Soldiers and' Attractive ness of Issue to Aid Ore- gon's Victory Drive. TITE MORNING OT1EGOXIAN, FRIDAY, 3IARCII 1J, 1D19. PH As the day approaches when Oregon will be called upon to meet her quota qf the fifth loan, tentatively announced for April 21, the campaign machinery receives a thoroughly systematic over hauling, in order that no delay may arise in the process of raisin? the state's share of the victory loan. "I have just one thing to say con cerning the coming- campaign," said Stato Manager Robert E. Smith, "and that is that Oregon mfust lead the na tion in the victory loan. Our record is our heritage. "Oregon has been first in practically every patriotic drive, and thi3 is our last grand effort. We cannot afford to mar our uniformly excellent record of -war service by letting any other state forge ahead of us in this last drive." Confidence Is Voiced. Edward Cookingham, state chairman of the liberty loan committee, sees in the fifth loan a superior offering to investors, though he declined to dis cuss it in detail until complete offi cial announcement .regarding the issue is received from Washington. - '.'We have complete confidence in the response which will be made by the people of Oregon," said Mr. Cooking ham, "because we feel certain that Oregon will not be reluctant to pay for the .defense of our lives and prop erty, and the coat of bringing home from ovrseaa our valiant boys, and establishing them in peace-time oc cupations. Investment to Be Attractive. "The fifth loan will provide a more attractive security from the investors' standpoint because of its short ma turity. Bonds of the third issue, now selling on the New York market, are quoted at a figure substantially higher than those of the fourth issue. The reason is that, although the rates of interest are identical, third loan bonds mature in 1928, while those, of the fourth loan mature in 193. Conse quently the securities of the fifth loan, maturing in 1924. are vastly more at- Lrai-uvo iu tua iu,cdiui. Marshal N. Dana, state director of publicity, is now in San Francisco, where he is conferring with officials of the twelfth federal reserve district relative to effective advertising of the coming loan. . . Mrs. Sarah Evans, of the woman's liberty loan committee, has been notified that the treasury war loan organization has cast 2,000.000 medals from captured German cannon to be worn by victory loan workers. County and city chairmen are to send their lists of workers to the federal reserve chairman, who will direct the ship ment of a proportionate number of medals. DEAR FEIEXDS: Today we will dis cuss the early planting of vege tables In our gardens, as the time has arrived to plant these earliest vege tables. I know gardeners who have their peas already in the ground, and others who plant their potatoes in the fall. Did you ever notice what splen did yields your "volunteer" potatoes give you, if you let them grow? These are the potatoes left in the ground last year, and the way they yield Is certainly an argument for fall plant ing, or at least earlier planting than is customary. Plant Early Vegetables Sow. If you have only heavy clay soil you cannot plant anything very early, but where you have a high sandy part of the garden, well drained, and ready for spading, you should plant your early vegetables now. Your plot should be open to the sun and prefer ably slope to the south. . Spread over the land all the manure you can get, and a light dressing of wood ashes. Lime helps sandy soil to hold moisture. A 50-pound sack to a plot 30x40 feet is all that should be applied. Spake your land deeply and level it off with a rake or hoe. If your whole garden is sandy it can be plowed and dragged now, but not many gardens are ready for that now. To determine when soil is ready to plow press some of it between your hands, and if it does not stick together in a mass, but crum bles apart, it is in a. good condition Xor plowing. l'ea Planting Outlined. If your land is not well drained you can make raised beds for your early planting, but all later planting must be in level ground. Manure or other such fertilizer should not be applied just before planting the peas. If they are too well fed on nitrogen they run to vines instead of well-filled pods. Rows of the dwarf peas can be planted a foot to a foot and a half apart, and the seed covered with two or three inches of soil. The tall peas are usually sown in double rows with brush between to support them. This setting brush is a little more work. but you get a lot more peas from the tall varieties. If you soak your peas in water for a few hours before planting they germ inate much quicker. Of the tall vari eties Gradus, Surprise, Early Mom Alaska and Prosperity are the best varieties to plant in this vicinity at this time, Gradus being best of all. Of the dwarf varieties Little Marvel Puke's Delight, American Wonder and Premium Gem are most used. Mc Lean's Little Gem is an old standard variety, which is always reliable. As peas mature largely all at one time, and must be eaten when ready to be at their best, do not plant very many at a time. I would advise sow fng a short double row now (for a email family) and then the same amount every two weeks thereafter, which will insure you a succession of delicious peas till the hot weather of eummer that is, if we can succeed better in fighting the aphis than we did last year. But we learned how to destroy them, and the season will be different. bo we may not have such a time with aphis this year. - Early Potatoes Important. The best varieties to plant now are Early Rose, Earliest of All. Scotch Rose, Early White Prizetaker and the Irish Cobbler, the first two being the best for the first planting, which should be ready for eating the last of June. Have your rows of potatoes about 2 feet apart and plant the hills 14 to IS inches apart in the row.

Don't use a. potato for seed if it has a roughened and irregular circle on the skin or looks in any way diseased. rln preparing your land for potatoes do not use ashes or manure, as they both tend to make potatoes scabby. Potatoes always do well in sod ground whinh is well broken up and cultivated Into a fine seed bed. Early potatoes are always expensive, so it pays wen to raise plenty of them to carry us over till our later ones ripen in late sum mer.
