Keep the Children
Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be healthy.
The digestive organs OF children get
out of order as readily as do those
of their elders, and the result is
equally distressing. When the bowels
are Clogged with an accumulation
of refuse from the stomach the child
naturally becomes cross and fretful
from the discomfort, and is often
punished for temper when medical
attention Is really what is needed.
The next time your child is cross
and unhappy. without apparent rea-
son, try giving it mild laxative.
Dr. Caidwell's Syrup Pepsin Is a
mild, pleasant tasting combination
Of simple laxative herbs with pep
sin, and is especially recommended
for children because OF it's freedom
from all opiate or narcotic drugs
and its gentle action 1t is sold in

the former. For medium and late
varieties. the following are suggest
ed: Greater Baltimore. Red Rock,
Globe. Beauty. Acme. and Stone.
The Stone is usually preferred for
canning. For fuller information on
tomato culturs see Farmers Bulle-
tin. 642. entitled Tomato Growing
In the South This can be had by
applying to the Department of Ag-
riculture.
The turnip should be grown both
as a spring and as a fall crop. For
the spring crop, plant as early as
the condition of the soil W. III permit,
and for the fall crop SOW the seed In
late summer or early autumn. Sow
the seed thickly in rows fifteen to
eighteen inches apart, and as the
plants reach a height of four or
five inches, begin thinning, using the
young plants for greens For good
roots thin the plants to about three
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 cellar,
or buried in banks or pits.
Varieties recommended: Purple Top
Globe, white Globe. Seven Top.
Rutabagas-Large quantities OF
rutabagas are shipped from the
Northern States and Canada into
the Southern states each year. While
this crop Is not commonly cultivated
in the South, II may be grown as
fall and winter crop to very good
advantage.
RutabaEas 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 rutabaEa.

cloth. but in the upper South a hot
bed should be employed. When only a
few plants are needed, the seed
may be sown in a shallow box In
the house. For the best results In
growing tomatoes the young plants
should be transDlanted as soon as
they reach a height of one and a
half to two inches. Transplant these
plants TO stand two inches apart
each way in a hotbed. cold frame. or
box in the house. When the plants
begin to crowd 1t Is a good plan to
transplant them to flower pots, plant
bands, old strawberry boxes. or tin
cans, from which the bottoms and
tops have been melted.
Tomato plants should be set in the
open as soon as danger of frost has
passed. If the plants are to be
pruned to one or two stems and tied
to stakes, they should be set eight
cen inches apart In rows three feet
apart. II the plants are not pruned
or staked they may be planted
three feet apart IN rows four feet
apart. 1t Is advisable. however. to
prune and train to stakes, especially
for the early crop. as plants so
treated will be healthier and more
easily cultivated, and will produce
fruit which Is earlier and more uni
form IN size and shaw than that
produced by plants which have not
been trailsd and pruned.
Soon after setting the plants in the
field stake should be driven near
each plant to which 1t may be tied.
Care should be exercised to tie the
plant so that It will not be injured
by the string. A good plan Is TO
loop the string around the stake
and tie II under leaf stem, Go
over the patch once every week or
ten days and remove all shoots
starting in the axils of the leaves.
