Attention, Dakota Precinct. Having given... the matter of. the purchase of government bonds, un der the third Liberty Loan, your se rious consideration, it is presumed you are now ready to go "over the top." The drive for the sale of this third issue of bonds begins Saturday of this week. , Please do not misconstrue your activities in tin's matter. You are not asked to "give." You "give" nothing. On the contrary you lend your money to the government at interest. This is the richest govern ment in the world, therefore, a loan made to the United States on these U bonds is the safest investment imaginable. You may buy these bonds in denominations of $50 and up. This places these bonds within the reach of practically every man in the precinct. Buy what your cir-;. cumstances warrant you in buying, but fail not to assume your honest responsibility. Let every man con stitute himself a booster and we will then 'handle our allotment easily. An immediate notification sent to the Hank of Dakota City or to the undersigned of your subscription to this loan will simplify the work of the various committeemen. F. A. Wood, Committee Chairman.

WHEN TO PLANT Early potatoes, onion sets, lettuce, kale, spinach and peas may be planted as soon as the heavy frosts arc over, according to the depart ment of horticulture of the Univer sity of Nebraska. These plants will not bo injured by a light frost, ex cept potato plants, which must be covered with dirt when frost threat ens. Radishes, parsnips, carrots and beets may follow a couple ot weeics later. Cabbage and cauliflower plants should be set out about May 1. When all frosts are over, plant early string beans and "sweet corn. Cucumbers, melons, squashes and Lima beans are set out about the middle of May. About May 20 set out tomato plants. Eggplant and peppers should not be set out until June 1. THE MALE I11U1) It is often said that the male bird is half the flock. This is true re garding his relation to the offspring, but experience teaches that in most cases his influence on tho laying qual ities of the offspring predominates over that of the female. Not only does this seem true but one also finds as a rule that a male having certain defects will transmit them to the offspring, while the same kind of a defect would not be transmit ted by the female. On this account it is much more important to see that one has a good male bird, ac cording to the poultry department of the University of Nebraska. The bird should be healthy, vigorous, and fair-sized for the breed. He should have a ratMr long deep broad body, strong .ogs set well apart, and large bright keen eyes. In improving the egg-laying quali ties of a fiock, one should always use a male from a heavy-laying strain of hens. - HE PATRIOTIC The extension service of the state university is asking the people of the state to be patriotic and permit their vacant lots to be gardened free of charge wherever possible. This is asked because reports have been received from some towns that the rental of lots has been doubled in many cases over past years, simply because the government has asked for more gardens. Tho extension service regards this as evidence of lack of patriotism, especially in the case of citizens who could easily per mit those less fortunate to use their vacant lots free of charge. The ex tension service does not object to lots being rented for gardening pur poses, but it does object to profiteer ing on vacant property. WOMEN AND FOOD PRODUCTION A group of Nebraska woman from farm, ranch, town and city have been selected to speak in the inter ests of tood production and cooper ation of town and country women. They represent all parts of the state and will work largely in their own districts. Recently they attended a school of instruction carried on by specialists at the University Farm at Lincoln. In their campaign they will crrry over the state seasonable Suggestions in regard to production, labor, market and the like. They also will endeavor to learn as much as possible about Nebraska conditions and find out what farm and town women need or want du ring the 1918 season. It is requested that every woman in Nebraska hear the speaker sent to her locality and give the workers all practical and helpful suggestions that can be made use of by Nebras ka women in this line. It is also de sired that all problems and difficul ties be presented to the speakers so that the best available help will be given. As these speakers give their time, it is felt that every woman in the state can spare a half day to hear the government message they bring. The campaign is under the direction of Mrs. Fred M. De weese, Hilarie Farm, Dawson, Neb., food production chairman, Woman's Committee, Nebraska State Council of Defense.
