hundred different ways, Rowan
has been striving in an UP hill
struggle to hold a fair worthy of
the grand old county, with more
or less success. Of course mis-
takes have been made, but not of
such nature as to condemn the
whole enterprise. The exhibits
have been excellent, especially
the agricultural, and, at no time
has the price of admission been
such that patrons did not get
two or three values for their
money. It is easy to find fault
but it is quite another after to

THREE EASY PLANTS
okra, Mustard, and Spinach Re
qulre Only Slight Care.

Okra, mustard. and spinach are three
nttle-grown garden plants. but three
plants which grow rapidly and with
little care. They can be planted in the
small corners which would otherwise
be left vacant. The Times has Just re-
ceived from the Department Of Agricul-
ture instructions upon the planting and
cultivation OF these plants
The young pods Of the okra plant are
the part used. These are employed
principally in soups. to which they i'm
part a pleasant flavor and a sticky con-
sistency. The best pods are grown on
young plants. but IL the pods are re-
moved before they are allowed to fipen,
the plants will continue TO produce them
until killed by frost
Detailed information on this plant is
contained in Farmers Bulletin 232,
~Okra: Its Culture and Uses"
Mustard greens may be produced on
almost any good soil. The basal leaves
are used for greens and are cooked like
spinach. The plants require but short
time TO reach the proper stage for use
and frequent sowing should be made,
therefore.
Parsley is used chiefly TO garnish meat
dishes and to flavor soups. The seed is

cast, in the autumn or early spring.
