LETTUCE EASY TO GROW.
Hotbed Soil Should Be Light anf
Very Rich.


Growing lettuce Is about the easiest
thing we know of in garden work. Il
Sow good seed in the hot bed early
When the plants show two leaves tramp
plant them to cold frames and just as
5000 as the ground is warm set them IN
the sopen bed in rows about IA inches
apart in order that the wheel hoe may
be used in cultivation. The plants msw
be set ous between rows of early c&&
bage or cauliflower as they will be out
of the way before the latter crops come
up.
If set along paintings one week apart
will give two or three crops before the
hot weather comes on The fall crop IS
always profitable and can be raised
from seed in the open If shaded with ar
other crop or light canvas awning wit{Ae
the sun is hot.
The soil must be light and very rich
with well rotted stable manure. light
application of nitrate of soda in the rows
after the plants are we'll started will
cause rapid growth. -
Next fall. say in September. sow your
seed in the open ground and transplant
to cold frames in October and nurse
them along through the winter. In the
South the plants may be left out of
doors all winter
Always plant in rows and give good
cultivation. This means you will be able
to raise large, vigorous heads. Find OUT
what kind your market wants most and
raise that variety.-Kansas City Journal.

TROUBLE IN GROWING MELONS.
Spraying With Bordeaux Mixture
Will Check Leaf Blight.

When blight attacks the canteloupe
then the hopes of the grower wilt. as
well as the leaves of the plants--it is
usually hard case to cure.
Leaf blight is the most common of cam
teloupe troubles. The leaves become
covered with light, to dark brown, gem
orally circular spots, which increase in
size and finally coalesce. resulting IN
complete whiting and curling of the
leaves.
The spots commonly show fine and
rather Rldistinct concentric markings.
such as are found in the common alter
maria blight of the potato. The leaf
stalks and vines are also affected. The
blight is caused by a fungus which may
at least be checked by spraying with
bordeaux.
The first application should be made
when the vines are from II to IS inches;
long and then every two weeks durins
the season.
The bordeaux mixture should be of the
usual strength-six pounds of bluestone
and six pounds of lime to so gallons of
water
The greatest care must be taken to get
down on the under side of the leaves
with the spray. Use hand pump on
small plots with fine spray If this
does not save them nothing wilL-Kan-
