WHEEL HOE IS LABOR SAVER
Little Implement Suitable for Small or
LARGE Garden; TroweIs Are Handy;
Spraying Outfits Are Es-

With the first warm days OF spring
sounding the earth call, there is a
hasty scurrying around for the tools
Of the gardening cult. A gardener can
get along fairly well with four, spade
or spading fork, a hoe, rake, and a
trowel 1t Is even possible to get along
without the last, but who wants to?
The art of gardening IS reaching
such point Of special development
that there are tools for almost every
thing and the wise gardener by care
full selection will ease his work as
much as possible by securing appro-
pirate working implements.
The greatest labor saver for gardens
Of any extent Is little wheel hoe.
This saves many a headache, does the
work thoroughly, and has appliances
for various purposes which are inter
changeable from a little pillow share
to cultivatOrs of various kinds. 1t can
be used in the smallest garden.
There are numerous hoes of various
types and designed for different pur-

AN EXPERIMENT IN
HIGHWAY BUILDING
The Moore System for High
ways Being Tried Out
In Ouachita.

Monroe, LA new type of highway
is under construction in Ouachita par
ish that is being watched with inter-
est by engineers and road builders gen.
orally. It is known as the Monroe
Invisible Trackway Road" and is the
patented invention of Stuart B. Moore
of Houston, formerly construction en-
gineer of the Atlantic lines of the
Southern Pacific railroad.
Mr.. Moore got his idea from railroad
construction AS railroad trains travel
on rails that withstand the weight and
burden, he figured similar principle
could be applied with success fully to
public highways. His plan Is to con-
struct two parallel lines of reinforced
concrete, eight inches in thickness and
twenty inches wide, for the wheels OF
vehicles, to serve as track for them.
The space between the concrete
tracks, forty inches, and spaces four
teen inches wide on each side of the
concrete are to be filled with gravel

the concrete and the gravel or broken
rock one and one half inches Of asphalt
will be laid. Asphalt is to be used on
the road here, but warranite or btu
lithic paving can be substituted for
asphalt on roads IL desired. Macadam
also can be used if engineers wish to
dispense with asphalt, ,-arranite or
btulithic.
Mr. Moore laid his plan before the
Ouachita parish police jury and that
body decided to give it a test The
jurors entered into contract for the
construction of half mile of the new
type of highway. A section of the
Monroe and Columbia road, south of
the city limits. was selected for that
purpose, and the work now is under
way.

from the local seedsmen or from neigh
bors who have had experience In grow
Ing 1t.
Rhubarb is propagated by planting
pieces Of the roots secured by divid-
ing older hills, and six to ten hills will
usually supply plenty of rhubarb for
the average family, states the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Rhubarb should be planted exactly
the same way as asparagus, that Is,
the roots or crowns should be covered
four or five inches in deeply spaded
and well enriched soil; there Is little
danger Of having the soil too rich for
rhubarb. The hills should be three
and half to four feet apart, If more
than one row is planted.
The thick leaf stems are the part
used, and none should be pulled from
the plants the first year after seeding
but large supply will be available
the second season, and the hills WILL
as a rule, continue to produce salts
factory crops Of stems for several
years, after which they should be d.
vided and reset.
Rhubarb should receive the same
attention and treatment during win
ter as asparagus, and the plants
should never be allowed to ripen and
seed. The roots may be brought into
the greenhouse. pit, coldframe, or cell
lar during the winter and forced.
BY placing barrel over rhubarb
plant much longer and tender stalks
may be grown.
This is one plant that does not thrive
In warm climates. 1t Is most popular,
especially In the sections where It is
grown, in the early part of the spring.

Double Duty and Help Save
Valuable Space.

It is common practice with many
small home owners who are fortunate
enough to have few grape vines to
neglect the arbOrs or trellis on which
the grape vines are trained.
While the older type of arbor-the
one with the shed roof style Of COW
ering-is favored by many-it is gener-
ally conceded that the upright. or wire
trellis plan is the better one, not only
because more sunlight and air get to
the vines, but the vines can be gotten
at for pruning and spraying-b0th Of
which are absolutely necessary.
