Chard. usually spoken of as Swiss
chard, is a form Of beet with tleshy
leaf-stems grown mainly for use as
greens during early summer and fall.

Onions require mellow, rich soil
in fact, very few gardens are rich
enough to grow good onions without
some fertilizing. In preparing the soil
break it up with spading fork, work
ing into the top 3 or ! inches of we'll
rotted manure, suggest garden spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Ten pounds of
high-grude commercial fertilizer should
also be spread over each square rod OF
ground and well rukcd into the soil
a few days before planting the onion
sets" Poultry and sheep manure are
both good fertilizers for onions, but
must be used spuringly and well
mixed with the soil to prevent burn
ing the onion roots.
Require Frequent Stirring.
Onions grow very quickly and re-
quire frequent shallow stirring OF the
surface soil The usual method is to
plant the "Sers" in rows about 10
inches apart and 3 to inches apart
in the rows, covering them just 81 the
tops will be below the surface. a mar
row steel rake is a good tool for work
ing between the rows at first, but later
as the onions attain some size wheel
hoe can be used. For the very hrst
working and for getting between the
individual plants in the rows there Is
nothing better than a short piece OF
lath with three wire brads driven
through it at one end, making what Is
known as a "scratcher." BY and ~

MARION FARMERS FIRST
To REPLACE ALL SCRUBS

Marion county farmers are the
first ones in Kentucky to rid their
farms of scrub cattle sires in the
drive being conducted over the state
for improved livestock, the last
scrub having been disposed of with
fitting ceremonies, according to a
report from County Agent Childress.
The county now has 90 registered
sires and "a of good breeding. Far
mers who are the owners of high
grade sires are planning to improve
their stock further by replacing them
with registered animals, according
to the report.
The replacement of scrubs with
animals of good breeding has been
the result of a1systematic drive con-
Quoted by the farmers fthe county
in cooperation with the county ag-
emit and the extension division of the
College of Agriculture. The drive
was started in the spring Of hits
year when a survey which was made
in each school district in the county
showed total of 120 sires, 20 Of
which were purebreds and 80 scrubs
or grades. Sentiment was immedi-
ately raised in opposition to scrub
sires by means of meetings held in
different parts Of the county to
which business men, farmers and
cattle breeders were invited. Breed
ers in the county agreed to sell pure
bred animals at reasonable price
to farmers who woul eliminate the
scrub sires from their farms and
from that time on teh downfall Of
inferior breeding animals was made
rapid.

CANCER WEEK

Every county medical society in
Kentucky will hold symposium on
cancer during the week from Octo-

Kentucky's observance of "Cancer
Week." DR.. Irwin Linderberger, state
chairman of the committee that is

"While thousands Of persons are
dying every year Of this dread dis
ease," he said, 'it is durable il de-
tected in its earlier stages. Carry
ing knowledge of this fact to the
people of Kentucky is one of the
objects of the present campaign.
The other object is to emphasize the
fact that, where this early diagnosis
has been had, the person suffering
Immediately should obtain the best
medical treatment procurable.
"Any unnatural lump or hardness
is to be regarded as potential cancer
until proved by competent examina-
ton to be otherwise. That is espe-
cially true Of the breast, abdomen,
lips and mouth. Any enlargement
or tumor in any portion of the body
which can be detected by sight or
touch, which persists and which in
creases in extent, should be sub
jected to examination by those com
petent to make it.
"Cancer invariably begins as a
local disease and if recognized at
this stage can surely and permanent
ly cured if accessible. Any unnat-
ural discharges from the internal
organs, especially at and after the
age of 35, should be regarded with
special suspicion"

I. H. Rossbottom, general manager
Of the United States Lines, said yes
terday that he was hopeful of manning
the vessels of the line with all-Ameri-
can crews except for stewards Ameri
cans didn't fit in as stewards and wait
ers, he said, and he doubted whether
those departments ever would be all
American or anywhere near it.
His statement was in reply to a let
ter which The Tribune received from
Bernard Durnin,r"of 359 Fifty-seyenth
Street, Brooklyn, who said that ex-ser-
vice men who sought jobs on American
vessels were turned down and that the
ships were manned in large part by
Germans
Mr.. Rossbottom said that the Ship
ping Board had been trying to man
the ships completely with Americans
ever since it took charge of them in
September. At the end of each voyage,
ne said, aliens were discharged and
their places given to Americans. AL
ways, he said, preference was given to
FORMER service men, and if any had
