Perennial Crops Will Add
Value to the Home Garden

Paintings of perennial fruit and
vegetables add to the interest and
value of every home garden. In ad-
dition to the small fruits there are
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 Is to 20 feet square in one
corner of the garden will supply all
of the asparagus needed by an aver
age family.
A few hills of rhubarb in sections
where 1t 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, tara
gon and 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 walk where they require
no extra space.
In planning, the garden, plant the
perennial things where they will not
interfere with the preparation of the
ground and the cultivation of the
regular vegetable garden.

The speed with which the treaties

such campaign, ano within three
months after the council the first
attack was made. Many settlers In

NORTHWEST GRAIN
GROWERS DISCUSS
NATIONAL AGENCY
Wheat Men at Spokane Con-

OPP Marketing.

Plans for joining a farmers ma
tional selling agency being formed
by the national committee of II, ap-
pointed to investigate agricultural
conditions Of the United States, were
considered by grain growers of Wash
inqton, Oregon and Idaho at a meet
ing Thursday at the Davenport hotel,
Spokane. w. G. Eckhardt Of Chi
caao was the principal speaker.
George c. Jewett, general manager
of the Washington Wheat Growers
association, has stated that the
Northwest Wheat exchange, recently
organized, would consider proposal
to cooperate with the national or
ganization.
This meeting was attended by rep
resentatives of the Washington and
Idaho associations, farmers union,
Spokane county farm bureaus and
other organizations, several of which
were in session for the convention Of
the state farm bureau and the North
west Livestock association Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday.
The national selling plan provides
for three primary elements:
I. The grain grower.
\ 2. The local cooperative elevator
company or grain growers associa-
ton, and
8. The central sales association.

and thoroughly drained spot, dig a
pit ~ to IS inches deep and little
larger than the bed is to be made.
Throw the good top soil to one side
and the bottom soil to the other side.
For two-sash bed about one good
wagonload of fresh hOrse-stable ma
nure will be required. The manure
should be thrown in fiat pile a few
feet away from where the bed is to
be constructed and the pile turned
about twice at intervals of three or
four days. AS it is turned the outer
portion of the pile is thrown to the
middle and the inner portion to the
outside, in order to get uniform heat
ing throughout. Then put the man.
ure into the pit, each forkful being
shaken to break it apart and spread
it evenly. 1t should be well tramped.
Put in layer about three inches
deep, then another layer, treading
each until the pit has been filled
level with the ground. In case the
manure is rather dry. a little water
should be sprinkled over it as it is
spread in the bed. 1t should be just
moist enough to pack reasonably
solid but springy under the feet.
The Frame.
The frame of the bed, made of
wood, is then set on top of the man
ure and the earth from the bottom
of the pit banked up outside of the
frame to keep out the cold. The
north side of the frame should be six
inches higher than the south side
The good soil from the surface OF
the pit is spread on the packed
manure. 1t is good plan to mix a
little well-rotted manure with this
soil. A very light sprinkling of fer
tilizer, so little that 1t can scarcely
be seen, will be beneficial.
Put the sash on and leave the bed
to heat for several days. First the
| manure will become very hot, then
after two or three days it will grad

MAY QUIT POST

Washington, D. c. Lloyd George
will resign his post as prime minister
of the British empire unless the Irish
problem is solved within the next few
weeks.
This statement was made by one of
the members of the British delegation
to the disarmament conference, man
in close touch with the prime minister
and his Intimate friend.
His decision to resign unless an
agreement is reached soon was one
reason which prompted him to aban-
don the trip to Washington with the
British delegation to the disarmament
conference. He did not wish to take
decisions for the British empire which
would be binding on his successor and
then quit office.

The known building programme in
the same terms are:

ARMS DELEGATES
RESERVE COMMENT
Permanent Reduction in Navies
Is Objective of Hughes
Proposal.

Washington, D. C.-Delegates to the
arms conference slowly recovered
from the shock of Secretary Hughes
blunt presentation of the proposal for
immediate reduction Of the fleets of
Great Britain, the United States and
Japan and for a ten-year naval holiday.
Spokesman for Britain and Japan were
rather guarded in their comments.
Apparently the American plan is far
more than a 10 year naval holiday
coupled with immediate heavy reduc-
ton of the fleets of the three powers.
Beyond that is a third, equally blunt
suggestion for continuing agreement
to limit the size of battle fleets per-
manently That is what Mr.. Hughes
naval replacement really amounts to.
In naming ships to which each main
battle fleet would be cut if the Amer
lean plan for immediate reduction
were accepted, Secretary Hughes
statement shows that Great Britain
and the United States would be on an
equality in the number of battleships,
but the British would retain in addi-
ton four battle cruisers. The pro-
posed Japanese fleet would be com
posed of six battleships and four battle
cruisers, while the United States
would be content with battleships
alone.
Naval officers, in discussing the
proposal, emphasized as an outstand-
ing feature the fact that the United
States would be left without battle
cruisers, while Japan and Great Brit
ain would each retain four Of these
ships, the newest addition to capital
fighting craft, By suggesting such a
program it appears that the United
States sought to convey concrete as
surance of the unselfish purpose with
which it has entered the conference,
