HOW ONE MAN DID.
After a Series of Failures He Makes
a Success of Winter Culture of
Vegeta bles.

-
A thrifty German friend of the
writer, who had the usual large fam
lily, was not content TO rest and loat
during the winter months. He was
burdened with a heavy mortgage
which went on 365 days a year. and
piled up interest against the labor OF
the summer. He declared thai he
would do something TO onset the mort.
gage fiend.
Visiting a large market during the
winter season he saw how readily fresh
vegetables found sale at handsome
prices. inquiry revealed the fact that
these Vegetables were grown in hot
houses near the town, and thai a
handsome profit was made.
Two hundred dollars was spent in
the house and equipment and when
winter blasts came the fire was start.
ed and lettuce sown. The plants came up
quickly and started a fine growth.
When about half ready for the mar.
ket a bit of carelessness caused the
house to become overheated. and two
thirds of the crop was lost. Nothing
daunted, the dead plants were rooted
out and another crop sown. This was
attacked by lice, and almost destroyed
before our friend knew what was the
matter. Fumigation was resorted to.
but the crop had been practically
killed. Thus far the results had been
disastrous. Our friend was working
in the dark, so to speak. He was
learning by experience, but it was
costly.
He determined to visit greenhouses
of successful gardeners and learn the
secrets OF their success. In one week
he learned the simple rules regarding
soil, moisture. heat, ventilation and
fumigation. He returned home and
made another effort. This time the
crop was raised. not, however, with
out troubles, but it was placed on the
market and netted SIS. The next year
the subject OF greenhouse gardening
was studied in greater detail, and sew
eral changes made. The house was
started early in October, and kept 60
ing until the first OF April, The sea
son Melted him about $500. or almost
as much as he made on his farm dur
ing the summer. Since the first ex.
pertinent, says the Ohio Farmer, "
larger houses have been built. and
the business has increased until 1t
about $500 a year. The people
are anxious for the products, and are
to pay big prices for them.

JEFFERSON City-The ffty-ff report
OF public schools, now in the hands of
the state printers, will show there are
BOB public high schools In the state.
Supt' Darlington classified $50 of them,
as follows: % There are CT first-class
nigh schools. each doing full four years
OF approved work; 4 in st. Louis (Cen-
tral, Mckinley, Yeatman and Summer
and a In Kansas City Central, Man.
ual, Westport and Lincoln; the SO
others are In as many, different cities
and towns. GU There are ~ second
class high schools, each doing three
years of approved work, but not four
years. Many of them do four years
work, some of which can not be ap-
proved-some on account of lack of
equipment or school room. others be-
cause Of short terms or insufficient
teaching force In number or prepara-
tion. 60 There are 1913 third-class high
schools, each doing two years of ap-
proved work. Many of these fall be-
low second class for one or more of
the reasons stated above. az There are
l15 other high schools that may easily
get into the third class by making
greater efforts. The difficulty with
many OF these schools is lack of funds
and principals with managing ability
and well-matured plans. While they
can not be classified under the law,
Supt. Darlington puts them in a fourth
list to distinguish them from another
list Of 204 that do some high school
work, but are not near to standards set
for third-class schools. The following
shows the high school situation in Mis-
souri,: Number of frst-class high
