PREPARE GARDEN
LATE IN SUMMER
One Of Most important Things
Is to Burn or Haul Away All
Trash Of Any Sort.
FIRST Put BEAN POLES AWAY
Pillow or Spade Ground and Cover With
Coarse Manure to Put II in Bet
ter Physical Condition for
Spring Planting.

Prepared by the United States Depart
Inent of Agriculture.
The man who makes Il genuinely
good garden does not begin in the
spring. lie begins in the tall. But
the spring is Il long way off, you say!
The bean poles are beginning to rot
already, and it is time right now to
take out insurance by putting them
away properly. And that is only one
Of considerable number Of simple
things of equal importance that should
be done in the garden--n0W.
Because you have harvested all the
garden crops do not fall into the seri-
Gus error of thinking that you do not
need to give any further attention to
the garden till next spring.
Cleanup Time in Garden.
One Of the most important things is
to clean up. You wouldn't excuse a
slOvenly kept house. Well, SlOvenIi'
ness in the garden is hardly more to
be tolerated. Good housekeeping in
the garden is a matter Of Importance,
not merely because a Slovenly garden
in winter is the most desOlate- looking
thing in mans perversion of nature,
but because the success of next years
vegetables depends on it, largely.
Most Of the diseases and insect pests
that affect garden crops live over
winter in the remains of the past sea-
sons crops. Such materials as cab
bage stalks. bean vines, tomato vines
in fact. trash of any sort in the gar.
den-should be collected and hauled
to a dump, or burned.
Then, having the ground clean, there
is another thing of equal Importance.
1t should not be allowed to lie bare
over winter. Ground exposed to beat
ing rains will puddle and wash and
great loss of plant food is sure to re-
suit. A very good plan is to SOW the
garden in some green crop, such as
rye or winter barley. That protects
the ground and adds organic matter to
the soil. But there is, according to
garden specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
still better plan and one that can be
put in practice after the season for
sowing rye or barley is long past. That
better plan is to pillow or spade the
garden in the fall or as early in the

MANURE SHOWS GREAT VALUE
Where Applied to Glover Fields It In.
creased Yield Threefold-
Phosphorus Helps.

Due to the cool weather. Of the
spring and the freeze which occurred
early in the season. the Iowa agricul-
tural experiment station has had an
opportunity to show the value of com
mon barnyard manure on clover. 1t
has been found that where manure
was added to the fields only once in
the rotation the stand has been in
creased three times over the plots
where no manure was used.
Eight tons per acre were added to
the MANFRED plots and here the leaf
surface and root development are
heavier and better. Where phosphorus
was added at the same time as ma
mre, plants are even more vigorous
and have a greater height.

CARE FOR LATE VEGETABLES
To Store Late Products Nothing More
Is Required Than Use Of
Existing Facilities.

The storing Of late vegetables Is
often profitable for those who grow
them in sufficient quantities for mar.
keting, giving the grower the direct
benefit Of the winter price. To care
for the surplus vegetables in many
cases requires nothing more than the
use Of existing facilities in the form
of a storage room in the basement
Of a dwelling or under an outbuiIding
or to build an outdoor cellar of wood
or masonry. If permanent facilities
are not available, late root crops can
be kept in outdoor pits or banks. re.

3MlTH RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT
BEGINNING OF SESSION is
REPEALED.
ALL RESTRICTIONS REMOVED
Constitutional Provision Which Limits
Time For Introduction Of New
Measures VIII Soon Take
Effect.

Baton R0uge.-The Smith resolu
ton limiting legislation to enabling
acts and emergency measures Was
thrown into the Junk heap by the
House, when that body adopted a res
0lutiOn by Mr.. Claiborne Of P0inte
Coupee to repeal it and declare it in
operative. This has the effect Of re-
moving all restrictions upon legiSla-
ton and a bill can be introduced on
any subject until the thirtieth day OF
the session, when the lid automatic
ally goes down on the introduction OF
all bills. The constitution provides
that bills can only be introduced dur
ing the first thirty days Of the session.
After that date it will be necessary
to get the consent Of a majority or
the House to introduce bill.
The House declared the Smith reso-
lutiol null and void for two reasons
first, that it was in COntraventlOn OF
the constitution, which removed all
limitation from this sesSi0n'Of the Leg
islature and which provides that each
house shall prescribe its own rules of
procedure. Second, that it had ham
pered and delayed the business of the
House although it was intended to ex
pedite legislative work.

New Plan For Handling of
Farm Products
THE AUTHOR EXPLAINS
Financial and Agricultural AS
ISOLATION Endorse
System
Associated Press Dispatchl

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch1
Pierre D August "a pran which
it's opponents claim would stabilize
the prices Of farm products has re-
Gently been presented to the senate
agricultural committee at Washing
ton. 1t has likewise passed the low
er house of South Dakota legislature
and been endorsed by financial and
farming associations.
According to Will II. Lyon OF Sioux
Falls. S. D., the plans author, 1t will
not only stabilize tue price of farm
products but will go further and
stabilize business in general, to a
great extent. In explaining the plan
Mr.. Lyons says:
"The sterilization plan would have
the national government guarantee
to farmers the average cost or pro-
ducing staple, nom perishable, crops,
plus a reasonable profit, by agreeing
to purchase whatever surplus re-
mains on hand at the end Of the crop
year, delivered at certain central
terminals and at stipulated mini
mum price.
This surplus in every staple crop,
except wheat and cotton, is SO small
that the amount Of money required
would be Insignificant in comparl-
son with the value of the entire crop.
Dispose of Surplus
"If the surplus of any crop should
prove excessive, the stabll1zlng COM
mission, fairly representing both pro-
ducers and consumers, appointed by
the president, would probably reduce
the price for the following year ana
increase the price of other products
in which a shortage might exist and
thereby induce our farmers to In,
crease production of flax, wool, ana
sugar which we now so largely I'M :
mort. at a cost of several hundred
million dollars year.
1.-THE government under the plan
must necessarily control the imports
of such products and through the
stabilizing commission would pur-
chase abroad, at the world price
level. any deficit required to sell to
our manufacturers at not less than
the guaranteed price Except that in
tended for export) thereby making q
profit of the difference between the
cost and selling price. Speculation
in food products so abhorrent to the
general public would, Of course, be
automatically eliminated below the
guaranteed price.
Now, when the farmer srceeeds

whether to sell for fear the price will
go down. or hold. for better mar
ket Knowing in advance the guar
anteed minimum price of the various
products, the farmer can use his
hand and ability to the best possible
advantage and the rental and sale
able value of land will be largely
stabilized. The guaranteed minimum
price, of course, should not be made
sufficiently high to induce specula-
ton in farm lands or produce an ex-
cessive surplus.
Under the stabilizing plan the
farmer would receive the same price
regardless of road conditions. Under
the present system the highest PRIV
usually prevails when roads are bad
or elevators congested and delivery
is difficult or impossible. When
these conditions improve the price
goes down." .N
