GARDENS INTEREST SCHOOL CHILDREN . , -. Seed Planted in More Than 200 Plots Under Direction of Prof . Thompson.

Work of establishing the municipal school gardens of the city ia well under way at the Whitewater, Moore and the Garfield schools. Although the weather has hindered the work to some extent a god part of, the plots have been planted and the success of the venture seems assured. The ground at the different gardens has been divided Into small sections, each student to have charge of a plot. At the Whitewater and the Moore schools, about 200 plots have been laid out for as many scholars. In this way each student Is responsible for his part of the garden and friendly rivalry stimulates interest In the work. Try Early Varieties. All sorts of vegetables, as well as all varlties of flowers will be grown in the gardens. The plots at present are being planted with a crop of early vegetables. Flowers will border the fences and the edges of the gardens, while climbing plants and vines will be planted to cover the fences. Later on it is planned "to raise some special plants but the common varities will be grown at first The matter of building a greenhouse at the Moore school may be taken up isoon. Prof. John F. Thompson, who has charge of the work, thinks that this would be the ideal location for the building, as conditions at that place are more favorable than at any other school in the city. This school has a large plot of ground adjoining, that is owned by the city and could be used for this purpose.

While they were removing some shutters their torch burned through the frame wall. When the fire was - discovered the painters made an unsucessful effort to put It out and then summoned the fire department.

SPRING PLANTING IIOWjl SEASON Agent Cobb Gives Advice on Soil Preparation and Selection of Seed for City Gardeners.

POOR SEED IS A LOSS

Beans Best Crop for Worn Ground Collecting Nitrogen and Other Beneficial Organic Materials.

With this spring's variable weather seed planting has been a little uncertain, but from now on farmers, trucksters and the back lot gardner with his plot of ground between the kitchen door and the back fence, will be busy preparing for the ultimate harvest. In the first place, it will be necessary thoroughly to go over the ground with plow, spade or rake, according

to the magnitude of the planting operations. ThlB is generally understood by those who plant anything at all, although sometimes the rule is heed-1

lessly overlooked either because or ignorance or shiftlessness. The city man who raises his little crop of tomatoes, onions, beans, cabbage, radishes, lettuce, peas or whatever else pleases his fancy, often does so because it is his hobby, and not because he must depend upon it to help in the support of the family, and he is often successful in his endeavors because he does make it a hobby. However, many who feel the need of the supply of vegetables fail because they overlook little points such as the careful preparation of the soil. Test All Seeds. It Is just as important to test vegetable seeds for germination and purety as it is to test clover, alfalfa, corn or any other big farm crop seeds. This cannot be too deeply impressed upon

novice in gardening. In spite of the many scientific principles which have been introduced into farming, among the first of which is emphasized the necessity of using tested seeds, many farmers have failed to recognize this need, and as a consequence are not making the advance financially that their more progressive neighbors have made. It is said that one bad ear of corn planted means a loss of four or Ave dollars at the end of the season. Other classes of seeds lacking In germination or purety mean a proportionate loss to the planter and a keen disappointment at harvest time. For poor soil a crop of beans is excellent, and the old saying of lifeless

ground, "It is too poor even to raise beans," illustrates the heartiness of this plant, which is a nitrogen gatherer, besides a great producer of organic matter beneficial to heavy soils. Bunch beans for the gardener find a ready market and soy beans are valuable to the farmer for hay and for general feeding and may be planted In standing corn. Use of Fertilizer. Soil used for truck gardening should be freely mixed with well rotted manure. Fertilizer should be used freely, as garden crops respond readily to it. Advice can be secured on fertilizing matters by consulting County Agent Cobb at the court house. Fertilizers, sold by the seed stores, are analyzed so that the inexperienced person by a few inquiries can, readily pick the right kind. The determining factor in obtaining a maximum of any crop is purity of

seed stock, with soil preparation and

oare as essential side issues. Of course,

care must be taken to plant the seed in the proper soil and at the proper time, as these elements are almost as necessary as the seed itself. The

necessity of high grade 'seed has been recognized by the men who sell seed for general use, and dealers will see that their customers are not given seed which is Impure, that is, not containing foreign matter, and that they seed which will germinate. : It is better to plant such garden produce as tomatoes, lettuce and cabbage indoors early in the spring, and set out the plants at the proper time.

However, within a few days the proper time for planting the seed for these plants when the method of planting first in a box indoors will be at hand.

HOW YOU MAY THROW AWAY YOUR GLASSES

The statement is made that thousands wear eyeglasses who do not really need them. If you are one of these unfortunates, then these glasses may be ruining your eyes instead of helping them. Thousands who wear "win-, (lows" may prove for themselves that they can dispense with glasses if they will get the following prescription filled at once: Go to any aotivt drug store and get a bottle of Opto ifta; fill a two-ounce bottle with v,:r ter and drop in one Optoma table: With this harmless liquid solution bathe the eyes two or four times daily and yon are likely to be astonished at the results right from the N start. Many who have been told that they have astigmatism, eyestrain, cataract, sore eyelids, weak eyes, conjunctivitis and other eye disorders, report wonderful benefits from the use of this free prescription. Get this prescription filled and use it; you may so strengthen your eyes that glasses will not be necessary. Thousands who are blind or nearly so, or who wear glasses would never have required them if they had cared for their eyes In time. Save your eyes before it is too late! Do not become one of these victims of neglect. Eyeglasses are only like crutches and every few years they must be chang- , ed to fit the ever-increasing weakened condition, so better see if you can, like many ' others, get clear, healthy, strong magnetic eyes through the prescription here given.
