Keep it in a shady, out-of-the-way place where it can be covered with a cheesecloth screen “ to discourage mosquitoes. It is very easy to make arid if the fresh material isn’t available, the dried product sold in bags by the garden stores will serve as a substi tute. Fill the barrel with water and put in a sack filled with manure and let it “steep” for about a week be fore using. Add water "from time to time as you use the liquid in order to replenish the supply. - As a safe stimulant' for plants of all kinds that need a little extra pushing along, there is nothing quite equal to liquid manure.

Yarborough was among the army’s first soldiers t,q receive the award, tha most recent distinction authorized by the war department.

Yarborough of this city. ^ commas make it clear that the head line writer was just fooling. It also occurred to me that a young boy with imagination might find too many possibilities for future use in this example of it being perfectly proper to tell lies as long as" you en7 closed them in quotation marks. Re membering how, when I was in school, there was a time when we thought it was all right to tell any kind of a fib so long as you had your fingers crossed, I could see that the quotation'mark might be adapted to that same purpose in writing.

If the announcer speaks of an’! invasion in his regular tone, we know j that he means it, but if he empha sizes the word and adds a sort of an amused intonation, we realize thqt he is referring to one of those “game” invasions. I don’t suppose®this little moderni-* zation of the English language by newsmen will do any particular ham unless it is carried too far. Up to now it seems to be used almost exclusive ly in relation to war rehearsals, but it is easy to see how, unless curbed, it would be carried into all sorts of news. Most of us are used to the new role of the quotation mark and recognize the fact that there is some spoofing going on when we see it in a head line.

Shaw Madden it will do the most good. One way is to make twb furrows, one on each side of the vegetable row. You will have to use your gar den line to mfirk out the vegetable row. Make the furrows about six inches apart and two to four ipches deep. Sprinkle fertilizer in the bot tom of each furrow and cover with soil. Then plant the seeds in the cen ter. The plant food is ready in the round so that roots can reach it as they grow. J Another method sometimes used for both flowers and vegetables is to wait until the plants begin to grow and then give them a side dressing by scattering the fertilizer around or on each side of the plants. This is a good way to give a second application to leafy vegetables such as lettuce and spinach or to vegetables that are more tender •vyhen grown rapidly like, radishes and peas.
