buy and mix accordingly Run rows
three feet apart and put down the
fertilizer. Have it mixed with soil
by best means at hand, then cover
level. In late demonstrating
first watered the rows set out the
twelve inches high, drive small
stakes near each one, being careful
not to strike the roots. At proper
each case, Watch for the Colorado
beetle and the hideous and destruc-
tive worms that follow in the wake
of the beetles. Cultivate the crop,
of course. Wait till the vines bloom
fully, then look for tubers, then wait
a little while for larger ones. You
will be delightfully."- astonished when
provided you care for the eyes as
they grow. No new thing under the
sun!
Used with a view to soil building
eral application of high grade COM
mercial fertilizer, adapted to tire
crop in prospect, there will be real
lied, in subsequent crops, the fine
residual effect of the stable or lot
manure.
Green Manuring a Foundation for
Crops
The value of green manuring is
recognized by all tillers of the soil,
but exceedingly few of them put
their knowledge and faith into prac-
tice. The vines of the cowpea are eX-
cellent for the purpose. One may
add to their value by seeding the
area, proposed to be thus MANFRED,
with 81 quantity of sweet clover, 9TH
erwise known as melilotus. This
combination is composed of one
bushel of either Clay or Unknown
peas and 1 IL pecks of sweet clover.
Should be turned under when in full
bloom. Whether sown broadcast
singly or as a mixture, there should
be applied broadcast and narrowed
in, before the seed are sown, 400
pounds of 1914 goods per acre. This
will prove to be a fine investment.
Recurring to the cowpeas to be
acre, the suggestion is made that to
cut the vines when in full bloom and
save as hay, then let stubble stool
out and stand until nipped by first
frost-then turn under, will be to
realize most satisfactory results.
Such stubble, turned under in good
soil and the area sown in oats will
guarantee a large crop of fine oats.
Rye by itself, and rape with hairy
vetch, will give good results in green
manuring. Crimson clover, broad
casted between cotton rows just in
advance of third picking, and sown
in the same manner between corn
rows Immediately preceding the clay
by season, will give heavy crop to
be turned under between April 10
and May 10. In turning the crop
under, have your men leave every fifth
or sixth row undisturbed. This will
provide a crop of seed that will be
cast on the land and be in evidence
later. The rows referred to will be
six or seven feet apart.

NINE. CURLE TELLS WHAT
SHE THINKS OF AMERICA

PITTSBURG, Pa.-Madame Curie
knows now what she thinks of
America and Americans. A week
after her arrival from France the IA
nous discoverer of radium begged to
be excused-she had had only time
for superficial opinions, and scientists
cannot think specifically.
But now
After visiting several of our great
est cities and educational institutions,
After receiving from President
Harding a 100000 gift of radium
presented by American women,
After inspecting the laboratory
here in which most of the worlds
supply Of radium is refined
The madame speaks.
. She has found much that is, good
in US, some that is-well, not SO good.
American Women-Ah, yes, how
she admires them So different, so
much more active, so much more in
dependent than European women.
American Extraordinarily, to be
sure. But she dislikes the noise, the
push, the jam. 1t tires her so-but
so does Paris.
New York-Long and narrow, cold
and ssteely! Too much marble, too
Washington-She likes it best Of
all. The parks and gardens and
statues-ah, there is an inspiration
and a happiness. ...
Our Rivers-The Hudson-majes-
tic but spoiled by commerce! The
Potomac-there's a river you can
take to your heart and love!
Smoking by Women-She likes best
those women who confess they do
smoke-for then you can ask how
much.
Jazz-Never heard tor of it
either in Paris or New York. What
is it?
Carpentier-Dempsey Fight-Please
write down a blank, like this!
American Cooking-Ditto for the
sake of diplomacy.
The writer came to Pittsburg to
interview Madame Curie. He found
the famous scientist had surrounded
herself with the same barriers that
presidents and kings erect. She must
not be quoted directly; her daughter
Irene was authorized to express her
views; yes, she understood them
fully! Irene is her mothers CO.
worker.
This recluse~ Of the Paris Iabora-
tory, who has stepped for few
weeks into the whirl of American af-
fairs, confesses it is somewhat dir
Tying. But she enjoys it-much!
The wrinkles around her lips and
eyes deepen with concentration, but
often relax into a motherly smile.
OF Polish descent, the madame has
typical Slavic face. The nose is
prominent but well-molded. Her lips
are thin, her chin strong. Her eyes
dark gray-are true mirrors of intel
lect. Her hair. once brown, now is
gray.
Madame Curie dresses most plainly
like an American housewife going
marketing. Black shirtwaist, with
some lace and white collar. High
shoes with low heels, black, of
course. No ornaments, save ribbon
with, jeWeled clasp, from which
dangled the golden key to her casket
of radium.
She fingers the key frequently-it
is the key to further scientific re-
searches, which she hopes may bene-
nj the world far more than did her
