Suggestions For February Garden
Work.
If these things have not already
been attended to plant and cultivate
the following crops:
Irish Potatoes.
Bread is said to be "the staff of
life," but the Irishman contends that
"I'ertaties is the loife its silf."
Soil should be light loam with plent
of humus. Well rotted stable manure
is good, but not fresh manure, as it
is said to stimulate "scab." The fer
tilizer should contain plenty of phos
phoric acid and potash. The North
Carolina Department of Agriculture
recommends about 800 pounds pe.
acre of fertilizer made up as follows:
Acid phosphate, !00 lbs; cottonseed
meal, 600 lbs; nitrate of soda, 100
lbs; sulphate of. potash, 400 lbs.
Plant the potatoes about -i to 5 inches
deep and at the rate of a peck for 100
hills. It is customary to cut the seed
potatoes, leaving about two eyes oi.
each piece. Plant the hills 12 to 18
inches apart in the row and 36 inches
between the rows. Cultivate often
and keep free from weeds. Early
Hose and Irish Cobler are good varie
ties to plant for the early crop.
Radishes.
I?;i,lwhs: radishes, rosv an.l red.
The first to climb out of Mother
Earth's bed!
Radishes should be planted in light,
u-l I -drained soil in drills 8 inches
nnnrt and II inches in the row. One
ounce of seed should plant a drill 10C
feet long. Plant the seed shallow,
uhniit. inch dppn in moist, well pul
verized soil. Have 3 plantings, about
ten davs anart. They should be ready
fnv in nhnut 25 nr 30 davs. The
time will, of course, depend on' the
climate, tne sou ana tne care given
them. The several plantings should
Voon th tsihl? p.unnlied at all times
with fresh, crisp radishes. Radishes
to be crisp and good must grow rapid
ly with no "hesitation." .For a quick
fertilizer use 1.000 lbs. to the acre ol
the following mixture: Phosphoric

THE COST OF IT
We're getting so used to superla
tives in this war that big figures have
lost their meaning. Nevertheless a
ui..n ..simnorienn nf rurrent war ex
penses with those of other wars is
striking enougn o mune -v
notice.
a nf the United States
Department of Commerce has fiK"1
out mat 01 six graiv "a
half century the cost per day was as
follows: Crimean war, $2,0o6,70U;
United States Civil war, J'2,U0-,
c ..Pn,ui9n war. $11,572.60.!:
t ; lononeo war. 24.972.119:
First Balkan war, $4,331,797; and sec
ond Ba kan war. X6,0W,uw.
If all those wars had been raging
at once, their cost would have ueen
about $41,000,000 a day. ine prcscm
war is costing $50,000,000 a day.
(That means that the Nations are
wasting in war every day as much
money as the entire population of the
United States is earning on that day.
The total cost of tnose six wars was
$13,299,000,000. The Nations engaged
in the present war, without counting
T.ir have alrendv incurred a war
debt of $10,650,000,000, and the pre
paratory expenses 01 otner canons
that are reasonably sure to enter the
struggle doubtless will raise the to
tal to full equality with the cost of
the six other wars.
And the cost keeps increasing from
day to day. If the war should last
the three years that Lord Kitchener
prophesied, the price paid by the bel-

cost of all the wars waged since the
beginning of the Christian era.
