Proper selection of seeds with which
to plant garden Is stressed by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. 1t should be the aim of every
home gardener this year to grow a
better garden BY making the most in
telligent use OF the available space,
not only by employing better methods.
but By planting seeds of the highest
quality. The first cost Of seeds Is
comparatively small, but it is very Inn
portant that the seeds planted should
be the very best obtainable.
Gardeners are advised to secure the
catalogues OF reliable seed firms and
spend a little time in going over and
checking mp the seeds that will be
needed for planting.
~ Do not be misled by the highly
colored and much-advertised novelties,
but stick to the standard, well-known
and proved varieties, advise the spe-
cialfsts. Good seeds should never be
wasted, so figure carefully upon the
amount required and place your order
early before the best stocks are ex-
hausted. Perhaps the seeds can be
bought from local dealers. II not, or
ders should go to seed house in some
nefghborfng city. SO the seeds may be
received >in ample time. When they
are received, unpaek and check them
to see that no part of the order has
been overlooked; then store the seeds
In a mouseproof, ventilated container,
such as perforated tin box. They
should be kept Id moderate tempera-
ture. and where they will not freeze
or be exposed to moisture. .--
ILL.,. Have Early Vegetables. ,
Half the pleasure and profit Of q
garden Is derived from having some
thing to use just as early in the spring
as possible. In many cities and towns
the local greenhouse men grow thou
sands of plants which are sold to
home gardeners at reasonable prices.
1t often happens, however, that home
gardeners do not have the opportunity
to purchase weli-grown plants, and
must start their own supply Of early
plants In the house or In a hotbed If
they desire to have their crops mature
early. Among the garden crops that
may be started to advantage In this
manner are tomatoes, early cabbage,
peppers, eggplant and lettuce; even
:cucumbers, melons, beets. snap beans,
lima beans and sweet corn may be
started indoors by using flower pots,
paper bands, or berry boxes to hold
the soil.
Where the required number of plants
Is too great for growing In window
boxes. hotbed or coldframe may be
provided. The usual method Of con-
structing a hotbed Is flrst to dig

shallow pit s to Is inches deep, ac-
cording to locality, and pack 1t full
OF fermenting stable manure. The
manure, before being placed in the pit,
should be turned over once or twice
n a pile In order to insure even heat
ing, It may then be packed into the
hotbed pit and tramped uniformly.
Standard hotbed sashes are 3 feet
wide and 6 feet long, and the size Of
the bed should be made to suit the
number of sashes employed. A frame
work Of boards 18 to "a inches high
at the back and about IL inches high
In front is placed over the manure
filled pit to support the sash.
Use for Thermometer.
About 3 or inches Of fine garden
loam is spread evenly over the manure
and the bed allowed to stand four or
five days to warm up before any seed
Is sown. At first the temperature Of
the bed may run rather high, and 1t
Is best to delay planting the seeds In
1t until it begins to decline. This can
best be determined by planting ther-
mometer with the bulb about three
inches below the surface of the soil.
The temperature should fall below 85
degrees before seeds are planted.
If classified sashes are not avail
able for covering the hotbed, heavy
muslin may be used instead; the glass,
however, makes the most desirable
form Of covering. Care must be taken
to give the bed sufficient ventilation to
prevent overheating, as it Is liable to
| heat up very rapidly when the sun
shines full upon the glass. Watering
should be done during the early part
Of the day and the bed given enough
air so that the plants will dry Off be-

coidframe Construction.
A coldframe is constructed in exact
iy the same manner as hotbed. with
the exception that no manure Is placed
beneath 1t to supply heat.
Before the plants are set In the gar
den, either from the hotbed or the
coldframe, they should be gradually
hardened to outside conditions by CIV
ing them more ventilation each day.
Finally, remove the sashes entirely on
bright days and replace them during
the nights. The aim should be to
produce strong. healthy plants that
will make a quick start when placed
in the garden.

LEAGUE ASKS HELP FUR DISABLED MEN
 AMONG VETERANS
Many Are in Distress While They Wait on Claims For Compensation From
 Government

The National Disabled Soldiers lcasue is sending out an appeal to the people of Birmingham for funds to go into the treasury of the local past. and to be used to aid needy disabled veterans in thls district Ac- cording to James A. Strickland com mander of Woodrow Wilson post of Birmingham, not one of the men engaged in the work her receives pay, so each dollar donated will be spent entirely in the work of aid ing disabled soldiers. sailors and marines.
 Many of the members Of the league, which is composed of ey- service men and disabled ex-service men. are having to go down into their pockets and give the money they themselves have received from the government to help their bud dies who are In dire circnmstances. declared Commander strickiand s'Thc people of Birmingham do not realize low great the need is for more money to help the disabled veteran who, for one cause or another. has not yet gotten his compensation through.
 The league does such work aa getting the men into the hospitals when they arc not able to get them selves there. Many do not under stand how to go about making out the papers necessary. When their case is good one, this Is often all that stands between them and what they should have. Yet, without some f4 of ut get their claims recognized. Thou sands of such cases have been handled by the league.
 Then there are those who need financial assistance while they are waiting for their claims to go through. Many pitiful cases come before us every wees These cases should get even better attention than we. with our small funds, are able to give.
 The people Of America should stop and think What would the American dollar, the very dollar some of us hesitate to give to this cause, what would 1t be worth if the Amer ican youth had not done his duty SO well. even to the altar of sacrifice during the war?
 Tt is easy to forget such things All Of us are liable to. unless we have them called 10 our attention. Scme ask, Why doesn't the govern ment help? The government is helping. Millions and milloins of dol lars each year is being spent "Thcn why isn't that cnouehg' The govern ment stands ready to spend llberally on each and every case that is estab- lisbed to it's satisfaction. No man in American would want the govern ment to put out money without first making certain that it was putting the money in the right place. And there is where the rub comes. So many reasons exist for the delay tn getting the compensation of dis abied soldiers adjusted And all of them are good reasons, from ths peint of view held by the govern ment, Yet these men cannot be al lowed to starve and die while they wait They must be helped And that $ what we propose to do with the money We receive from the peo- pie of Birmingham, every cent of it.'
 The league asks every citizen in Birmingham and this district 10 mail either a check for Si or a dollar bill to the Secretary National soldiers League, Woodrow Wilson Post, 92a Jefferson County Bank Building, Birmin gham. Ala. '
