Don't forget to include a plat Of
popcorn in your garden. Besides its
use as confection, popcorn possesses
much food value.
On many farms where 1t is not de-
sired to grow popcorn as a market
crop, few rows are planted In the
garden for home use. This usually In
terests the children and it is we'll to
let them do the planting.
If IL is desired to grow popcorn as a
field crop, the surplus stock that is not
wanted for home use can usually be
sold to local merchants at fair price,
or profitable local trade may be built
up by supplying 1t direct to consum-
ers.
Almost any variety of popcorn will
give satisfactory results If properly
handled and, by judicious seed selec-
ton, the chosen variety can be great
iy improved.
Plant Popcorn Early.
Popcorn should be planted early so
1t will have long season in which to
mature. The planting may be done as
soon as the soil is dry enough to Guilt
vate, or when the oak trees begin to
show their new leaves.
A warm, well-drained location, free
from marshy conditions, should be Sc
lected. The soil should be plOwed or
spaded to depth Of eight inches or
more and the surface of the plat thor
oughly pulverized before planting. The
rows should be about three feet apart.
deep Is sufficient. The kernels should
be dropped eight or ten inches apart in

DEBATE IN ENGLISH.

The English language recently was
used for the first time in the debates
of the Filipino House of Representa-

The fact was cabled to the United
States Insular Affairs Bureau. The
principal speakers were Messrs. Benz

members are graduates from the Uni

TEST SEEDS BEFORE SOWING
Essential Preparation Consists Of Pro-
vidino Apparatus and knowledge
of Methods.

Practically the only element In crop
production that the farmer has COM
pletely under his own control is the
planting of good seed.
1t is important that farm seeds be
tested before they are sOwn. Other
wise, full crop cannot be grown
even under the most favorable wealth
er conditions.
Seed testing for practical results
says the United States Department Of
Agriculture, can be done much more
easily than is generally believed.
The essential preparation for maxi
ing seed tests consists of providing
the simple apparatus necessary and
Of becoming familiar with the general
purposes and methods of testing and

to tests of particular kinds of seeds.

SAYS ALL FILlPlNOS
WANT INDEPENDENCE.

at is frequently said that only the
politicians in the Philippines want in
dependence, but I do not think such is
the case" said DIR. ID. M. Gambler,
superintendent Of the California Anti
Saloon League, who has just returned
from the Philippines. 81 have met
all classes Of people from various
parts of the islands and all alike seem
to me to desire independence. I am
inclined to think that they have the
ability TO govern themselves. We are
developing a social and political con-
science in America and they will de-
velop one there; and 1 very much
doubt that they will learn as fast
under present conditions as they
would under complete independence.
Independence in some form is bound
to come and I am inclined to think
that II had better come SOON"

Every year June 10 Is celebrated by
Filipinos as the anniversary of the
birthday Of the Filipino martyr, DIR.
Jose Rial, regarded as the greatest
man the Malay race has produced.
Rial, who spoke seven languages
and was a cultured and much travelled
man Con one occasion he travelled
across the United States), earned the
enmity Of Spanish governors In the
Philippines by protesting against the
oppression of the Filipino people. AS
q boy he had witnessed scenes that
sent shafts of grief into his poet
soul. and he early dedicated his life
to the liberation of les land adored."
At the risk of his life, and at the
sacrifice of his career, friends and
loved ones, he became the spokesman
for the stlfled grievances Of the voice
less multitude, and thus became 1.-THE
living indictment of SPANS wretched
colonial system"
Rial could have saved his life, as
he had been warned by friends not to
return to the islands. He could not
be dissuaded, but before returning to
Manila left a letter with a friend in
HongkOng to be opened after his
death, in which he wrote: "Gladly do
