THE FALL GARDEN


There will be many reasons for plant
ing fall garden this year. There are
good reasons for this every year when
there is sufficient moisture.
We have many vegetables suitable
for early fall or late summer planting.
The selection should be made Of quick
maturing kinds.
1t takes very small area for the or
binary family, but the land should be
in the best possible condition. Mois-
ture for terminating the seed and
starting the growth is very important.
Valentine and StringIess green-pod
beans may be planted as late as Aug.
rs. The Kentucky Wonder, White
Lima or Silver beans may be planted
earlier. Early varieties Of carrots and
dwarf kale may be planted as late as
August 20. while PurpIe-topped Globe
and White Egg turnips may be planted
Jas late as September. Early Drumhead
and Jersey Wakefield cabbage may be
sown in drills as late as August 10.
They should be thinned to about ! 2 in.
Purple-top Rutabaga turnips should
always be planted in drills and will not
do well if put in later than August IS,
while collards planted in same manner,
should be put in during the first week
in August. Bloomdale spinach may be
PLANTED in drills in August.
/ OF course it will be understood that
planting time varies according TO sea-
son and locality. The Southwest has
many kinds Of soils and there is vast
difference in temperature and early
frost in the various localities Of this
vast area. The planting dates are
merely suggestive.
| Every one should be sure to have
a patch of fall potatoes for winter use,
but if the early crop was diseased the
late potatoes should not be planted in
1.-THE same ground. Many will find it
very profitable to use fertilizer, and
certainly the ground should be in good
condition before planting. Late pota-
toes may take the place Of flour before
next spring. Be sure that you have at
least what you need for home use.

WHY NOT PARDON DEBS?


The following Is an editorial from
The Boston POST the leading Demo-
cratic organ Of New England:
Eugene V. Debs, the famous Social
list, is now serving a term at the feder-
al prison at Atlanta for violating the
Espionage Act, although, to be can
did, his offenses were no worse than
those Of many other public characters
who denounced the United States Gov
eminent at time when it was engaged
in war.
Now that peace has come, a disobey-
al Of the law that was needed when
hosdlities were. on and a big army had
to be raised quickly. does not loom so
serious an offence as it did then. 1t
is inevitable that the country regards
these transactions as in some sort mis-
takes Of judgment. rather than as de-
liberate intents TO break the laws of
the land.
Debs has been nominated for Pres
ident by the Socialist Party. which cast
nearly million votes for him in 1912
Under all the circumstances, a pardon
for him would be quite an appropriate
thing and would not, we feel sure. be
disapproved by a majority Of the peo-
pie.
Why may not the President properly
consider giving Debs his freedom ,"

To make it attractive to you we will offer

Not long ago a man wrote saving he had
saved up $500 to buy land and would have
enough this fall to come If he will invest
this s. 90 now, it will be worth SIPS to him
this fall in the purchase Of any Of our lands.
He can use it at any time The notes are
negotiable. Many others are saving money
TO buy land. Some expect to convert bonds
into money. We also accept them.
The advantage to you is that your money
will virtually earn Is per cent interest for
you if you expect to buy land. AT first this
seems higher interest than we could afford,
but we are anxious to get people on to the
land for one thing, and if we paid interest at
the usual rate for three or four years. il
would amount to this much. We had much
rather our friends get the benefit than that
capitalists OF banks get it.
Now TO summarize the plan: We borrow

We use sums from $40 to 81 900 or more.
We will redeem the notes at the rate Of ST.

The success of cooperation naturally de-
ponds on cooperation. What we can do de-
-pends to some extent on what those do who
are interested in us. This promises to be
our most successful year. We are expecting
those who are watching our progress with
such interest to work with us. If those TO

Your Turn Has Come to Back Your
Theories By Cooperating With Us

The LIano Colony is now in the best
shape it has ever been.
This means both financially and socially.
We have a spirit of success among the peo-
pie that can be felt. 1t is upbuilding, up
lifting.
Bhe crops are in splendid shape. We have
nearly SO acres in sweet potatoes which
should yield at least 200 bushels to the acre.
The colony contracted in 1917, when we
came to Louisiana, to purchase a huge tract
Of land. nearly 10000 acres. We are to buy

we offer you the chance Of cooperating with
US on the following plan. which secures your
money with splendid land
This land contains not only some Of the
best farming land, but also some fine tim
Der. Some Of the farm lands have already
been promised to nearby farmers at SIS an
acre. The timber is WORTH from $40 to $50
an acre and upwards for the hardwoods. On
most Of the land there is second growth pine
worth, in some places, up. to SIS an acre.
We do not want to draw on other re-
sources to pay for this land To do so would
hamper us in other operations. would handi-
cap US in carrying out this years plans. So
we are calling on our friends. We do not
want to deal with capitalists If we can avoid
it. So we are offering a proposition which
we believe will be attractive to our friends.
We are offering them the opportunity to be-

glittering speculation; it is merely good in
