AND GARDEN

This is a good time to clean garden
tools, repair hotbed sash, and do 9th,
or odd jobs preparatory to spring.
Make close cuts when pruning.
stubs are likely to decay back to the
heart Of the tree.
Apple and smooth bark trees should
have some protection on the trunks
to prevent sunscald. Cornfodder, wire
screen, or a board will do very well.
Look over the Gamma and dahlia
bulbs frequently to see that they are
keeping well. We shall need ali Of
them this year. Gamma stock is
scarce.
The stock of flowers the country
over did not meet the demand al
Christmas time and many artificial
flowers and other substitutes had to
be used.
This is a good time of year to do
garden planning and get the seed list
ready to order. Send for some cat
alogs today and study them well
when they come.
Every indication now points to a
good season for the plantsman in
1919. Nursery stock and florists stock
for planting out, such as geraniums.
c%oleus, etc, will be in great demand.
Provision should be made for grow
ing a good lot of bedding ANNALS

KING OF TRAILS

Candy News-That the 12-mile sec
ton Of the King of Trails" Interna-
tional Highway, which passes north
and south through the west end of the
county, will be equally as good as any
similar stretch to be found on this
great trail from Canada to Mexico,
was definitely assured Wednesday by
the action of the county commission
ers in agreeing to undertake the con-
struction of the 12-mile link this
spring.
This agreement was reached fol-
lowing the appearance before the
board Of a delegation of six Candy
business men on the condition that
Candy banks temporarily finance the
project by holding the county war
rants issued for the work until such
time as the county funds could take
them up. Under this arrangement the
county will proceed to let the contract
for the work or do it itself, issue war
rants for the payment Of the work, the
money for which will be advanced by
Candy banks.
In this way a hal d-surfaced road of
the very best type of construction, and
about "a feet in width, costing posi-
bly, from $4,000 to $4,000, will be
financed and built without the delay
that often accompanies public pro
jects of the kind because of the lack
Of immediate funds.
The m is also current that the
Luce line will be extended in the
early spring. After a stay of several
months in some of the eastern cities,

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS

A bulletin from a neighboring state
college gives the following pertinent
ideas for gardeners and farmers:
Pruning can be done in the orchard
on warm days from now on. Burn all
trimmings as promptly as possible.
Don't plant cucumbers or other
vines on land that raised a crop of
diseased vines last year. Department
Of Agriculture Bulletin 727 gives
methods of treating cucumber seed to
prevent a~nthracnose.
Test ali seeds this month. This will
give plenty of time to replace any
poor ones before planting time.
Flowering bulbs may be brought in
to the living room for growth now If
a large number Of roots have formed.
There ought to be a good wind
bread on every farmstead in Mime
sofa and about every schoolhouse.
Someone has suggested that the va
cant breweries might be used for dry
ing fruits and vegetables. A few have
already been made into potato -four
factories and the suggestion to use
others for fruit and vegetable drying
looks good.
Willows are good trees to plant
along the banks of waterways to hold
the soil. The fibrous roots work to-
ward the water and the network holds
the soil from washing.
II apple roots are available, piece
graft a few this winter. Next spring
line them out in the garden and a
couple OF years growth will give you
good trees to start an orchard with.
Garden seed and fruit plans should
be ordere dnow. Dealers In these
things are going to be very busy in
March and April and the quicker or
ders are in. the better.
Judging from the scarcity of straw
berries and raspberries on the market,
the last few years, they should be
good crops for interested growers to
try.
Have the insecticides been pur.
chased for use this year? Now Is the
time to- order them.
The vegetable garden will be Just
as important this year as last. Plant
