BEAUTY OF THE HYDRANGEA
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Inquiries have come in about good
fall Towering shrubs. It is likely II
a vote were taken for the best late
Towering, hardy shrub the honor
would fall to the Hydrangea.
While there are shrubs that | like
better, this one seems to suit the
masses, II has the merit OF extreme
hardness, easy culture, great fiorifer-
BUSINESS, late blooming and persistent.
Its flowers lose their early white
ness as the season advances, but in
their pinky-brown stage they are not
without attractiyeness. and even after
snow comes they afford pleasing eff.
fects when seen against background
of pure white.
In planting the Hydrangea ] would
never advise using II singly. 1t is
vastly more effective when grouped.
By this means we secure for II a
strength and dignity which single
specimens never have.
The enormous heads OF the bloom
have considerable weight, but they
are all the more attractive when they
cause the branches to take on a
graceful curve.

IMPOSING ON COUNTRY YOUTH
Old.Fashioned. One.Teacht.. School,
With Studies Not Adapted to
Rural Life, Is Fraud.

A little. illequipped one-teacher
country school is much better than no
school at all but 1t remains today in

would have as pleasure vehicle.

teacher country schools. with course
of studies not at all related to coun.
try life. In rural district where many
farmers own automobiles is a scan-
dalous fraud on country youth.

graded. well-housed. well-equipped,
with adequately paid teachers and a
course Of study knit up with country
life, is the farmers best asset.-Sat.

the third year.
II these are transplanted to the veg.
etable garden. which is. or should be
protected from the poultry and ami.
mails, and allowed to grow undisturbed
for the first season, much will be
gained. They can then be set where
they are to remain. either next fall or
the coming spring. early enough to
get a good start In growth, before hot,
dry weather comes.
For those who have nothing started
and little money to buy with, the col
lections' sent out by florists are full
OF promise. Many OF our best seed
men advertise this collection at a very
low cost to the customer, as trial Or
ders, hoping to keep the customer by
sending out good seeds and plants.
See that you get the trial collection
OF a reliable firm; otherwise IL is
money thrown away.
Study the catalogues, especially the
directions for preparing soil and plant
ing seeds. A good floral magazine is
worth taking and they come now at a
very low cost.
When your plants come up, refer to
the description and magazine and give
them the botanical name: 1t is Just as

STUDY THE CATALOGUES
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

When looking over the catalogues
which come to us for the asking we
are often delighted into covetousness
by the description of shrubs, vines and
perennials. but the price asked, al
though merely nominal, place the for
lists plants beyond our reach.
In that case, we have but to give a
little time and patience to sowing
seeds and caring for the delicate
plants In order to have our longings
gratihed The first thing to do is to
send our order to reliable firm. The
next is to give intelligent care to their
planting and growing.
Seeds OF most of the desirable or
namental vines, shrubs, biennials and
perennials germinate readily, while
others are slow in sprouting, but II
planted In good soil and allowed time
the reward is sure
We should inform ourselves on these
subjects as much as possible before
undertaking the work.
During February and March is usu-
ally the time selected for getting our
window boxes in shape, and In these
boxes may be planted the seeds, to-
gether with many bulhous and tuber-
GUS rooted varieties OF plants. The
seeds may be had in mixed packages
for ten cents each, or single.
DO not overlook the orchid when
planning next years flowers.
These seeds may be purchased by
one person. the plants raised to trans
planting size and sold for few cents
each to others, thus covering cost OF
seeds and care, or several may throw
In and divide the seeds when they
come.
The former plan may be the more
economical. as not everyone makes a
success of growing plants from seeds.
1t Is not always well to buy your
seeds Of your country merchant; your
merchant may be honest. but his mer.
chant may not be. Send to a reliable
firm, send early and get what you pay
for Do not confine yourself to an.
nuals, but sow the perennial seeds
and after the first year you will have
little trouble.
Nothing adds to the attractiyeness
OF a home place more than thrifty
vines, and for most places, perennial
vines are best, For temporary screens,
annual vines will do. Seeds should
be started indoors early and trans
planted frequently in order to make
the plants stalky, and as soon as the
ground gets warm they may be set out
where they are to remain.
Many OF these will grow but little
at the top for the first year. but will
be making root growth and be getting
ready to make to progress afterwards.
Some OF the shrubs and perennials.
and even the biennials may give a
scant bloom the first year. and some

FAIR PROFIT FOR PRODUCER
No Easy Task to Successfully oroani..
and Manage Selling Associa-
tons Among Farmers.

Organized marketing must take the
place Of unwise and suicidal competi-
tive individual selling on congested
local markets before we can reason
ably hope to obtain a fair share OF the
wealth which we are creating on our
farms II is folly to contend that CO.
operative marketing is impracticable
In the face OF the many living exam
pies in localities where marketing as
sociations are doubling the profits of
cooperative members 1t is true that
It is no easy task to successfully Or
ganize and manage selling associa,
tion. but the very fact that 1t requires
patient and persistent effort makes 1t
all the more profitable for those who
stay by 1t during the formative and
experimental period OF Its existence.
In this connection, let US again
sound warning against big schemes
OF cooperation in which II is proposed
to include every farmer In the whole
neighborhood or county, Successful CO.
operation never begins that way.
Building the cooperative structure on
the presumption or theory that 500
farmers, even 100 farmers, are surely
going to fall right in line as loyal CO.
operators Is like counting chickens
before they are Matched. II is this
unwise presumption that dooms many
cooperative ventures to disappoint-
ment and failure.
The best cooperative marketing as
sociltions have started With small
groups OF men and have gradually en-
larged the felt of operation as the
men in charge acquired experience and
became worthy OF confidence. In view
OF this condition why lose time dream.
ing Of some pig cooperative scheme
II you can't cooperate first with a
small group of farmers In your own
neighborhood with whom you are per.
sonally acquainted. how can you ex-
pect to coop rate, In big scheme,

FARMERS INCOME FOR WORK
Question a. to Whether Advantages
Of Tenancy and Ownership Can Be
Combined 10 Discussed.

Most people In this country believe
that the tenant is a menace and that
the owner is more desirable because
he maintains soil fertility by live
stock farming and other good systems
and manifests more public spirit.
Others believe that with a system Of
long leases. such as prevail in Eng.
land. the tenant would be able to con.
duct his operations with q much
smaller investment. and without many
Of the Objectionable features Of ten
ancy as II now exists In this country.
We will have to readjust our ideas
somewhat radically to reach the pres
ent English condition. but many of
the advantages OF ownership and ten
ancy can perhaps be combined with
out any revolution in our present
ideas. according to O, R. Johnson Of
the farm management department Of
the University OF Missouri
In a survey Of the western part of
johnson county the department found
that the size OF a farm business has a
close relation to the income which
the farmer receives for his work and
that small owners may often enlarge
their operations by renting additional
land. This part owner stands with
the owner in the social matters. both
from the standpoint of the individual
and that OF the community which he
is helping to improve. In fact. in the
region surveyed. he spent even more
for his family living than the man who
was renting no land. This includes
what he grew on the farm, and he was
much more nearly self-sustaining be-
cause he produced a greater portion
of his living on the farm and bought
less Of 1t at stores. The interest
cnargeable on his total investment
was less than two-thirds as great as
In the case OF the owner, for the total
investments were 1888 and sl2.555
respectively. 1t must be remembered
that even after renting some land
from others, these part owners had
only about seven and one-half acres
more land apiece than the owners, and
ten acres more than the tenants with
whom they are compared. The actual
figures were 1886, 1856 and 1895 acres
respectively
To a considerable extent the matter
may be summed up by saying that the
owner made labor income of $3l4 a
year on 1876 acres, the part owner $456
on 1876 acres, and the tenant s531 on
1885, but many people would be will
ing to pay the additional s45 year
for the advantage OF knowing that 1t
would not be necessary to move In q
year or two, make new friends and
establish system on new farm. The
difference between labor income the
part owners have and tenants have Is
more than counterbalanced by the
higher standard of living of the part
owner. who spent s64 year more on
family living. The average owner In
that region probably does not realize
that his labor income is as far below
that OF the tenant or part owner as
Mr. Johnson's figures show. He does
not realize that SO great portion OF
what he regards as income is not in
come from his labor, but from the
money investment which his land rep
resents.
