HOME GARDEN PLAN SAVES TIME, MONEY AND LABOR FOR GARDENER
PLAN AND PREPARE Prepare to do j-our part iu in' creating America' food supply by raising your own vegetables in your borne garden. Plan your garden on paper. Map out your campaign. You will profit through time, labor and money saved.
Planning la preparing. Plan your home garden in advance. Make a diagram of the available space; allot the ground to the vegetables you want to grow. Prepare to make your garden work until frost next fall. That is advice to home gardeners by horticulturists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Do your planning around the winter lamp. Interest in it all members of the family, especially the children who, by being given a partnership now, will know their duties when the time comes. Read such gardening publications as are available. Write to the Department of Agriculture for a home gardening bulletin. In making a diagram of the garden it is well to use tough .paper, such as heavy wrapping jiaper, which will stand repeated handling out of doors. A fairly large scale should be adopted so that full notes can be kept in the spaces representing rows. If Hie garden is fairly large or abnormally long the diagram may be made in separata sections for the Bake of convenience. Plan for Home Needs. A typical plan of this character is shown in the illustration.' This plan, of course, is of use chiefly as an example, and in most cases a different arrangement will be necessary to meet the conditions surrounding individual garden Fpacre. On the plan the gard ner may indicate the approximate date when each of his projected crops is to be planted. No more space should be alloted to each than is needed to furnish a sufficient quantity, of the vegetable for family consumption or for otJier known needs. Make the garden work all summer. Make your plans so that when one crop is ready for the table or for canning another vegetable can be planted between the old rows and new plantings can take the space vacated. Many home gardeners seem content to raise a single crop on each plot of land at their disposal, but it is quite possible to grow two or three crops of some vegetables in one season. A primary consideration in arranging the garden is the kind of cultivation to be employed. Where the work is to be done mainly by means of liorsedrawn tools the arrangement should be such as to give the longest possible rows and a straight outline should be 'followed. The garden fchould be free from paths across the rows and turning spaces should be provided at the ends. For hand cultivation (the method that probably will be used by most home gardeners) the arrangement can be quite different, as the garden may be laid out in sections with transverse walks and the rows can be much closer for most crops. Remember Early Vegetables. It is also important to consider the location of permanent crops such as asparagus and rhubarb. If any of the small fruits such as raspberries, currants and gooseberries are to be planted within the garden Inclosure they should be included with the perma
nent crops. The location and area j
for the hotbed, cold-frame or seed bed thould be decided upon, although there may ba shifted to some convenient rlace outside the garden. Where there is great variety In the composition of the soil in different parts of the garden it will be advisable to note this when arranging for the location of the various crops. Such crops as celery, onions and late cabbage should be planted in land that is not too low and moist. If part of the soil is high, warm and dry, tbat is the

HOUSTON. Tex., Feb. 2S. Every time the National American Woman Suffrage association works up a ma? or table purporting to show all the woman voters in the United States an unexpected hand pops up in an un expected place and says, "Count me, too." Such a hand pops up from Houston. Texas women generally don't vote. Hence they call especial attention to the one woman of their number who
Today's Thrift Stamp Winners
In this plan all the vegetables named
are planted in rows across from the J
inside lateral rows of strawberries. As rapidly as each kind of peas matures and the crop 1b over, kale is planted in its place. The ground to be used for tomatoes is first planted with onion sets, and these onions are used as rapidly as needed. When the time comes to set out the tomatoes, some of the onions are dug to make space for the tomator plants. When the tomato crop is over, the ground is occupied by spinach as the third crop. Spinach is also planted as soon as the bulb onions from the side are gathered. The beans, carrots, and peas are succeeded by late cabbage, and between the rows of late cabbage "potatoonion" sets are planted. Late, beans are planted between the rows of parsnips after the radishes and lettuce have been gathered.
proper location for early crops and those that need a quick, warm soil. Points to Conaider. Remember these points in planning your garden: A gentle slope toward the south or southeast is most desirable for the production of early crops. It is an advantage to have protection on the north and northeast by either a hill, a group of trees or hedge, buildings, a tight board fence or a stone wall to break the force of the wind. The land should have sufficient drainage for surplus water to run off during heavy rains, but the fall should not be go great that the soil will be washed. Fill up holes in which water will accumulate. Avoid banks of a creek or streani liable to overflow. A good fence around the garden plot is almost indispensable to keep out damaging animals. The garden should be as near the kitchen as possible so that the work of caring for the crops may be done at odd times and so that the vegetables are quickly available to the housewife.
Thursday's four best limericks are: There was once a soldier in the cavalry Who always turned in bis salary To buy some Thrift Stamps To keep up the camps And help U. S. defeat. Germany. Philip Hiss. Remember the people over in France Who are needing money from our Thrift Stamps If we don't buy them, they will cry And wipe the tears from out their eye. Edith Lewis, 129 South Fifteenth street.
Hurrah, hurrah for Uncle Sam; He will capture the kaiser's land The people will help the kaiser in camps By allowing their children to buy Thrift Stamps. George Thurston, 203 Lincoln St. There were a million Sammies, Entering a port in France, When the Frenchmen saw them coming, They all began to dance, So kids lets all get together. And buy some more Thrift Stamps, So we can send a million more Sammiese, To our dear beloved France. Richard Zieler.
does. She is Mrs. Hortense Ward, their local president. As a member of the Texas bar she votes in ttu election of special judges. Not a largo share of suffrage perhaps, but still suffrage and a tiny crack in the opening door. Mrs. Ward was admitted to the Texas bar in 1910, the first woman lawyer in the state. In 1915 with her
husband and partner, Judge W. H. Ward. he was admitted to the SU-
nrcmft tar the first woman south of
the Mason and Dixon line to be ad
mitted to the supreme bar and tne first woman in the United States to
be admitted with her husband.
But it is not as a pioneer woman, nor as the only woman voter in the state, that Mrs. Ward is most loved by the women of Texas. It is as the author of the married women's property right act. Before the passage of this bill the rishts of the married wo
men of Texas were chiefly interesting because of their absence. But in 1913 Mrs. Ward went to Austin, armed with a bill correcting many of the evils in the laws on this subiect. The story
of her three months' campaign against
seemingly unsurmountaple ditncuitps is a long one, but the outstanding ff ct is that she won. The bill was passed, signed, became the law and Texas women are now enjoying its protection. Mrs. Hortenae Ward. As chairman of the Houston Equal Suffrage association and her senatorial district as well Mrs. Ward plays an important rart in the campaign that Texas women hope will soon end in the ratification of the federal suffrage amendment. Mrs. Ward is also active in the program of war service being carried on by the, Texas Equal Suffrage association.
Owners Must Pay Taxes on Destroyed Property HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. 28. Owners of property destroyed by fire which swept over an area of 2 square miles after the explosion of a munition ship In the harbor here on December 6, must pay taxes on homes which no longer exist, under a ruling by the court of tax appeals. In dismissing petitions for remission of taxes, the court held that as the assessments had been levied before the fire there was no legal way by which property owners could be relieved of libility. It was pointed out that the magnitude of the disaster did not make the case' any different from one which might arise from the destruction of a single building and that the city was in no position to assume an attitude of generosity. The taxes in question were levied for the year beginning May 1 next and the appeals were based on the ground that such property would not be in existence during that period. Selects May Enlist in Navy, Says Recruiter Navy Recruiter Goldfarb announced Thursday that men wishing to enlist in the navy now had another chance as the men who were on the old waiting list are now in the navy.
