Fine words butter no parsnips,
but fine soil makes parsnips grow
well, says today's garden lesson from
the national emergency food garden
commission, which is aiding The
News-Times in the campaign for
more gardens.
Parsnips require the whole sea-
son. Planted early in the spring.
even as late as Septemb Der they seem
TO have made disappointing
growth. However, the autumn rains
mature them rapidly. and they are
ready for use along in November.
From then until spring the parsnips
can be taken from the garden The
hard freezing of winter only inn
proves their flavor.
BE sure TO plant only fresh seed.
for parsnip seed that is two years
old is apt TO have lost its life Have
the soil deeply prepared. for if il
is hard or lumpy the roots will be-
come branchy. Sow a half ounce of
seed TO 100 feet of row, making rows
is inches apart. The two best varie-
ties To plant are Hollow Crown and
Student
Parsnip seed is slow 10 sprout,
and therefore il is well 10 mix quick
growing radish seed or cabbage seed
i'm with the parsnip seed TO break
the crust of the ground. often the
success of the crop will depend up
on breaking the soil with a rake
after the planting. especially if rains
form a dirt crust
Ii is important that the thinning
(to one plant every two or three
inches) be done while the plants are
vet small. because II is hard 10 pull
them out when they are large.
While they may be left in the
ground all winter in northern eli
mates il is better 10 harvest them
late in the fall and store them in
garden pits covered with earth
Pulling or spading them out is al
most impossible. The best gather
ing method is 20 dig trenches or
both sides of the rows and then pull
out the plants.
Roots not used by spring should
be pulled anyhow. because in the
| second season the old plants be-
come weedlike

STOPPING FOOD LEAKS.

Few people eating in a restaurant or hotel and
choosing their meal from list of possible dishes
realize what waste that list indicates The action OF
restaurant and hotel in New York brings the

are omitted and their place one hotel

ARE AMERICANS LOSING VIGOR?

There is no better authority on

say on the subject is therefore Of

Life insurance statistics support
i, these statements. also those Of the
army. An amazing proportion OF
candidates for military service show

vice last year is said 10 have ranged
from 10 TO so. A government re-
port shows that but 316 out of II 900
applicants in New York city for the
marine corps were acceptable. This
is an appalling proportion and does
not promise well for the rapid build
ias Up Of army and navy strength.
This degeneration OF the American
type. Mr.. Rittenhouse thinks. no
doubt correctly, comes largely from
the inactivity Of many classes OF
men. Americans, whether native or
