Rains Improve
Corn Growth

Tuesday and Wednesday OF this
week heavy rains fell all over this
section of the country, and from
reports we surmise that the corn
crop will be one of the largest
that has ever been raised i'll this
parish. Provisions are being made
by many farmers to store their
corn at home and avoid the short
age that generally occurs every
spring. We should also warn our
farmers that corn will be worth
from 81 a barrel up and that they
do not have to sell it for less. Mer-
chants who care to see their farm
er patrons get full prices for their
produce will undoubtedly take a
hand i'll the matter of finding a
market where the price is right.
There is always a score of buyers
who like to take undue advantage
of the farmers and take their pro-
duce without paying an honest, or
fair, price.

coolest weather. Two or three
inches of hay, straw, or leaves
will be a satisfactory protec-
ton, or the winter crop of

will furnish greens through
the winter and early spring.
Sow the seed of spinach in

ounces of seed will produce
enough green's for the average

are thus given room to de-
velop.

Radishes, Rhubarb, Satisfy and Spinach.


The radish is quite hardly
and may be grown in the open
all winter i'll the lower South
and i'll cold frames i'll the up
per South. Sow the seed III
the open ground as soon as
danger of hard frosts is over,
or i'll cold frames whenever
space is available. In the open,
sow the seed in drills IL to IS
inches apart, thin plants to l
inchapart. Successiveplantings
should be made every ten days
or two weeks until hot weather
comes and again in the aut-
umn when the hot weather be-
gins to get cool.
Varieties recommended:
There are three types of rad
ishes-- turnip- shaped, olive
shaped, and long, Of the tur-
nip-shaped, the best varieties
are the Scarlet Globe and
Scarlet Tnrnip. The best of
the olive-shaped sorts are the
French breakfast and Early
Scarlet. The Long Scarlet
Character, Long White Span
ish, and Icicle are the best va
rieties of the long type.

This crop can be grown in the
upper South, but can not be
grown satisfactory in the low

best to buy roots from seed.

Satisfy, OR NEGETA.
BILE OYSTER.

Sow seeds of satisfy i'll the
same manner as those of par
SHIPS and carrots. An ounce
of seed will plant a 100-foot
row and should be sufficient
for an average family. After
the plants are up, thin them
to about 2 inches apart i'll the
row. Satisfy may be dug and
stored the same as parsnips
and carrots or left in the soil
until needed. 1t is a biennial,
and if the roots are not dug
they will produce seed the sec
ond season.
Satisfy deserves more gen.

the most desirable root crops.
1t is sometimes boiled, rolled

table oyster.
