when to Plant veE%sabae.

United States Department OF Az
riculture divide vegetables into two
classes warm temperature" and
cold temperature" vegetables. When
peach and plum trees are in blossom.
they say, 1t is time to SOW In the
open ground such seeds as lettuce,
radish. parsley. beets. turnips, cab
bage, carrots. peas, and onions. The
wrinkled peas should not be planted
until later. as they are more liable
to rot in the cool ground than are
the smooth varieties. When the ap-
pie trees bloom. II Is time to plant
the heat-loying vegetables such as
cucumbers. beans. sweet corn, pump
kin, and squash. This is an old but
excellent rule.
The uickest crop to mature is the
radish. Lettuce, turnips. peas, beets,
and beans usually require from 6
to 3 weeks. corn from IL to l3
weeks, and potatoes from 15 to l6
weeks TO mature.
Lettuce is TO the garden what the
hay crop is to the field-always
needed. and gives some OF the best
returns. Rich sandy loan. with
sufficient nitrate to stimulate leaf
growth and intensity the chlorophyll
or deep leaf color OF the plant, and
. sufficiency Of soft water keep the
crop crisp and fresh. Much the same
plan is practiced with cabbage, ex-
cept that 1t does not require 50
much water.
Beans do not require very rich
soil and 1t is safe to plant them on
the very poorest patch. Snap beans
may be grown In rows between the
orchard trees.
The lima bean requires rich,
moist soil, but does not seem to de-
priye the land Of its productiveness.
Lima beans have been grown on the
same fields in California for many
years.
Cucumbers, squashes, and melons
require rich soil, and the cucumber
profits by the application OF fresh
horse manure. Sheep manure will
hurry plants along more rapidly than
most chemical fertilizers.
The specialists believe that the
general principles they have out.
lined are followed. II will be profit
able for almost any one to plant his
idle acres this season. They point
out that even where the monetary
value of the crops raised in the back
yard garden is not important. the
gardener and his family must credi,
TO the patch the health and enjoy
ment they gain frop the out door
occupation. They point out tina,
from the community point OF view, Il
is the duty OF every home owner
to keep his place orderly and attract.
i've. The most profitable way OF
getting rid of patch OF weeds In
back yard is to cultivate It and
plant 1, TO some valuable crop. the
orderly character OF which will add
much TO the comeliness of the home
grounds.
Gardening Is an old, old story

RoosEvELrs GREAT ARMY
Over 1900 Tentative Recruits Are
Ready to Follow Coloael to
Front NJ Once

Colonel Roosevelt's military plans.
revealed in detail this week for the
first time, will surprise the general
public. including even that portion OF
II which halls the colonel as the most
strenuous and influential campaign
er OF the age. While II was sup
posed that he was raising one volun-
teer division for service on the bat
tie line in France under this COM
mand. II the war department would
grant his application. the colonel has
in reality tentatively recruited an
army approximately OF 10000 men,
exclusive OF officers, and has per-
fected arrangements SO that this en-
tire force could be mobilized in six
weeks, and It's first units started on
the way to France for extensive
training there.
This Roosevelt legion. now big
enough In numbers to form two full
army corps and extra division by way
Of good measure. is representative OF
the whole nation. Every one OF the
forty-two states has contributed vol
unteers. and not one OF these volun-
teers by reason Of age limit could
serve under the new elective draft.
Not one OF them has been drawn
from the national guard OF any
state.
All of these recruits. as the Off
cial documents show. are actuated
by two convictions-faith in the
leadership OF Colonel Roosevelt. and
faith in the colonel's theory that
they should be sent to the fighting
front at once to fill the gap until
the great army to be raised by se-
lective draft is ready.
The facts and figures OF this ten
tative army were given out at Off
cial headquarters--a room on the
fourth floor OF 753 Fifth avenue.
where Captain W. T.. Dame. former
Rough Rider. assisted by Captain
II. A. Ely, formerly OF the Forty
ninth regiment. United States volun-
teers In the Philippines. has been In
charge OF the recruiting.
The bulk of the coloneis new mar
tial following is made up of solid
men of business affairs-lawyers
bankers. brokers. college professors,
legislators. preachers, merchants and
clerks.
IL is officially declared that the
large majoritylof these men are earn
ing from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
and that their death in battle would
not entail destitution on those de-
pendent upon them.
That only men who could finan-
cially afford to die would be eligible
at the front is fixed principle of
recruiting with the colonel. He be-
lieyes that a physically sound man
In middle life can fight all right
hence his recruits range between the
ages of % and SO years-but he
wants no soldier with him on whose
earnings at home a wife and children
depend for their support
According TO the official an
nouncement. the colonel hopes that
out OF his tentative army the war
department will choose two diyis-
ions-the very cream OF the offering
for use at the French front as
soon as nnnsihle and thai ha Will
