ton Of the roots. Keep close watch
OF them, and If this does not check
the trouble, use them. A head that
has burst soon becomes worthless.
Some times tomatoes fail to ripen
on the vines, and should be picked
when fully grown and placed in a sun
ny window to perfect. But unless this
is really necessary, let nature perform
the work in her own way, as the fruit
ripened on the vines has a richer fla
yor.
DO not try to grow two beets where
one should grow. You will have more
vegetables of superior quality by thin
ming them out to at least four inches
apart.
Celery may be planted between the
rows Of early potatoes. Sow turnips
where the early radishes and lettuce
we're raised.
Cucumbers for picking may be
planted as late as the middle of July.
Bordeaux mixture, three ounces to a
gallon of water, is an effective remedy
for the yellow striped beetle which at
tacks cucumbers, melons and
squashes in the early summer, and is
also the preventive for blight.
If you have only few vines, the
bugs may be brushed into a shallow
pan and at once transferred to a pail
of water containing a tablespoonful of
kerosene, which finishes them. This
can only be done very early in the
morning or after shutdown. They are
very active during sunshine, but semi
dormant in the early hours of the day
Sweet corn fodder has more nu-
triton than that of field corn. See
that every bit is utilized after the
ears are gathered. 1t makes fine pork.

WHEAT NOW BEING
RELOCATED TO REAR
Average Eastern Farmer Uses It
Merely to Get Crop of Clover
or Timothy.

IRstead of planting every available
acre to wheat, the average farmer in
the Eastern states plants wheat mere
ly to get crop of clover or timothy,
says a writer in the Baltimore Ameri-
can. If our fathers and grandfathers
could have had the acreage of lang
that is available aad under cultivation
today they would have grown nearly a
billion and half I1Shels of wheat had
they given it the same care and atten-
ton that they gave TIE acreage OF 40
years ago.
For several decades wheat has been
relegated to the rear. 1t is no longer
looked up to in the highest respect as
the means of paying the taxes, re-
pairs and living expenses as was once
the case. 1t resolves itself, therefore,
into a question largely of price, and
wheat is relatively the cheapest in
trinsically of any commodity that Is
produced on the farm. and wheat flour
IS today lower than any food the la
borer is required to buy. Wheat must
be kept near the dollar mark if farm
ers are to grow 1t as a money enter
prise.
