RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

Hotbeds Aid Gardener in Starting Crops

Preparing a home garden hotbed Hotbeds and cold frames enable the home gardener to lengthen the growing season for his crops. With them he can start bis operations a few weeks in advance of the last chilly days of spring, before which it is not possible to plant out of doors. Throughout the spring and summer these beds may be utilized, and after the first fall frost they furnish protection for late vegetables. Making a Hotbed Sash. The manure should be thrown in a flat pile a few feet away from where the bed is to be constructed and the pile turned about twice at intervals of three or four days. As it is turned the outer portion of the pile is thrown to the middle and the inner portion to the outside, in order to get uniform heating throughout. Then put the manure into the pit, each forkful being shaken to break it apart and spread it evenly. It should be well tramped. Put in a layer about 3 inches deep, then another layer, treading each until the pit has been filled level with the ground. In case the manure is rather dry, a little water should be sprinkled over it as it-is spread in the bed. It should be just moist enough to pack reasonably solid but springy under the feet. Hotbeds can' be made of a size in Stable Manure Best Heavily fertilized garden Stable manure makes the best and cheapest garden fertilizer, according to the United States department of agruculture. It should be applied in the fall in quantities to make a two inch covering all over the surface. As a spring substitute for such an application or as an aid to it, commercial fertilizer may be used. When manure lias been on the garden during the winter, it should be turned under early in the spring. Where this amount of manure is used very little chemical fertilizer is needed. However, manure very ofen does not have a sufficient quantity of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in it, and is may be desirable to add commercial fertilizers containing 2 or 3 per cent nitrogen, 8 to 10 per cent phosphoric acid, and 3 to 6 per cent potash, at the rate of 100 pounds on a tenth-acre garden. This also tan be spread broadcast, and worked into the soil when the land is being pulverized ready for planting. Require Specials. Several crops require special fertilizers. For instance, lettuce, cabbage, j-pinach, kale, and in fact all of the NEW LAW PRINCIPLES EMBODIED IN THE OHIO LEGISLATIVE BILLS COLUMBUS, O.. March 25. Many new principles of law were sought to be added to the Ohio statutes, widely and broadly affecting capital, labor and human relationships, in the form of bills introduced and adopted and amendments made during the session of the Ohio general assembly Thursday. Both bodies practically quit for the week, the senate adjourning in the afternoon until Monday, and the house planning only a brief session today. Of the principles proposed one of the most important is a bill by Senator Frank E. Whittemore, of Summit, by which the state would absolve itself from all financial responsibility for workmen's compensation and would lay all of the cost upon industry through the employers. This, it is believed, will be opposed most vigorously by employers, particularly manufacturers, who will join it with their opposition to the re-organization code provisions, which vest the present powers of the industrial commission of three members with the proposed director of industrial relations. Wage Bill is Passed Of the principles adopted, the most important was the Reynolds-Schrimp-er minimum wage bill, which was pased by the house of representative3 Thursday by a vote of 77 to 17 upon a tacit understanding that the senate would kill it. Still another, in the form of an amendment to the Taylor bill, providing local option on Sunday motion picture shows, was offered by House Majority Leader C. C. Crabbe of Madi-i

mtmnur, aaiauM to get ahead of jack frost. any multiple of the size of the sash, three by six feet. The pit should be 12 to 18 inches deep and about one wagon load of manure used for a twosash bed. The frame, which is set on top of the manure, should be six inches higher on the north than on the South side. Put the sash on and leave Uie bed to heat for several days. First the manure will become very hot, then after two or three days it will gradually cool. The temperature will then remain more moderate. No seeds should be planted until the temperature of the soil has fallen below 85 degrees. Use a thermometer, the bulb of which is buried about three inches (Jeep in the soil. Feeling the bed with the hand is not a reliable method of taking the temperature. Have a piece of old carpet or a burlap mat to throw over the sash for protection on ex tremely cold nights. Hotbeds should be watched during warm weather and ventilated by raising the sash slightly to allow air to circulate, closig it toward evening. Cold frames are hotbeds . without heat, sash covered frames banked to keep out cold, but with no artificial heat. They are used for growing or for hardening plants started in hot beds. Garden Fertilizer means Increased production salad crops, and those which are grown for greens, need plenty of nitrogen to make leaf growth. These crops might well be stimulated during their growing period by a little nitrate of soda, not exceeding 10 pounds on a tenth of an acre at any one application. The applications should be at least three weeks apart. It should not be applied within 6 inches of the plants or in too large quantities, or burning will fnllniv and inint-A t hf nlantc Fruits and crops like beans, peas, and com that are grown for their seeds need plenty of phosphoric acid. Root crops, as potatoes, carrots, ana Deets require plenty of potash. Many gardens are improved by ap plications or lime. However, it may injure Irish potatoes, for lime promotes scab, a disease to which they are susceptible. Another way to improve garden soil is the use of "green-manure'' crops, such as clovers, rye. alfalfa, barley, and in fact, almost anything which will grow upon the land during the fall and j winter.

IND FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1921.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. 8a n born

Now that the threatened strike at the various stock yards in which the big packers are most directly Interested has been averted, Ihe stock raiser and shipper can breathe more freely. Their markets are not to be cut off. at least not until September 15 of this year, aJ: which lime it is sincerely hoped that working conditions and wages will have been stabilized. What has just happened at Washington was the effecting of a truce. The recent cut in wages by the packers, stands. The basic eight-hour day and overtime rates, stand. Packers agreed that the present arbitration system shall also stand during the life of this agreement six months. That is the nub of the entire matter. Wages are lowered and while the union officers were and are -opposed to the acceptance of the terms it was thought best to submit for the present. They want no strikes nor riots at this time. To Pre par for War. Redmond S. Brennan. attorney for the packing house employe, said: "We have si fined a truce to prepare for war. We entered this agreement to avert bloodshed. The position of the workers was so fair and reasonable that if a .strike has resulted the fury of the impatient men would have broken forth under a new kind of leadership and the strike would have brn waares more viciously and intellipently than any ever seen before in this country." Sounds like a threat, doesn't it? Smells of gunpowder nd dynamite, at this distance. But perhaps Mr. Redmond was unduly wrought up. That is the most charitable explanation. Every regulation of war days will be swept into the discard and the Anschuler s-tock yards agreement will ; expire on September 15. The packers promise to periect measures and agreements, as far as that may be possible, to take immediate effect on that date, and hope that work will go on smoothly thereafter, and in this the country will wish them well. HeaVy Drop in Calves. The large receipts of calves at Chicago on Wednesday resulted in a decline of $1 in the price, as compared with Tuesday's range. At the low price they were selling $2 below the levels of l?te last week. Packers paid but $9 to $9.50 while f-hippers went as high as $10.75 for choice lots. This fact imnlies a tremendous loss to farmers snd shippers. This sort of thing is the primary cause of the aeitat'nn by farmers for co-operative shipping and marketing: associations: for home rc eulation of the numbers of live ftock shipped: for some means of stabilizing prices; for a better control of prices by the men who feed live stock. Consumers Not Benefitted. Such sudden drops are disastrous to farmers but do not benefit the public. If you think they do benefit the consumer asK your Dutcner a aay or two i later when these cheap veals come on I the butcher's block. Ask the restaur-j ant roan when he serves you veal i chops. They will tell you, if they are honest about it, that they can take no note of these temporary ups and) downs. That the Drice f veals may ; co back to a new high shortly. While ; I it is true th?t meats at retail are somej lower ina.ii uurui me uays vi viutuic i hijrh prices, it is also true that prime I cuts are still mighty expensive, as com- j pared with the pric? paid for live stock, or indeed with the wholesale prices for carcass beef, pork, and veal. This applies to consumers living within the smell of tfie Chicago or Indianapolis stock yards, right wnere the Ftock is slaughtered, as well as to those living in Wayne county, or in a thousand towns in this country.

County Agent Dolan went to New Cattle this morning. Affairs of particular interest to tile agents and relating to their duties are up for discussion. These meetings are held monthly and it is likely that the April

meeting will be held In Richmond. Cheek Up Your Freight Bills. The farmers or this district have been warned to check up their freight bills to detect overcharges where such might occur. The warning comes from the Illinois Agricultural .association. which cites many eases where refunds have been obtained for members. A car of cottonseed meal, billed from Oklahoma and purchased through the state marketing service, arrived in Richmond about three weeks ago, and the count of the bags contained show ed quite .an overcharge as to weight billed. The farmer to whom the carj was consigned received notice oni Thursday that the matter had been adjusted and a check awaited him at the railroad office. The car contained shipments for several parties and the refund will be divided accordingly. Overcharge on Stock Sales. The Centerville co-operative slock shipping folks have been in the habit of shipping in the name of the association, while at the same time furnishing the-commission men the names of the individual owners of the stock in the car. On a recent carload the commission men wrote to Ben Gaiser, manager at Centerville, telling him that he must pay extra where the names of various shippers were given, and referred him "to your Mr. Oler," the federation representative at the Indianapolis yards. Mr. Gaiser was advised that an extra charge of $10 was therefore deducted on the car for which settlement was enclosed. After some correspondence indicating that future shipments would be sent to some other concern, unless this extra charge was refunded or at least ommitted in the future, a representative of the firm visited Centerville and fixed matters up, including the refunding of the $10.

FARMERS MAKE GOOD ON GIFTS OF CORN. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March 25. Indiana farmers in spite of the very early spring and weather conditions unfavorable to shipping shelled corn, are nevertheless making an earnest

effort to do their part In the gift corn project. The Indianapolis office of the Indiana. Federation of Farmers' associations, bas information that a dozen carloads have already started, or will start within the next few days, for destinations designated by officers at the National headquarters in Chicago. Ttfe following counties have contributed one or more cars to these shipments: orter. Tippecanoe, Wayne, Carroll. Fulton, Union and Vanderburg. Requests for additional cars are reaching the Indianapolis office every day. Illinois still holds first place as the largest contributor, with Indiana. Ohio. Minnesota. Nebraska and Missouri all active. Mr. Carl S. Vrooman, in charge ot the gift corn project for the American Farm Bureau Federation, and Prince Casimir Lubomirski, Polish minister to the United States, will this week make a tour of several of the corn producng states for the purpose of encouraging the movement and expressing appreciation of the generosity of the farmers. It is announced that they will be in Indianapolis on March 31. Their itinerary will also take them to Iowa, Nebraska. South Dakota, Minnesota and some other states.
