acres in bearing, with $4,000 soon to
come into bearing, while Oregon has l5,-
600 acres in bearing with another $4,000
to soon commence bearing fruit. Owing
to the scarcity of labor in Idaho, where
there are many large prune orchards,
those growers are beginning to erect
driers, and next year they will be a
factor in the prune industry, as they
have the advantages of freight rates

their prunes in the fresh state, but last

The following vegetables. the special
lists say, will undoubtedly be planted
in larger amounts than those just men
toned, and the amounts OF seed given
will be a guide for ordinary require
ments. Some families may need more
of the various vegetables and others
win need less.

Tomatoes, late ] 4 ounce; tnrnips IA
pound; watermelon ! ounce.
The string beans, bush lima beans,
sweet corn, lettuce, peas and radishes,
win not all be planted at one time, but
successive paintings two or three weeks
apart win be made so as TO have a
fresh supply throughout the season.
OF early Irish potatoes l peek 10 l-2
bushel win be required, and of late po-
tatoes 1-2 bushel to bushel, or more,
depending upon the amount of ground
available for this purpose. If possible,
enough Irish potatoes should be grown
to last throughout the winter.
In the event that the family wishes to
raise vegetables to supply current needs
and also supply a surplus for canning,
the amounts indicated above should be
considerably increased.

How Much Vegetable Seed to Plant fol
Family Of Feur.

Washington, ID. c., March 24.-Vege-
table seed for planting should be order.
ed at once so as to be on.hand as soon
as the weather and condition of the
soil make planting possible. Before
ordering seed the home gardener would
do well TO look over his garden plot, de
eide on the best location for each vege
table, and determine how much seed he
will require for the space available for
each veriety.
He win find it helpful to make a
rough plan OF his garden on a large
sheet of wrapping paper. On this plan
he can indicate thn space to be used for
each variety and also by means of col.
ored pencils or symbols show where q
second crop is to be planted or inter
planted between growing rows, and al
so arrange for second and third crops
which are TO follow those previously
harvested. Such plan will enable him
to keep the garden busy all season sup.
plying fresh vegetables during the sum
mer and producing in the late fall root
and other crops for winter use. Once
the heavy preliminary spading and
working of the garden has been done,
it is about as easy to raise two or three
crops as to keep the garden clean of
weeds to produce only one picking. The
specialists advise those who are not
used to gardening or wish to have their
children take an interest in the garden
to hire laborer to do the heavy pre-
liminary spading or breaking up of the
soil. This heavy work frequently dis
gusts novices and children who would
continue to take an interest in the gar
den if their task was simply to fine and
cultivate soil already broken up.
Seed for Family of -Four.
The following amounts of seed the
garden specialists of the U. S. Depart
nent of Agriculture say are needed to
plant approximately 100 fet of row, or
enough to supply vegetables for a fam
iy of four:
Beans, snap, pint; beans, pole lima,
IL pint; Beans, bush lima 1-2 to / pint

According to the March l6. 1917 re-
port of Superintendent Todd. there are
1890 pupils attending the public schools
in Salem. One year ago the superin-
tendent's report showed an attendance
OF 1927. This figures out that the at
tendance in the schools for March Of
this year is thirty-seven less than one
year ago. But while there is a slight
loss for the year, the present attendance
is 224 larger than shown by the Janu.
airy 10 report of this year.
Between the ages of six and nine the
boys are in the majority, the figures
showing 500 boys and 334 girls. But
in the next classification. between the
ages Of nine and twe,ve, the girls have
caught up and are in the majority, with
373 boys and 3Sl girls The boys are
holding their proportion pretty well in
the class between twelve and fourteen
years, with 200 boys and 235 girls.
But after the age of fourteen the
boys begin to drop out, but nothing in
proportion to what they did few years
ago Between these ages, there are $40
boys and COS girls In the high school,
over the age of twenty, the boys mum.
Der "A and the girls 10.
The percentage of attendance FOR the
month ending March l6, 1917, was "a. 4.
