MORE VEGETABLES IN FAVOR
rresn Garden Truck Should Form Part
OF Everyonc's oiet-Reduce High
A. Cost Of Living.

<By w. r. EDMUNDSON, Idaho Expert
ment Station.)
Fresh garden vegetables should fur
nish q large part of everyone's diet,
and If produced at home are not ex-
pensive. Abundantly used in the diet,
they will aid in forming a balanced ra-
ton and will greatly assist in reduc-
ing the high cost OF living. While we
are planting the gardens this year ey-
eryone should make a special effort to
grow special vegetables for winter use.
No less than 80 distinct kinds Of vege-
tables can be preserved for winter use
by proper methods Of storing, canning
and picking. The Vegetables most
commonly canned are tomatoes, corn,
peas and string beans. Those most
commonly preserved by picking are
cauliflower, cucumbers, green peppers
and green tomatoes. There are many
vegetables that Kay be kept in the
fresh state by proper storage meth
DDS. This list includes potatoes, beets,
carrots, turnips, parsnips, winter rad
ishes, %rutabagas, cabbage, kolhrabi,
celery, onions, pumpkins and s9uashes.
Since most vegetables usually keep
best If put into storage comparatively
late, 1t should be the aim of the gar
dener to mature the vegetables for
winter use late in the season. If plant
ed too early many crops will become
tough, woody and pithy before the sea-
son for storage arrives.

INSECT INJURIES TO CROPS
Great Part Of Annual Loss Can Be Pre-.
vented by Vigilance and Action
on Part Of Growers.

Be on the Job against insect pests
this season. Make your food contribu-
ton to the human family. not the in
sect family. Farmers who provide
themselves with insect poisons and
then keep q vigil for the first out
breaks Of crop enemies will bring
through the largest yields. Failure to
detect ar outbreak at its beginning
and delay in getting combative mate
rial may be fatal to the crop attacked,
warn entomologists in the United
States department of agriculture.
That great part Of the annual loss
to grain crops due to insect injuries
can be avoided by vigilance and vigor-
Gus action on the part Of growers is
not sufficiently realized, the entomolo-
gists say. Frequently insect out
breaks originate within q limited area,
and when this is the case it is often
quite possible to stamp them out be-
fore any great damage has been done.
If the outbreak is general, then COM
munity action is essential to prevent
the infestation from becoming wide.

TEST TERMINATION OF SEED
Varieties Best Adapted to Local Con-
ditions Should Be Used-Plant
for Full Stand.

No n should run the risk of crop
failure for using poor seed. This Is
especially true at this time when all
possible agricultural produce is need
ed. Seed Of the varieties best adapt
ed to local conditions should be used
as far as available. Particular care
should be taken that all seed is planted
at such a rate as to insure a full stand
in the field under normal weather
conditions. Wherever possible, SOW
only seed which terminates we'll. It
often happens, however, that the avail
able supplies do not terminate well.
All seed, therefore. should be tested
for termination before sowing and the
rate of sowing of any that does not
terminate we'll should be increased suf-
ficiently to insure the use Of a proper
amount Of live seed.

IDEA JUST SUITED DR.. HALE
Famous Minister Declares That He
Had Always Wanted His Church
Called "The Exeter Club"

The sexton Of Edward Everett Hale's
church suffered from that convenient
form of deafness that prevented a
man from hearing what he does not
wish to hear and enables him to hear
what he does wish to hear. Occa-
sionally, when sweeping the sidewalk
In front of the church, some stranger
would ask him for information, and
his usual answer was a wave Of the
hand. I'm totally deaf, totally deaf.
You will have to ask someone In the
church,"
1t often happened that Doctor Hale,
In the midst of Il busy day, would find
the luncheon hour at hand and an
important appointment still unmet.
1t was his custom to invite his caller
into his study and ask the janitress
to make an oyster stew. The sexton
resented Doctor Hale's informality.
The time came for Il new sign to be
placed on the front Of the church. and
Doctor Hale and the assistant pastor
Were standing il the vestry aisle dis
cuSSing just what the wording Of ii
should be. To their surprise the con-
versation WAS suddenly interrupted by
the deaf sexton. who stood far enough
away to make doubtful the ability of

SOIL FOR LIMA BEANS
One OF Most Desirable Products
Of Any Family Garden.
General Rules for Care Of Garden
Crops Should Be Adhered 70 In
Cultivation - Plant Thrives
When Land 10 Rich.

Beans thrive best in a rather warm
sandy loan, but may be grown on al
most any kind Of soil. For the best
results the soil should not be too rich
IN heterogeneous matter, or the plants
will run to foliage and stems at the
expense Of the crop Of pods. Heavy
clay soils are not well adapted to bean
culture, owing to the tendency Of the
soil to bake and prevent the seedlings
from coming up evenly. The bean
does not draw heavily upon the soil
and is suitable for rotation with other
garden CROPS. .4
In the cultivation Of beans, the gen.
sral rules for the carr of garden crops
should be adhered to, and frequent
shallow stirring of the soil practiced.
For a constant supply OF bunch OF
snap beans successive paintings should
De made, the final planting being made
about eight weeks before time for
frost in the autumn. In the South,
paintings should be made as soon as
the ground begins to warm, and con-
tinue until hot weather sets in. To-
ward the end Of summer one or two
paintings should be made for a fall
crop.
The lima bean, both pole and bush,
forms n of the most desirable prod
ucts Of the garden. This crop thrives
best when the soil is quite rich; in
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1917-07-27

fact, good lima beans cannot be grown
in poor soil. Place the seed in hills,
s or 10 to the hill. and after the plants
become established thin to 4 or 5. The
hills should be 4 or 5 feet apart for
the pole varieties and , or 8 feet apart
for the dwarf or bunch varieties. 1t
is a good plan to make up the hill
with a little additional manure well
mixed with the soil. Cover the beans
about IL inches, placing them with
the eye downward.
When planting beans Of any kind,
the seed should o be covered to a
greater depth than 2 inches when the
soil is moderately dry, and If the soil
is wet, the covering should be very
slight.

Poultry Fiocks Smaller,
