SOON Time TO PLANT
LATE SUMMER CROPS
SOya Beans and Blackeyed Peas
viii Prove Profitable.

The time for spring planting IS
rapidly passing. according to II. N.
Connolly, Department OF Agriculture
demonstration agent for the District.
II il now time to think OF early sum-
mer planting.
Late potatoes and late cabbage.
beets, carrots. and rutabagas can all
be planted the latter part OF June or
the FIRST Of July to make crops for
storing or canning" said Mr.. Connolly.
''Turnips may be planted a. late as
August with good results. Late to-
mato plants may be set out as late
as July 1. The plants for late toma-
toes and cabbage may be raised by
sowing the seed in an open frame bed
about the middle OF May.
Good Time for Tomatoes
att is now a good time for setting
early tomato plants. They should be
set as deep as the upper branches OF
the plant. Paper should be placed
around the plant after setting, as a
protection from cutworms.
"a number OF people are anxious to
set out peppers and eggplant now, but
this is not advisable. Two weeks
from now will be a better time. Lima
beans should not be planted for an
other week.

some conditions. but on limited

ALAS FOR POWDER PUFFS
Girl Rockies Start New Course at

Three hundred girls scrambled into
800 khaki uniforms, 900 girls reached
for 800 powder puffs. and 900 girls
remembered suddenly that this was no
place for a powder pun, that they
were in a military camp.
For this morning was the begin
ming Of the new encampment, the
second one, of the National Service
School, at Conduit and Little Falls
roads. The girls were arriving all
day yesterday, and camp regulations
went into effect at 8 o'clock yester-
day evening. But this morning was
the first time they ever experienced
the sensation Of reveills, and they are
still talking about II.
The youthful rockies, following q
hearty breakfast, were marched in
company formation to the drill field,
and once again the tired marines are

Major Tulasne and Lieutenant de
Ia Grange, two French army aviators.
are expected to arrive in Washington
before the end of this week to partIc-
ipate in a series OF conferences with
officers OF the Signal Corps, u. s. A.

French aviatorE.
The French officers will spend sew
