PEPPER PLANTS NEED
EXTRA CARE TO GROW
Few Plants Required by the Az
erage Family.
Prepare Seed Bed by ForkTng Or
sPading to Depth Of Q or Q 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 pepi
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 1t 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 a
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 q
depth of eight or nine inches. At the
same time work in some well-rotted ma
nure and large handful of CONNER
clal fertilizer to each square yard Of
space. This should be done at least a
week before the pepper plants are set
out. Then loosen the surface thor
oughly at the time the plants are set.
Frequent cultivation is necessary, and
an occasional application Of weak IL
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 OFF
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-
to picked peppers. The pimentO pep
pers can be used in the same way as
the regular sweet peppers, or they may
be left on the plants until red ripe,
then used for canning.

PREVENT HAY FROM HEATING
Department of Agriculture Experts
Recommend Use of ventlIators
of LattlceWork.

Hay, especially alfalfa or clover, is
likely to suffer damage through heat
ing in the barn. This can be prevented
by ventilation. To yentilate hay barn
the United States Department of Agri-
culture experts recommend the use of
lattice ventilators II to Is inches
square and as long as convenient.
These ventilators, which look some
what like elongated crates, are made
with corners consisting of 2 by 4
scantlings Slated together with mar
row boards IL to 15 inches long. They
should be braced to prevent crushing.
The ventilators are laid in the hay
10 or II feet apart horizontally and
far enough apart vertically so that the
distance will not be more than 8 or 10
feeA.aiter the hay has settled. The
ends should come out to the edge of
the hay so as to permit free passage
Of air. This will permit the carrying
off of steam caused by evaporation and
will preserve the hay and prevent over
heating. The ventilators can be made
of various sizes of material, and, If
strongly constructed, will last many,
years.

this theory is correct the weed-control
problem 0yershadows all others with
which the farmer is confronted. Mod
ern agricultural science has discovered
much concerning the control and Grad
ication Of these insidious land thieves.
The wild onion, for example, was con-
sldered hopeless problem from Mas
sachusetts to Georgia, and as far west
as Missouri and Arkansas until weed
specialist in the Department Of Agri-
culture discovered that the plant pro-
duced two kinds of bulbs. One type
plants during late summer and fall |;
the other was hard so that 1t was un-
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 plowing 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 roadside can be con-
verted into lawn, or 1t can be used
for crops, to the pride and profit Of
the farmers whose land it borders.
Control Measures.
The underlying principles of weed
control are shown In these rules by
the specialists Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture:
Use pure seed.
Rotate the farm crops.
Utilize pasturing animals, particu-
larly sheep and goats, in keeping
weeds down.
Never allow weeds to mature. Now
before the seeds have ripened.
Use intertilled crops, and cultivate
often.
Kill weeds while they are young by
means Of a harrow or weeder.
Compost manure for two months be-
fore using If 1t contains weed seeds.
Practice surface cultivation after
the crops have been removed in the
fall.
Use smother crops; buckwheat, soy
beans, cowpeas. velvet beans, clover.
etc.
Chemical poisons often are helpful.
Prepare the seed beds thoroughly to
give the crop start over the weeds.
Use winter cover crops.
Hunt out the scattered weeds, and
kill them.
Nov dangerous grasses and burn
the dry cuttings.
Small patches of perennial weeds
can be killed by covering for the en-
tire season with building paper, boards,
or other materials to exclude the light.
Kill the roots Of perennial weeds by
keeping the tops cut down.
Grow alfalfa, when practicable. on
weed-infested land.
Soil improvement by the use of lime
or green manure win help to control
the weeds.
Soillng crops prevent the weeds from
reaching maturity.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
30 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
ct all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

great preparation send ten cents to DR..
