You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole

and rub II in. about a teaspoonful Is
All that Is required. It makes an

CABBAGE PLANTING
TIME IS RIGHT now
Spring Onions, Too, Can Be Put
In the Ground Amy of
These Days.
BY CARL vR0OMAN.
(Assistant Secretary of Agriculture }

(Assistant Secretary OF Agrfculfure.)
Cabbage plants should be purchased
about the middle of April. They
should be set two feet apart IL Of the
small variety. Tobacco dust should
be sprinkled over them as soon as set
to keep off the cabbage louise. The
plants should be set deep. In July or
August the plants can be set for the
winter supply.
The amateur probably will find the
bush lima bean the best The ground
should be well warmed for these.
They should be sown in rows two feet
and a half apart and. four inches
apart in the row.
Spring onions are desirable, and a
start can be made with these as soon
as the ground is ready. Plant a third
once a week for three weeks about
one-half inch deep. The rows should
be a foot apart Thin to four inches
apart in the rows when the plants are
four inches high. Pull the onions In
the fail when the tops begin to fall
over and leave them on the ground Tn-
til thoroughly dry, then store them In
cool place.
April lettuce may be sown early in
the open ground. Do not cover them
more than a quarter of an inch. The
solid head varieties may 'be sown
early in May. When three inches
high thin out to four inches apart In
the row. For the tabe cut out every
other plant.
Most exacting of all plants Is the
tomato. The plants should be trans
planted to the garden about May 20
to June /. Set the plants In rows
eighteen inches apart Plant them
twenty inches apart in the rows. As
1t grows all side branches should be
removed and the main stem tied to q
stake.
