Best Under Irrigation, and Brussels Sprouta May Be Grown In Same Manner Collarda Are Tender. (Prepared by the United State Department of Agriculture.) When set in the spring, cabbage eed should be started In a hotbed or greenhouse In February and In the upen ground as soon as the soil can be worked. For a late crop In the North, plaut the seeds In a bed In the open ground In May or June, and transplant In the garden In July. Early cabbages require a rich, warm soil In order that they may mature early. For late cabbages, the soil should be heavier and more retentive of moisture and not so rich as for the early crop, as the heads are liable to burst. Cabbages should be set in rows SO to 80 Inches apart and 14 to 18 Inches apart In the row. Early cabbages must be used soon after they have formed solid heads, as Uiey will not keep during hot weather. They can, however, be used for making sauerkraut Cauliflower. Cauliflower requires a rich, moist soil, and thrives best under Irrigation. It will not withstand as much frost The senate was discussing the loans to the allies recently and the Hussion loan In particular. Senator liorah asked, "Is It not a fact that our government still recognizes as the ambassador from Russia the gentleman y who came here to represent the government? For instance, at the reception given a few nights ago to the representatives of foreign governments accredited to Washington, I observed among the list of those present the ambassador from England, the ambassador from France, and the ambassador from Itussla, Mr. Bukhmeteff" (portrait herewith). Senator McCuinber said, "as far as I know there Is no one recognized here at the present time as representing the government of Russia, either the eastern republic or the western soviet section of it." He added that It would be easy to find out. Senator Borah said, "If the sen ator bad experienced as much difficulty as some of us have In finding the relations of Bakhmeteff to this government, he would find that It is not easy to ascertain. I know that he was dealt with and recognized to all Intents and purposes as an ambassador long after the government which he represented had disappeared from the face of the earth, and long after he had been rejected by the people who purported to represent Russia." QUALITY Adapted to Every Garden, Whether Large or Small. Plants Should Be Started Indoor and Gradually Hardened to Outside Condition Two Methods for Home Garden. (Prepared by the United State of Agriculture.) Depailmenl Tomatoes are adapted to growing In every garden, whether large or small. To have a supply early in the season, the seed should be sown under coer four to six weeks before the weather becomes warm outdoors, and the plants should be transplanted once or twice before setting them In the open ground. Two dozeu plants can usually be purchased at the seed store chen per thnn they can be grown. plants are usually the best If they can be secured. Indoor plants should be gradually hardened to outside conditions. This can be done by placing the boxes or pots In which they are planted outdoors for several hours each day when the weather Is warm. They may be left out all night when there Is no danger of frost Plants for the main or late crop can be started outdoors after the ground hns become warm. Two methods are In vogue for growing tomatoes In home gardens. In the small garden the plants may be .set two feet apart In each direction, and then prune- to ft single stem and tied to stakes. Where plenty of land Is available the plants may be set three to four feet apart and allowed t grow naturally upon the ground. It should be borne In mind, however, that by trimming and tying the plants to stakes a better quality of fruit is obtained, and that the fruit will ripen earlier than when they are not trimto med and trained. From twenty-fiv- e fifty tomato plants will be sufficient for growing In the home garden, and this number should furnish plenty of for summer use and for canning.

Mr. McAdoo told the committee the government took over the railroads in 1917 because they were breaking down under a private management, unable to meet the stress of war demands, and that federal control and unified operation saved the situation. Not only was the transportation machine kept running, he Insisted, but Its condition was Improved, Its equipment extended, and it was returned to private owners in such shape that It was able to handle greater volume of traffic In 1920 than ever before. He took sharp Issue with railroad presidents who have, before congressional committees and the Interstate Commerce commission, made declarations to the contrary. - Head of Cabbage. as cabbage.
