PREPARING THE SOIL

The best mineral soil for vegetable
production is a sandy loan which is
fertile, well drained but retentive of
moisture, and well supplied with or
ganic matter. However, most soil types
will produce good crop if properly
handled
Give the soil a thorough preparation.
Heavy soils and sod lands are best
plowed or spaded in the fall. Light
soils need not be plowed until spring.
Spade or pillow the soil to depth of
from 6 to 9 inches. If plowed in the
fall, it is well to leave the soil rough
until spring. Manure, at the rate of 20
to % tons per acre, should usually be
applied before blowing. If applied on
plowed land, it should be well rotted
and diSked into the SOIL
Where manure is scarce or very ex-
pensive, commercial fertilizers may be
used, either to supplement it or replace
+! it entirely. In the latter case, organic
matter must be added, such as green
manures. A 1876 mixture, applied at
the rate of 500 to 1000 pounds per acre,
soils with plenty of humus. On peat,
an 0-9-27 fertilizer for root crops and
potatoes, or an 0-10-24 mixture for most
other vegetables is generally recon-
mended. The fertilizer may be broad
cast, or applied in or beside the row.
Care should be taken TO mix the fer
tilizer thoroughly with. the soil and to
see that it does not come in direct con-
tact with the seed or plants Top
dressing, after the plants are up, often
aids in Fastening growth and maturity.
Do not work the soil in the spring
when it is too wet Soil which forms
/ a compact, muddy mass, when COM
pressed in the hand, and that does not
crumble readily when released, often
becomes lumpy, hard, and compact when
worked at this stage, losing much of its
potential productivity. This is especi-
ally true of the heavier soils.
A deep, smooth, thoroughly pulverized
seedbed is very important. Seeds
Iplanted in coarse, lumpy ground are
apt to be unevenly covered. Thus they
may terminate poorly and often do not
grow well after termination. In smaller
gardens, a satisfactory seedbed can be
prepared with the garden rake. Where
larger implements can be used, the
ground should be thoroughly disked and
then narrowed and dragged. A plank
rag, or meeker harrow, is an ideal
tool for giving the final leveling and
smoothing touches to the seedbed just
before planting.

APPROPRIATION
FOR NEEDY Vets
$25O,O0O Annually for 1888
and 1884 Available for
Needy Disabled Vets.

The sum of $250,OOO annually for the
next two years was included in the
general relief measure enacted in the
closing hours of the recently adjourned
state legislative session-largely thru
the plea of Governor Floyd B. Olson
at the request of The American Legion
and other veteran organizations.
When it was shown to the governor
that II 300 Minnesota veterans will be
cut from the federal aid list on July
/, 1888, and that only small percen-
tage of these former service men,
totaling more than 5000, will be able
to work. even if work were available
he appeared before the SolonS to sup
port the veterans relief measure
drafted by Lewis E. Lohmann, state
Legion commander, George Sjoselius OF
Duluth, state Legion rehabilitation
chairman, and Harry M Walsh of St
Paul, state Legion legislative chairman
The money appropriated, the COVER
nor said, is not intended as reward
for veterans injured in service, but is
to supply the necessities of life to dis
abled service men whose federal aid
is being withdrawn and who are unable
to shift for themselves or support their
dependents.
This veterans fund of S250,000 an
nually for 1888 and 1884 is included as
part of the larger general relief meas
ure. 1t is not large enough to provide
more than the bare necessities gro
ceries, food, fuel clothing and shelter
applications for which should go to
Glen Davis, secretary of the Soldiers
Relief Board, lot State Capitol, with
whom william T. Knoll, executive sec
rotary of the Minnesota State Soldiers
Welfare Board is cooperating.
Service officers of the 468 Minnesota
Legion posts will assist local needy
veterans in making application for re-
lief. Lewis E. Lohmann, department
commander, said.

Breeding places should be destroyed,
flies swatted to control summer dis
ease epidemics.
Ideal living conditions for flies exist
in the majority of otherwise well run
households, physicians of the Mime
sofa State Medical Association declare
in bulletin issued by the Association.
There is no doubt whatever, the
physicians declare, that much other
wise unexplained summer disease is
carried by flies The time to think
about the fly menace is not in the hot
months, however, but in the spring
while flies are breeding.
Entrance to most houses Is fairly
easy for really ambitious young
fly, say the doctors in this bulletin.
Once the fly is in, furthermore, the
chance to gorge on exposed food more
than repays the trouble. Now and then,
of course, some unfortunate fly may
buzz into a house where there are no
children to hold doors open and where
flies are mercilessly hunted, but such
houses are in the minority
Food over which flies have walked
has been repeatedly examined, and in
the trail of the flies lines of disease
microbes have been found. These
germs multiply in few hours and
form great colonies.
you are simply lucky, in fact, if
the germs that drip from flies this
summer over your food do not happen
to be the germs of infantile paralysis
or epidemic diarrhea or typhoid or
tuberculosis. They may well be, de-
pending, of course, upon previous
travels of the fly"
These are the reasons why the
doctors urge not only elimination of
the house fly by tight screens, by
swatting, and by careful covering of
food, but also by more fundamental
measures.
Flies breed and maintain them
selves through the larval period in
filth" says the bulletin. Manure piles,
decaying animal and vegetable matter
are the breeding places of preference
Here they crawl to lay their eggs and
here the larvae hatch and are nur-
tured. They will not breed if the
manure pile is enclosed in the fly
proof containers suggested in great
variety in pamphlets issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture; if outdoor
toilets are either banished or properly
screened and protected; if all heaps of
filth and decay are cleaned up and
destroyed.
Keeping the fly out of the house is
very ifficult matter and, in the end,
1t is an unequal battle in which adds go
to the fly unless more fundamental
measures of eradication go along with
it."

Pike Spearing
Postponed to May 20.

Pike and pickerel may not be speared
in ST. Louis county before May 20, under
a proclamation issued Saturday by
Gov. Floyd B. Olson.
Spearing is usually allowed in this
county between May and Is. The
date was postponed because Of danger
of depicting the pike and pickerel
The proclamation temporarily suspends
provisions of a law enacted at the last
session OF the legislature, an AsSoci-
ated Press dispatch said.
However, county residents may fish
for pike and pickerel beginning May
Is. at which time trout fishing also
opens. The bass season opens June 81.

We must face the fact that young
sters will play in the streets-just as
long as there are streets and youngsters.
No matter what laws our Legislature
passes or what rules and regulations
the City Council, the Village Board or
the Town Committee might pass, kids
will continue to run into the highway
and subject themselves to the dangers
of being hit by an automobile.
There Is sacred responsibility on
the part of all drivers to look out for
all children; to expect the unexpected
on their part; and to do their thinking
for them.
The little folks are entirely at the
mercy of the driver Children should
be seen-not hurt
How many mothers have warned
little children about gas stoves or the
danger of any stove?
Recently a little boy two years old
reached for a coffee urn and the con-
tests were spilled over his head.
Doctors are doing everything possible
to save his eyesight, but the burns were
so severe that the child, no doubt, will
be blind for life. Other serious &C
cidents of burning, scalding, and fire
have occurred when children were al
lowed to get in and around stoves
while meals were being prepared.
Mothers should caution and warn
children about these dangers and de-
monstrate why it Is necessary to be
careful A child may not readily
understand, but will learn very fast
by observation and demonstration.

MAIN SECRET
 OF MICHIGAN
 MADE PUBLIC
Great Blocking of Wolver. inc Raises Mischief
 with Opponents

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. S- Stress on good old-fashioned block ing is one reason why Mlchigan's mighty Wolverines have been able to abandon their traditional punt pass and prayer system of foot ball this season.
 Coaches say the present Michi- gan eleven displays better block ing than any Wolverine team since the point minute" days early this century.
 This fall there has been more blocking drill on Ferry Field than in any three seasons O. recent years.
 Veterans who already knew all about defensive play when they reported for preseason practice were set to work blocking.
 Giving an opposing end a free ride" to the sidelines is an effect i've way of shaking ball-carrier loose on off-tackle runs. Usually a guard comes out of the line to help a blocking back take the end out. Much time has been spent training Michigan guards to come out quickly.
 For this work, Coach Kipe's players strengthen their legs by showing each other about the field
 Although the Wolverines still resort to punts and passes to gain ground they have added to these a powerful running attack.
 In their games against Michigan State. Cornell, Ohio State and Chi cago Michigan opponents were outrushed by wide margins.

Officer, Do
 Your Duty,
 Right Away
Can't Be Done for the Sim. ple Reason I'm Not
 on Duty, Sir

There was an interesting sessior of the City Council held at Wran- gell last week, according to the Wrangell Sentinel, in which fists were branished, liar" was hurled and an officer who sprang to make an arrest desisted when he hao not yet gone on duty"
 Here is the account of the in- cident as appearing in the Sen tinel:
 Fireworks Department The fact that the Council is the governing body of the town and
 that some dignity should attach to the Council Chamber and that consideration of the towns affairs by the Council and city officers should be conducted with courtesy
 was entirely lost sight of in a bit ter controversy starting over dog
 tax collections and involving H Ferguson, Night Marshal, and Coun-
 cilmen Hanford and Bidwell.
 Ferguson refused to collect the dog taxes and stated his case badly
 He felt that it was an injustice tc | lSk him to work such long hours
 0n poor pay and resented the fact
 that the highest paid town em- ployee had recently had his salary
 raised $20 a month under the plea )f MIRA requirements, while he himself, was kept on less than g living wage and expected to work more than his present hours, which he stated were 63 a week. He re- | .ented bitterly charges of ineffi-
 eiency and neglect of duty, feeling that he had done his work vel and that the town should appre- ciate the fact Hanford, Chairman of the committee, started out court eously, and ended by almost con- ing to blows with Bidwell, who had been insisting that Ferguson should not be dismissed from office without due investigation of the charges against his efficiency as a police officer.
 Where to Head In
 Hanford, in his anger, told Bid well that he should not have SC much to say; that he had spent more money than any man on the Council, Bidwell, interpreting this to mean that he had bought his

election, called Hanford a damn liar. Both men sprang to their feet brandishing fists across the Coun- cil table. Ferguson jumped from his chair, took hold of Hanforo to put him under arrest, but de- sisted when his attention was called to the fact that he was not on duty until o'clock.
 Hanford resigned as Chairman of the committee, but the Mayor re- fused to allow any action taken on the matter until A. B. Ander- son, the third member of the com nittee, returned.

MICHAEL ARL EN CHANGES. THEME IN LATEST BOOK
Aircraft Combine to Rule World Human Na-
 ture" New Work
By JOHN sELBY

NEW YORK, April 28.-Mihcael Arlen has deserted green hats for pastures that may be still greener for prophetic fantasy, indeed, a literary division that proves at tractive to great many writers of no particular similarity.
 MT. Arlen's Mans Mortality" may have flavors of Wells and Jules Verne. and even Ananias m it, but those who dislike any of those gentlemen should not put the book down because of that. For it is both intelligent and clever, and does not often wander off into laborious descriptions of coming wonders, to the neglect of the story.
 The point is that 50 years in the future a gigantic aircraft combine comes to rule the world, too well. Whereupon mortal mans ineradic- able perversity comes into play, and botches the pretty plan. There are airships half a mile long, rays that make steel soft as butter, projectiles that can be focused upon an objective. which they strike infallibly, marvellous contrivances in marvellous profusion.

Sophisticated Daughter Runs Night
 Club for Munich Set

MUNICH, Germany, April 28.- Vivacious and gifted Erica Mann, daughter of the Nobel literature prize winner, Thomas Mann, has opened a sophisticated night-club here.
 A sparkling g-eyed brunei in her early twenties, she acts as an- nouncer of an au-star cast, and the "Pffeffermuehle," or Pepper Pot" has become the rendezvous of Munichs smart set.
 Her dash to peppery humor, similar to that of her noted father, is as much an attraction as what the average cabaret habitue would call a "highbrow" program.
 Fraeulein Mann is chock-full of varied talents. She has won recog- milton on the stage, writes well, adapts plays and last year won a prize in a 6,O00-mile automobile race through Europe.
 Interested in everything from art to politics, she writes in whimsi- cal vein on current topics and per- sonages. Also she has just pub- lished a children's book.
 Her marriage to Gustav Gruend- gems, a Berlin film director, didn't turn out to be the" adventure and there was separation. So now she lives here with her parents

Fmgerprints FaiI To "Take" Twice M 10000 Tests

CHARLESTON, s. O., April 28.- Only two men in more than 10000 who have appeared before the Charleston Police Bureau of Identi- fication could not be fingerprinted.
 George T. Warren, Jr., finger print expert, explained that one of these men, railroad firemen, had been burned several years before and that the other showed only a series of bumps when the impress sions of his fingers were taken.
 Warren says, however, a person who has been burned does not es- cape Identification entirely, for the print of his feet or part of the palm of his hand can be taken.

But also there are curiously apt haracterizations, such as that of the powerful old gentleman whose feet hurt so from too much walk ing on synthetic marbles and such that he removes his shoes at the slightest opportunity.
 It is the sort of book that some enterprising editor is likely to dig up 50 years hence to show how far short of the truth "a popular nov elist of the 'thirties" fell.
