Real Estate dealers who intend to do any building next year are plan ning on acquiring their real estate this year. ;A series of reasons for doing this is now being prepared by H. S. Kissell of Springfield, O., for dis tribution among realtors all over the country. Omaha realtors who returned last week from the national real estate convention predict a big demand this summer and next fall for vacant property, particularly residence lots. Several conferences of subdivision men from 1all over the country re vealed a general opinion that va cant lots are due for an increase in price next year. 'They think this is going to be brought about by a home building campaign and they also pointed out that vacant lots, are about the only class of property that has not risen in value since the war, chiefly be cause of the fact that all develop ments on present marketable lots were done at prewar costs. It was the general opinion ;that any vacant property developed since the war will be higher than lots laid out two or three years ago, and that, therefore, all. vacant property will go up in price.

JU.NS& tOA HEDVIKA FlORENCE EftTRUDE i FLEISCHEH ftEZrtCU6K.THORPE , tyllHAMtf Shirley Poppy BY FRANK RIDGWAY.' Every American should be famil iar with the flower of the' American Legion, the Shirley poppy. "Thousands of people have learned cf the Shirley poppy . within the last 12 months who never before heard of it," said a florist recently. "From now on we may expect to see the poppy raised extensively. It has been officially adopted as the flower of the American Legion." He explained that the selection of Shirley poppy by these men is more sentimental than practical, and was suggested byx Rupert Brooke's poem of Flanders field, where poppies grew. ; It is used in garden decoration, but is difficult to handle for other purposes. It sheds its bloom readily, and cannot be worn satisfactorily. If the ftower is cut when in full bloom the petals soon wither and fall off. Select the buds when they first begin to burst through the green covering. They will then ex pand and last longer. There : are various shades of color. The petals are of a silky tcxtnre that adds to the delicacy of color, which ranges from delicate shades of rose, apricot, salmon pink, to glowing crimson, all with white centers.- The Shirley poppy should be raised in a fairly rich soil where it will have the benefit of plenty of sunlight. If the ' seed pods are picked as soon as they form it will remain in bloom for. several weeks. ' Transplanting' is not necessary, in fact, it is not usually done suc cessfully. Thick sowing of the 'fine seed is to be avoided, and the best way is to mix one part seed with five parts of fine sand. This will distribute the seed more uniformly. After they come up thin the seed lings, leaving the plants I about 10 inches apart. lr second planting should be made about two or three weeks after the first seed are sown n order to have a - continuous blooming season. !!

By International News Service. Montreal, June 12. Hundreds of soldier-farmers wives are being trained in domestic science and women s farm activities by the home branch of the Soldiers' Settle ment board. The training is ac complished . by short, intensive courses. Following demobilization of the army many of the soldiers who, pre vious to enlistment, had followed other pursuits, qualified to purchase farms or take up, homesteads. They had to be trained, and their wives were likewise inexperienced. Many young Canadian soldiers brought back wives whom , they married in England and France, while there further developed the necessity of training the wives of British soldiers who came to Canada to take up farming as a new pursuit. The home branch was formed, with expert lecturers, nurses and demonstrators, who instituted a I series of courses on women's phases oi agricultural me. inese nave reen largely attended. The Canadian Patriotic society, the Red Cross, the Canadian Pacific railway, the universities and other organizations have supported the measure and helped to carry the 'THD insure speedy and A economical construction on-any kind of buil dings, maKe it your first step to consult us.

Fighting Gardi Pests Fighting the insects and diseases in the garden is about as important as hoeing and watering the plants. An enormous acreage has been , planted to garden crops this spring 1 in the suburbs of Chicago as well as on the farms. Many of the gardens are cared for by persons of little or no experience. The garden situation has been discouraging so far. Be- , cause of the cold, rainy weather, the vegetable crops have made a poor start. Plants raised under cover have had to be held in the hotbeds or cold frames so long that many of them died shortly after they were transplanted. The growth of most phnts has been seriously handicapped by the cool nights. The plants are so weak and are making such a slow growth they are especially susceptible to the attacks of insects and diseases. A heavy loss from these sources may be expected, but much of this can be prevented by timely spraying , which may be done at a small cost! Amateurs can profit by visiting experienced gardeners and asking questions. Spraying and dustin materials and the necessary equip ment should bo obtained this week. A few of the pests are already in the gardens, and the fight asrainst them should be started imme diately. We Build We Finance Rohrbough, SeoTreas.
