SUCCESS
 OF CONFERENCE
 AT WASHINGTON
Bone Addresses Big Crowd at Legion Dance-Praises

Every right minded American should hope and pray that the Dis armament Conference, opening today at Washington, will help to make the peace of the world enduring and minimize, if not forever prevent, such outbreaks as blighted this early 20tt century," declared Governor Scot c. Bone in his speech at the Ameri can Legions Armistice dance last night In his address, Governor Bone praised highly the American Legion and it's principles.

 After the grand march, taps, the most striking of all army calls, were sounded by the bugler. Then came two minutes of absolute silence. A, the end of that time, Mrs. Scott C. Bone broke loose the Colors and men in uniform came to salute. Immedi ately the orchestra started up the Star Spangled Banner" and the crowd remained at attention until the air was finished. ,.=,s>.
 Speaks for Alaska
 In his speech which followed these ceremonies, Governor Bone said:
 'It is a privilege and an honor to have a part in the celebration of Ar mistice Day by this Juneau Post of the American Legion. I greet you all heartily. l greet you in the name of Alaska--in the name of this fine American Northland which responded so magnificently to every call of war and without giving mercenary thought to the profits of war.
 Ever Be Memorable
 To-day, at the national capital. the body of a fallen American soldier of the World War, brought home from France, was buried at Arlington with impressive pomp and ceremony. Homage unprecedented was paid to this unknown, unidentified youth in Khaki He was accorded the honors of a commanding general. The en- tire country came to pause in rev! erent, patriotic tribute to this un- named hero. Thus was Armistice Day signalized and made memorable It will ever be memorable. It takes its natal place with Memorial Day and succeeding years will see 1t fit tingly observed.
 Three years ago the country went wild over the glad news that the World War was at an end Rank was leveled. Banker and baker, million aire and candlestick-maker. men and women of high and humble station, joined in unrestrained merry-making in celebration of the event. They were comrades all. Their joy was unconfined. So it was the length and breadth of this blessed land of ours. Every city and hamlet gave vent to the happiness of that triumphant hour. Juneau was no exception.

CULTIVATE CORN

Prevents Soil CruSting.

sive Rains Have Packed Soil
Maintain Dust Mulch.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
From the time of termination to
maturity corn should be given every
opportunity to make q steady, sound
growth. If the development of the
plants is checked from any cause it
may reduce the yield no matter how
favorable the later treatment. The
most successful corn growers realize
the importance of thorough, early cul-
tivation in order to prevent any check
in the growth of the plants because of
weeds or crusted soil. AS a conse-
quence of heavy rainfall, the stalks
may increase rapidly in height and at
the same time, for lack of cultivation
or of soil fertility, or for other rea-
son, they may be slender, too tender,
or of poor color. Thrifty corn plants
are thick, strong, and of dark-green
color.
Use Weeder Soon After Planting.
Horse weeders and harrows should
be used when needed to break a sur
face crust, check insect depredations,
or kill young weeds that start before
the corn is up. While the plant is
very small, narrow shovels that throw
the soil but very little should be used,
and tenders are usually desirable to
prevent covering the plants.
Experience favors shallow cultiva-
tion, except if excessive rains have
no clzod thn soil whom dppn cultiva tion
will help to dry and aerate the ground.
In cultivating it is important to avoid
breaking the roots of the plants. If
the plants have reached a height of
2 or 8 feet the soil in the middle of
the rows should not be cultivated
deeper than 4 inches, and sometimes
less. For retaining soil moisture a
loose soil mulch 2 or 8 inches in
depth should be maintained.
The question is frequently asked
how often corn should be cultivated.

South spinach can be planted in Oc-
tober and remain in the open ground
all winter.
For growing spinach in the home
garden a bed about 5 feet in width and
25 or 30 feet in length should be spad-
ed and IA quantity of well-rotted ma
nure worked into the top inches Of
soil. Three pounds of commercial fer
tilizer should also be scattered over
the surface and well worked into the
soil. Six or eight ounces of seed viii
be sufficient for this space. Sow in
little drills or burrows running length
wise of the bed, the rows to be about
6 or inches apart. The seed should
be covered y Inch deep and the ,suiI
slightly firmed over it. Watering
may be necessary if the weather
should be extremely dry following the
planting, of the spinach seed.
Spinach grows quickly and requires
very little cultivation, except to loosen
the soil trifle between the rows and
keep weeds from getting a start. If
the plants are too thick-that is,
crowd each other-they can be thinned
out and those removed in thinning
cooked for greens. The plants left will
then have room to grow larger. Spin
ach is very desirable as an early spring
green, as it contains plenty Of iron and
other mineral matter. 1t should al
ways be used while young and tender.

QUALITIES OF FARM FENCES
To Give Satisfaction Barrier Must Be
Made to Turn All Stock Without
Injuring Them.

Farm fences should combine two
qualiies-service and economy-says
the United States Department of
Agriculture. To give satisfactory
service the fence must be constructed
so as to turn all kinds of stock with
out injuring them. To be economical
it must be built as cheaply as is con-
sistent with durability. The fence that
is erected at a low initial cost is not
necessarily economical, for it may be
so short that it will be very expen-
sive in the end.
The cost of maintaining a fa4 nj
fence Is determined by such factors
as interest, repairs, and depreciation
on the fence itself, interest on the
value of land rendered unusable, and
the expense of keeping down weeds
The cost of repairs and the annual
depreciation depend largely on the
construction. If fence is made Of
a cheap grade of material and is
cheaply constructed it will need fire.
uuent repair and will be short lived.
Such a fence will have a high repair
and depreciation charge, which In
most cases will more than counter
balance the increased investment cost
that the erection of more substantial
fence would require. If a fence is
made of good materials and is properly
built, its repair and depreciation
charges should be very low.
The efficiency of a fence depends
upon the quality of wire and posts
used and upon the manner of coR-
struction.
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1921-05-26

The answer is that it should be cul-
tivated often enough to keep down
weeds and to maintain constantly o
loose soil mulch until the corn has
attained its growth. A greater mum.
Der of civilizations will be necessary
when rains at intervals of about a
week cause the surface soil to run to

broken and the soil mulch restored

Of much of its moisture. An essential
object of cultivation is to restore the

SEES DEATH AS BEAUTIFUL
Writer Has Somewhat New Idea o
What Has Been Called the
"Great Adventure"

Mankind has always stood in awe
of death and wondered how 1T came
The ancient Hebrew story says it was
because man, tempted by woman, ate
of the tree of knowledge of good and
evil-death was the price of enlight.
eminent. And this is true. Only by
risking his safety can any one wresi
Natures secrets from her. The un.
known is full of perils and may easily
spell destruction for curious adven,
turerS.
And death is the price paid for an.
other great adventure.
There are microscopic creatures
that never die except by accident
Composed of single cells, they grow
for while and then divide, when
each half goes it's way as a new in.
'dividual until it, too, divides. Thus
life continues to increase, with nc
dead bodies left. But once upon a
time, ages ago, some of the cells be-
gan to do new thing. They divided
and subdivided, but still stuck to.
gether as different parts of one large
whole.
And this new adventure along the
path of life continued until large
complex creatures like man came into
being, with millions of millions OF
cells all acting together in different
ways for the good of the common body
But think of all the accidents that
would deform and cripple and finally
destroy such creature If it lived on
indefinitely. So nature provided that
when the rest of the cells stopped
dividing and the individual was full
grown, few of them should keep on
in the germ plasm-and that from
them should spring new creatures
like their parents at their best, to face
the world, while the bodies of theil
parents gradually withered away.
Thus in the higher animals and
plants, death matches birth. 1t is the
price man pays for his complex body
and the rich life it brings him; for
the love of woman, and for laughing
children, and for the privilege of go
ing out and fighting for them. Seen
in its proper setting, death is beauti

LIME coRREcTs SOUR SOILS
Application Will Prove Beneficial to
Small Garden Piot-5inds Loose,
Sandy Loans.

An application of about so pounds
of hydrated or air-slaked lime to 81
garden plot 30 by go feet in size Will
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.

A CHEERFUL NOTE

"All things are full of iniQuity and
vice; more crime is committed than
can be remedied by restraint. We
struggle in a huge contest Of Grimm
ality. Daily the passion for sin is
greater. The shame in committing 1t
is less" This is not the out
cry of one who looks with alarm upon
the orgies of the profteers, the oper-
ations of the auto bandits, the greed
Of landlords, and the pernicious ac-
