The Garden
Department
By Ferdinand Wiener

The largest blooms in the garden
now are furnished by the Hibiscus
plants, the blooms of which are
seven to eight inches across, re-
sembling somewhat those of the
Hollyhock, but so much larger.
This plant, which Is related to the
cotton plant, is hardy and doing
well in most any soil, prefering a
warm, sunny. and protected loca-
ton, is one of the showiest peren-
malls to be had at this time of the
year. The plants are slow to start
in spring, waiting until the wealth
er becomes warm and settled be-
fore showing much signs of growth.
August is the best month to
transplant Oriental Poppies. I am
quoting a writer in the Flower
Grower" on the culture of these
snowy peoples, who writes as fol-
lows
There is nothing more brilliant
ly attractive-more strikingly no
ticeable in any garden-than a
clump Of Oriental Poppies. The or
ange-scarlet, with big velvety black
spots, Is the one most frequently
seen and, I think the Prince
Charming Of them all. although
there are blood-reds, lavenders,
salmons and whites, all of which
are very beautiful.
Many times I had bought plants,
only to have them die, and many
times had planted seed-with but
very little success-simply because
I did not know how to care for
them. Finally bought plants in
the dormant season, and set them
out. After becoming established in
their new home they made wonder
full growth in the fall.
Oriental Poppies are quite har-
dy, and stay green most Of the win
ter under light covering which
they should have. When spring
comes the plants make rapid
growth and very soon big fat buds
appear. In few days, these buds

Man Is Beaten
By Two Soldiers
Warrant Expected Monday for Ar
rest-Inspection OF
Camp Seen

A warrant was expected by s..
Cloud police Monday morning
charging two members of the Third
U. s. Infantry, now encamped there
with Assault. The warrant has not
been turned over to police for SER
vice up to mid-morning but had
been promised.
The charge, it filed, will be the
result of an alleged attack on Ar
chic Graham, an employee of the
West hotel on Breckenridge and
16 avenues. Graham, according to
the story told police, was struck
by one Of the soldiers and pushed
through a plate glass window at
the front of the hotel.
Graham suffered painful injur-
les, including the loss of tooth, a
cut lip and other decorations sus-
tanned as glass from the window
fell.
If the warrant is issued, st.
Cloud police will go to the army
camp and demand a showdown of
the men in the outfit. There was
a possibility that the alleged Of
tenders were not members of the
Third Infantry, it was pointed out
this morning. There were other sol
diers here Saturday night and Sum-
day who had no connection with
this outfit-St. Cloud Times.

burst into radiant brilliance, to
my joy and satisfaction.
Do not buy peoples in the spring
and expect them to do their best.
Buy them in their dormant season,
in August or early September
carefully plant them-let their
roots become established-the little
feeding roots active and ready for
work in the spring and you will
have glorious Poppies in your gar
den, and thrilling satisfaction in
your heart"
I might add that the words Of
the writer are very true which I
have learned from my own exper-
fence with Oriental Poppies.
This week during the fair days,
the fourth annual flower show will
be held in the Sank Centre build
ing and the show committee be-
lieves that it will be supported
with the usual hearty cooperation
as in the past, which has made
every show a success, in spite OF
the rather unfavorable seasons.
Everyone who has flowers that are
good at all. should bring them, for
often they are left at home in the
expectation that there will be better
ones, but sometimes the grower Is
not aware Of the good qualities OF
his own flowers, which would have
won prizes had they been brought
along. Outside of winning prizes,
there Is the satisfaction Of having
contributed to the success Of the
show, which Is good deal. The
city Of Paynesville Is also staging
flower show on the 18th of Aug
ust, to be held at the Paynesville
library.
Remember the first day of the
fair Is entry day all dav, cut your
flowers early, plunge deeply into
water and keep in a cool place, be-

Miss Lindeloff is anxious that
persons interested in the work the
library is doing, will avail them
selves of the opportunity to OBJ
serve the display box at the

plete box packed with variety of
books has been prepared for the
Fair and exhibited so that people
may see just what is taking place

the first in this section Of the
state to offer this service. Similar
plans have been worked for some
time in Hennepin County and sew
eral places in the northern part OF
the state.
The list of schools which have

Caution Corn-Hog
Contract Signers
Must Produce Both ESQ of Corn
Base and Base Number
of Hogs

Corn-Hog contract signers in
Stearns County are again caution
ed by the Extension Office at st.
Cloud that in order to qualify for
benefit payments all producers will
have to produce both $3.50 of their
corn base acreage in 1895 and also
rs per cent Of their base numbers
as far as hogs are concerned. Let
US say for example in the 1895 con-
tract the baseacreage is 40 acres.
Then it will be necessary to have
at least 10 acres planted to corn
Likewise, If an Individuals hog
base in the contract is 40 hogs II
will be necessary to produce at
least 10 for market during the pre-
sent contract year.
In the case Of hogs this has a ra-
ther important significance in
Stearns county because num-
Der of contract signers almost
passed out of the picture as far as
hog production is concerned follow,
ing the drought of 1884. In 9TH
err words little or no feed was found
on farms to produce hogs with and
rather than purchase a lot OF ex-
pensive feed a number of contract
signers chose to produce very few
or no hogs.
The A. A. A. at Washington rea-
sons that a ruling Of the above
type is necessary in order to safe
guard to some extent the produc-
ton of these commodities on farms
without having a cut in production
that is too drastic. Likewise, 1t Is
being carried out to keep produc-
ers who may have changed their
farming plans completely or have
ceased to farm from securing bene-
fit payments.

Restoration of Cross and Poke
CANA lake Is called for in Pine
county. In Blue Earth county, near
Mankato, control works and dixie
at the mouth of the Blue Earth
river to create a lake would be
constructed. Diversion of the
MILESTONE river into Big Stone
lake is sought at Ortonville in Big
Stone county.
In Stevens county, near Morris,
a dam and dyke to create lake on
the Pomme de Terre river would
be erected. Balaton, Lyons county
asks restoration of Lake Yankton
to it's normal level by daming a
creek. Erection of dams at the out
lets of both North and South Heron
lakes is the project proposed in
Jackson county.

couraging," Christgau stated. I'VE
are working night and day in all
departments and with this kind
of cooperation, we can have the
program in full swing by the time
harvesting has been completed
Action now, in submitting project
plans is imperative. he declared to
avoid possible delays in making
wPA Jobs available to the unem-
ployed. He urged all local sponsors
of worthy and sound projects to
prepare their preliminary plans
and place them with their area en-
gineers at once.
Meanwhile, w. r. Sassaman, dir
ector of labor management, receiv-
ed word from the U. S. Employ
ment Service that more than $4,000
cards containing names and data
of persons on relief are ready to be
transferred to the files Of the
Works Progress Administration.
Emphasizing that the unemploy-
ed "are to be given jobs instead OF
relief" Sassaman declared, 1T is
the governments purpose in this
program to bridge the gap from
relief to a return to employment
in private industry. If man can
get private employment, we shall
urge him to-
Fright now, for instance" Sas-
saman pointed out, 1--WE are not
starting any projects in rural areas
where our labor requirements
would interfere with farmers who
need help in harvesting"
Though WPA salaries will aver
age lower than wages for the same
kind of labor in private enterprise,
Sassaman said, 'WPA jobs will
have the advantage of security for
the worker"
For one thing" he said. "his
wPA wage cannot be garnisheed.
But aside from that, once an indiv-
idual is employed, WPA obligates
itself to his continuous employment
for the length of the program.
When a project is finished, he Is
reassigned to another project"
The WPA wage scale in COM
munities under 5000, according to
the executive order of President
Roosevelt will be: for unskilled
work, $40, for intermediate work
$45; for skilled work, SIS; and for
professional or technical work
