American Tank Steamer Escapes From Submarine Bv Associated Press An Atlantic Port, Aug. 3. An American tank steamship loaded with gasoline was engaged in a running fight with a German submarine on July 10, when near the French coast and escaped destruction by superior speed after a torpedo had ben launched and twenty-one shots had been fired from the U-boat's deck gun, according to officers of the ves sel on arrival here to-day. The submarine appeared after the wake of the passing torpedo had warned the Americans of the pres ence of an enemy. From a position several miles astern the bombard ment took place but none of the shots reached a mark. The American erunncrs on the tanker fired 16 shots in return but without result so far as rould be asrertained. The cap tain of the tank steamer asserted : that the dangerous cargo he carried | induced him to seek safety in flight j rather than to try for conclusions at •lose quarters.. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH WHAT YOU CAN DO IN A GARDEN PLANTED NOW Not Too Late to Grow a Good Supply of Vege tables By F. P. ROCKWEMJ Copyright, 1917, by W. Atlee Burpee } & Co., Seeds Growers, Philadelphia. It Is not yet too late to grow a good supply of vegetables, even if you have not had a garden so far this year. There is among amateur gardeners an unwritten tradition that gardens must be planted in the spring. As a matter of fact, a fairly complete gar den may be planted successfully as late as the middle of July. There are approximately 100 days of grow ing weather -after that date, while the majority of vegetables require less than 90 days to be ready for use. It Is a fact that Nature does most of her need sowing, not in the spring, but during the summer and early fall. One of the chief reasons why summer planting Is not carried on more extensively Is that. In many sections of the country, wo usually have at that time r dry condition of the soil that delays or Interferes with germination. This year, fortunately, we have had abundant rains throughout June, so that the soil is in just the right condition to nssure the prompt germination of seeds planted now. Wide-awake gardeners are taking advantage of this condition to make their late plantings as large as pos sible. An unusual opportunity ex ists for the late beginner who still wants to make a garden this year. What You Can Plant Now The list of vegetables which can still be grown this year is big enough to satisfy any beginner. It includes: Beans, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, brusscls sprouts, lcale, celery, Swiss chard, sweet corn, endive, kohlrabi, lettuce, mustard, peas, radish, ruta bagas, spinach, squash (summer) and turnips. Of the above vegetables cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, kale and COUPON This coupon, when properly filled in, will entitle any reader of the HARRISBURCI" TELE GRAPH to one copy of the Mid summer Garden Book.

If you can get the plants, there is still plenty of time for tomatoes. They will be in their prime during September and early October, when the local crop is pretty well gone by, and both ripe and green tomatoes for making pickles and preserves are hard to get. The other vegetables in the list above should be started now from seed. There is one point about which care should be taken, how ever. That is: For late planting use early varieties. This advice may seem paradoxical at first, but will appear commonsense on a moment's reflection. The fol lowing are all good sorts: Beans, stringless green-pod, valen tine; beets, early model, Crosbys Egj ptian, Detroit dark red; cabbage, Danish ballhead.

With all of them it Is essential to use only the earliest varieties, as suggested above. Getting Strong Start Success with these late planted vegetables depends to a large extent on getting a strong germination and quick start in growth. To make as sure as possible of this, there are three points to be kept in mind: Plant on a freshly prepared sur face. Firm the seed well in the soil, if the latter Is at all dry. Provide a fertilizer high In avail able nitrogen to assure a robust, early growth. Whether the garden spaces to be planted have been newly dug up or prepared some time in advance, the seed should always be sown on soil that has been freshly worked over. There is a double reason for this. The first requisite for germination is moisture. Seeds, especially small seeds, are covered only lightly, and as the upper inch or two of soil dries out very quickly after It Is spaded up, seed planted in soil that has been lying for even a few days undis turbed is likely to be in want of enough moisture to cause good germination. If on the other hand the same soil had been worked over anew just previous to planting, moist fresh soil would be brought Into direct contact with the seed, causing it to swell and sprout Immediately. In the second place, within a few days after any piece of ground is worked over the weed seeds in It near the surface begin to sprout. If your vegetable seeds are not planted until some days later, they are therefore badly handicapped in the race for life with weeds. If, however, the soil Is raked over thor oughly immediately before planting, such weed seedlings as may have started —and there will llkolvhe thou sands of them, even if they tlo not all show above the surface— win be destroyed, giving the vegetables an even chance. Firm the Scotl Well A frequent cause of failure, or of poor results with late plantings, when the soil is usually not as moist as it fs in the spring, Is neglect to pack the soil about the newly planted seed firmly enough. After opening the drill or furrow and distributing the seed, go over the row with the back of the hoe or rake, or in case of large seeds, such as peas, beans or corn, with the ball of the foot, nd press the seed down Into the soil. Then cover immedi ately while the dirt is still fresh and moist to the depth requred for the kind of seed being sown. Cover small seeds, such as carrots, lettuce, kohlrabi, onions, leek and turnips, about one-fourth Inch deep. Celery and parsley, cover barely from sight, soaking seed a day or two first to hasten germination. Cover the medium-sized seeds, such as beets, parsnips, cucumbers, salsify, spinach and Swiss card, about one half Inch deep. Cover the large seeds, such as beans, corn, squash and pumpkin, one to two Inches deep. In light soil, or very dry weather, plant deeper than usual. In heavy soil or wet weather, shallower. After covering the seed, again press the soil down lightly on the surface, to prevent air spaces and to mark where the row or hill has been planted. On heavy clay soil or very wet weather, of course, little or no compacting of the soli over the seeds will be required. The details of planting root crops for winter use will be given In the next article. In the meantime. If you plan to have a late garden or grow winter vegetables, procure the seeds you may want.
