ably much longer The flowers attract
bees and flies in such numbers that a
field of it is usually humming with
insects. As a honey plant, therefore,
the undo deserves the attention of bee
keepers.
lido growing is not yet sufficiently
general in this country for the most
inexpensive methods of cultivating to
have Keen worked out, and conditions
in America are so different from those
in Japan that little benefit can be de-
rived from the experience of Oriental
growers. 1t is, however, reasonable to
assume that the cultivation of the udo
presents few difficulties. 1t is adapted
to a wide range of climate, as is shown
by the fact that it grows all over Jap
an, but no part of Japan suffers from
drought In this country the udo has
done best in moist regions, in particu-
lar in New England, the Atlantic
States as far south as the Carelinas.
in the rainy region of Puget Sound,
and in the trucking sections of Califor-
mia.
Where greenhouses or cold frames
are available, the seed should be plant
inch deep in soil that consists of equal
parts of loan, mold and sand. AS soon
as the plants are to inches high,
they can be planted out in the ground
or potted and set out later. Thereaf-
ter the udo needs little attention. It's
roots spread with extraordinary rapid
ity through loose, rich solitude is not
recommended for poor, dry land-and
the crowns soon become at least foot
across. Three and half or four feet
is therefore not too great distance to
allow between plants.
Perhaps the greatest difficulty con-
neeted with the cultivation OF the udo
is the blanching of the shoots. 1t is
these that are regarded as the real del
icacy. for the flavor of the stems when
green has a certain rankness which is
unpleasant to most palates. Various
methods of blanching the early shoots
have therefore been experimental with.
In California excellent results have
been obtained by mounding up the
earth in the early spring over each
plant much as is done with aspara-
gus. Elsewhere, however, the late
frosts make the soil too cold and the
shoots are slow III coming through.
Another method is to put a large
drain tile, with one end closed, over
each hill before the spring growth
starts. The shoots which come UP in
side the tile are well blanched but they
show a tendency to produce number
of unopened leafstalks which take
away from the robust growth OF the
shoots. To obviate this casks or boxes
filled with light material such as sand
or sifted coal ashes have been tried
with considerable success. In any

case great care must be taken not to
permit tn shoots to break through
into the sunlight If they succeed in
this, they at once become green and
their flavor rank Shoots can be cut
when only six inches long, but is bet
ter to let them grow to u or Is in
ches.
In the cooking of udo there is still
abundont room for innovators. In all
experiments, however, one thing must
be remembered. When raw, the stems
contain a resinous substance which
gives them a decided, and to many per-
sons, unpleasant taste of pine. 1t is
however, easy to eliminate this by
soaking thin slices of the stems in
ice-cold water. for an hour or two, or
by boiling them in two or three waters,
as is often done with strong-fiavored
vegetables. The author of the Bulle-
Tin, who has been experimenting for
eight years with udo on his Maryland
farm, suggests the three following re-
ceipes as samples of what can be done
with the vegetables:
lido on Toast.
Peal the shoots and drop them into
cold water. Cut them into 4-inch
lengths. Boil them in salt water for
10 minutes, then change the water, ad-

and boiling until quite SOFT Prepare
a white sauce, such as is used for

The lido, a New Vegetable from
Japan--Easy to Raise--Good Food

The blanched shoots of the udo have
a characteristic flavor. Properly pre-
pared they are delicious-or so the au-
thor of Bulletin "a, just published by
the L. S. Department of Agriculture
under the title of Experiments with
lido, the New Japanese Vegetable"
has found them. The plant requires
little care and with the same space
devoted to it, yields approximately
the same amount of food for the table
as asparagus and is ready for use at
about the same time in the spring.
After the first frost it dies down each
autumn to come up again in the spring,
much IS asparagus and rhubarb do.

MARY o'REILLY SCORES THE
COMMERCIAL INTERESTS

o. ! ENES
Miss Mary O'Reilly of the Teach
ers' Federation scored the CONNER
ciaI interests for dominating the
school system at.the Grace church
open forum Sunday evening.
'"The commercial interests" she
said, ARE making the schools fit the
industries and destroying the ideal
Of American education by forcing the
children to be fitted only for mills and
factories.
"The Teachers Federation started
twenty years ago to fight for a demo-
cratic school system and the school
crisis today is a struggle between the
teachers and the interests for the
control of our education. -
'It is not enough to teach children
to read and write. The school must
be the mother of the children. It must
make them normal, efficient and
right.
eve must develop independence;
set the child free; make him do his
own thinking.
luO CLlIuICu MuSI DC taught GN-
erything and sent into the world with
free minds. They must not be Grip
pied by u education.
'"The same interests that would
throttle freedom in education want
the children taught patriotism and
to die for the flag. They would not
allow the Peace Society to hold a
Peace Day in the schools for fear that
it would conteract the lingo spirit of
the press.
1.-THE schools are not ideal today.
But if we could get the money stolen
by the newspapers in midnight leases
we could prepare a course of study
that would give freedom to the chill
dren and teachers.
"The schools should be larger,
there should be fewer children to

I'VE acknowledge that we make

daughters each year, but why should
you complain; you know they would die

''Of course we recruit 152, 900 of your

That is only business; how could we con-

Would we take your son? Why certainly,
that's our business; what we are after
is money; your boys and girls are no
better than your neighbors boys and
girls; they think just as much OF
their children as you do of yours. If
you don't want us to have your boys why
don't you move over into dry territory.
And say. you goody goody people

Citizens of Garrett county don't you

The only argument that the saloon
keeper makes now, (all Others have

you can't stop them, that prohibition

Virginia and they will prove to you
that that statement also is false.
1t is an insult to the manhood of

The Daddy Law
Making Body.

We have in the United States all
kinds of law making bodies, all kinds of
deciding bodies, and all kinds of law =
enforcing bodies. all more or less Jealous
of each other. But there is one law
making, law dec iding and law enforcing
body which is the daddy of them all, and
when it gets busy and says, at shall
be so and so, all the other little dinky
jealous bodies fall over themselves try
ing to prove that that is just what they
had figured out and that it is absolutely
constitutional.
What body is so powerful and is so
wise? Why, the common people, -
public opinion, and you can bank on it.,
when that body Sits a problem and
decides upon it, it is mighty near right
For years this great body has had its
thinking done by proxy, and the
holders of the proxies have betrayed
their trust, so there will be no more
proxies. The people are awaking, are
sitting up and taking notice, in fact
becoming quite pert, and the whole tribe
of politicians, grafters. bribers and
robbers have had their balloons pune
tured and that is why hot air is so very
cheap.
There is now a great question up be-
fore this great law-making, law-decid-
ing and law enforcing body. 1t has
been made foot ball of by the lesser
bodies together with the help of the
aforesaid lobbyists, grafters, bribers
and robbers for 10, these many wears.
and now these lesser bodies and
henchmen are frightened almost to
death. They know that this great
body will slit out all their crookedness
and there will be many la vacant chair
in the lesser law-making and law
enforcing bodies.
The great question before the people
today is the liquor question. AS this
great body has no use for hot air and
want cold blooded facts, and will have
them, there is great CONSERVATION
among the liquor people together with
their henchmen, grating politicians and
allied interests.
