NEAT TRICKS IN GARDENING
One Of Best Is Laying Board over
Row OF Seeds 70 Start Them
and Hold Moisture.

There are great many little tricks
that should be learned and practiced
BY the gardener. II is not necessary
to be a wizard - practice these tricks
but Just good, common sense gar
1ener. One Of the best of these is the
use Of board laid over the row of
SEEDS for few days after planting to
hold the moisture and make the seeds
start during dry weather. Another Is
10 flood the furrow with water and all
low it to soak into the soil before
dropping the seeds, then cover with
dry earth. Slightly packing or firm
ing the dry soil over the seeds viii
help to bring the moisture to the sur
face and make the seeds grow. Car
den tricks are easy to perform--try
few and see the results in the form
of fresh vegetables for the table---it
means better living.

HOUSE FACES TAX, TARIFF BILLS
Senate Tries To Force Vacation For
Six Weeks

Washington-While the house this
week Is getting down to the real bus
mess for which President Harding call
ed congress, namely, the tariff and tax
bills, the senate will try to force in
surgents in it's midst to accept a vaca-
ton they don't want.
House leaders have virtually aban-
doned plans for six weeks hot
weather vacation. Instead they will
try to put both the tariff and tax bills
into the senate's hands by September
|. This admittedly means hard fast
work, because of the magnitude of the
two problems of revising the nations
internal revenue and customs laws.
House and estate leaders agree that
If Ii is possible both bills must be
handled in the special session. This
means they must be in Harding's hands
before December, when congress goes
into its regular session.
Senator Lodge will present recess
plan this week after the senate returns
on Tuesday from its holiday recess
and according to present plans, will
try to force 1t through.

The association packed all cucum-

each growers product thus being
graded BY a dlsinterested person. This
made for uniformity of the product.
Every car loaded by the association
was approximately 4 to per cent

every car inspected outside the central
packing house was below grade, rang
