The ultimate success of a home
Harden depends largely upon the in
terest of the aardener bcin" main
tained throughout the season. Many
persons have gotten the idea that
wheli the trarden is planted and cul
tivated two or throe times their work
has ended, and as a result the trarden
soon Koss to weeds or is destroyed bv
insects and diseases. The success
ful irnrdenor. declare the sliccialists
of the United States department of!
agriculture, is the one who waces a ,
continuous fight asainst the enemies
of the Harden from the vorv' start,
never shirking his duty and bcinz
evcrlastinulv in the job.
A crop of weeds can be destroyed
in a few moments bv means of a steel
rake or a noe. if it is used when the
weeds are iust coming thromrh the
ground. Jf allowed to remain, the
weeds become firrtilv rooted and a
thorough renovation of the garden is
necessary to rid it of them.

Seem Innocent, Bnt They're Xot
A fewold fashioned hardshell po
tato bnffs mov not appear to do nnv
great harm, but the crop of soft
slielled beetles they produce will ent
the leaves from the potato vines al
most before vou know thev are pres
ent. A few spores ot some mildew or
other diseas may not do nnv great
amount of damnge, but if the weather
is favorable for the spread of the
disease il will soon cause the loss of
the entire crop.
The old adage of ''A stitch in time
saves nine" applies with double force
to the care of the garden. Kecrt up
interest in the garden anil make suc
cessive plantings of various crops, so
that a continuous supply of vege
tables may be provided for the table.
There is nothing gained bv having the
land lie idle, and it is easier to keep
it clean if there is a puving crop upon
it. " " ' " ' ' -
"Seed " Gardens Show Neglect
Too often gardens with n "seedy"
appearance are nccn in the middle of
the summer. The brush on which the
peas were grown or the wire trellis
on which .thev were trained s left
with the remains of the crop upon it,
and- general unsightliness rales the
entire plot. It is a little more trouble
to keep things neat and attractive,
but it pnvs in the long "run : and if
you as a gardenerwant to maintain a
reputation for a good garden, the
necessary attention will have to be
given to its neatness nnd genera! nu
pearance. . .'.'.; , .
In sections where the weather be

COMMUNICATION.
Favors General "Wood
To the Editor: Various reasons
have been advanced to account for
the growing 'heller that Leonard
Wood would make, a good president.
Yet ail have been of a "secondary"
nature "derivatives." Qualities have
been ascribed. and performances dwelt
upon according as they have appeal
ed to tho particular -wrltor, yet no
one has specified the primary attrib
utes which underlie loyalty and an
endless patience. Every act or course
whlch has won approval has been
palpably tlio offspring of .these qual
ities. Loyalty to duty, to country, to
associates and patience to compre
hend, and thereby produce good re
sults. That which alone makes ef
ficiency, in soldier, executive, or ser
vant of tho people In any capacity Is
this trait of loyalty; but to accom
plish It must bo backed up by pa
tience. We Instinctively recognize
underlying traits and approve men
upon them. Is not this then tho rea
son why General Wood Is looked on
with confidence and respect? He
may, or may not be nominated In
1020. Whether he be, or bo not, no
one will doubt but that he will con
tinue to be .that which ho has been.
As we know a feeling of certaintS'
as to the general relations of life, nnd
business arises when there is know
ledge that a chief, executive Is pos
sessed of the qualities of loyalty and
patience" If, therefore, It eomo to
pass that General Wood bo nominat
ed, wo may assume that a Justifiable
feeling of certainty and security will
spread abroad. Yours very truly,
.' CHAS. STEWART DAVISSON.
