Beauty and utility combine in the
udo, a Japanese plant. The Depart
ment of Agriculture hopes that It
will be grown for utility, inasmuch as
this has been demonstrated. 1t has
been used for ornamental purposes
for some years.
The blanched roots of the udo have
a characteristic flavor, and if prop
erly cooked, furnish a delicious dish.
It is a plant requiring little care,
and with the same space devoted to
it Yields about the same amount of
food as asparagus. 1t grows to a
height of ten feet or more, and can
be forced each spring for at least six
years Aside from its value as a food
plant, the udo is regarded as a dis
tinct find for bee keepers, inasmuch
as its flowers attract great swarms
of honey bees. It grows well in
moist regions, particularly New Eng
land, the Atlantic States as Far South
as the Carolnas, in the rainy region
Of Puget Sound and in the trucking
sections of California.
Perhaps the greatest difficulty con-
nected with the cultivation of the udC
is the blanching of the shoots. It is
these that are regarded as the real
delicacy. for the flavor of the stems

UNCLE SAM Gives
OUT POULTRY TIPS
Expert Chicken Grower
Finds Colony House Gives
Best Results
ENVIRONMENT is
A GREAT BENEFIT
BY The United Press.

by Inc lnlleQ Press
WASHINGTON, May 6. - Colony
houses are the best homes for poul-
try. Uncle Sam decided this after an
exhaustive investigation conducted by
Alfred r. Lee, junior animal husband
man Of the poultry Investigations
branch, Department of Agriculture.
Lee has been raising chickens at Belts
vile, Md, so that farmers throughout
the country who 90 in for chicken rais-
ing as business or a side line may
have the most practical as well as
scientific information available.
"Ihe prime essentials in poultry
houses are fresh air, dryness, sunlight
and space enough to keep the birds com
Portable according to Lee.
NO particular house is adapted TO
all parts OF the country" he concludes,
"but generally speaking the southern
houses should have more exposure than
northern structures. The location
should have good water and air drain
age so that the yards will be dry The
house should not occupy low pocket or
hollow in which cold air settles and il
should be situated for convenience in
management ana adapted to the avail
able land"
He declares poultry can be raised sue
cessfully on any well drained soil
Long stationary houses-the intensive
system-eaves steps, Lee believes, but
the colony works for healthier birds
because they get more range.
Such houses should be built to ac-
commodate about 100 hens, and located
from 200 to 25O feet apart so that The
stock will not kill the grass. In the
winter these houses may be drawn
closer together to reduce labor during
these months. Lee advises against
much fencing, both because it raises the
cost of the plant and because it pre-
vents cultivation OF the soil to keeI
il Sweet"
Tho ideal size for the colony hous
is one large enough to give two to five
square feet of floor space for each bird
Concrete blocks may be used TO advan
tage, as may any well seasoned lumber
but advises against concrete straight.
Roosts, nests. dropping boards an'
flooring. he believes, should be con
stucted with view to cleanliness anC
sunlight
Environment has more influence il
wheat raising than does the composition
of the seed, according to officials of th'
bureau of chemistry. Furthermore new
tests show that in envionment, climate
plays a more important part than soil
To demonstrate this, the depart
ment conducted experiments in Cali
fornia. Kansas and Maryland, using
soils from all three sections in eacl
ovnarfn1pnf The results showed cOn
clusively that the wheat in one sec
ton was practically alike, regard
less of what portion of soil it grew

Nellie did not run after him. She
only smiled She was, however, sober
faced enough when she told the an
noyed John of the incident,
you see, john" she explained
plaintively, I'm all alone here, /
can't watch every part Of the house

"Yes, | see, said John rather sulk-

was making a great effort to muster
up the courage to say something.
Look here, Nellie" he blurted out
finally. You're a sweet little woman
and all that, but fellow must eat. "
Yes, John" responded Nellie de-
murely.
81 don't want to offend you, but you
don't know how to cook"

mother, after stormy discussion with
her son, came the next day.
What a glowing loving heart to
heart talk with the doubling, fearful
old mother the affectionate conhding
wife had! How sadly Nellie spoke
OF her dead mother, how tenderly to
this lonely woman whom she asked
to share her heart and home
And what a royal meal for John
that evening! How his eyes sparkled
at the goodly array Of eatables! No
biscuits like rocks, no doubtful roast,
no burned pudding!

"Why, SON." spoke Mrs, Marcy, a
