OLewis and Mary Thesis in Pictorial
Review for march,.
Lettuce ean be sowed as early as
loose leaf kind, particularly the
prize-head. 1t is far sweeter and
more tender than head lettuce. We
plant ivefoot rows of II at ten-day
intervals. This gives succession
until hot weather. Then we plant in
damp. shaded corner. with fair
results. Ordinarily lettuce does
poorly in hot weather. excepting Cos
lettuce. In planting. cover your seed
with wet cloth or burlap. This in
sures prompt termination and pro
tects the seed from birds. Remove
burlap after plants are well up. Plant
your rows twelve TO fifteen inches
apart. The lettuce will spread over
the intervening space and render cui-
tivation unnecessary after little
time. Thus you will have all the let
tuce you can use for many weeks
with practically no labor. In late
Summer or early Fail SOW compact
bed of lettuce broadcast-say two feet
square-and when cold weather
comes build a board frame around
the bed and cover with glass or oil
ed paper. Burlap can be added for
very cold weather. Your lettuce will
begin TO grow before the snow is of
the ground. and you can eat it long
before planting time.
A very little trouble will give YOU
potatoes weeks ahead of your neigh
bors. We keep a small. shallow box
OF sand in our attic. Late in Febru.
AIRY. or early in March, We cut our
seed pieces and put them in this sand.
which is kept moist and in "A fairly
warm room, with light but not sun
shine on the box. Seed pieces should
weigh three to four ounces 10 give
heaviest yields. We select perfect.
uniform potatoes for seed, and cut
each potato into two pieces. dusting
the cut surfaces with powdered sui
fur to prevent evaporation OF mois-
ture. Put the sulfured side down.
BY planting-time our potatoes have
sturdy little root-systems developed.
They can be lifted from the sand and
set in the garden row without injury.
We plant our potatoes one foot apart
in the row. so We know exactly how
many seed pieces to cut. II you have
straw, lawn clippings. or other simi-
lar material. mulch your potatoes
thick with 1t. Your crop will be
earlier and larger than II would be

SNOWFALL OF BIG
VALUE TO RANCHERS

The snowfall of Wednesday night
and this morning will prove to be of
great value to the agricultural inter
ests of Fremont county and the Arkan
sas valley generally. The snow cover
ed the ground to a depth of about Eve
inches on the termination of the
storm this morning and contained a
lot of needed moisture.
Many acres of farm land in the
Canon City district, as well as On
Beaver Park and in the territory
about Florence, were plowed during
the month of February and its satura-
tion with water from the melting
snow will put it in fine condition for
the summers cultivation. There is
now sufficient moisture in the
ground to germinate the seeds and
encourage the planting of big acre
ages of grain of all kinds. This is
as applicable to the dry farming sec
tions as to the irrigated districts and
the soil may now be worked to excel
lent advantage in preparing it for the
SoWinS Vi 6iaiH anu 'ho Pioh'ih6
vegetables.
The snow will also be of great
benefit by affording moisture for start
ing the grass and herbage on grazing
lands. assuring early spring pastur-
age for cattle. horses and other live
stock. Dry farmers and ranchers gen
orally agree that the snowfall could
not have come at more opportune
time than the present and that the
precipitation was sufficient to meet
all of the needs of the agriculturist.
The weather bureaus forecast for
the next twenty-four hours indi-
Gates that the storm is over and that
fair weather may be expected during
the next few days.
