HOTBED CAN BE
USEDF0R EARLY
GARDEN START
Expert recommends Sowing for
Vegetable Crops Under Glass
Soil and Fertilizing Hints.

Urbana, Ill, Feb. 27.-Planning
your garden yet? You can get an
early start by planting early crops
of cabbage, caulifiower, head let
tuce, tomatoes, peppers and egg
plant under glass, according to
Charles B. Sayre, assistant CHIEF IN
agriculture of the University of
Illinois.
Seed for such crops should be
sown under glass several weeks in
advance of gardening weather out
of-doors," Mr.. Sayre said The
home gardener land the market
gardener who has no greenhouse
should therefore construct a hot
bed for starting these important
crops.
"Fermenting manure is the most
common source of heat for home
garden hotbeds, of which there are
two types, pit hotbeds, and surface
hotbeds. In a pit hotbed the mail
ure is placed in a pit of sufficient
depth so that the top Of the hotbed
frame is about level with the sur
face of the ground
"A surface hotbed is simpler to
construct and consists merely or
level pile Of manure about two feet
deep on which the hotbed frame Is
placed. Manure is then banked to
the top of the frame and extending
out about two feet around it to give
added warmth and protection from
! the wind.
Hotbed Sowing.
| I'm a locality where outdoor
gardening can commence about the
first week in April, seed for the
| crops previously mentioned should
be sown in the hotbed about the
first week in March
when constructing the hotbed the
manure should be put down in lay
ers six inches deep to total deptt
of two feet, thoroughly tramplne
each layer.
1.-The frame should then be placed
on. 1t should be IL inches high OF
the south side and 16 to IS inche!
on the north side, and of the exac
width and length to fit the hotbe'
sash. The standard sash is 81
feet long and three feet wide, ans
a two-sash frame is sufficient t
start plants for the average HON
garden, though three or four sasl
can be used to advantage
Prom four to six inches or sol
should be placed in the frame, bu
the hotbed should not be plante'
for a week or more because the hea
generated will kill the seeds o
plants. After the bed has heate
!, and then cooled down to 50 de
grees Fahrenheit, the seeds ma
safely be sown-"

Mr.. Zanforth has indicated that
further charges would not be filed

EDUCATOR SAYS
MUSIC is BASIS
OF SOCIAL LIFE
Labor Stimulated. Obedience In.
sured and Order Brought
Out Of Chaos.

Chicago. Feb. 27.-There is moth
ing that will stimulate labor, COM
mand obedience and bring order
out of chaos like music. President
P. E. McClenahan, Des Moines'
Iowa, of the National Council OF
State Departments of Education
told the association here today.
Song produces harmony, he
said. 1T cheers the heart and en-
livens the mind. Music is the pa
sis of our social life. There is no
element in life which so quickly
breaks down the bars of reserve
and Indifference. 1t has infinite
value in the Americanization OF
foreigners. In the power OF music
and especially that of song, lies an
influence for the community spirit
that should now be fostcred as III
no other period of American MS
tory. Music is both an art and a
science, and should occupy a con-
spicuous place in education"
The war brought into prominence
several important features OF
school work, said Mr.. McClenananr
chief among which are the teach
ing of home-making and home gar
den work by school children.
Home Work.
work in cooking has been mod
flied and correlated with the worB
at home" he said. Now girls II
the home-making courses are taught
that the best part of the work done
is that done at home during the
morning, evening and vacation per
iods. The young women in these
courses are taught to assist IN &C
tual cooking at home. l know DH
actual experience that high scnoo
girl can be taught to COOK 1000
that is wholesome, palatable ant
delicious"
OF home garden work he said:
school and garden work 10
school children was really oeVel

count of the war necessity for NOR

a presidential election. It affords
the voters the first opportunity to
center their thoughts on prohibi-
ton alone if they desire. As the
American Federation of Labor
points out, there is to be no effort
to repeal the eighteenth amend
ment to the constitution. That
would be to laborious and lengthy a
process. But congress does have
the power TO interpret what is and
| what is not intoxication within the
meaning of the eighteenth amend
ment. The supreme court of the
United States has said so. If the
American people, therefore, want to
elect Republicans and Democrats
| pledged to raise the alcoholic con-
tent from one-half of one per cent
| to two per cent or two and three
quarters per cent, a simple major
ity of congress can achieve the de-
sired result for them without the
necessity of submitting any change
in the constitution of the several
states. 1t so happens that in the
landslide for President Harding in
1920, many districts normally Dem
ocratic elected Republicans to con-
gress. The Democratic candidates
from the city districts will probably
make effective use of the prohibit
ton question and will point to the
record of the Republican congress
on this subject.
There's a flaw in the argument, of
course, that election of Democrats
would give the people light wines
and beer for if the Democrats did
control congress it would be a ques-
ton of influencing the southern
Democrats, who are dry, to change
their views. The answer of the
"wets" to this is that the southern
Democracy would be visibly moved
by any pronounced demonstration
in northern Democracy in favor OF
a more liberal Interpretation of the
liquor laws.
In connection with the agitation
for light wines and beer, new fac
tor has lately been introduced. Il
l. is the suggestion that tax on the
legal sale of light wines and beef
!. would bring in more than sufficien
revenue to pay the soldier bonus
and would deliver body blow a
the bootlegger who evades income
j tax and plies his trade at an I'M
, mense profit. But, polltlcaIl!
speaking, the issue looks at pres
ent as if it will be local and non
partisan. And neither the Repupli
can nor Democratic national chair
man has any present intention o
regarding it as party matter.
