This means 43,200 weeds an acre. If conditions are favorable,, or one noxious plant to nearly one square foot. 'Plvo live weed seeds per gram of alfalfa seed, or 2,250 per pound, may result in 33,750 weeds to an acre. So B, H. Porter, the pathologist, concludes that farmers should test seed for purity and viability and that, since It costs no more to plant good seed man poor, farmers should avoid this possibility of low production.

The Garden ! - ' ' $ 3S 'SS $$ J. 8$38SS SPADES AND SPADING FORK TECHNIQUE Some ' veteran gardeners will not consider the. garden as properly dug unless it Is dug with aspnde. Oth ers will never think of using any tool, but a spading fork; The spade is the better tool for clean digging where the gardener wishes, to follow, straight lines. It also' will turn the soil' more completely and thoroughly' and if the trench 'and fill method Is used the spade Is Indispensable because the soil will remain In the spade to be tossed into the waiting trench. A portion of it Is bound to fall through the tines of the fork. Heavy soil Is m,ore easily penetrat ed with a fork. It is more easily turned with a spade so there Is no argument on the better tool right there. A spade in the long run will be found the more efficient tool for digging heavy soil. The tines of the fork, due to the prying to lift heavy soli, are very likely to be bent out of alignment in working heavy and clayey soils. For lighter soil, the spading fork Is much the easier tool to use and It ts also a faster method and less la bor loaa. A gardener needs both a spade and a spading fork. When largo holes are to be dug to set out bushes or trees, a spade must be used to do Perfect Results Obtained By 254 In Making Cakes Out of 260 women making pine apple coffee coke.

Churchill Urges Anglo-American Co-operation LONDON, May II W ' Anglo American co-operation In preparation for a world money conference was urged Tuesday by Winston Churchill in the house of commons.

"We could not chooso u worse time for launching any proposal for modi fication of debts and reparations. Reason and knowledge are Very largely silent In every election time, and the American Democrats and Republicans will vie In denouncing any proposal emanating from a European confer ence.
