PLANT EARLY AND LATE CROP
Spinach IL Excellent to Open and Gloss
Seasons-seed May BE Broad
easted In September.

Spinach Is an admirable crop with
which to open and close the season
because 1t can be got out Of the way
before later started plants, such as to-
mato. pepper, egg plant, okra and
other tender subjects from hot bed or
cold frame, can be safely put out In
the open.
At the close of the season seed may
be broadcasted, during September,
among the falling tomatoes and other
vegetables just mentioned, thus en-
abling the grower to secure at least d
partial crop before winter sets In and
providing first early supply of spin

INJURY BY CRAWFISH
Considerable Amount of Damage
Done to Early Crops.
Simple Plan Followed by Mississippi
Farmer Has Proved Effective In
Controlling Pests-cropping
System is Adopted.

(By III. A. CROSBY, Plant Bureau, Unit
cd States Department of Agriculture)
m many sections of the black prairie
belt of Alabama and Mississippi there
are times when crawfish, or crayfish,
do a considerable amount of damage
to early spring planted crops, espe-
cially corn, cotton and alfalfa. A SIM
pie method Of farm practice followed
by a Mississippi farmer has proved
very effective in controlling these pests
and is worthy Of an extended trial
throughout the entire belt
This man observed that the damage
by crawfish is usually less on land
that has been in cultivated crops for
several years than on land that is
broken up and cultivated after having
been In meadow or pasture or lying
out for q number of years. The rea-
son for this Is obvious. Crawfish do
their greatest damage from early
spring to the middle Of June, and as
they destroy only the young and ten
der plants their food supply is mate
rally decreased In cultivated fields.
after the plants have reached a certain
stage Of development.
Cropping System Adopted.
These facts led this farmer to con-
clude that by adopting cropping sys-

LONDON TAPS LATEST DANCE
It's Fox Trot' and Grapevine COM
bined, With Aecentuated
Steps.
Do you dance the London Tap

Do you dance the London Taper~
You do If you are up to date.
For this is the dance of the hour.
Because of it's simplicity it is easily
mastered.
Originating In New York city, de-
spite its British name, it is simply a
variation of the familiar fox trot. re-
marks the Boston Globe. In fact. ID
Is merely q combination of the fox trot
and grapevine steps with the addition
of five taps Of the foot, which arc
made to accentuate beats Of the music.
But as the grapevine steps are trifie
intricate they are often omitted and
the London Taps" then becomes fox
trot with five taps every time the music
calls for them.
Thus 1t will be seen that the name OF
the dance Is derived from the taps In
the dance steps and not from the
fact that 1t is supposed to be danced
after taps is sounded in London.

vine the couple has faced about, the
man bringing his left foot In front Of
his right foot and the lady crossing
her right foot in front.of her left.
4. On the third step, instead Of max
ing another grapevine-as the cross
steps are called-the man extends HIS
left foot and the lady her right foot.
The movement completed, the dancers
take four walking steps IN fox-trot
time.

tionary steps or rather taps Of the feet

first tap is made with the left or right
foot.

METHODS OF PLANTING CORN
High Yields Obtained by Alternating
Early and late Maturing varl-
eties, Says Bureau.

Methods of planting corn by which
one or two rows Of an early maturing
variq1y alternate with one Or two rows
Of later maturing variety have given
higher yields than either variety plant
ed alone, according to the annual re-
port Of the bureau Of plant industry.
Where there Is likely to be q short
age Of moisture during certain periods
OF the growing season, dependence
should not be placed In single vari-
ely; under such conditions two or three
varieties which differ considerably in
length cf growing season should b
grown.
