FARM SPARK PLUGS

Eyergreens should be moved
Just before the bud starts.
May Is is a good average date
for planting beans and other ten
der vegetables.
Golden Bantam sweet corn
should be planted in a rich. warm
tervals of ten days or two weeks
thereafter.
Melons, squash, and pumpkins
should be planted in a rich, warm
soil, usually in the latter half of
May.
Peonies. tulips, all Towering
plants in fact should have an
abundance of water when buds
and flowers are forming.
Sod-bound orchards should be
cultivated at this time. Flowing
or disking will stimulate wood
growth and fruit production.
Wild flowers can be gathered
without destroying the entire
plant. Remember the leaves and
roots are needed to grow again
next year.
Eberle's Wonderful is a fine
early celery, according to univer-
sity gardeners. Excellent results
have been obtained from this
celery planted in peat plots at
Fens, st. Louis county.
Summarizing all available facts,
United States. Department of
Agriculture experts are agreed
that the beef cattle industry of
the country has begun moving
definitely towards prosperity.
Seed potatoes should be given
a hot formaldehyde bath before
being planted. Write to the Of
flee of Publications, University
Farm, st. Paul, for r. C. Roses

Good pasture and forage crops
will help to reduce pork produc-
ing costs. Pigs ON green feed are
more thrifty than those raised in
dry lots. Dwarf Essex rape. if
planted before in May. makes a
good pasture.

BROUGHT DOWN

A. N. Jacobs, Minneapolis
newspaper man, and associated
with Thomas ID. Schall in his po-
litical campaigns, was found
guilty by Minneapolis jury the
other day Of writing an article
that damaged former Senator
Magnus Johnsons reputation.
Possible penalty for the Of
Tense is 30 days in Jail or 500
fine which seems a very meager
punishment for the injustice
done.
The article in question was
published in a magazine called
Scandal, a name which implies
anything but good intentions.
We have never been overly ex-
cited about Magnus Johnson but
we do want to see him get fair
play and il Tom Schall does not
rid himself Of the kind of COM
pany he is keeping he will be
judged with il. Anything to
get the office" appears to be the
slogan and it is a dirty shame
that good honest taxpayers and
well meaning citizens should al
low the scandal type of states
men" to get away with it.
County Attorney Floyd b. Oh
son Of Hennepin county. who it
will be remembered was n can
didate for governor on the Far
mer-Labor ticket at the last
election, said in a formal state
ment, the verdict of the jury in
the Jacobs case is not legal VIC
tory for me or a personal victory
for Magnus Johnson. II is a vic
tory for fair play in public life"

"Broadcasting nationally and
internationally, is developing an
indispensable service in present
day life" declares General Har-
bord, president of the Radio Cor
poration Of America. In the
rural home and the city home
alike, it has come TO fill an inn
portant role, namely, keeping in
touch with the outside world. In
the rural home especially, radio
has meant a new outlook on life.
IL has brought entertainment,
the speeches Of prominent men,
the latest news, weather fore
casts, crop reports and other
items direct to the farmer and
his family, no matter where he
be located. II has given the

This is the only country that
has any supply of helium gas
worth while. We get it after it
has leaked up through the earth
and in pools of natural gas.
According to DR.. Elind, chief of

100000 years for helium to leak
from minerals and rocks and come
within our reach"
Many things happen in science
that couldn't happen if this earth
were only 5000 years old, as was
once believed. 1t took millions of
years for evolution to change a
creature as big as a fox, with
seven toes, into the horse of today.
1t takes 100000 years for
helium gas to become available.

A New York lady ran a baby
farm. The babies died rapidly,
especially if their board bills were
not paid. One poor infant dug up
after burial had a fractured skull.
The rate of mortality was hor-

If anybody kept such a farm for
baby dogs or cats, the "Cruelty to
Animals Society" would probably
supervise and regulate it. How
does it happen that the so-called
Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children knew nothing
about the baby farm or it's deaths?
