PEPPER PLANTS NEED
EXTRA CARE TO GROW
Few Plants Required by the Az
erage Family.
Prepare Seed Bed by Forking Of
Spading to Depth of or 9 Inches,
Working In WeIl-Rotted Ma
nure and Fertilizer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Sweet peppers, sometimes called
Chinese peppers and Mammoth pep
pers, are becoming more and more pop
ular as crop for planting in the home
garden. Only few plants are neces-
sary to supply the family of average
size with all the peppers they will
want, but it takes good land and extra
care to produce peppers of high quail
ity, say garden specialists of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
Pepper plants are easily injured by
cold and the plants should be started
in the house. in a hotbed, or in
greenhouse. Perhaps the best way is
to purchase a dozen or so good plants
from some scotsman or plant grower.
In preparing the soil for peppers,
first spade or fork the land over to
depth of eight or nine inches. AT the
same time work in some well-rotted ma
nure and a large handful of CONNER
cial fertilizer to each square yard OF
space. This should be done at least q

out. Then loosen the surface thor
oughly at the time the plants are sci.
Frequent cultivation is necessary, and
an occasional application of weak Ii
quid manure to the soil around the
plants will keep them growing vigor-
ously. Large, tender peppers can only
be produced on thrifty plants, and in
order to keep the plants producing all
the peppers should be kept picked of
and none allowed to ripen.
Ruby King, Chinese Giant. and
Large Bell or Bull Nose are among the
leading varieties of the large sweet
peppers. Pimento peppers are mild in
flavor and are largely grown in the
Southern states for making the pimen-
10 picked peppers. The pimento pep
Ders can be used in the same way as
he regular sweet peppers, or they may

| knowledge of Weed characteristics
Provides Means Of Control.

this theory is correct the weed-control
problem overshadows all others with
which the farmer is confronted. Mod
ern agricultural science has discovered
much concerning the control and Grad
ication of these insdious land thieves.
The wild onion, for example, was con-
sidered hopeless problem from Mas.
/ sachusetts to Georgia, and as far wese
| as Missouri and Arkansas until q weed
! specialist in the Department of Agr-
culture discovered that the plant pro-
duced two kinds of bulbs One type
was soft-coated, and formed the new
plants during late summer and fall;
the other was hard so that il was I'M
harmed by winter, and ready to form
the new plants in the spring. With
this to guide them the specialists
proved that the Wild onion can be con-
trolled by blowing deeply in the late
fall to destroy the plants originating
from the soft-coated bulbs, and by
planting an intertilled crop, such as
corn. the following spring to kill the |
plants that come up from the hard |
coated bulbs.
Weedy roadsides are constant
sources of trouble for the adjoining
farm lands. The seeds are carried
miles by automobiles, horses. and pass
ing wagons, so that they become a
menace to the whole community. If
nothing better can be done with the
roadside weeds they can be moved
twice year. This treatment, If well
kept up, will effectively check the trou-
bile. Sometimes a roadside can be con-
verified into lawn, or it can be used
for crops, to the pride and profit of
the farmers whose land 1t borders.

reached with the Introduction OF 46
letters alleged to have been written

The prosecution, however, was still
to present evidence tending to con-
meet Burch with the actual shooting

AS now under negotiation the agree
ment is to be limited to the Pacific
islands. Under the tentative proposals
each of the powers would agree to
consult each other before going to
war on any differences that might
arise relating to these islands.
Questions At Issue.
The questions at issue between the
United States and Japan relating to-
cable facilities and other matters af-
fecting the island of zap are to be
dealt with in a separate treaty which
was said to be near completion.
The proposed four-power agreement
to deal with the Pacific islands is said
to have already been given approval
in principle by British representatives
at the Washington conference. The
substance Of the proposed treaty also,
1t was said, has been cabled to Toxic
and Paris.
The formal responses of the British,
japanese and French governments
still remain to be received, however.
