Creation of Department Of Refer
enda Announced.

The Chamber Of Commerce of the Unit
ed States today announced creation of
department Of resolutions and referenda,
Ernest N. Smith, formerly general sec
retary of the Indianapolis Chamber of
Commerce, has been made manager of
the department.
Policies advocated by the national
chamber are determined by the vote of
it's membership, either in meetings or
by referendum. Only questions of broad
national interest and Importance are
considered The purpose of the new
department will be to give a maximum
effect to those expressions of business
opinion. To carry. any proposal has to
command at least two-thirds of the
votes recorded.
After a referendum vote is taken. it
will be the duty of the new department
to present the policies advocated to
Congress and the government depart
ment, and to trades and professions or
establishments most concerned in the
particular subject.

SEED MIXTURES ARE COSTLY
Much Advertised Glover Timothy Con-

Little Value.

SO-called clOver-timOthy seed mix
lures, which are widely advertised
by certain seed firms at what may
appear to be attractive prices, often
contain so little alsike or red clover
that they are of little, If any, more
value than timothy seed, but actually
cost nearly double the market price
Of that seed, say specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. These mixtures are usually
offered by the bushel, followed: by the
qualifying statement thAt a bushel
weighs only As pounds.
In other words, this seed is offered
as clover and timothy with the claim
that the different seeds occur in the
proper proportions for seeding, while
frequently there Is not more than s
or 6 per CEN Of clover presehtLnot
enough to be Of any value in the crop.
Persons who buy mixed seed Can
not be too careful to learn the exact
proportion Of the mixtures they get
and the quality Of the seed composing
them. Otherwise, they are likely to
pay an exorbitant price for seed that
will not give the crop wanted.

Ancient Perfumes.

Perfume plays a large part In the
affairs Of the wOrld-a much larger
part than the average person casually
thinks. Pleasing scents have had
their influence In the affairs Of man.
kind for so many centuries that refer
ence to them may be found In the old
est chronicles.
According to Homer, Circe augment
ed her charms by amounting herself
with various perfumes, and 1t was by
the harmony Of these perfumes that
she bewitched Ulysses. Violet was the
favorite perfume with the Athenians
at feasts, funerals and other cere-
monies. There were fountains OF fra
grant waters at the feasts of Nero. The
perfumery-makers of the old time COM
bined the scents of roses from Cyrene,
violets from Athens, balsams from the
orient and henna flAyers from Egypt.
Incense was burned at pagan rites and
in Hebrew temples centuries before the
birth Of our Lord, and ardent YER
vain was offered up by the Gauls In
their ancient rites. Great value was
given to the use of perfumery in Eu-
rope by the returned Crusaders. who
learned to value 1t during their travels
and trials In the east.

pump by means of q hose. The water
is discharged at any desired angle or
direction through the small holes on
the side Of the pipe. Water should be
applied by the sprinkler system only
during the latter part Of the day or
in the evening so that it will have
plenty of time to soak into the soil
overnight. An abundance Of water
should be put or at one time, and
then no more applied until the plants
really need it.
Expensive but Effective.
Subirrigation OF underground water
ing is practiced in many localities, es-
pecially where the subsOil is rather
close, and does not allow the water to
flow away freely. Lines Of ordinary
open-joint dEain tile, such as are used
on farms for draining land, are en-
ployed. The tiles are laid in lines 4
to 8 feet apart, at a depth Of Is to 18
inches, so they will not be disturbed
In blowing. In laying the tile the lines
should be level and the joints placed
close together. The water will flow
through the tiles and escape at the
joints into the soil. This is perhaps
the best method of applying water to
garden crops wherever the conditions
are suitable for its use, as the water
goes direct to the roots Of the plants
and the surface remains dry, making
it possible to keep up continuous cul-
tivation. The objection to the system
Is that it is rather expensive to install,
but when once In place it will serve
tor many years.

Many of Plants.
WAYS OF IRRIGATNG GARDEN
Suggestions Given Showing How the
Work Should Be Don for Best
ResuIts-Thorough Cultivation
Should Be Given.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of ~Agriculture.)
Garden crops drink lots Of water.
II is just as essential to their growth
as Is plantfOOd or sunlight. Practi-
cally every home gardener who has
looked upon his thriving garden with
pride in the spring has experienced
various degrees of lost hope during
midsummer drOughts when the plants
he has worked with so carefully stand
with dropped heads for lack of mois-
ture. Experienced gardeners always
provide some means of supplying
moisture 10 keep their gardens grow
ing vigorously through dry spells. Va
rious ways of irrigating gardens are
outlined by garden specialists of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture.
The essentials for the successful
watering of garden crops, they say,
are, first, an adequate supply of wa
ter, and second, suitable means of dis
tributing it to the plants. Whenever
the garden is within reach of a city
water supply a hose al be used to
advantage, drawing water from the
regular piping system. Where a sup
ply of this kind is not available, often
1t is possible to pump water with a
small gas engine and q pump. The
source Of water will vary with local
conditions, and each gardener must
work u his own problem, but there
are well-defined principles regarding
It's application.
Too Much SprinkIing Injurious.
Frequent sprinkling of garden
plants and the surface soil with the
hose usually does more harm than
good. The best results can be real
lied where water is applied only after
the soil has become reasonably dry,
and the plants arc almost at the point
of showing the need of water. The
soil should then be well soaked, and
10 more water applied until it is again
fairly dry. In the meantime thor
Ough cultivation should be given, be-
ginning as soon as the surface soil
Is dry enough to work.
There are three distinct methods of
applying the water. The overhead
sprinkler system, used by many mar
ket gardeners, consists of pipe q inch
or l inch in diameter with a line of
holes of about 1.32 inch in diameter
drilled at intervals of every . feet
along one side. The pipe is support
ed on lines Of stakes driven in the
ground across the garden. One end
is capped or plugged, and to the other
connection is made with the water

LIME BENEFICIAL TO SOILS
Particularly Advantageous to Garden
Plot and viii Also Correct
Sourness Of Land.

An application Of about so pounds
Of hydrated or air-slaked lime to a
garden plot 80 by 60 feet In size win
often prove beneficial. Lime has the
effect of ~loosening and pulverizing any
heavy clay soil and Of binding loose,
sandy soil. Lime also corrects sourness
in the soil, which Is often due to lack
of drainage, but In a case Of this kind
drainage should be secured.
