Irish potatoes are grown lu most home gardens, but there are just a few points in the game that the home gardener is likely to overlook which are very important. Kinst of all, poiatoes grow quickly, and their food supply must be all ready and waiting lor them in the soil. Second, they are heavy feeders and want plenty to draw upon.

In localities where they may he grown, some fruit trees and bush fruits should be planted wherever space penults. In addition to the small fruits there are a few permanent vegetables which should not be overlooked. One of these is asparagus, which will thrive almost anywhere, provided It la planted in good soil. A plot of ground 15 to 20 feet square in one corner of the garden will supply all of the asparagus needed by an average family. A few hills of rhubarb In sections where it will grow can he planted along the garden fence and furnish the family supply. The same is true of horse radish and of a number of the herbs, including thyme, tarragon, sage. Grapes of the type and variety suited to the locality should always be Included in the home garden. These can be grown on an arbor over the was well manured the previous season, and which contains plenty of organic matter is best. The first step in preparing the soil will be to spade or plow it in to a depth of eight or nine incites, then break up the clods, if there be any, and pulverize the soil practically as deep as it is spaded or plowed. How to Use Fertilizer. Common fertilizers give good results for growing potatoes, especially if the fertilizer contains potash, as potatoes require more potash than is usually present in the soil. Fertilizer manufacturers mix special brands for potatoes, and these are generally rather rich in potash. How much fertilizer to use will depend upon the fertility of the soil, but as a rule eight pounds to each 100 feet of row will be about right. A good way to apply the fertilizer Is to make the holes or burrows and drop the pieces of seed potato, cover them with an inch or two of soil, then scatter the fertilizer along the row so that it will become well mixed with the soil in completing the covering of the seed. Another method Is to scatter the fertilizer in tbe furrow and mix it with the soil beBe Raised In fore dropping the pieces of seed po- Crops Like These Can Almost Any Garden. tato.

Galbralth, Jr., 'American legion members in many parts of the country have been active in fighting against and other efforts of hyphenated persons to drive a wedge between America and her allies in th World war. Twenty-fiv- e thousand patriotic citizens of New York attended the "All American Meeting for God and Country," which was held In Madison Square Garden under the auspices of the Legion, as a protest against a previous meeting, said to be for the purpose of creating sentiment against the alleged "Horrors on the Rhine." When word was received in Philadelphia that Dr. Kdmund von Mach, notorious German propagandist, was planning to hold a meeting In that city, Legion members and other patriotic citizens opposed the proposition and succeeded In blocking the scheme. Similar action was taken by the Legion and various societies in Indianapolis. Among the organizations cooperating with the Legion was the national executive committee of the American Gymnastic union, composed of a large membership of citizens of German extraction, which insisted upon unhyphenated citizenship and scored Von Mach and George Sylvester Viereck. On the same day the Indianapolis board of public works announced It would not permit the use of its large convention hail for the proposed Von Mach meeting. Learning that Louisville was on the proposed Itinerary of Doctor Von Mach, the Kentucky department of the Legion instructed posts to use "every lawful means practicable to stop the threatened invasion of Boehe propagandists." The Kentucky Legion's bulletin also warned against the activities of Viereck. Legion posts have also opposed the Cleveland, hyphenates in Chicago, Omaha, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. by their national for Thl the American Copy Department Supplied l.c1on Nwi Service.) POOR LEAD TO OBTAIN by SPLIT Attempt to Arouse Indignation Over '"Horror on the Rhine" Proves Dismal Failure. "The to Uemiunoplille attempt arouse American indignation ovej- - 'the horror on the Ithine' and thereby to lead to a split, spiritual rather than diplomatic, between America and her recent allies has failed of Its purpose In precisely the same way that German propaganda in this country failed in every one of the years between 1914 and 1818," says an editorial in die American Legion Weekly. "The truth Is merely that the Germans do not know how to go about It. 'Kultur obviously does not include any knowledge of the fine art of getting souieethlng over, a fact amply attested by the reflex action which has accompanied the present attempt. The Von Much style of persuasiveness is no more subtle than the efforts of a St. Bernard puppy to stand up on a hardwood floor. It is flattering the Von Mach type of 'boring from within' to call Its Insidious. Insidious it is, however, in Its intent If not In its application. "Dr. Von Mach has proved himself a poor servant of his country, whether he regards his country as America or Germany. He Is a poor American for having tried to win America over to the point of view of the unrepentant nation to defeat whose govueu-men- t 100,000 Americans gave their lives, for attemping to resurrect a hyphen that was theoretically buried Just three years ago. He is a poor German because his clumsiness has served only to arouse America to the fact that she Is still at war with Germany."
