prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Paintings of perennial fruit and
vegetables add to the interest and
value of every home garden. In 10.
calities where they rnay be grown,
some fruit trees and bush fruits should
be planted wherever space permits. In
addition to the small fruits there are
a few permanent vegetables which
should not be overlooked.
One of these is asparagus, which
will thrive almost anywhere, provided
it is planted in good soil. A plot of
ground 10 to 20 feet square in one
corner of the garden will supply all of
the asparagus needed by an average
family.
A few hills of rhubarb in sections
where it will grow can be planted
along the garden fence and furnish
the family supply. The same is true of
horse radish and of a number of the
herbs, including thyme, tarragon, sage.
Grapes of the type and variety
suited to the locality should always be
included in the home garden. These
can be grown on an arbor over the

BOBBY WANTED THAT AGATE
If Persistency Could Have Got 1t for
Him, We Must Admit He
Deserved 1t.

The older boys were playing mar
bles. Three-year-old Bobby wished
some agates like his brother had and
asked father for two cents to buy one
with. The money was given to him
and he Immediately wished to go to
the store to make the purchase. So
persistent did he become that father
said:
"If you don't keep still about that
agate I will take those pennies away
from you"
what will you do with the pennies
if you take them away?" he asked.
"Why, I'll put them back in my
purse"
"Will you take them uptown when
you go to the Officer"
Yes; l WILL"
After few moments reflection,
Bobby came back with:
And will you buy me an agate with
them?"

EARLY POTATOES
VERY IMPORTANT
Some Essential Points in Grow
ing That Average Gardener
Is Apt to Overlook.
FOOD SUPPLY MUST Be READY
aood, Plump, Disease-Free Seed and
Plenty of Fertilizer Are Essential
Keep Bugs OFF by Dust
ing or Spraying.

tPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Irish potatoes are grown in most
nome gardens, but there are Just a
few points in the potato growing game
tlnt the home gardener is likely to
overlook which are very important.
First of all, potatoes grow quickly, and
their food supply must be all ready
and waiting for them in the soil. Sec
nnd, they are heavy feeders and want
plenty to draw upon. In other words,
the soil for Irish potatoes must not
only be rich but it must be rich in
plant food of certain kinds. Land that
was well manured the previous sea-
son, and which contains plenty of or
ganic matter Is best The first step
In preparing the soil will be to spade
or plow it in to depth of eight or
nine inches, then break up the clods,
If there be any, and pulverize the soil
practically as deep as it is spaded or
plowed.
How to Use Fertilizer.
Common fertilizers give good re-
suits for growing potatoes, especially
If the fertilizer contains potash, us po-
/. tatoes require more potash than is
usually present in the soil. Fertilizer
manufacturers mix special brands for
potatoes, and these are generally rath-
er rich in potash. How much fertil-
izer to use will depend upon the fertil-
ity of the soil, but as rule eight
pounds to each 100 feet of row will
be about right. A good way to ap-
ply the fertilizer is to make the holes
or burrows and drop the pieces of seed
potato, cover them with an inch or
two of soil, then scatter the fertilizer
along the row so that it will become
well mixed with the soil in completing
the covering of the seed. Another
method is to scatter the fertilizer in
the furrow and mix it with the soil be-
fore dropping the pieces Of seed po-
tato.
Best Kind Of Seed.
Small, shriveled potatoes, left in the
bottom Of the barrel at the end of win
ter, are not fit for seed. Only plump,
disease-free potatoes, on which the
sprouts are beginning to start, should
be used for seed. Seed grown in
Maine, New York, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, or some other special seed produc-
ing section will as rule give best re-
suits. Seedsmen get the seed potatoes

LATE CROP AFTER POTATOES
Corn Can Be Planted Between Rows
About Two Weeks Before Tubers
Are Harvested.

In most sections the early potatoes
can be followed by late crop of sweet
corn planted between the rows of po-
tatoes about two weeks before the
potatoes are dug. Late cabbage plants
can be set between the rows of po-
tatoes, then the soil worked about the
cabbage plants when the potatoes are
dug. Turnips can be grown broadcast
on the land after early potatoes. Late
potatoes, planted about June 1 to 20
in the north and late in July in the
south, occupy the ground until frost
and produce the main supply for win
ter use.

Davis Would Register Aliens.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-All aliens in the
United States should be registered as
measure of safety, said Secretary of
Labor Davis, speaking at n Moose tes-
timonial banquet in his honor. "It is
time for us to register all aliens, that
we may know where they are" he
said. "The communist group among
them is well organized. They do not
come here to learn the principles of
our government, but to overthrow this
government. We must adopt system
of education to offset this communist
ic propaganda. There is no room in
America for any man that breaches
the overthrow of this government"

Potatoes Should Be Cut Into Chunky
Pieces With at Least One Eye to
Piece.

shipped in by the carload and then
sell them to gardeners in small guam
titles. 1t takes about ten bushels (6OO
pounds) of seed potatoes to plant an
acre. One bushel Of seed will plant
one-tenth of an acre, which is space
43 feet wide by 100 feet long. A peck
of seed potatoes 40 pounds) should
plant 800 feet of row, each potato be-
Ing cut into chunky pieces having at
least one good eye to a piece.
Seed potatoes should not be cut un-
til all ready to plant. Whenever seed
potatoes are cut and allowed to stand,
the cut surfaces dry out turn black
and the seed loses vitality very rap
ldly. Scabby or diseased seed pota-
toes should not be used for planting.
The variety of potatoes to plant will
depend largely upon locality. Irish
Cobbler Is one of the leading early va
rleties while Rural New Yorker, Early
Ohio, Triumph, Green Mountain, ana
others are grown extensively. Plant
the variety most commonly grown In
the locality, but be sure that the seed
ia free from disease and is in good,
sound condition.
Do not plant potatoes too deep.
-Four inches is about the proper depth.
Leave the surface almost level and
nee that there are no clods, stones, or
pieces Of sod directly over the hills.
notatoes are one of the first garden
crops to plant in the springtime, and

Berlin, May 9.-German reports de-
clare advices from Upper Silesia show
no diminution in the gravity of the
situation. Polish irregulars were re-
ported planning attacks against some
large towns, and their onslaught on
KOenigshutte is declared by the Vos-
siSche Zeitung to have been successful,
the town surrendering
kandrzin, near Kosel, was given up
by the Germans after they had suf-
fered severe losses.
Warsaw.-In the face of increasing
clashes between the insurgents and
Germans, Poland has decided on Wig
orous plan of action in an attempt to
settle the insurrection initiated by
Adelbert Korfanty, with the object of
joining the industrial section of Upper
Silesia to Poland.
The Polish cabinet has issued
statement saying that while the min.
istry understood the patriotic motive
which led to the outbreak, the govern
ment again disapproved of the insur-
rection.,
One problem Poland is compelled to
face is the efforts of Poles to aid the
insurgents.
Dispatches report 10000 armed
worllmen from East Silesia have at
tempted TO cross the frontier to assist
the insurgents, but all were turned
back by Polish authorities.
Pitched encounters between the in
surgents and the Germans have oc-
Cured in the Rybnik district, where,
according to Polish reports, more than
$50 Poles have been killed and many
wounded, while the German casualties
were heavier.
In fight for possession of Fried
erichshutte, a foundry center, more
than thirty Poles We're killed.
Despite efforts of the government to
smooths public opinion, demonstra-
tions are being held here daily by the
labor parties, urging continuance of
the struggle.
Repeated demonstrations have oc-
Cured before the British and Italian
legations.
There is noticeable increase in the
press and in public speeches of the
feeling against Italian interference be-
tween the insurgents and the Germans.
Poland is preparing another note to

of the action of the insurgents in ST.

BOMB EXPLODED UNDER
IMAGE OF NOTED VIRGIN
Church in Mexico Crowded as Ex-
plosion Takes Place on Altar.
Perpetrator Caught.

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITH. November 14.-While
a religious ceremony was in progress
at the Guadalupe Cathedral this
morning, a bomb was exploded on
the altar below the image of the
casualties, though the church was
crowded at the time, and no serious
damage was done.
The author of the outrage was
arrested shortly afterward, the police
saving him from being lynched by an
excited mob.
The town of Guadalupe Is within a
few miles of Mexico City. It is the
Lourdes or Mecca of Mexico. to which
the Indian population from all over
the republic flock in large caravans
to pay homage to the Virgin of
Guadalupe, the patron of Mexico. Ac-
cording to tradition, the Virgin ap-
peared on a hill before a humble
Indian, demanding that the Church
be erected on the hilltop. The Indian
sought out the church authorities
and showed them a piece of cloth on
which the picture of the Virgin was
painted in colors.
The cathedral was erected and the
cloth on which the image was paint
ed has since been carefully pre-
served. The outrage today appeared
to be an attempt to destroy the image,
but only the base of the altar was
damaged. The rich frame in which
the image is contained remained in
tact. The worshipers attributed this
to miracle.
