RICH, SANDY LOAM FOR BEETS
Frosts Are Due; Ready for Use in Few Weeks.

Garden beets may be grown in any good soil, but thrive best on rich, sandy loam. The seed can be sown about the time the last frosts are due, and the young beets will be ready for use in to weeks.
 Later plantings will give a success sion and provide beets for winter storage The seed should be sown in a drill with about 8 or 10 seed balls to the foot. It should be borne in mind that each seed ball contains from

 Elements in Fertilizers.

Elements in Fertilizers.
 The three main elements of plant food contained in commercial fertilizers are phosphorie acid, nitrogen, and potash. Nitrogen has the effect of stimulating the leaf growth, and phos- phoric acid and potash have tendency to increase root growth and to mature the seeds of the plants. Root crops and potatoes require a reasonable amount of potash. Corn, beans. and others of the garden crops, which are grown for their pods or seeds, want a sufficient supply Of phosphoric acid, while let tuce, celery. swiss ehard, and others of the salad or leaf crops requirs plenty of nitrogen. The safest plan however, is to apply an all-round 0l complete fertilizer having approxi mately s per cent phosphoric acid, 1 or per cent nitrogen. and 2 or 3 per cent potash on land that is to be de voted to general garden crops.

Amount Needed in Garden.

Market gardeners frequently use as mucl~ as POGO pounds of commercial fertilizer on an acre of ground. This would be at the rate of about f or . pounds to plot of ground 10 feet in each direction or 100 square feet. As suming that the average backyard garden Is abodt 20 by 60 feet in size. 20 to 70 pounds of standard. high-grade truckers fertilizer would be all that would be safe to apply on a garden of those dimensions. Under most con- ditions 50 pounds will be the maximum amount to use.
 Commercial fertilizers are usually put up in sacks containing 100 167 or POO pounds, and good plan would be for two or more gardeners to join together In buying fertilizer.

Methods of Application.

There are two or three methods of applying commercial fertilizers. The first and most common is by scattering the fertilizer broadcast over the land after IL has been plowed and narrowed, then giving the soil a second and even a third narrowing to mix the fertilizer with 1t thoroughly. Another method Is to apply the fertilizer underneath the rows, the plan being to open the fur rows. scatter in the fertilizer. then, by means of single-shovel blow or wheel hoe, thoroughly mix the fertilizer with the soil in the bottom of the fur row. The surface soil is then re turned and no seeds are planted for a few days until the fertilizer becomes thoroughly incorporated with the soil.
 The third method of applying com mercIal fertilizers is to use them us a top or side dressing along the rows of plants during the period of growth. Nitrate of soda and fertilizer mixtures containing considerable percentage of nitrogen are generally used for this purpose. When using fertilizer as a side dressing care should be taken that Ii Is not applied too near the base Of the plants. but at little distance from the rew. and then |, should be culti- .aied Into the upper or inches of

PRETTY SOFT FOR A FEW.

Somebody is always bobbing up with
the suggestion that we should make
a present of the ten billions we have
in war loans over there. 1t is worth
while to recall that the great private
financial interests of this country
have much money invested in Euro
pean war loans. Presumably these
private loans are secured, but what
ever their supporting is, probably
much Of it is of deprecated value
and dependent for its rehabilitation
in worth on the general fiscal re-
Mobilization of the debtor nations
With the public loans Cancelled, this
recovery would be speeded up as
matter of course, and the serenity Oh
our great private financial interests
would improve at the same pace
Everything would then be hunkydorJ
for everybody but the American tax
payer, and what's ten billions, more
or less, to him =? Just the same, il
would be political suicide for the
party in power in this government
which gives consent to the cancella
ton of our public foreign loans

ALAoOOAy
Before us there is opportunity and
urgent necessity for further achieve
ment. In order to get results there
is need for mutual trust and con-
fidence; for broadness of vision that
shall be able to overlook minor in
terests for the sake of great essen:
tials.
We ask nobody to surrender any of
his right of individual opinion. We
recognize that Wyoming is part Or
the United States the same as Rhode
Island, and that Oregon has the same
interest and must have the same
interest and must have the same
voice on questions affecting the ma
tional welfare as Massachusetts,. We
want our historic party to be aclear-
ing house of absolutely free, unfetter-
ed and Embossed individual ,judg-
ments. We ask only that measure OF
generosity and tolerance that will
make possible the compromises, the
agreements, the adjustments, on
which at last all legislative accom-
plishments must be based.
Precisely because Republicans have
always been capable of making these
concessions ofscommon sense to the
common good, we have earned the
confidence of the nation. Just in
the measure that we shall continue
capable of such mutual concessions,
such practical compromises, we shall
deserve continued tenure of that con-
| fidence.
Knowing as we'll as we do the
persons at Washington and through.
out the country, in whom is conferred
! the responsibility for our perform
ance, we feel able to give you as
surrance that our party is going to
continue it's successes, to lead the ma
ton out into a better time, and tc

AMERICA NOT A SANTA CLAUS.

For reasons of enlightened self-in-
terest the United States is interest
ed that Europe get on its feet. De-
preciated currency, international
debts, balanced national budgets,
economies in ornaments, free trade
all these matters affect the we'll be-
ing of the corn and wheat and
cattle and cotton farmer, as well as
of the American manufacturer.
Yet it is questionable whether such
conference should be called by the
United States as has been proposed
in Congress. There are several coun-
tries that would regard such a move
as an indication that America is
ready to play Santa Claus. That
would be demoralizing. The world
needs to get down to brass tacks. II
cannot be saved by philanthropy.
Europe needs radical remedies. But
it is primarily Europe's problem. II
would be we'll to wait and see what
Europeans have to offer, what sacri-
fees they are willing to make, ano
then to consider what America car
do.-Kansas City Star.

Take Care

Chas. Policy, chief OF the Abb

warnings to issue as means OF
fire prevention during the hOli.
days. He gives the following ad,
vice:
DO not decorate your Christ
mas tree with pcper, cotton or any
other infanmable material. Use
nothing but metallic tinsel and do
not use cotton to represent snow.
Asbestos fibre or powdered mica Is
II good substitute.
DO not use candles on the
Christmas tree. The records will
show that many lives are lost be-
cause of their use. An electric
lighting system, properly install
ed, will avoid this danger.
Set the Christmas tree securely
so that the children or others in
reaching for things cannot tip it
over. DO not allow the Christ
mas tree to remain inside of the
after the holidays as the
tree itself ignites readily when
the needles have become dry.
