BIG FIGHTING
 SHIP LAUNCHED
 TODAY IN EAST
Superdreadnought Washing ton, Mightiest Craft of Her
 Class, Goes Down Ways.

CAMDEN, N. J., Sept. l. - The mightiest fighting ship of her class afioat, the superdreadnought Wash ington, glided off the ways here to- day and, wallowing her way out into the water, hove to for the final touches which will make her a sea terror.
 For weeks the big ship has tow cred above the yards where she was built, like some huge monster sun ming itself ashore Today, amid cere- monies attended by high Navy offi- cials and notables from Washington State and other places, the vessel re- mained the center of all eyes, At .he conclusion of these exercises, as though impelled by the blow from the ribbon -decked bottle which Miss Jean Summers, daughter of Repre- sentative J. w. Summers, Washing ton, swung against her brow, the huge thing glided away, as though retreating to its element, and settled in the water. The Washington will now be fitted out for trial runs and then put to sea.
 When she joins the fleet she will out-rank even the giant Tennessee in armament ant smashing power. She will be a sister ship of the Maryland, commissioned in August, and of the Colorado, and West Vir- ginia, now building. The keel of the Washington was laid June 3. 1919.
 The Washington, when finally armed and fitted out, will have a displacement of 32.600 tons. She is 624 feet long, 97 feet broad at the waterline and has draft of 30 feet 6 inches. She has a speed of 21 knots: Her armament will include eight 16-inch turret guns; fourteen 5-inch secondary guns, four anti-air- craft guns and other auxiliary weapons.
 The Washington will be propelled by electricity derived from the latest engineering achievements in turbine motors. She will thus have great rlareuvering ability, capable of quick reversing, and other advan- taYcs.
 The Washington and her class are slightly different from the battle ship class generally in several par riculars, notably armament. They are fitted with the latest equipment in every detail. from living quarters to fighting tops, and will prove a formidable addition to the already powerful fleets now guarding Amer ican shores.

Cultivation is imperative, not
only to keep the weeds down but
in order to form a dust mulch on
the top of the ground, thus pre-
venting the escape of moisture. It
is made comparatively easy by the
means of a wheel hoe, which is
needed in any but very small gar
dens, although it will rot do the
work of hand hoe. The latter
will be needed constantly and
should be kept sharp by the use of
a file on the under side. Indeed, it
is Of great advantage to keep all
the tools sharp.
It is especially important that
the garden be cultivated immed-
lately after a hard rain-that is, as
soon as the ground is sufficiently
dry. Hard rains pack down the
earth and the moisture rapidly es-
capes. Cultivation locks the mois-
ture into the earth, where the
plants use it. 1t is an old adage

Nitrate of Soda

Remember-the freeze of a year
ago weakened your fruit trees
and berry patches.
Remember-the unusually heavy
rains this winter have washed out
much plant food.
Remember-available plant food
is low in the spring.
Nitrate of Soda will
furnish the cheapest form of nitro
gen for your trees.
Remember-if you add Nitrogen
early before the bloom. you will
have stronger blossom, more fruit
larger specimens and greatly i'm
proved vitality.
Remember-nearly all bearing
orchards and berry patches need
Nitrate of Soda.
Nitrate of Soda has
increased the yield of apples, prunes
and berries wherever it has been
tried in the northwest.
Observation-Disclosures of Soda is
cheap. It is the richest in immed-

Some Culling
Points i'm Brief
Volume l.

In all breeds or strains of fowls
there are poor-laying hens.
Production can be estimated to a
remarkably accurate degree by a
careful systematic application of
the culling method.
BY proper methods of feeding,
housing, and culling more eggs can
be produced from the same num-
Der of hens or the same number of
eggs from fewer hens.
One Of the greatest factors in
lowering the cost of egg production
is in increasing the productive
quality of the flock by rigid culling.
Culling should commence soon af-
ter the chicks are Matched and con-
tinue each month in the year.
1t is the average production of
your flock and not the number of
hens you are keeping that counts.
The general appearance and ac-
tions of your fowls are important III
estimating their value as a layer.
The poor layers are lazy, mac
tive, spend considerable time on
the perches and at feeding time
stay on the farther side of the
flock, as though ashamed to be seen.
The good layer is healthy and ac-
tive, has a good appetite, is not
nervous or flighty, comes up close
at feeding time, is usually singing
and happy and wants to be appre-
ciated. g..
The appearance of the comb is a
good indicator of the activity of the

superior to any that can be pur-

impossible to buy the best varieties
