the world safe for
American citizens" were urged by
Governor w. P Hobby of Texas in
a speech made Friday at dinner
given in his honor at Ell Paso.
The statement was made in the
presence of Mexican Consul General
Andres G. Garcia and other Mexican
officials, who were guests at the din
ner.
Our glorious victory in the great
war has made the world safe for de-
mocracy," Governor Hobby said. Nov
we must have intervention in Mexico
and a league Of nations to assure that
safety to every place else IN the
world The lives and property of
American citizens should be protect
ed in Mexico and all over the world.
81 glory that our nation had its big
share in bringing victory for the al
lied cause and that the men who wear
it's uniform did so much to increase
the respect for our flag in foreign
lands. Now it is the time for US to
demand that proper respect be paid
American citizens all over the world,
Governor Hobby said
Major General Robert L. Howzee,
newly appointed commander Of the Ell
Paso military district, and Brigadier
General James B. Erwin, retiring COM
mander of the district, were both
given ovations when they started
speaking.
at seems reasonable to expect that
our neighbors, the Mexicans, should
respect us and, as the world war is
over and practically all Of our COM
bat divisions are at home again those
in authority, if they see fit, are well
able to adopt and carry out policy
that should bring about favorable and
happy results" General Howe said,
This policy should bring about fay
orable results as far as concerns first
our own interests and those Of our
friends, subjects of Great Britain and
France, who have vast property hold
ings in Mexico; and, second as far as
concerns Mexico in stabilizing or in
establishing livable form of govern
ment," General Howe declared. I'VE
are living in a time too far advanced
for the world to tolerate any but liV'
able forms of government wherever
civilized people may choose to live.

PUTTING EAR CORN IN slLo
Best to Add Some Stalks Because They
Furnish Much Sugar Essential
to Fermentation.

1t has been found practical to en-
sile soft corn ears without any stalks,
but it is better to add some stalks
because they furnish much sugar
which is essential to proper fermenta-
ton, Tests made at Ames on the
Iowa station show that an immense
amount of corn can be slowed away
in silo this way, that it will not
spoil, and that it makes an exceed
lngly rich feed. It should be fed as a
concentrate and not as a roughage.
The ears should be cut fine and thor
oughtly tramped in the silo when
filling. Do not let any spoiled ears
get in, or too big proportion of ma
ture corn, as this does not pack and
epsile so well.

Eoos Will Keep From Eioht to Twelve Months Condition

stirring the mixture thoroughly. This
will be sufficient to preserve Is dozen
eggs, and will serve as guide for the
quantity needed to preserve larger
numbers of eggs.
4. The eggs should be placed in the
solution. If sufficient eggs are not
0btainable when the solution is first
made, more eggs may be added from
time to time. Be very careful to al
low at least two inches Of the solu-
ton to cover the eggs at all times.
5. Place the crock containing the
preserved eggs in cool, dry place,
well covered TO prevent evaporation
Waxed paper covering the top of the
crock and tied around it will answer
this purpose.
Limewater Method.
Pour a small quantity of water on
one and One-half pounds of unSlaked
lime and when this is thoroughly
slaked add five gallons of boiled wa
ter. Allow the mixture to stand I'M
til the lime settles. Then pour off the
clear liquid, add one pound of salt and
use this for preserving the eggs,
throwing away the sediment in the
bottom of the receptacle. Use the
same directions as recommended for
the water glass for putting the eggs
| in this solution.
! Fresh, clean eggs, properly pre-
served, can be used satisfactorily for
all purposes in cooking and for the
table. When eggs preserved in water
glass are to be boiled, small hole
should be made In the shell with a
pin at the large end before placing
them In the water This is done to al
low the air in the egg to escape when
heated and to prevent cracking.
Eggs will keep from eight to twelve
months in good condition, but are
better up to the sixth or seventh
month. Dirty or cracked eggs should
not be put into the solution. Water
glass costs about $1.20 a gallon, max
ing the cost Of preserving eggs with
this material about two cents a dozen
for the water glass. Water-glass sOlu-
ton should not be used again. the Sec
ond year unless it has kept quite clear
and no Odor or thick sediment has de-
veloped. The use of limewater is
much cheaper than the water-glass
method.

Experiments in preserving eggs con-
Quoted by the United States depart
ment of agriculture in the past year
obtained best results from q 10 per
cent solution of water glaSs--that is,
one part of commercial water glass
added to nine parts Of boiled water.
Good results were obtained with a
slightly weaker solution, using one
part of water glass to IA parts of
water. Better results were obtained
when the water was boiled than when
unbOiled water was used.
Earthenware Jars Best Containers.
In test of different containers the
earthenware jar gave by far the best
and most satisfactory results. Soft
wood containers, such as candy pals,
did not give satisfactory results,
while hardwood containers, such as
kegs used for cider and other bever-
ages, gave much better results than
the softwood pals, but did not begin
to compare with the earthenware
crooks. Even the hardwood kegs gave
considerable trouble on account OF
leakage, and had to be watched con-
stantly, which made them unsatisfac-
tory. Galvanized metal containers
similar to new garbage pals were also
used with success, but were not quite
so satisfactory as the crooks.
Tests with, solutions other than wa
ter glass were made, and limewater
both with and without salt, gave sat
isfactory results. Where unslaked
lime is more readily available than
water glass the limewater method is
an excellent one to use and is cheaper
than the water glass. Tests in which
the eggs were coated with wax and
soap and other coating material did
not give nearly so satisfactory results
as when the eggs were kept in solu
/ ton.
Directions for the use Of water
glass and limewater are as follows:
/. Select a fve-gallon crock anf
clean it thoroughly, after which il
should be scalded and allowed to dry
2. Heat a quantity of water to the
boiling point, and allow it to cool.
8. When cool measure out nine
quarts of water, place it in the crock
and add one quart of sodium silicate

ing the cells to Shrirel and turn white.
When number of these cells are de-
stroyed they appear as irregular white
or light-brown spots. If the attack is
severe, the whole leaf surface becomes
invested by these spots and finally
shrivelS and dies,
Spraying has been found to be the
most effective means of controlling this
insect, both in the greenhouse and out

The spray should be applied to both
sides of the leaves; if possible, on a
dull or cloudy day. The adults are not
so active at this time and are, there
fore, less likely to move out Of reach
of the spray.
In the greenhouse the sugar-beet
thrips may be held in check by the
application of a strong spray of water
to the foliage. This washes the young
err stages from the leaf; and as these
are unable to reach the food plant
again, they soon die.
