In addition you fiill Jour garden soil with “humus” or vegetable matter, which is almost as essential' for the healthy, vigorous growth of your plants as haying plenty of plant food In the soil.

Or. to’put . it differently, if you handle your garden in the right way In the fall ypu can get a lot cf the raw plant foods. which it contains “cooked-up” and ready for your crops to use next season; and also s**e the next season’s use the ‘‘•left-overs” that otherwise, would go to wja^te from the plant foods you applied this year.

How to Keep Remlv-t«»*u»e Plant Fon,| fr<*m f»«*ing t«» Wit'-te. During the winter and early spring a great" deal t-f- food in soil-that i? left bare is car ried away in the surfa<*- washing and in the drainage v.at-r resulting from rains anil from melting snows. In the case of nitrogen, which is th<- most valuable of the three plant foods most likely to be ••-hort” in any soil—nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash—further toss is occas ioned by its passing off into the air. One of the gardenet’it raos't- impor tant problems, therefore, is to savo what there may b*- left of theso available plant foods at the end of- the season for another year. And. like the surplus foods in the kitch en they may be saved by “canning.” * It may at first glance seem a rather difficult problem to ran an ^invisible something hidden away in a Toot or so cf garden ^oil which it would tane ?n expert chemical analy sis to find. But in reality it is much ♦ asier than the kind of canning you do in the kitchen.

L. Woodson, of Jericho. Ark., in telling of the remarkable results he has gotten from Tanlac. Judge Woodson, who is now 70 years of age. served the entire fqar i'vyirs of the Civil War. -ne ilved/twio years in Memphis right aftet 1 the war and then settled down aV his present estate, w here he has lived for 5't year?. Judge Woodson said, his only possession when ho started out for himself were a pair of mules and $38 in cash. He has made his fortune farming and trad ing and is now probably the wealth iest planter in Critenden county. He served two years as tax assessor and twenty years ps Justice of the peace, and is one of the mpst prom inently known men of Arkansas. . “I had been in a generally run down condition and failing “health for Irt or 12 years.” he continued, “and for the past lb years I wasn’t able to get on mjr horse from the grotml; I had to lead him up to a block or something beiore I could mount.

The argument is very dnsound. There is a ►harp contrast between cost to the government am^ cost to the people of the country. The United ?ta*es has sold two billion dollars worth of- Liberty Loan Bonds ta the people of the United States and thp.r.efore owes two billion dollars nior> tnau it did a few months ago. When tlv money for the bopds has been col lected In full and f-en expended ir« full the matter will “tar 1 in this shape:—- ‘ ‘ ' The peonle,,of the United States will have loaned to Their govern ment two billion dollars ut return for which they will have received two billion dollars worth of Liberty la>an Bonds which is as valuable se curity as the world affords. More over they will have in their pockets or their banks the two billion dol lars which they loaned their gov ernment. "" The government will have expended part of this money itself and those European nations engaged in war with Germanv whose obligations our .government has purchased with pert of the mon ey realized from the rale of Liberty Loan Bonds, will have expended the other, part, and all of it will have spent in America *or American products and in pay neat of Amert- f *r wages. The resources of the nation, i.t* '’tfpltal *»ock so to speak, will not have been impaired at alt. Our farms, our mines oar factories, in fact all of onr fixed property and industries will remain intact. Our People will sirnplv have sold aome of the annual products of thje coun- try, „the products of its farms, th** prtodficts of Its mines and products cf Its factories.

The money is to c >nie from , the annual income and i> oduction of the country which now amount to fiftv billion.

The prftfits of concerting raw material into finish ed* products amount annually to ten billion dollars. These are just some of our main sources of annual in come. The raising of money by the sab 1 of bonds and the expenditure of that money for purposes of war are not going to injure or destroy the productive capacity of pur fields, factories, or mines.

The act- •ial wa*te in this war may be more ■than made up by the speeding up of our industries under -the stimu- lur of the war. ■ Thete is going to be loss by rea son of this war—wealth shot away /h battle and wealth sunk at sea.
