Plant Late as July.
Success in gardening depends
largely upon keeping the soil busy
throughout the season After the
first early crops are gathered there
is still time TO plant others. Even in
the more northern states planting
may be continued wen into July.
One OF the greatest dangers in
late planting is that in a dry season
there may be moisture enough in the
soil to give the crops a rapid growth.
It Is desirable in such cases to water
the garden so Thoroughly that the
supply OF moisture win be replen-
ished. This should be done before
the seeds are sownA
The soil should also be spaded and
raked OF ploWed and narrowed before

up to the middle Of July.
Green Peas Delicious.

IT IS always interesting to grow a

A few weeks after the kohlrabi
plants come up. the stems just above

INVESTIGATE LOSS
OF WEAVER HOME

A state fire marshal was in Wads-
worth last Friday investigating the
origin of fire which destroyed the
palatial dwelling Of Mr.. and Mrs.
James H. Weaver on the previous
Tuesday. The home which was a
new one and one of the most costly
homes in Wadsworth, was completely
Quilted in a strange manner. Mrs.
Weaver had passed through the
downstairs but ten minutes before the
fire was discovered, and could see
nothing unusual or smell smoke. Re-
turning upstairs she was Mortified to
find that in ten minutes the inside
of the house was roaring furnace.
The fact that fire was burning in
the furnace at the time, and that an
inspection Of the gas pipes after the
fire revealed no leaks, gives the in
cident suspicious aspect. Many
Wadsworth residents are of the opin.
ion that time bomb was placed ir
the downstairs and that it failed te
explode at night as was the intention
The flames seemed to sweep through
the entire house. soaring everything
