Rhubarb, or 'pieplant," as 1t Is
sometimes called, cannot be grown uni
versally, but is limited to certain def
mite sections. Information as to
whether rhubarb will or will not grow
in a given locality can be obtained
from the local seedsmen Or from neigh
bors who have had experience in grow
ing it.
Rhuharb 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, tAat Is,
the roots or crowns should be covered
: four or five inches in deeply spaded

and we'll enriched soil; there is little
danger of having the soil too rich for
rhubarb. The hills should be three
and a half to four feet apart, If more
than one row is planted.
This wonderful staple of the family
garden can generally be planted along
the fence where it viii be out of the
way of cultivation.
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 di-
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 Gel
lar during the winter and forced.
BY placing a barrel over rhubart
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 II
grown, in the early part of the spring
The use of rhubarb is principally TO
making pies and sauces, and man,
housewives can the stems for white

Strong bones and teeth depend on
calcium; in combination with phos-
phorus it is their chief mineral ele-
ment. Milk is the most valuable food
to supply these compounds. Calcium
is also obtained from the outer coats
of grains, hence whole wheat, bran
foods, oatmeal and corn are all most
wholesome and necessary.
A generous supply Of vegetables and
fruit is also necessary as they furnish
iron In large proportions as wen as
other necessary minerals.

PROPOSED ARMY CUT
DEBATED BY SENATE

WASHINGTON. April Il. - The
question of military preparedness
arose Friday i'm the senate appro-
priauons committee during its con-
sideration Of the army apprOpria-
ton bill. Discussion of the subject
was brief, but senator's said the
question of a national policy had
grown out of the fight over the
house reduction in the size Of the
army.
Maj. Gen. J. c. Harbord, deputy
chief Of staff and Brig Gen. Will
liam Lassiter IN charge of military
operations and training, appeared be
fore the committee TO present the
war departments views on the sub
ject of the house cut, the former in
sisting that the organization was
strained TO the breaking point now
under the forced reduction of a year
ago. and the latter describing the
plan adopted by the department for
building up at low expense" the
forces required in a national emery

If the provision is not made for

then we who are charged with op-
Grafton and maintenance of the work
must ask congress to re-state for US
the mission of the army"
The statement followed a series o.

Harding was declared Friday at the

that tariff legislation should be given
precedence in the senate over the
soldiers bonus.
Although it was made clear that
the president had received no re
Uest from republican leaders in the
senate for advice as to which meas
ure should be taken up first, it is
understood that the views of both
the chief executive and the senator

Under present plans the tariff viii

Thursday, while the finance commit
tee takes up the bonus bill with the
possibility that it may make radical
changes in 1t as it was passed by
the house. When the bonus measure
has been reported to the senate. il
will be taken up for consideration
during lulls in the tariff debate. The
bonus bill is expected TO be ready
for senate consideration in about a
fortnight.

rector of the Farmers National
