By ii%. Knox, Horticulturist.
It is estimated that the acreage de
voted to home gardens in 1917 was
from 200 to 300 per cent greater than
the average year. This increased
acreage was doubtless due to the fact
that almost as soon as war was 4o
clared against Germany last spring
there kienl out a request from the
Washington office that the h>ome gar
den be given especial attention There
is no easier or better way to get an
abundance of freah vegetables than
tp grew them on our own bom-. ,T ^
*ave again been asked during 191S
/to grow all of the vegetables we
can in the home;garden during 1918.
The prospects for a shortage of
cars to haul foodstuffs or even a short
age of the food itself during 1918 are
greater than the<y were last year.
The South has been asked to grow Its
own supply of food during the war,
and this we can easily do. There are
few of our states that can feed their
population more easily than can Ark
ansas., Wo have the soil, climate, and
rainfall, and can grow almost any
vegetable that will grow elsewhere.
Must Have a Garden Plan.
Fewr of us appreciate fully the value
of a garden pla'n. A plan of the gar
den will enable you to utilize the
space in the garden to better advan
tage, and consequently Rive you a
greater amount of vegetables from a
given area. A garden pdunting pro
gram telling what variety of the dif
ferent vegetables to plant and when
to plant them can be had free of
charge by writing to the Extension
Division, Old Statehouse, little Rock,
Ark.
Companion Cropping la an Advantage.
It is to our advantage wrtiere the
space for gardening is limit ad to prac
tice what is known as companion crop
ping. That Is. of growing one crop
between the rows of another. For in
stance, turnips, radishes, or lettuce
can be grown between longer season
crops, such as potatoes, etc., and may
be set between these rows. Some of
the market gardeners around larg<
cities often have two or even thre<
crops on the land at the same time.
Succession Cropping Produces
Results.
Another system of cropping thr
home garden, and this is where most
of our Southern gardeners fail, is th<
system known as succession^ cropping
That is, we plant a numtter of short
season vegetables w-hich occupy the
soil for only a few weeks. All o!
these should be grouped as nearly to
get her as possible, so that after their
I period of usefulness we can take
them out and plant something else in
thefr place. Radishes, lettuce, peas
and similar early maturing crops may
be followed by tomatoes, pepper, egg
plant, sweet corn, or a second plant
ing of beans, squashes or cucumbers,
or whatever vegetables you may pre
fer.
Fertilizer and Good Soil Increase
Quality and Yield.
Remember that no vegetable will
thrive on a poor soil and have thf
quality that, it would have if it
were grown on a fertile soil with
plenty of available moisture. Well
rotted stable manure is possibly the
best fertilizer that we could use, but
since many of the gardeners cannot
secure a supply of this fertilizer it
will be necessary to resort to com
mercial fertilizers. Potash is too high
in nrice for us to use It liberally, but
we can apply equal parts of eottOB
seed meal and acid phosphate at the
rate of 1,000 to 1,500 pounds per acre
and ordinarily Ret fairly good results.
If this amount is used It. would
be best to broadcast most of it and
harrow into the soil, saving enough
to apply 300 to 400 pounds in the
row, mixing it with the soil before
sowing the seed or setting the plants
Care Is Necessary.
Keep the surface of the garden soil
well stirred. It is much easier 1c
combat grasses and weeds by keeping
after them than it is to delay the
cultivation until these things get a
hold on the soil. It will require only
a few minutes each week to take a
horse and harrow and clean the
weeds out of the garden. The ends
of the garden fence can be made of
woven wire or poultry wire and put up
in sections so it can be taken down
while cultivating the garden. Grass
and wpeds use plant food that the
vegetables need for their growth
Keep them out.

WHAT THE
RED CROSS
IS DOING
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO
JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP.
Junior Membership has developed in response to an earnest
desire of pupils in many states to render patriotic service in this
time of need. It was natural that the school children should wish
to become a part of the great Red Cross movement for war relief.
Planned and administered by educators, Junior Membership can
not fail to be of value in vitalizing the work of the schools, while
their total product will be of great service to the Red Cross.
The following important facts should
be generally known:
1. That the organization was formed in
response to a demand from schools.
2. That leading educators all over the
country are advisers to the organization
and its activities.
3. That President Vi Ison has Issued a
call to all school children and teachers to
Join in this patriotic work.
4 That junior membership is open to
all boys and girls of school age attending
public, private or parochial schools, or
attending other organized educational
centers, huT only to such student bodies
as a whole.
5. That junior ljiembership is open to
grades in the school, providing the school
contemplates complete organization later,
but not to individual pupils
6. That Junior membership is granted
when a sum equal to 25 cents for each
child in the school has been contributed
to the chapter school fund or when the
school is pledged to prepare Red Cross
supplies or engage in other Red Cross
work approved and supervised by the
Red Cross chapter.
7. That all money raised is to be spent
for materials which will be ut?ed by the
school for its Red Cross work. No a>art
of the school fund Is used for local Red
Cross expenses, and no part goes to
Washington.

The Leap of the Black Bass.
The leap of tile black bass 1m always
directly upward when hooked, and he
generally falls tall first Into the water.
At times, however, this fish, like the
trout, will rise vigorously to the fly
and, missing it, will make a graceful
curve in the air ere he goes quietly
head down hack to his element. But
us a rule the bass rises fiercely to the
fly with mi accurate nim, and goes
instantly to his lair.—All Outdoors.
The Bald Eagle.
Our national bird, the bald eagle,
wild In Its native haunts, Is so large,
so majestic, and flies with an evi
dence of so enormous strength, that
one Is Impressed with the thought that
here Is the king of birds. On one oc
casion while eating m.v lunch In the
shade of a little bush on a Southern
prnirle, I saw one carry off a lamb,
writes T. Gilbert Pearson of the Au
dubon society.

IWAR SAVING
S United States Government
STAMPS
Baby Bonds
I
WHAT ARE THEY?
They are War Saving Stamps.
They are of two kinds—United States Thrift
Stamps (25c each) United States War
Saving Stamps ($4.12 each)
Sixteen U. S. Thrift Stamps plus 12 cents in
cash up to February 1, 1918, will buy a
War Saving Stamp, which when attached
to a War Saving Certificate is guaranteed
by the government to be redeemable on
January 1, 1 925 for $5.00 which is 4 per
cent, compounded quarterly.
The U. S. Thrift Gard is a pocket-sized card
given free to Thrift Stamp purchasers.
The War Saving Certificate is a pocket-sized
folder given free to War Savings Stamp
purchasers.
War Savings Stamps are as safe as the U. S.
When Shall I Buy Them?
Buy them now, because the cost increases one
cent every month after January 51st.
The sooner you buy the less they cost.
The price of War Savings Stamps is $4.12 to
January 51st and increases one cent a
month until Dec. when price is $4.25.
BUY
War Stamps
NOW
It is the patriotic duty
of all who do not fight
to help sustain those
who do. Don't be a
slacker. Do your bit.
This adverisement is donated to the War Sav
ings Stamp Committee by the Mercantile Department
of the Union Saw Mill Gompany.
HOW TO BUY!
As simple as buying postage stamps.
This is the simplest security ever offered by a
government. Any man, woman, or child
who can save 25 cents can obtain at any
Postoffice or Bank a U. S. Thrift Stamp
and a Gard. This starts you as an inves
tor and puts you behind the government.
No commissions are charged to you or paid to
any for making sales.
Our soldiers and sailors may give their lives;
your are asked only to lend vour money.
Every stamp helps save a life.
Every stamp helps end the war.
WHY Should I Buy Them?
Because—We are at war. Because—The
more we save, the more labor and mater
ial will be available for support of army.
•Because—We must have dollars as well as
men in the fight for freedom.
Because—They establish the basis of saving,
which is the key to individual success.
Because—There is no safer investment.
Because—They increase each month in value
