Vegetable Notes.

Repeated planting of lettuce and
radishes should be made every ten
days, so ss to have a continuous
supply.
Try the Iceberg lettuce. 1t is
crisp, tender and makes large, firm
heads, and is slow to run to seed in
hot weather; in fact; we consider it
the best variety for early summer.
Squash, cucumbers and canta-
loupes may also now be planted in
South Carolina; also farther north if
you are provided with plant pro-
tectors to cover them on culd nights
when there is danger of frost.
Early corn for roasting ears may
now be planted in the latitude of
Middle Georgia, using the more
hardy varieties. Sweet corn should
not be planted, however, until the
land is warm and danger of frost is
past.

eggplant is very tender and will not
stand cold weather. Near Atlanta
we wait until May l before setting

Bell peppers are almost as tender

the people of the United States for
their present and future services. They
told of the over-running of their coun-

size of exports of the world, they were
reduced to a nation destitute and
starving and have left of their original
country a strip smaller than Delta

occasions, each case being due to
waiting for connection at Delta. The
Railroad company has been making
these reports since the Public Utili-
ties Commission began investigating
into the service on the North Fork
branch more than two months ago.
F. Easley, General Manager of
the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
company, has advised the Commission
that he is keeping in close touch with
the situation. After this matter had
been taken up with the railroad COM
pany by the Public Utilities Commits
sion, an agreement was reached
whereby the two trains mentioned
would handle only enough empty cars
between Delta and Somerset to start
the mines in the morning, and pro-
vide further that the trains should
not be required to pick up or set out
cars to the extent of interfering with
the running schedule.

present one has been called and leave
us again without protection. The cost
would be about the same in either
case.
The governor announced in his ad-
dress before the assembly that
s2,500.0o0 would probably be needed
to pay the expenses already incurred
and to be incurred for the mobilizing
and preparing of our state militia and
for the expenses of the police force to
be formed in the state. There is a
question under consideration now as
to who should handle this money and
see that it is properly expended. 1t

of bonds with a small general tax.

already been put in covering these
questions but SO far no definite action
