In laying out the plan for the vege-
table garden. one item of importance
should be borne in mind. That is that
sweet corn should be planted in
squares. or at least in rectangles. in
stead of long single rows, or even
double rows.
Nine hills of corn planted in a
square will produce more corn to the
cob than the same nine hills planted
in a straight line The reason for
this is that the square planting gives
better, distribution OF the pollen or
powder from the tassels upon the
silks. Each silk represents a grain of
corn on the cob. 1t must receive pol
len to fill out the kernel OF corn. In
the single row planting much OF the
pollen is wasted The wind is the
main agent of polarization in corn.
Bees occupy a part in the work, but
not a very prominent one. as in the
case of other plants, for the tassel
and the cob and silk are the flowers
of the corn, the two. although separ-
ate on the stalk. forming the COM

while delay very frequently leads to
disappointment. Another feature OF
early ordering is that the seeds are
on hand when it is time to start them.
and there is no delay in planting.
Often a gardener finds time to do
early planting, but finds himself with
out the seeds, and is forced to delay
few days to two weeks to secure
the seeds. That much time in growth
is lost and the season curtailed by
just that much.
Early orders for garden tools, pot
ting material. soap boxes to be con-
verted into flats, paper pots for trans
planting, insecticides and fertilizers
are also a part of the schedule of q
first-class gardener who is always a
disciple of preparedness for the war
fare on insect enemies and fungous
pests he knows he will be called upon
to wage at one time or another dur

Why Early Seed Buying Pays

Early orders sent to the scotsman
are most certain to be filled with the
varieties desired, and delay in order
ing is always risky. Often there is a
big demand for a certain variety
either OF vegetable or flower, and the
supply is exhausted and substitution
has 20 be made by the scotsman OF
the buyer. This disappointment is
easily avoided by being forehanded.
The same advice holds true in the
order of bulbs and plants, even
though the plants are not to be de-
livered before May L.. The orders. will
be booked in rotation and filled in
due season.
In the ordering of the lchoicer va
rieties of the summer towering bulbs,
particularly gladiolus. and early order
is essential if you wish to be certain
of securing the desired variety. Some
OF the standard varieties of gladiolus
have become so popular that last sea-
son the stock, of some of them was
exhausted early. This is also true of
cannas and the newer dahlias. which

Henry Ford Reported
Negotiating to Buy
Virginian Railroad

DETROIT. Mich, April 10.-Reports
were current today that the Ford
Motor company is negotiating to pur-
chase the Virginian railroad.
Receipt of information that Off
Gals of the railway held meeting
in New York last night after which
they refused to affirm or deny that
negotiations were being conducted
with the motor company added
strength to the report.
Henry Ford is now in the south
and his son Edsel is said 20 be in
New York. A report, said to have
come from Norfolk where Henry
Ford was a recent visitor, stated
that the motor king had offered
$50, 100000 for the railroad. The di-
rectors, it is said, demand $110,0 00,-
900.
I Acquisition Of the Virginian rail
road would give Mr.. Ford direct4con-
nection with his extensive coal fields
and also a through route from De-
troit to the Atlantic coast. This
route would be made possible by
linking the Southern railroad with
Mr.. Fords other railroad, the De-
troit, Toledo and Ironton, which en-
gineers say would not be difficult.
The Virginian operates between
SeWells Point, Va, where it has
large coal piers on the Atlantic, to
DeepWater, Va, a distance of 440
miles. With several branche lines
added the Virginians total mileage
is 526

of their attempt to negotiate, the first

to be taken up by air today. y
Plans for the trip by plane were
made here last night. The plane
was to carry newspaper man and
a photographer.
Meanwhile, motor officials were
encouraged here by the reports yes

learned that word had been received
in Fort Myers by Indian runners OF
the tourists. This intelligence was
to the effect that the party, with
thirty miles of bad lands ahead OF
them, was pushing on towards Mi

DR.. Fosdick Must
Reaffirm Faith,
Church Decides

NEW YORK, April 10.-Five men
locally prominent in the Presby-
terrain church, were preparing today
to call upon the Rev. DR.. Harry
Emerson Fosdick, special preacher
of the First Presbyterian church,
and demand that he affirm his be-
lief in the Westminster confession
of faith. Should he decline to do
so, the First Presbyterian church
has been requested to sever it's con.
tract with him.
The five were named committee
for the purpose yesterday by the
Presbytery of New York in answer
to an overture from the Harlem
New York Presbyterian church.
DR.. Fosdick, as a Baptist, preach.
ing in a Presbyterian pulpit, has
been a storm center since last May
when he preached a sermon entitled
Shall the Fundamentalists Win?'
His critics charge that in this ser.
mon he spoke in a disparaging man
ner of the virgin birth of Jesus
Christ.

HARVEY IS COMING
HOME To STUMP
FOR WORLD COURT

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April IL
George Harvey, American ambas-
sador to Great Britain, will come
home this month to manage the adj
ministration's campaign for Amer
lean entrance into the international
court of the League of Nations.
President Harding and Ambassa-
dor Harvey together Will map out
and coordinate all administration
activities in support of this policy,
which is closer to Mr.. HardinS's
heart than any other major policy
Of his administration at this time.
Whether Mr.. Harvey will return
to his London post will depend OIL
what happens after he gets here.
He may remian to direct the Hair
ding 1924 campaign.
President Harding himself selected
Mr.. Harvey to direct the world court
campaign, and he regards the choice
as the happiest possible one, under
the circumstances for these reasons:
1-Mr. Harvey combines with
strong nationalism an international
point of view which enables him
to visualize American participation
in world affairs without undue en-
| tanglement.
Pile is friendly with the two
main groups of thought in the Re
publican party on international
policy-the Hoover-Hughes school
which leans strongly toward Amer
lean participation in the court. and
which favored American member
ship in the league with reservations,
and the Borah-Johnson group of IT.
reconcilables, and part of his work
will be to try to get. them together.
3-FIis experience as ambassador,
and the intimate contact he has had
with British and other European
statesmen, has fitted him to advise
the president not only on the world
court program but on later steps in
the development of the Harding for
eign policy.
In addition, Mr. Harvey is a top
notch campaigner and hard
fighter. What he willie be able to
tell the American people about the
European point of view on Amer
lean membership in the court
whether it will be regarded as a
"back door, entrance into Y the
League of Nations, is expected by
Mr.. Harding to be of tremendous
assistance in shaping public opinion
into a friendly mood.
Mr.. Harvey, some of his friends
here intimated, is ready to exchange
his London post for a position more

developments and even if his forth
coming visit terminates with his re.
turn TO London they expect him to
be back in the United States playing
a prominent part in Republican poll
tics in 1924.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, April 10
John II. Babb gave his life today in
q futile effort to save his three little
nieces and two year old nephew
All were burned to death. The trag-
edy occurred at the home Of Col.
Babb, a farmer living near Smith
Land, Iowa. The children who lost
their lives are Harriet, 10; Bessie, IL
Opal, 8; and James Babb, 2, all chill
dren of Col. Babb.
The fire broke out while the famf'
Iy was asleep and had gained such
Roadway that the children were
: trapped on tie second floor of the
building.
Seeing that there was little prob
ability of the children being able to
make their way from the blazing
structure unassistcd John Babb rush
ed into the building and made his
way to the second rIoor.
A moment later he appeared at a
window with the children. Then sud-
denly they disappeared from view as
the floor of'+he second story crashed
into a pit of flames.
The horrified parents who escaped
with five other children, watched
from the. yard.
