Next to warmth and sunlight in Importance Is sufficient moisture to urge growth. When the plants liuve reached an age when they are large enough to Inremoved from the flat--without Injury to the roots, they should be transplanted to small pots or berry baskets --anything that will hold the soil and a little moisture. Cartons serve this purpose very well. Another transfer of the plant is advisable as the roots became matted --an indication that the basket or j It not large enough. It will be not that a larger container will so be found too small, nnd that an ad ditional repotting will be advantageous, If a larger and healthier plant is desired. Many careful gardeners make at least three transplanting before the plant is set out in the open. By that time it is strong enough to battle the elements with tile possible exception of frost. In setting the plant in the open, by this careful and interesting method of transplanting, the roots intact with the mass of soil dinging, may be Old-Fashioned Posies May Be Relied Upon to Produce; Will Add Beauty to Premises. When making plans for the home vegetable garden all the emphasis should not be pluced upon vegetables, but provision should be made for planting a few flowers as well. Where a cottage and a lawn are included in the general scheme the flowers can qften be arranged around the foundation of the house, or in a bed separating the lawn either from a neighboring property or from the vegetable garden. Old fashioned zinnia, petunia, bachelor's button, cockscomb, scarlet sage, and cosmos are among the most easily cultivated flowers and go a long way toward brightening up the general appearance of the home surroundings. Where space will permit a flower garden consisting of dahlias, asters, canas, roses, gladioli, and various other flowering plants that will add color and beauty to the place, and at the same time furnish cut flowers for the house, is highly desirable. From the standpoint of economy, the plantings around the foundations of the house should, as a rule, be made of permanent low-growing shrubbery, mainly that which grows native In the locality, and the annual flowering plants given a place in connection with The Daisy--The American Legion's Official Flower. the garden proper or in a border. It is urged, however, by the United States Department of Agriculture that more attention be given to improvement of home surroundings, including the care of a good lawn and flowers.

Home gardeners who hnve hot-water heating plants in their dwellings may find it convenient to use this source of heat in S hotbed where plants can be grown ID early spring, garden specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture say. In case this is done a pit should be dug and the walls built of concrete and a raised floor of boards placed in the pit to hold the soli. Heating pipes or radiators are placed beneath this floor. An opening 1 Inch wide should be left around the floor next to the walls for the heat to pass upward Into the bed. The tops of tne walls are fitted with a framework of lumber to support the sash. Owing to the scarcity of manure for beating hotbeds the pipe-heated bed is recommended wherever It can be connected direct to the system which Is employed t« heat the house. LARGE TOMATO PLANTS When extra large tomato plants are desired, the following plan is very satisfactory: Sow seed during February. Trunspiant seedlings in four weeks, spacing two inches apart. Three weeks later transplant four inches apart and three weeks later set in berry baskets or four-inch pots. Such large, stocky plants should contain several flowers and perhaps a few green tomatoes when set .in the field. DO NOT FEED FROZEN FOOD Oreen feed must never be given to chickens when It Is frozen.

Furnish Working Capital to Farmer Easily Mid Qpickly--U. 8. Must ' Meet Present Crisis. Washington, Jan. 25.--Feasibility of the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes water way* project "is unquestioned," President Harding declared before the nathinal agricultural conference. "I have spoken," the' President said, "of the advantage which Europe en- i joys because of Its easy access to the sea, the cheapest and surest transport at ion facility. In our own coun- ' try is presented one of the world's hiost attractive opportunities for extension of the seaways many hundreds of miles Inland. • j "The heart of the continent, with Its vast resources In both agriculture and Industry, would be brought in communication with all the ocean routes by the execution of the St. Lawrence waterways project. To enable oceangoing vessels to have access to all the ports of the Great Lakes would have a most stimulating effect upon the industrial life of the continent's Interior. "The feasibility of the project IR unquestioned, and its? costs, compared with some other great engineering works, would ber small. Disorganized and prostrate, the nations of central Europe are even now setting their hands to the development of a great continental waterway, which, connecting the Rhine and Danube, will bring water transportation from the Black to the North sea, from Mediterranean to the Baltic. ^ "If nationalistic prejudice and economic difficulties can be overcome by Europe they certainly should not be formidable obstacles to an achievement less expensive and giving promise of yet greater advantages to the peoples of North America. Not only would the cost of fVansportatlon be greatly reduced, but a vast population would be brought overnight in immediate touch with the markets of the entire world." Delegates from all sections of the country representing agriculture and industries dependent on It assembled here for the opening of the national conference called to consider the present situation confronting the farmer, and to lay down a permanent sgrlcultural^ rtiey. Development of a thorough code of law and business procedure, with the proper machinery of finance to assure the farmer as generous a supply of working capital on as reasonable terms as Is granted to other Industries, was advocated by President Harding in his address. "An industry," the President said, "more vital than any other, in which nearly half the nation's wealth is invested, can be relied upon for good security and certain returns." Declaring that in the matter of what may be called fixed Investment capital the disadvantage of the farmer so impressed public opinion that the federal farm loan board was established to meet the need. "Compared with other industries,*' he continued, "the wonder is that agriculture, thus deprived of easy access to both investment and accommodation capital, has prospered even so well." Lines on which financial support rf agriculture may be organized, Mr. Harding said, are Suggested in the plan of the federal farm loan board and in the rural finance societies which have been so effective in some European countries. "The co-operative loaning associations of Europe have been effective incentives to united action by farmers," he continued, "and have led them directly Into co-operation in both production and marketing which have contributed greatly to the stabilization and prosperity of agriculture." Whether these organlaztlons are considered as means to buying the farmers' requirements In a cheaper market, the President asserted, or to selling his products in a more remunerative one, "the conclusion in all cases is the same; U is that the farmer is as good a business man as any other if he has the chance." The manufacturer, Mr. Harding said, whose turnover is rapid, finds he can borrow money from the bank on shorttime notes when he needs working capital. and his money will come back to hiiu in time to meet his short-time obligations. On the other hand, he continued, the farmer's turnover is a long one; from a year in most cases to sometimes three years in the cattle industry. wvd fB^slwess LOSSOFSI^ Mothers Bears the Signature '"•i Si Itatact Copy of Wrapper. &OH/y 1 Thirty Years CASTORIA MSTEMPER AMONG HORSES Spohn's Distemper Compoaad At this ttma of yr»- hora«a ar* liable to contract eoatacteaa diseases--DISTEMPER, INFLUENZA, COUOHS aad COLDS.
