The hotbed provides a means OF bor-
rowing little growing weather from
iAte winter and early spring 80 that
certain Ions. seasoned vegetables viii
mature. says c. c. Starring of the her
htcultural department at Montana
State College. In preparing a hotbed
he advises a pit two and half feet
deep which viii provide heat enough
for a period Of six to eight weeks.
The manure used should be light and
sprlngy and should be piled up TO
start heating before being placed In
the hOtbed. II heating is too rapid
little straw may be added or the pile
sprinkled with water. The hofhed
should be located where It WIN get the
fun benefit OF the sun and. at the
same time. be protected from cold
winds. II the hotbed is small It is
well to have the pit extend foot on
each side OF the frame and the space
filled with manure. The manure
should be carefully tramped down
when It is put in the frame. The pit
should be filled to within six inches
OF the top with manure and this COW
cred over with about six inches Of soil.
If the upper two or three inches OF
soil is sIfted through a screen, plant
ing win be easier. To provide the
proper slant the upper part Of the hot
bed frame should be six inches above
the ground at one side and twelve |
inches above at the other. Earth
should be packed around the part Of
the frame above ground to provide
protection and proper drainage. After
the hotbed has been prepared the sash
should be put in place and allowed to
remain until the temperature is from
80 to IS degrees Fahrenheit, at which
time planting may begin.

In the opinion Of economists Of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture there may be some expansion Of
flax acreage this year without danger
Of saturatlng the home market At the
present time the nation requires ap-
proxlmately 100000 bushels Of flax
and last year the production in the
United States was approximately D.
100000 bushels. II Is pointed out.
however. that Argentina has just har-
vested bumper flax crop and that
this may affect the world price. II Is
suggested that as long as national pro-
ductlon remains within national re-
quirements the domestic producer will
receive the benefit Of tariff protection
and when production Is greater than
consumption flax will be sold at the
world price level.

FRENCH POUR GIFTS
INTO SINKING FUND
War Campaign That Brought l.
50O,OO0,000 Francs in Gold to
Be Cast Into Shade.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April IA general Of
fensive against the floating debt was
launched today. when a committee, Of
which President Doumergue is honor
ary president and Marshal Joffre
commapder.in- chief was formally In
stalled for the purpose of receiving
voluntary contributions for a sinking
fund. The primary object of the free
offering sinking fund of which the
committee will take charge is to re-
duce the shortterm bonds so that
they no longer will menace the treas
ury. The fund will eventually serve
to retire interallied war debts, as
well as domestic loans, though other
measures are expected to exc out the
proceeds Of the voluntary subscrip-
tions.
People in all walks Of life seem
eager to do their bit for Joffre and
the French treasury in the new battle
of the Marne, and the prospects are
that the campaign which during the
war brought 1,500,0 100000 francs in
gold into the Bank of France will be
cast into the shade. The voluntary
fund IL not counted upon to work
the miracle alone of French financial
salvation, but the spirit it develops
is expected to help largely in solving
Frances financial difficulties.
Another low record for the franc
was registered today. This morning
the dollar purchased 29.2, and It's posi-
ton in exchange Is causing the gov
ernment much anxiety.
