PROPER QUANTITY
OF SEEDS TO PLANT

People who have not made a study Of
gardening are some times puzzled TO know
how much of each kind OF vegetable TO
plant. The following quantities viii be
sufficient to supply an average family,
say OF. six persons:
AsparaguslSFurrows twenty feet long
and three feet apart.
Artichokes-One ounoe OF seed will fur
nish an ample supply.
Pole Beans-Two quarts planted one
week apart.
Lima Beans-one quart planted one
week apart.
Lima Beans-one quart planted one
week apart.
Beets-Two ounces OF seed
Brussels sprouts-One ounce OF seed.
This is one of the most delicious vege-
tables raised and should be in every gar
den.
Carrots-One ounce OF seed.
Caulifiower-One ounce Of seed. This Is
another excellent vegetable which is much
neglected in the average farm garden.
Ceiery--One ounce of seed will produce
about fifteen hundred plants
Sweet Corn-One pint OF seed for each
planting. This should be planted about ten
days apart.
Cucumbers-One-half ounce OF seed will
plant twenty-five hills,
Evening journal., 1910-03-22

Lettuce-One-half ounce OF seed. Sow
ten days apart
Onions-Plant two rows fifteen feet long,
making three paintings ten days apart.
Peas-Did anybody ever raise too many
peas? Plant one quart at a planting about
ten days apart
Peppers-One half ounce Of seed
Radishes-Sow one-haf ounce every three
weeks
Turnips-One ounce OF seed sown broad
cast will produce a big cast Sow thinly
and do not be afraid 10 thin out after the
plants come up.
Rhubarb-one dozen roots win last a
family a life time.
spmach-sow two ounces Of seed ii
drills.
squash-one ounce Of seed will plan
about twenty hills.
Amateur gardeners often make the mis-
take OF planting vegetables too close to-
gcther, Plants having large foliage sucl
as tomatoes. peas and beans should b,
given plenty Of room in order that the
sunshine may reach all parts.

MENTION F.H.DAVIS.
FOR SENATORSHIP
Dover Law yer May Run as
Successor to RemSen c.
Barnard

speclai 70 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Dell March "a surprising
politicai development here is apparent in
the talk among the leaders in the Re
publican lines-that Frank II. Davis, the
Dover man. who was defeated for at
torney-general of the State at the last
election but who is now back at his desk
after having engaged in legal business
elsewhere. temporarily, Is to be run for
state senator to succeed Senator Pemsen
c. Barnard. Republican.
The Third Senatorial District, in which
Davis is to be run, according to the pres
ent program. is Republican as a rule, al
though at last election, when the Alice
men split. both the representative districts
which make up this senatorial district
elected Democratic Levy Courtmen. So,
while it is a district with Republican lean
ings, It is one which cannot be "monkeyed
with" as the Democrats put II.
Probably the most astonishing develop
rnent Of the candidacy of Mr.. Davis. how
ever. is that his friends are claiming that
suddenly the Alice men have jumped TO
his defense and VIII support him both at
the nominating primaries and for election
II he should succeed.
They point out in support OF this that
Councilman c. George Wright. a bosom
friend OF former Senator Alice and con-
cerned in interest in many Of Mr.. Allee's
financial operations now. is back Of Davis
and is to be run for representative in the
Fifth district on the same ticket Mr..
Wright was Governor Lea's collector of
oyster revenue for the State and is q
man Of means. Wright has admitted 10
few friends that Davis can win the syn
atorship If he will run, but has made no
public statement concerning It.
In support Of this development It is
shown that at the recent municipal cleo
tion. when Wright was elected Council
man in a contest for other" candidates,
with Wright's vote heavy. that Davis sud
denly turned up at the polls and worked
like trojan with Wright tickets.
