specialists of the Z. s. Department of

be grown in ground occupied by early
maturing crops, such as peas, kale,

ample time for sweet potatoes t.

lble crop to grow for winter use.
3eets, squash, and cucunbcrs may be
planted now with good chances OF

Sweet potatoes: 1t is desirable to

About seventy-fve plants will be re-

Beets: Beets may be planted az

ender beets make fine greens and
every gardener should make an i'm,
mediate planting so there will be an
ample supply. Sow in rows Is to
IS inches apart for hand cultivation
or 2 to 2 IL feet apart for horse
cultivation. The plants should be
hinned to to 5 inches apart in the

Squash: The bush varieties should
be planted in hills four feet apart

8 to 10 feet apart each way.
Elephants: Set the plants IS to "a

and supreme test before the highest
court in the two greatest Of modern

These two cases are to be argued

Involved in the present issue also
is the policy of the courts in dealing
