dirt to adhere to the roots and give
them a better start when they are
planted out. If the plants are grown
In flower pots, In paper bands, or
berry boxes, they should be carried to
the garden In their containers. Pot
grown plants should be lOosened by
inverting them gently and knocking
the edge of the pot on something solid.
The plants then are set with the ball
Of earth %adhering to their roots.
II the plants have been grown In pa-
per bands or berry boxes, the sides
Of the bands or boxes should be slit
with a knife and removed as the plants
are set. Where the plants are grown
In trays or In a hotbed, a knife should
be run between the rows, cutting the
earth In both directions, and each
plant lifted with q cube of earth at
tached to It's roots.
Use Fresh burrows.
The holes or burrows In which the
plants are set should not be made I'M
til ready to transplant the plants. II
made too soon, the soil will dry out
and cause the plants to wilt. Under
all circumstances, 1t pays to apply a
little water around the roots of each
plant as 1t Is set: this causes the soil
to fern a close contact with the roots
OF the plant. After the water has
soaked into the soil. dry earth should
be filled In around the plant and
slightly f1rmed. Plants set In this
manner will invariably start without
whiting.
1t is always a good idea to have a
few more plants than are required for
filling the space in the garden, In or
der to replace any that die or are de.
stroyed by insects.

CENSUS OF Ex-SERvICE MEN
Five Million Qu~estionnaires to Be Used
In Obtaining Views On compen-

A nationwide census Of ex-service
lei will be taken by the American
Legion. Five million Qvestionnaires
have been printed for use In the Le-
gion's Service and compensation"
drive. which will aim toward the CON-
pilation Of vital statistics and which
should afford a definite indication Of
the exact cost Of providing compensa-
ton to all veterans.
The various state organizations Of
the Legion will conduct their drives
separately, and Mt their own date.
Every man interviewed by the census
taker will be informed Of the five op-
lions of the pending compensation bill
and be asked to signify his attitude
toward the measure and his choice Of
the five features. He will also record
whether he was eve wounded. gassed.
or suffered an injury In service. AS
sistance will be provided In filing con
pensation claims, and all ex-soldiers
will be urged to carry government In
surance.
The Legion's plan for a rotating loan
fund will be explained. and every man
interviewed will be asked whether he
would be willing to turn over his CON-
pensation toward such q fund for the
relief of needy service men.

TO THE FARMERS

Mr.. Farmer, let us whisper a word
in your ear. If you are thinking of
buying a Fordson tractor, one Of
those businesslike, sturdy little ma
chimes that turns hand everywhere
and to everything on the farm, don't
delay, do it now. Prompt deliveries
can be made at present, but when
the rush comes in the spring who can
tell what the situation may be. The
indications are that there will be a
larger demand for this famous trac-
tor than ever before-that it will
simply be immense. If you do not
know all about the Fordson, come to
our show rooms and let us demon
state its desirable features to you.
Far and away the biggest tractor buy
in the world to-day. See our large
adj elsewhere. Service everywhere.
