He had a penetrating, vigorous IN

He witnessed with approval, the muir

He dragged men and women from

to Damascus with letters to bring

NEW AND VIEW S

The very word farming has taken on
a new meaning-a broader, deeper and
higher meaning. New requirements
are being demanded, better work Is be-
ing done, higher standard is being
set, and unaccomplished possibilities
rise to our view.
Facts convince the reading public so
much more quickly now than they did
d few years since. Let us have facts
about the farm, the garden, the or
chard and then-more facts.
The recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States denying to
fruit shippers the right to route their
shipments over connecting railroads in
the east has aroused citrus growers,
shippers and citizens of southern Cali
fornia to active efforts to obtain legs-
lation that will enable shippers to route
their product.

provides that the present annual APP

transplanted onions very useful. We
use the Prizetaker variety, which
seems best for this purpose. The

and fertilizer and carefully plowed and

hotbeds in March or started outdoors
as early in the season as possible

plants die. but there may be a number
of vigorous plants remaining which

the comparatively few bacteria present
in the soil at the time of seeding and
