commercial peach growing because
the markets within its logical radius
for distribution are already abundant
~ supplied with peaches from dis
tricts which in some important re-
spects are more advantageously placed.
1t is the current opinion that the
peach should be planted on sandy or
some of the lighter types of soil.
While it is true that excellent results
may follow the planting of orchards
on such soils, it is equally true that
peaches do well on a wide range of
soil types, including ven some of the
moderately heavy clay loans and clays.
But, whatever the type, a soil must be
thoroughly well drained to be suitable
for peaches. They will not succeed on
poorly drained soils. 1t follows that
the heavy clay types which are so
hard and impervious that water does
not p%ercolate through them readily are
to be avoided as a rule. Moreover, a
soil should be moderately fertile. One
very rich in nitrogen is not to be de.
sired as a general rule since it is likely
to induce an excessive growth Of foil
age. On the other hand, the impress
sion which is somewhat common that
a poor, ~unfertile soil is good enough
for peaches is erroneous.
In districts in which alkali soils &C.
cur sites should be selected with a
view to avoiding them. While the
peach tree can be grown. where there
Is a limited amount of the alkali salts,
they cause disaster if present in large
quantities. It is safer. therefore, to
avoid them as far as possible.
AS a general proposition a site that
is elevated considerably above the sur
rounding areas is to be preferred for
an apple orchard. Relative elevation is
generally Of greater Importance than
actual elevation above sea level.
It is a we'll recognized fact, though
one too often overlooked in selecting
sites for orchards, that cold air settles
to the lower levels. For this reason
it is often colder at the lower eleva~
lions than it is at higher points in the
same locality. This is what is meant
by atmospheric drainage" The OCCUR
renee Of frost in low, places when there
is none in elevated areas is thus ex-
planned. For the same reason peach
buds are often winter killed or the
blossoms are injured by frost in the
spring in low places when nearby Or
chards on higher elevations are injured
much less or even escape entirely.
Where an orchard occupies a site that
Is adjacent to a large body Of water
the Importance Of a relatively high
elevation largely, perhaps entirely, dis
appears. To be a factor in the matter,
however. a body Of water must be Of
sufficient size and depth to have an
appreciable influence: on the local
climate. Because the water warns up
In: the spring more slowly than the
atmosphere it acts in effect as a re-
frigerator, making the temperature in
its immediate vicinity colder than It is
at points somewhat distant from 1t.
For this reason vegetation within the

FARMING ON THIS LITTLE FARM
Of ground in n season, provided care
is taken to make the right combina-
ton. A scheme like this is feasible:
Peas, followed by cabbage, beans.
tomatoes or celery.
Onions, beets, beans and squash, fol-
lowed by kale. turnip, kohlrabi or rad
ishes.
Lettuce, followed by beans and to-
matoes.
Spring spinach, followed by beans
and tomatoes.
Early carrots, followed by spinach,
kale, turnips and winter radishes.
Early corn. followed by a second
crop Of corn, by beans, tomatoes Or
celery.
For lnteroropping the following may
be used:
Radishes with beets, carrots or pars-
nips, tomatoes or corn.
Squashes, pumpkins, with corn.
Early onions with caulifower or cab
bage.
Lettuce with early cabbage, corn or
tomatoes.
Space in the garden may be saved
by planting corn between alternate
rows Of potatoes after the last cult
walton, and when the potatoes are har-
vssyed winter turnips may be planted.
thus keeping the ground busy all the
season. If early peas are planted three
feet apart corn may be started be-
tween the rows, and when the peas
are on squash seeds may be put in. 1t
Is ever possible to have pole beans
climb up the cornstalks, although this
is carrying intensive culture to *.
rremes.
When the ground is to be kept cov-
cred all the season, it is necessary to
nave it rich, to cultivate it thoroughly
and to use the hoe freely from spring
until fall If the owner of a little place
Is willing to observe these three points,
1t will be easy for him to grow an
amount OF produce that will amaze his
nelghbors. Fall blowing is essential
and manure should be spread quite
literally and covered to a depth Of
eight to twelve inches.
What to grow in the hotbed in order
to get ready for this sort of intensive
gardening depends on your market or
what you want to use it for. Leaf
lettuce and radishes are always in de-
mand in early spring. They are some
what easier to grow than other crops
For lettuce start q small bed early and
transplant in space 4 by 5 inches when
they have grown to the second leaf.
The soil should be moist, but not wet.
Do not water them until after the
plants get a good start.
This matter Of watering Is a part1cu-
lar part Of the work. Water should
be applied only during the early hours
Of the day and when the sun is shin
ing. Plenty Of ventilation is also inn
portant and the edge Of the sash
should be raised according to the heat
of the day, closing up in time to hold
the heat after the sun goes down.
Radishes are easy to raise, but If they
are forced too much they are liable to
go mostly to tops. A few days longer
in growing will give them better quail
ity. An small, imperfect seed ought to
be sifted out. The stand should aver
| age from one-half inch to an inch in
the row, and the rows ought to be
five inches apart.
It usually pays to start early
tomatoes, cabbage, cauli6ower and
other tender vegetables in the hot
house, as thus they get a good start
before the ground is warm enough for
them. r3' :, ." ~ ~. ..'' .~-t'-

WHY is BAD AIR
Experts Prove that Overheated
Rooms Without Proper Venti-
lation Produce Serious Ply
Biological Defects

Air is bad, when it is overhead
ed, when it contains an excess Of
moisture, and when it is cheml-
cally contaminated. This is the
conclusion of the New York State
Commission on Ventilation, as
summarized by Professor c. E. A.
| Wnslow, Chairman, in the official
organ of The National Association
| for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis, the Journal of the
| Outdoor Life.
Professor Wmslow shows that
while it has been a matter of COM
mon belief for a long time that
stagnant air was bad for the body,
until recently no one knew why
this was so. The New York State
Commission on Ventilation has de-
finitely proven two counts against
bad air, one of them for the first
time in history, and will probably
prove others later on.
The first indictment against bad
air shows that an increase in tenn
perature beyond the normal sew
enty degrees produces serious de-
rangement of the vaso-mOtor
mechanism of the body, resulting
in a rise of temperature, increased
pulse, and a lowered blood pres
sure, with a corresponding de-
crease in efficiency, both physical
and mental. In addition to this,
overheating conduceS to an unde-
sirable congestion of the mucous
membranes of the nose, thus, pos
sibly paving the way for colds,
sore threats, and attacks of vari
Gus germ diseases.
The work of the Commission al !
so proves that chemical accumula-
lions in the air as a result of air
stagnation, bring about a decreas-
ed appetite for food, which in turn
must have an unfavorable effect
on the entire body. In the Com I
experiments, the people
living in fresh air ate 4 1-2 to 10 |
per cent. more than those living in |

word is meant here the aggregate

sary, that make life in a city q
constant and a more or less un.
REALIZED tax on the average nerv-
Ious system and that results in a
lquicker wearing out of the human
machine.
Two sets of conditions force on
us a realization of the noises of a
city. One is the first arrival in a
big city from the quieter sur
Iroundings of country life. The
other is when exhausting sickness
has reduced the resisting power
and emphasizes the detrimental
effect of sudden and startling
sounds on the condition of the pa
tient.
A further analysis of the noises
that make the rumble of the busy
city, shows that many, perhaps
most, of them are unnecessary to
the extent that they might be pre-
vented. Most Of them are not ac-
cidents. They are avoidable.
Physicians and scientists have
left no doubt that excessive noise
has distinctly harmful effect on
the human system, which each in
dividual resists in proportion to
his physical power of resistance.
He is the exception who is not in
jured by it sooner or later.
The bells, the few that are left
to call us to church, are unneces-
sary; they are more a recogni-
ton of a sentiment than a tribute
to utility. No bells are sounded
to call us to the theatre or to
catch railroad trains, or to keep
dinner engagement or one with
the dressmaker or the tailor.
Hardly more necessary are the
bells on which the hours are
sounded in steeple clocks, yet
they are in part justified by prac-
teal utility and by the fact that

| their noise is not lnceSSant.
The city that permits the blow
ing of locomotive whistles within
| it's limits is behind the times. The
city of Chicago some years ago
declared against this nuisance and
demanded the abolishing of grade
crossings, just as any other city
has the right to demand.
The inharmonious jangling of
streetcar bells as a sort of com
mand to "get out Of the way, /" is
an infringement on the rights of
the citizen. By their constant and
excessive ringing they lose the eff
feet for which they are intended.
The increasing complexities Of
modern living have added to the
list of abatable noises. The auto
mobile is responsible for some of
these, with its diSagreeable and
excessive honking and the vio-
lence of its unmuffied exhaust.
Too often public sentiment is in
different to the cutting out of the
muffler in violation of city ordi-
nance, and the selfish driver in
the residence sections, away from
direct police observation, presum-
ing on this, takes all kinds Of
liberties with the rights of help
less citizens.
A number of the smaller cities
of Florida make the occurrence of

Professor Winslow, "indicate that

duced by human bodies as it was
