Lei, to Capper
In a letter to Senator Arthur
Camper, chairman ef the committee,

II thoroughly agree with Senator
Kean and yourself that the present
situation needs attention, and viii
see that at the proper time the
matter is brought before the mem
bers OF the subcommittee on traffic
for their consideration"
It was recalled that attempts had
been made in past years by the
District authorities to ban all-night
parking, but the proposition was
never put into effect.
Members Interested
The members of the Senate Dis

the Business High School early

Check Loss
Prof. Allan Davis. principal, and

The North American now holds

officials Of the Public Utilities
Commission are keeping a close
watch on the situation, however,
and, in the event control does pass
to the North American, fireworks
can be expected.
Tt is not expected that the North
American win come out in the open
and make a purchase of any large
amount OF stock until It determines

ton company for an Increased fare.

While the fare application Ii too

any opinion either affirmative or
negative, a great many points are
being considered which do not point
to q higher fare being granted.
Majority stockholders of the trac-

to any possible transfer of their
voting stock at this time. 1t Is

Fix Garden Tools Now,
Save Time Next Spring

By properly taking care of the gar
den tools in the fall, hours of making
ready in spring can be saved, says the
November American Home. Rust has
knack of doing slow but effective
damage and is the thing to be guard
ed against most carefully.
All metal work, and wood, too, can
be rubbed with an Oil-soaked rag. The
oil used should be clean but not too
light, for it must give perfect COW
ering through the winter. All bear
ings. too. can be kept shiny, such as
the share of the garden pillow or the
hoe blade. coat the surface literally
with hard oil. This work is a dirty job
and should be done in old clothes.
Should you find tool badly rusted,
a brick bat will be found an excellent
thing to remove the rust. A fine grade
Of sand paper will also cut through
nicely. This can be finished with
emery cloth. although a buftins wheel
turned at high speed with some emery
powder on it will be the best to put on
a highly polished surface that will
"scour' when first used.

Know Plant Habits,
Gardeners Advised
Traits Must Be Known for
Best Results in Crops.

The home gardener must be well
acquainted with the characteristics Of
the plants he grows if he is to secure
the best results for his efforts, adj
vises the vegetable department of the
college of agriculture at New Bruns-
wick. The trait of our common vege-
table plants which cannot be over
looked in any way is their sensitive
ness to climatic conditions. Some
vegetables require hot weather for
their best development and are killed
by a very light frost. Others do not
develop properly during hot weather
but will endure freezes. Each must
be planted at season of the year
which will enable it to make its best
development.
OF the cool season crops some reach
edible maturity quickly, and are al
most always grown without transplant
ing. In this group we find peas; the
short-season root crops like radish,
kohl-rabi, and turnip; the greens, such
as spinach, mustard and kale; and
Nle salad crops like leaf lettuce, gar
den cress and corn salad. These
should be planted as soon as the dam
ger of killing frosts is over.
Other cool season crops have q
longer growing season than these, and
must be started in green house. hot
bed or cold frame sometime before
they could be sown outdoors If they
are to mature before hot weather.
Cabbage, cauliflower and head lettuce
are 10 this class The time to trans
plant these crops from the green
house to the field is as soon as the
danger of killing frosts is past. Sue
cessive planting Of some can be made
up to the first of May, but after this
date 1t is better to plant some of the
warm season crops.

Tractors Are Gaining
on Many Truck Farms

In regions around large centers OF
population where truck gardening pre-
walls and in other places where small
road crops are grown, the garden trac-
tor is gaining strong fOothold.
Poultry, fruit or truck farms use
this mechanical power very advantage
ously in seeding, cultivating and har'
vesring. as well as in other draw-bar
and belt power tasks
The garden tractor fills demand
which results from the impracticahility
of maintaining horses in thickly set
tied truck or ruit-producing areas. In
such areas land is expensive and the
cost of homegrown horse feed is too
high.
These garden tractors are small and
compact and can be operated advan
tageously in gardens, orchards or 9th
er close quarters since they may he
turned sharply and since the tools that
operate are close to the source of pow
err generally between the driver and
the engine.

Alfalfa Will Furnish
High-Grade Roughage

Among all the STANDARD feed crops.
alfalfa generally ranks at or near the
top in dollar value per acre. good
crop of alfalfa hay yields from two
to seven times as much digestible pro-
TEN per acre as any Of the farm crops
commonly grown for live stock feed.
An alfalfa field on the farm will do
more than furnish every class of live
stock with the highest grade of rough
age possible at a reasonable cost.
With alfalfa hay available, other high
yielding legumes can be used as pas
ture, or they can be plowed under as
soil builders.
Alfalfa seeded in tie fall requires
a good seedbed, well pulverized and
firm. The soil pulverizer is recog-
nized as good tool for crushing clods
and for firming the soil before seeding.

was able to make very good silage out
of alfalfa hay that he allowed to wilt

some sugar and starch fermentation to
develop a good keeping quality.
