Liberty Laon Rally.
Burlington and Graham Join Hands
In Big Demonstration.
FLOATS AND AUTOMOBILES BY
THE MILE.
Last Saturday witnessed one of
the most spectacular occasions ever
held in Alamance county. Hundreds
and hundred? of people gathered
from all over the county and from
every town and village aud joined in
the big demonstration for Third
Liberty Loan.
The procession from Burlington
started at 2:30 p. m. It was com
posed of more than a half hundred
of floats, trucks and automobiles
elaborately decorated in patriotio
colors and the Boy Scouts of that
city. A big brass band composed of
Graham and Burlington boys made
the rrua'.r. A procession composed
of Grsbam citizens and Graham
Boy Scouts met the Burlington pro
cession and escorted them to the
court house square, around which
were about 60 handsomely decorated
automobiles and hundreds of citi
zens in waiting.
From an improvised platform Mr.
Lynn B. Williamson, County Chair
man of Council of National IJefense,
addressed the throng, telling what
Alamance county and Graham had
done in subscriptions for Liberty
Bonds and presented both the county
and town flags. Hib speech was re
ceived with hearty cheers. Mr. J.
Dolph Long made the speech of ac
ceptance in happy style. These
exercises concluded, the procession
started for Burlington, composed of
those who came from there alona
with the numerous automobiles ana
trucks which had gathered in Gra
ham. By the time the last of the.
procession left Graham the front of
it was in Burlington, where the
principal streets were paraded.
In Burllngton the people congre
gated at the intersection of Main
and Davis streets, and thesa streets
were full of people for a block or
more back in all directions. Mr.
E. S. Parker, Jr., made the speech
of the occasion annd with fervid
z-ea/l told of the beastly outrages
of the Kaiser and his cohorts ana
urged the people to bjy Liberty
Bonds, the best securities in the
world, backed by all the lands ana
every material thin.;, ana all the
brawn and muscle in the vast do
main of the United States o!
America. ' He was heard with rapt
attention and his speech was fre
quently punctuated with hearty ap
plause. At the conclusion he pre
sented to Mr r . L. B. Whifited, Loan
Committee Chairman for the city,
the Honor Flag tor going "over
the top" in subscriptions for bonds.
Mr. E. S. W. Dameron responded
and told how thankful they were
in having secured more than their
quota, and said they were going to
add some stars. Rev. John Benners
Dibble pronounced the benediction
and the multitude dispersed.
Tractor Demonstration in Graham,
Monday, Nay 6th.
A plowing demonstration with a
Knickerbocker Forma-Tractor will
be given in Graham next Monday,
May Jlth. Every farmer in Ala
mance county and everyone else in
terested is Invited to ba nreseQt.
This machine is guaranteed to do
certain work, operated according to
directions, at greatly less cost than
the work can otherwise be done,

whether it will do what Is claimed
for it. Man power and horse power
are short of requirements on most
and the tractor is the only
way to supply the shortage It
plows, hauls and drives other ma
chinery where power is needed, ft
is a real - helper. Come and see
for yourself.

Article No. «!.—Mettlng Out Plant*—Protection Proa Late Pro*t~Getting
An Btrljr Btart With the Tender Crops.
(Copyrlxbted by W. Atlee Bur poo Co., Seed
U rower*, Phil i ).
Aa soon as the first sowing of.
seed out of doors has been done,
the next step in the bnllding of
your vegetable garden will be the
setting ont of the hardier vege
table plants. The success of your
early garden will depend ver\
largely on the quality of the plants
you set out and the oare with
which yon do the work. If you
have followed the suggestions
given in the earlier articles of this
series you will have on hand a
supply of plants of your own in a
cold-frame, which havo been thor-
oughly hardened off by being ex
posed to the weather for a week,
nights as well as days, except for
the severest w ather. If you have
no plants of your own, you will
have to buy. But use care in
choosing what you buy, and take
pains to gee ouly plants which
have been thoronghly hardened
off. The leaves of such plauts
have a reddish or" purplish t ingo,
which is distinct from the green,
soft looking leaves of plants which
have been grown wholly under
glass. i
Getting Beady to P«t tbe Plant* 111
tbe Moll.
Your plants, whether lifted
from the frame or brought home
from the seed store, should bo
kept in a shady place, protected
from wind and srob, so that the
roots will not dr* ont until you
are ready to putt] them into the
soil. Mark off tbo rows as you
would for planting seeds and then
cross-mark them to show the
proper distance at which to set the
plants apart in the row. Then
with trowel or the end of a hoe
blade dig out a hpie several inches
deep where the plant U to be set.
At each of these points use a sinail
handful of hen manure. Or if
I you have not got that half a hand
ful of fine ground bone, or better
still, a mixture of ground bone,
tanage and cotton-serf meal, in
equal parts. This inAes a ferti
lizer which is rich in nitrogen in
several forms, «o that it will not
all be available at once, and at the
same time containing no chemi
cals likely to injure the delicate
plant roots. The manure or ferti
lizer should be. worked into the
soil, th" hole tilled level full, or
nearly so, a mark being made to
show just where to set the plants.
When transplanting iu very lry
weather it may be advisable to
put a pint to a quart of water at
the bottom of each hole before
transplanting,' but that is very
seldom necessary at this time of
the year. (Don't make a mud pie
out of the aurface around the
plaute by giving a light watering
before transplanting).
Unless the plants to be set out
are very short and stocky out buck
the larger leaves a third to a half
before Betting the plants into the
soil. The object of doing this is
not only to make the plants more
convenient to handle, but to re
duce the amount of moisture
evaporated from the leaves, so
that the plant roots which will be
more or less severely injured dur
ing transplanting* will be able to
••upply enough water to keep the
rest of the plant from wilting.
The plants should be taken out
of the soil o* flats carefully, so as
to disturb (lie roots as little as
possible. (Jive a good watering
half a day or so in advance of
transplanting, so the soil will be
neither too wet nor too dry—just
moist enough to adhere roadily to
the roots without being muddy.
Take out or few plants at a time
aud distribute them along the row,
and then with a trowel or dibber
(a small pointed implement for
making hole* in which to set
plants) put the plant well down
inurtbe soil a half to two-thirds of
the stem of the stalk.
Most begin hers make two mis
takes in setting out plant*; first,
they do not get them in deep
enough, and secoudly, they do not
press the soil about the roots
firmly enough. Don't crowd the
roots down Into the soil—make it
hole big enough to take the soli
and roots easily. Then cover the
soil iu over them pressing it down
flrinly with both hands. Unless
your soil is heavy clay and wet,
there will be little danger of press
ing the soil too firmly.
The setting out of the plants
will mean more or lees packing of
the soil in the rows. For that
reason ss soon as the job of set
ting out your plants is finished,
the hoe or the rake should be used
to go over the entire surface which
has been planted. This not only
makes it smooth and even again,
but re-establishes a* qqickly as
possible the soil mulch, which la
so essential in holding the sur
plus moisture stored up in the soil
by the Spring ra'ns.
Tin! plants which can be set out
now inclnde cablmge, cauliflower,
lettuce, beets and onions.
Pnltrllup Frost Mte
Sometimes plants are large
enough to set out before condi
tions are just light for thein. The
thing to do with plants that
havo grown as large as you want
them to be is to get them into the
open air. Keep them whore they
can be protected from frost, but
where they can get full sun and
air. Give just enough water to
keep the soil from drying oat.
Water thoroughly, however, the
day before planting, so that the
soil and roots will be in the right
condition.
Oecasioimlly during March,
April and early May, in the north
ern States the gardeuer who is
trying to be early will have a close
call from frost. Where there are
indications of a dew fall and the
thermometer drops rapidly late in
the day, and the air is still, and
the aky is clear, the gardener's
safe course is to oover the plants.
Those in the cold-frames, if cover
ed even with cloth sash, will be
protected from several degrees of
frost. Blankets, and old bags and
burlap supported above the plants
on a few short sticks will answer
the same purpose.
For plants that have already
been set out other moans will be
nocessary. One of the most ef
fective modes of covering such
early things AS potatoes and peas
itp to run the wheel hoe with the
hilling attachment along the row
and hill up the earth over the
plants.
Also, you will find it well to
save a supply of newspapers, with
which in a few minutes you can
cover up a hundred or two hun
drod plants or hills of such things
as pole beans, tomatoes, melons
or sqnash; put several thlcknosses
of newspapers over each, and hold
the edges down with a few trowel
fnls of dirt. Inverted tomAto cans
or flowJr pots may be used to pro
tect individual plants.
. If, in Bpite ol your precautions,
some of your plauts get nipped
they should bo protected from the
sun J/he next morning and watered
as early as possible with very cold
water. This may form a very
thin coating of ice on the leaves,
but it will serve to get the frost
out gradually, which lessens the
damage.
Instead of temporary frost pro
tection of this kind, however,
much better and earlier results
are to be had by perumnont plant
protectors, of which there are
numerous kinds to bo bought or
made. One of the simplest is the
plain forcing hill, which is noth
ing but a pane of glass on top of
a bank of soil about the hill or
plant. In many soils, however,
this cannot be successfully ac
complished ; and it is always some
what of a makeshift method, open
to the objeotion that the hollowed
hills collect water when it rains,
and are too low for most purposes.
Ono of the various types of indi
vidual forcers to bo bought can
be used to great advantage, par
ticularly when only a few are re
quired. With care thoy will last
a great many years, so that the
cost is by no means prohibitive.
Two inexpensive and practical
forcing frames adapted to such
tall plants as tomatoes may be
sawed from an ordinary cracker
box, with glass about thirteen by
twenty-two inches fitted .in one
side. For melons, etc., they may
be mado flat.
ftetUnjr an Early Start With the Tender
Crop*—Start Tender Thing*
In Paper Pot*.
If you have a cold-frame or a
hot-bed by far the surest and in
the end the easiest wAy to start
all the vine crops—cuoutnbers,
melons, squashes and also pole
beans and lima beans, and oven
extra early sweet corn—ls to make
use of paper pots or dirt bands,
which are very cheap. Fill these
with a rich compost containing
plenty of humus, of
crumbly manure and two-thirds
garden loam, with a little sand if
the loss Is heavy. I'laut about
twice as many seeds as you want
plants, and thin them as soon as
they are well started. It is best
to water thoroughly some hours
"before planting. The pots nsed
for lima beans should bo watered
at least a day in advance and the
beans should be. pushed in oye
down. No more water should be
applied until they are well up, or
they will lie almost sure to rot.
All these things will sprout and
grow with great rapidity in the
frame. Two to four weeks Is
ample time to give thorn, as thoy
do not transplant well If allowed
to get too big. Thin out the plants
in each pot to the number you
want before they get too large, or
the roots and tops will begin to
crowd each other.
Here are a few suggestions for
individual crops;
Beans—For the flrst planting
use the lightest, best-drained soil.
If the weather is still a little wet
and cold plant rsther shallow—
only an inch or so deep. In dry
weather plant about two luchee
deep. Always plant lima beans,
whether pole or bush, eye down,
and when tbero is no immediate
prospect of rain. I'lant the pole
sorts in hills.
Corn—ln the home garden there
is little advantage in planting in
hills, unless the ground is weedy
or heavy. As good results may
be bad by planting thinly in a
continuous drill, thin the plant*
to about % foot apart in the row.
This gives the individual plants a
better chance for development
than they get when they are
bunched three or four in a hill.
Kgg-l'lants—Do not set out
until all danger of frost is past.
Keep well protected from potato
bugs Qive plenty of rich com
post in the hills.
Okra—Start under glass; or
plant in rich soil in hills and thin
! to a single plant.
Peppers—Do uot plant until
thoroughly warm weather ia es
tablished and then put them In
the sunniest position available.
Enrich the hills well, but avoid
green manure. Early varieties
are the safest in Northern sec
tions.
Tomatoes —Qet your plants as
big and as strong as possible by
shlfting'to paper pots during the
last three weeks before setting
out, so that they may have blos
soms, or even small fruita before
they go into the garden. As soon
as they are set out, stake them to
prevent whipping by the wind.
Keep trained up from the begin
ning and cut off most of the side
suckers as soon as they form.
