Kaufman is a government music stu
dent.
The secret of Kaufman's unusual
accomplishment has bafiled voice ex-
perts as well as himself. Several
years ago he discovered his ability to
produce overtones which gave the
sound of more than n part. He en-
tered the MacPhail school at Mime
apolls as a government student and,
as his voice strengthened and became
clearer, he developed the curious trio.
The only case remotely similar to
that of Kaufman, according to his In
structor in the government school, is
that of a oma singer In whose voice
could be distinguished one separate
overtone. over which she had practi-
cally no control. The former soldier
In some way has separated and con.
trolled tenor, bass and baritone parts

SEED MIXTURES ARE COSTLY
Much Advertised Clover Timothy Con-
tain Very Little Of Former--of
Little Value.

So-called clover-timothy seed mix
lures, which are widely advertised
by certain seed firms at what may
appear to be attractive prices, often
contain sc little alsike or red clover
that they are of little, II any, more
value than timothy seed, but actually
cost nearly double the market price
of that seed, say specialists Of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. These mixtures are usually
offered by the bushel. followed by the
qualifying statement that a bushel
weighs only 40 pounds.
In other words, this seed is offered
as clover and timothy with the claim
that the different seeds occur In the
proper proportions for seeding. while
frequently there Is not more than 5
or Q per cent of clover present--not
enough to be of any value In the crop.
Persons who buy mixed seed can
not be too careful to learn the exact
proportion Of the mixtures they get
and the quality Of the seed composing
them. Otherwise. they are likely to
pay an exorbitant price for seed that
will not give the crop wanted.

BUSH VELVET BEAN FAVORED
Particularly Useful With Corn as u
Does Not Make Harvesting a
Difficult Problem.

Reports from 400 cooperators Of the
United States Department Of Agricul.
ture who tested bush velvet bean IN
1920 for the first time are highly
commendatory. Three-fourths Of
those reporting consider the bean a
market success, and over half Of them
believe 1t to be superior to any other
variety. everything taken into con-
s~ideration. Two uses Of the bean
meet with particularly enthusiastic
praise. First, Is its use in corn,
where Its nontwining habit is very
desirable, as 1t does not pull the corn
down and make harvesting difficult
as do the twining varieties. Second.
Il is found Ideal as a cover and greer
manure crop In citrus orchards, being
far superior for this purpose to any
other legume yet found. Its use
should considerably reduce the fer
tilizer blu for citrus orchards.

POOR LEAD TO OBTAIN SPLIT
Attempt to Arouse indignation over
"horror on the Rhine" Proves
Dismal Failure.

The Germanophile attempt to
arouse American indignation over the
horror on the Rhine and thereby to
lead to q split, spiritual rather than
diplomatic, between America and her
recent allies has failed of Its purpose
In precisely the same way that Ger
man propaganda In this country failed
In every n of the years between
1914 and 1918" says an editorial in
the American Legion Weekly.
"The truth is merely that the Ger
man do moi know how to go about
1t. 'Kultur' obviously does not include
any knowledge Of the fine art of get
ting something over, a fact amply at
tested by the reflex action which has
accompanied the present attempt. The
Won Mach style Of responsiveness Is
no more subtle than the efforts of a
st. Bernard puppy to stand up on a
hardwood floor. II Is flatterlng the
Won Mach type of boring from within
TO call Its insldlous. Insldious II Is,
however, In Its intent II not In Its ap-
pllcation.
"Dr. Won Mach has proved himself
a poor servant Of his country, wheth-
er he regards his country as America
or Germany. He is a poor American
for having tried to win America over
TO the point Of view of the unrepen-
tant nation to defeat whose govern
ment 100000 Americans gave their
lives, for attempting to resurrect q
hyphen that was theoretically buried
Just three years ago. He Is a poor
German because his clumslness has
served only to arous America to the
fact that she Is still at war with Ger

WATER MUST Be
GIVEN TO CROPS
Too Much Sprinkbng, However,
Often Proves Injurious to
Many OF Plants.
WAYS OF IRRIGATING GARDEN
Suggestions Given Showing How the
Work Should Be Done for Best
Results-Thorough Cultivation
Should BE Given.

Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture)
Garden crops drink lots OF water.
It is just as essential to their growth
as Is plantfood or sunlight. Prncti-
cally every home gardener who has
looked upon his thriving garden with
pride In the spring has experienced
various degrees OF lost hope during
midsummer droughts when the plants
he has worked with so carefully stand
with dropped heads for lack Of mois-
ture. Experienced gardeners always
provide some means of supplying
moisture to keep their gardens grow
ing vigorously through dry spells. Va
rious ways OF irrlgntlng gardens are
outlined by garden specialists Of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture.
The essentials for the successful
watering of garden crops, they say,
are, first, an adequate supply of wa
ter, and second, suitable means Of dis
tributing 1t to the plants. Whenever
the garden Is within reach OF n city
water supply a hose can be used to
advantage, drawing water from the
regular piping system. Where a sup
ply Of this kind is not available, often
II Is possible to pump water with a
small gas engine and n pump. The
source Of water will vary with local
conditions, and each gardener must
work out his own problem, but there
are well-defined principles regarding
Its application.
Too Much sprinkiino Injurious.
Frequent %sprlnkling OF garden
plants and the surface soil with the
hose usually does more harm than
good. The best results can be real
lied where water Is applied only after
the soil has become reasonably dry,
and the plants are almost at the point
Of showing the need Of water. The
soil should then be well soaked, and
no more water applied until 1t is again
fairly dry. In the meantime thor
ough cultivation should be giyen, be-
ginning as soon as the surface soil
Is dry enough to work.
There are three distinct methods of
applying the water. The overhead
sprinkler system, used by many mar
ket gardeners, consists Of pipe Y inch
or j inch In diameter with a line OF
holes Of about 1872 inch In diameter
drilled at intervals of every 2 feet
along n side. The pipe is support
ed on lines of stakes driven in the
ground across the garden. One end
is capped or plugged, and to the other
connection Is made with the water

LATE CROP AFTER POTATOES
Corn Can Be Planted Between Rows
About Two Weeks Before Tubers
Are Harvested.

In most sections the early potatoes
can be followed by a late crop of sweet
corn planted between the rows of po-
tatoes about two weeks before the
potatoes are dug. Late cabbage plants
can be set between the rows Of po-
t%atoes, then the soil worked about the
cabbage plants when the potatoes are
dug. Turnips can be grown broadcast
on the land after early potatoes. Late
potatoes, planted about June l to 20
in the north and late In July In the
south, occupy the ground until frost
and produce the main supply for win.

The variety Of potatoes to plant will
depend largely upon locality. Irish

rleties while Rural New Yorker, Early
Ohio, Triumph, Green Mountain, and
others are grown extensively. Plant
the variety most commonly grown In
the locality. but be sure that the seed
Is free from disease and is in good,

Do not plant potatoes too deep.
FOUR inches Is about the proper depth.
Leave the surface almost level and
see that there are no clods, stones, or
pieces of sod directly over the hills.
potatoes are one Of the first garden
crops to plant In the sprlngtime, and
II is safe TO put the seed in the ground
two or three weeks before the date
OF the last heavy frost. In case there
Is likely TO be a freeze after the plants
come up, cover them with an inch or
two Of loose earth to protect them.
They may be uncovered as oon as
