DOES SOMEONE WANT TO

This is no joke. Neither is it
one of the forty-seven notable
foolish questions. We ask because
we are looking for some rancher
or farmer who thinks that the
whole world has dropped M HIM

thinks he would like to trip along
the rose bower entwined pathway
of the newpaper man for a few
trips. We would take on even d
merchant who wants to exchange
stock of goods these hard times
for the pleasant and profitable bu-
siness of running a newspaper
Yeah, it is to laugh. Come on
gentlemen, step right up close,
and get look at the real thing
these hard times to-wit, namely
and thus: running a newspaper.
Markets are down, and the
farmer is struck hard. There's no
question about it, and we have
been endeavoring to show our
sympathy for the farmer, who will
thus be called upon to lose some
money. The merchant, likewise, is
struck hard and for a while viii

an effort to get from under.

itions to trade our whole news !.

has to buy wrapping paper both

operating business at this time.

With returns from nearly all

With returns from nearly all
the counties in the state, it ap-
pears that all of the proposed
laws and all but two of the amen
dments were defeated. The two
amendments that got by was the
one allowing the rural credit law
to also apply to building homes in
the towns and the other was the
soldier bonus law. Both these are
good measures but as a matter of
fact all the constitutional amend
ments were good ones and should
have carried.

Tomatoes Should Be
Considered First In
Backyard Gardens

What crops to plant in the home
garden will depend upon the size of
the garden, the size of the family
and the size of the family's appetite.
Where the garden space in extreme
ly limited only those crops that will
produce a considerable quantity of
food on small area should be in
cluded.
As rule, home gardeners, es-
pecially the beginners, devote too
much space to lettuce and radishes
and too little to beets, carrots,
beans, onions, and tomatoes, ac-
cording to United States Depart
ment of Agriculture specialists.
Where the family is small it is easy
to overplant most of the garden
crops. The surplus of certain veae-
tables can be saved by canning and
drying, others like lettuce and
radishes are a loss unless some kind
neighbor will use them.
Children eat almost as many fresh
vegetables as grownups and should
be counted as "full hands" in esti-
mating the amount of space to de-
vote to any vegetable. The size OF
the family appetite is liable to ex-
pand considerably when the vege-
tables are brought fresh from the
garden. and it is always safe to have
a plenty OF the more staple vege-
tables. Corn and Irish potatoes oc-
cupy' too much space for planting
in the very small garden. Tomatoes
should find a place in every garden,
as should spinach, chard and other
kinds of greens.

Few Tools Are Needed
For tle'Home Garden

Thrift gardens should be thrift
gardens from start to finish, and the
vegetables grown in them should
not cost as much as it would cost to
buy ther, on the market. Every
item of expense should be kept
down. This is especially true in the
purchase OF tools. Some gardeners
have an idea that they must have
large assortment of hoes and,
rakes, wheel hoes, seed drills, spray
ing outfits and special equipment
before they can begin to garden.
But the tools actually required in
the cultivation Of a thrift garden
are few and simple. A spade or
spading fork. a steel rake and hoe,
together with a piece of string and
two small wooden stakes, are the
chief essentials. There are num-
Der of other tools. such as trowel.
sprinkling can, wheel-hoe, seed drill
and wheelba;row, that may often be
used to advantage, but they are not
absolutely necessary.

Plant Gardens On Vacant
Lots to Beat the H. c. of L.

Vacant city lots would not be OF
much value for growing corn or
wheat but these valuable pieces OF
dirt are often just the place for
growing a good vegetable garden.
Often the soil is rough and covered
with stones and all sorts of waste
materials, but most people who live
in cities and towns do not get
enough outdoor exercise anyway,
ard the labor necessary to clean off
the trash and pile the stones to one
side will do them good. Some of
the best home gardens have been
grown ON vacant lots that was not
much more than a stone pile to be-
gin with. In one case enough old
foundation stones were removed to
build a wall along the two exposed
sides of the lot. The soil was then
leveled and few small loads of
manure spaded into it. The garden
was planted while neighboring
apartment house dwellers looked on
from their windows, doubt written
on every face, but the garden grew
and flour; shed, and many were the
smiles Of appreciation of the good
things tliat were handed them by the
owner of the garden.

Good Seeds Essential
In Thrift Home Gardens

Bring out the leftover seeds and
those saved from last years garden,
spread them on a table, examine
them closely. and see how many are
worth planting in the garden this
year.
As rule, it does not pay to plant
old seeds, and unless those left over
from last year are in frst-class con-
dition, they had best be discarded,
United States Department of Agri-
culture specialists advise. Even
though they look to be all right
nothing but a termination test will
determine their value. The test may
be made in two or three ways, the
easiest being by means of small
box of sand in the window or in a
warm place in the house. From 50
to 100 seeds of each sample to be
tested should be counted out and
carefully planted in the moist sand.
After the sprouts have appeared, an
other count can be made to deter
mine the percentage that have
germinated. If less than 65 per cent
or 20 per cent have grown, the seed
by all means should be discarded.

Cost Of Home Gardening
Only a Little Bit Higher

Food prices are high. but food
grown in home gardens costs COM
paratively little more than before
prices began to ascend. This addi-
tonal reason for home gardening in
1920 is put forward by specialists of
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. They quote letter
from q New York business man. He
wrote:N
Food costs today are practically
double those OF 1914. but the cost to
plant and care for a home garden
has not increased to any considera-
bic extent. The clerk, salesman or
professional man who grows his
own vegetables and small fruits re-
duces the family food bill. More
important still, he increases the to-
tai food supply of the country. He
Cutters the producing class. To
very appreciable extent the home
gardener can solve the high cost Of
living"

Spading Puts Garden In
Better Shape Than Flowing

Plownlen and teams are scarce
around cities. and the smaller gar
den plots can often be spaded to
much greater advantage than they
can be piowed. Where there are a
group Of community gardens 10
Gated ON a clear plot of ground they
can often be pIowed together, and
thus considerable labor is saved.
But the small garden plots, es-
pecially those in back yards, must
be spaded. A considerable area can
be spaded if, the work is done lit
tie at a time, so that it does not be-
come ti,esolne. A god job of spad-
ing will always put the land in betr
ter condition than blowing.

Nature Has Made the
Soil Just Right for
Gardeners This Year

Winter SHOWS and hard freezing
weather. reported in many parts of
the United States this winter, are
the best agencies for getting garden
soils in condition. according to
United States Department of Agri-
culture specialists. Soil is nothing,
more nor less than finely divided
rock with decayed vegetable matter
mixed with it. Every time the water
freezes in the crevice of a rock i it
makes the opening a little wider On
til finally the rock is split into frag-
ments; more water gets into the
openings in these fragments and
freezes, and so the work of reduc-
ton goes on fotever. Every time
the ground freezes new soil, is
formed, but this new soil is in need
Of manure or decaying vegetable
matter before it will hold water in
minute quantities and be in condi-
ton to produce crops.
Every time the soil is stirred in
cultivating, the particles are ground
together, and they rub or break off
still finer particles. II the soil is
too wet when it is worked, the par
ticles will become cemented together

ment, and such issues lasted for sew
crK weeks. The installation of ma
chinery begun then, too, but has
now been completed, in space of
time as remarkable as that needed
to finish the building itself.
Establishes Unapproached Record.
Packing house machinery is all
tailor made" and differs in every
plant, Mr.. Collins explained.
Usually it takes from six months
to year to install this machinery,
and at the present time may require
period of much greater length.
The placing and testing of the ma
chinery OF the Skinner plant in less
than three months establishes a
record unapproached, he believes.
While the Paxton hotel and the
Skinner plant are the only examples
of Collins Brothers enterprise in
Omaha, the entire country, and par
ticularly the middle western states
are dotted with structures erected
by his firm, according to Mr.. Col
Inns. The policy of the firm under
his father and since he has become
its head has always been to special
ize in a few big jobs and do them
we'll, he said. :"
Among steady clients Of Collins
Brothers, he enumerated the Rock
Island railroad, Moline Plow COM
paty. Swift & Co., Morrell Packing
company, Ford Motor company, and
the John Deere Plow company. For
these companys Ceilings Brothers
have erected warehouses, freight
terminals, factories and packing
houses, as we'll as innumerable
smaller buildings necessary to large
construction jobs. Notable among
monuments to their credit is the as
sembling plant of the Ford Motor
company at Kansas City, which is
the largest owned by that concern,
with the exception of their Long
Island plant.

Although the head Office of the
company is in Kansas City, Mr.. Col
Inns expressed yesterday desire
that he might be able to remain i'll
Omaha and keep his home here. Il
wish I could stay in Omaha and 60
after some Of the big jobs here in

able to, although right now ! am
pretty we'll tied up with work al
ready under way in Kansas City.
By all means l am going to keep
the Omaha Office open.
"Since I have been connected
with the firm, and particularly since
taking my father's place, | have
tried to build up Jan organization
that will give service. To my mind
the firm should never become so
large as to get out of hand, and in
