Iteturn of . 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. Drop one
