RADISH AND LETTUCE
Make Valuable Addition to the Small
Garden Crop.

Radish and lettuce always are favorite
plants in small and large gardens, not
because of their food value, which is
quite low, but as attractive and healthful
additions to the diet. The radish is quite
hardy and may be grown throughout the
winter in hot beds. The seed may be
sown in open ground as soon as the soil
can be made ready, and should be plant
ed in drills IL inches apart. For best
quality the radish must be grown on a
quick, rich soil, some of the earlier va
rieties growing to edible size in three to
four weeks after planting. Rapid growth
and early pulling insure solid, crisp flesh
and delicate flavor. For constant sup
ply make paintings every two weeks.
An ounce of seed is sufficient to plant 100
feet Of row. The seed usually terminates
well, and If care is taken in sowing, thin
ming will be unnecessary. If the first
plants to appear are pulled as soon as
they are of sufficient size, room will be
left for those which come later. Radish
are best grown in early summer and au-
tumn, as they are not particularly well
suited to hot weather.
Lettuce, like radish, grows best on a
rlcH SOIL, WHtft tHele Is pieHtH Oh organic
matter to insure rapid growth. 1t does
not stand hot weather well, thriving best
in spring and autumn. Lettuce and rad
ish can be grown under thin cloth shade
very satisfactorily in hot weather 1t is
well to grow both loose leaf and head
lettuce. Plant in rows IA to is inches
apart. Thin loose leaf to six inches
apart and head to IL inches, giving
plenty of space for good individual plant
development. Remove the entire plant
when large enough for use.
For an early crop it is well to start
plants in the house or hotbed and trans
plant to the garden when soil conditions
are right. Frequent shallow civilizations
will assist rapid growth.
Varieties of lettuce suitable in Yer
mont gardens are loose leaf, Grand Rap
ids and Blaek-Seeded Simpson as head
ing varieties; early. May King. later
Black Seeded Tennis Ball, California
Cream Butter and Big Boston or Deacon.
Some good varieties of summer rad
ishes are Early Scarlet or Cardinal Globe.
and White Icicle. All of the round red
varieties are good, but the long rooted
red varieties are not generally desirable.
The large turnip-rooted Chinese and Jap
anese radishes may be grown for winter
storage

PLAIN AGRICULTURAL
PREPAREDNESS IN
ALL VERMONT
Series of Meetings Has Been Planned to
Be Held in the Counties--At Mont
pelier on Tuesday, May /.

| A series of agricultural preparedness
rallies, covering nearly all the counties
of the state, has been arranged by the
extension service of the college of agri.
culture, University of Vermont, in co.
operation with the committee on food
production and conservation of the state
public safety committee of which ex-
Gov. G. w. Gates is chairman. 1t is de-
signed to emphasize the great need and
Importance of increasing food production
| in Vermont by means of better agricul-
tural methods and more intensive culti-
walton. The planting of the next few
weeks will determine in large meas
ure what the harvest of next autumn
will be- Without abundant and proper
| planting there can be no reaping. 1t is
just as essential that plenty of food
products shall be raised as it is that
soldiers shall be enlisted. These meet
ings are intended to point out clearly
the seriousness of conditions throughout
the world and to give practical informa-
ton concerning the best methods of crop
production and conservation to meet the
present crisis.

is used the amount of sodium fiuorid
may be reduced by adding four parts Of
some finely powdered material, such as
road dust or flour, to each part of the
fluorid. The dust, while not poisonous,
10 somewhat irritating to the nose and
throat. Ii allowed to remain on the skin
in any quantity for any great length of
time, 1t may cause slight local irrita-
ton. For these reasons, those busting
large number of chickens would do we'll
to cover nose and mouth with a dust
guard or damp cloth and to wash their
hands occasionally.
Dipping with Sodium Fluorid.
The dipping method is more economi-
cal but among many poultry raisers
there is general sentiment against the
practice Of dipping fowls, largely because
most OF the dips contain materials which
discolor the feathers The sodium tluorid
dip, however, is harmless and as COM
pared with busting is more easily done.
As 1t is necessary that the fowls dry
quickly dipping is most applicable in the
southern states and to summer treat
ments in the north For lice on young
chickens, young turkeys, and in fact all
newly Matched or sick fowls, the appli-
cation of sodium fluorid in the dust form
is recommended
This is the way the dip is prepared:
In tub of tepid water dissolve the
poison at the rate of three quarters to
one ounce of the commercial powder, or
two-thirds of an ounce of the chemical
ly pure material, to each gallon of wat
er. The fowls should be held by the
wings over the back with the left hand
and quickly submerged in the solution,
keeping the head out, while the feathers
are rutfied with the other hand to allow
the dip to penetrate to the skin. The
head then should be dipped once or twice
and the bird lifted and allowed TO drain
a few seconds. A fowl may be treated
in 30 to As seconds. The sodium fluorid
solution should not be allowed to remain
long in galvanized vessels as its action
on this metal is injurious. The solution
does not injure the hands unless it comes
in contact with sores, when it may cause
slight irritation.
In experiments conducted by the de-
partments specialists more than 500
fowls have been dipped at one time, us
ing on the average So ounces of sodium /
huorid to 100 birds, at a cost Of 10 cents. |
Labor is also reduced by dipping, the
cost being about 5S cents for 100 fowls.

SODIUM FLUORID
FOR CHICKEN LICE
Newly Discovered Remedy Rids Fowls
Quickly of All Such
Parasites.

One application of sodium fuorid will
kill all lice of chickens, entomoogists .of
the department of agriculture have dis
covered. This inexpensive white powder,
they find, will rid a flock of all the seven
common species of chicken lice in few
days. One pound, costing only 40 or so
cents at the time Of this writing, ia
enough to treat 100 fowls, if busted on.
Ii dissolved in water and used as a dip,
the amount amount will go three times
as far. 1t is easily applied, economical,
gives immediate results, and does not
injure the fowls or the poultryman.
The complete effectiveness OF the So
dunn fuorid remedy and methods of us
ing it are discussed in farmers bulletin
sol of the u. S. department of agricul-
ture, mites and Lice on Poultry" by
f. G. Bishopp and H. P. Wood. The bull
letin deals also with mites, the night
pests of chickens, which requires diff
ferent treatment. Lice are the biting in
sects that work by day and are serious
foe in neglected small focks on general
farms and back yards.
Sodium iuorid-say it plainly to the
druggist or you may get sodium Chord,
common salts, which it not only resem-
bles in name but in appearance-ma
be obtained at most large drug stores.
Until its recent use against cockroaches,
and still more recently against poultry,
this substance had not been employed as
an inseeticide. The demand for it, there
fore, has been quite limited, and it is
not ordinarily found in the stock of the
small drug store. Druggists, however,
can obtain it readily from manufacturing
chemists, and with demand it likely will
be carried by local dealers. The finely
powdered commercial form is cheaper and
more easily applied by the busting meth
cd than the fine, crystallized sodium fluo-
rid.
busting with Sodium Fluorid.
To apply the material in dust form,
place it in an open vessel on table and
with one hand hold thefofwl by the legs or
wings. With the other hand place small
pinches of the chemical among the feath-
ers next to the skin, according to what
is known as the pinch" method, which
proceeds as follows One pinch on the
head, one on the neck, two on the back,
one on the breast, one below the vent,
one on the tail, one on either thigh, and
one scattered on the under side of each
wing when spread. Each pinch can be
distributed by pushing the thumb and
fingers among the feathers as the mate
rial is released If the chicken is held
over the vessel, the material which falls
from the owl during the operation is
recovered.
The material also may be applied by
means OF shaker, but this method has
some disadvantages as compared with
the pinch" method When this method |
