AUTHOR OF DRY
 LAW TO RETIRE
Volstead Says He Is Con- vinced There Is Nothing
 Tn Political Game.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-After 20 years in Congress, Andrew J. Vol stead, of Minnesota, is convinced that there is nothing in the game of politics" and he intends to retire to his modest home town-Granite Falls and again hang up his shngle as an attorney.
 By the ume a member of Con gress finances his campaign and pays the high rents here and the high prices for food" he said, ''he has nothing left
 Mr Volstead said he had no inten- tfon of entering the lists as a candi date for the Senate as successor to Senator Knute Nelson, whose term expires shortly. Because of his ad vanced' 'age, the impression prevails in political circles that Senator Nel son will not be a candidate to sue. ceed himself, and he will follow the footsteps of Uncle Joe Cannon by retiring.
 While not boasting of the fact, it is no secret that the most cherished accomplishment of Mr. Volstead was the enactment by Congress of the prohibition enforcemenI act which bears his name. He is convinced that that measure will not be altered to any perceptible extent by succeed ing Congresses.
 'sThe campaign for Night wines and beers," he declared. will get no where To approve the sale of those beverages would mean the return of the saloon, and Nthe American people have eradicated those dens of in. lquity for all times to come"
 Mr. Volstead's announcement that he intends to return home to prac- lice law comes as a surprise, for the report was current here that his re- election would be assured of by the Anti-Saloon League because of his activity in behalf of the dry cause.

-Make the Backyard Pay
Tomatoes, Eggplant and Peppers

Any soft string or even strip of old
muslin will answer for tying the to-
mato vines to the stakes or trellis.
About four or five prunings and
tyings are necessary. the main object
being to do the work in time to pre-
vent the side shoots becoming too
large.
Eggplant is grown from seeds the
same as tomatoes, but the plants
are very delicate and require plenty
of heat. The little insects known as
flea-beetles are very fond Of eggplant
leaves. When the grower notices his
plants looking thin and sickly, he may
find that the under sides of the leaves
are eaten away and there are numer-
Gus small holes clear through the
leaves.
busting the plants with air-slacked
line is reasonably effective in driving
these beetles away. busting with
nicotine sulphate dust is also effective,
likewise spraying the plants with
arsenate of lead at the rate Of one
ounce of the paste form to a gallon
Of water to which a little lime is
added to prevent the arsenate of lead
burning the leaves.

Extension Horticulturist. United States De
partment of Agriculture.
TNOMATOES, eggplant and pep
pers are a group of crops be-
longing to the nightshade fam
lily, and closely related to the Irish
rotate, that has become quite impor-
tant among garden crops within the
past half century. These crops are
well adapted to the small garden as
comparatively little space is re-
quired to provide for the needs of
the ordinary family. Tomatoes are
the most important of the three and
can be grown over a wide range of
territory and on almost any type of
soil. Eggplant is difficult to grow
in many sections. Peppers, like to-
matOes, can be grown almost any
where with proper care.
Tomatoes do best in the home
garden where the plants are started

Rich, Moist Soil

Eggplant requires a very rich soil
and plenty Of moisture. However,
the plants will not do we'll on wet or
poorly drained soil.
Peppers should be started in the
house about four weeks before the
tender plants can be set outdoors.
The plants should be handled in about
the same way as tomato plants and
will withstand about the same degree
Of exposure.
Ten or dozen plants will furnish
plenty for the ordinary family and
are decidedly worth while in the home
