PROVIDE FOR THE TURNIP CROP

Too frequently n of the most ne
elected crops on the farm is turnips.
It often happens that this crop is
sown in some patch of ground where
nothing else would be expected to
grow. Turnips should not be sown
on land where a crop of weeds has
previously been plowed under, as the
weeds tend to absorb much of the
available plant food from the soil.
The market gardening authorities
at the New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton advise making provision for tur-
nips in the garden or field. To pro-
vide for turnips the ground should be
plowed as soon as the preceding crop
is off and kept narrowed. By this
method weed seed will be killed off,
the soil will be in fine physical condi-
ton and moisture and plant food will
become available, assuring quick, ev-
en- termination. If fertilizer is to be
used, it should be broadcasted and
narrowed in just before planting.
Turnips for winter use, according
to the New Jersey Station authorities,
should not be planted until just after
the first of August. 1t is an all too
common mistake among farmers to
plant turnip seed too thickly. One
pound of good seed is enough to an
acre.

Group Building Plan.

A special feature of the building at
what is known as "The Gardens a
section of Philadelphia, is the s~o-called
"group building" plan. This plan
makes it possible to buy a house of
superior construction and enduring
value for a lower price because of its
being either semi-detached or one of
a group of three, four, six, eight or
ten houses set CONTINUOUSLY in a row
These groups and rows add greatly to
the beauty and variety of the building
scheme. They have been planned so
as to conform to land and road con-
tours and are of different sizes and
prices, with varying interior arrange
ments and architectural treatment.
For instance, houses may be sold for
less money than a detached house on
a larger plot, but the same house pur-
chaser has the same advantages in
construction, and a richness and var
iety in the architectural treatment of
the block unit, not possible with the
smaller exterior surface of a detach-
ed house. That this novel building
feature has been appreciated is shown
by the fact that the group houses have
been eagerly bought.

NEW FISH HATCHERY
MECCA FOR AUTOISTS.

New Jerseys great fish hatchery
at Hackettstown, the largest and
most successful plant in the world for
the artificial rearing of fish, is now
omen for public inspection. and auto
lists from all parts of the state have
discovered that the interesting estab-
lishment is an ideal Mecca for a days
pleasure tour. The hatchery is To-
Gated in a region famous for its mag
nifcent scenery. 1t is approached
through the picturesque Schooley
Mountains of Warren county, over
fine roads connecting with the princi-
pal state highways.
This hatchery is in operation the
year round, and visitors a see mil
lions of fish in all stages of develop
ment. The hatchery buildings. nur-
sery sheds and long series of concrete
rearing ponds cover several acres OF
ground, and it is a marvel of the ar
rangement that one big spring, filling
an eight-inch pipe, supplies fresh wa
ter by gravity to all the different sec
lions of the plant. Charles o. Hay
ford is the superintendent in charge
of the hatchery, through the output of
the New Jersey Fish and Game
Commission has started to build up
and maintain good fishing for the
public in all the available waters
throughout the state. Noted fish cul-
turists from other states, who have
recently visited the hatchery, have
left convinced that the Commission
has the equipment at Hackettstown
for carrying out its big program, and
recommending that every Jersey
sportsman who can spare the time
should visit the plant in order to APP
preciate the magnitude of the restock-
ing work this state has undertaken.

THINNING PEACHES.

The New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton directs the attention of peach
growers who wish large size fruit to
the necessity of thinning the fruit at
this time. The June drop is about
over in the large peach sections of the
State and the peaches left on the trees
at this time will probably mature.
In the Ease of some varieties such
as Carman, Hiley, Belle of Georgia
and many others, the set is so heavy
that the peaches cannot attain any
size by ripening time unless they are
thinned. The recommendation of the
extension specialist in fruit growing
at the New Jersey Station is that in.
the case of the varieties mentioned
the peaches be thinned so as to leave
one to every four or five inches. With
such varieties as Elberta n to six
inches will be better.
The result of this thinning will be
larger fruit, less disease and a greater
profit per tree. AS has been brought
out by the authorities at the New J$r-
sey Station recently, small peaches
will not bring good prices in a year
when the peach crop is so heavy as
appearances point to its being this
wear.

MODEL FOR RURAL SCHOOLS
Building at GAINESVILLE, Mo-, Might
Be Copied to Advantage by
Country Communities.

The McDannold rural school, To-
Gated two and a half miles from
GAINESVILLE, Pike county, Missouri, is
considered the prettiest country
schoolhouse in that state.
1t was made possible by the public
spirit of E. c. Cameron, a wealthy
landowner of the county, who desired
his children to attend a country
school, but did not consider the old
wooden building good enough for them
or the other youngsters of the dis
trict. Mr.. Cameron furnished the
plans and the brick, the county fur
nished the rest of the material and
the labor.
The. interior of the building is thor
oughly modern and is quite in keep
ing with the outside appearance. The
vines, shrubbery and ornamental
trees were furnished by Mr.. Cameron
and his landscape gardener keeps
them in trim.
Dean w. w. Charters of the school
of education of the University of
Missouri is using this school as an ex-
ample in his campaign for the beau
