can be had by applying to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Turnips.
The turnip should be grown both as
a spring and as a fall crop. For the
spring crop, plant as early as the con.
dition of the soil will permit, and for
the fall SOW the seed in late summer
or early autumn. Sow the seed thickIy
in rows Is to IS inches apart, and as
the plants reach a height of or 5
inches begin thinning, using the young
plants for green's. For good roots thin
the plants to about inches apart in
the row. Cultivate turnips the same
as carrots and parsnips. Turnips may
be left in the ground until needed for
the table, pulled and stored in a Gel
lar. or buried in banks or pits.
Varieties recommended: Purple Top
White Globe, Seven Top. White Milan,
and yellow Aberdeen.
Rutabagas-Large quantities OF
rutabagas are shipped from the North
ern States and Canada into the South
ern States each year. While this
crop is not commonly cultivated in the
South, it may be grown as a fall and
winter crop to very good advantage.
Rutabagas are planted the same as
turnips, except that they require more
room and a longer period of growth.
The Purple Top is the most COM
mon variety of rutabaga.

WoMAN's CONGRESS FIASCO.

pleased that the congress proved to
be a fasco, because it was too much
dominated by the suffrage movement,
which by it's nature cannot be of inter
national scope" says Miss Christobal
Pankhurst. This is fortunate for the
movement, for it it could become inter
national the Germans would control
and dominate it as they have social
ism and use the cause to promote pan
Germanism.
English women insist that the war
be carried on to it's bitter end. This
is amply shown by the large proportion
of married men who are enlisting with
their wives approval. The only WON

not at war with the Kaiser, and can
not, therefore, understand what war

i that her beauty is a feeting affair.
And yet-the tactless woman does all
this, and without in the least realizing
the enormity of the crime Then when
her friend shows symptoms of chilli
ness in manner, the tactless woman
viii become aggrieved and will mani
fest symptoms of disapproval
Il can't think how it is that so many
of my old friends don't come to see
me any more,' she will announce in
injured tones, probably to her long-suf-
fering husband, who knows the reason
only too well, but for the life of him
dare not tell her so. Il don't have
nearly so many friends as l used to

The reason of this lies in the growth
of the tactless habit For tactlessness
is never static, it must either increase
Or decrease. And unfortunately it
generally exhibits the former tenden-
cy. Hence, after a certain point, the
habit has progressed so far that it has
become positively unpleasant. And
few people will stand that sort of
thing for long.
