Six hundred and fifty precincts

If the ratio Of voting continued
it was estimated that 100000 votes
have been cast, which is unpre-
cedented in Oklahoma special cleo

If this estimate proves correct

mately $4,000 votes of the highest

THE VACANT LOTS
GOOD FOR GARDEN
Richest Soil Is Often Found in
Neglected Places Clean Out
UnsightIy Weeds.

Why not have q garden this year on
that vacant city, town or village lot
that is now growing to weeds or COW
cred with empty tin cans? says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture The weeds and tin cans can be
disposed of at any time, and all stones
and other refuse material should be
removed. If there are enough stones
present, they might be placed in neat
and attractive piles and either flowers
or vines of some sort run over them
next season. If the vacant lot is near
enough to the house, it can be Spaded
and all other work done at odd times.
During the winter months it is well
to study the seed catalogues and make
up an order Of seeds, including per-
haps 10 to 10 different kinds of veg
etables To this should be added
list of four or five Towering plants,
such as zinnias, cockscomb, scarlet
sage and nasturtium, to be used for
border plants. Snap beans, lima
beans, tomatoes, onions, cabbage, car
rots, swiss chard, spinach, radishes and
lettuce are among the most impor-
tant crops for the small garden. Where
space will permit early Irish potatoes,
sweet corn, summer squash, musk
melons, cucumbers and pumpkins may
be included. 1t is far better. how
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1923-02-23

satisfaction obtained, as well as the
pleasure, is most gratifying.
The pots for growing such plants do
not have to be of the store kind.
Paper pots can be made at home; old
cans, round oatmeal cartons, and the
like, serve the purpose well.
The soil preparation should be
about the same kind as in the flats,
with coarser soil, pebbles, broken
flower pots and such, to afford drain
age; an opening at the bottom of
each being necessary.
Plants grown in. this manner are
more easy to handle when they are
transferred to the open; the roots
need not be disturbed, If removed
when the soil is slightly damp. This
will be advantageous to the plant, and
1t will Immediately take hold.
The transferring process should be
begun with the stronger plants in the
flats when they are about one inch
high. Select the best plants for
transplanting. The fiat should be
watered well before the plants are
removed, thus allowing dirt to cling
to the roots, which should not be
torn or cut, if possible to remove them
intact.

SEED BOXES FOR WINDOWS

If no box is handy, and one has to
be made, the following dimensions
have been found to be about right !:
three to four inches deep, foot to IA
inches wide, and 20 to "a inches long.
If it is desired to place the box upon a
window sill, the width, of course,
should be regulated according to the
width of the sill, letting the length of
the box be the inside width of the
window.
