The cultivation of cauli1ower is
so precarious that it is not recon-
mended for the garden beginner un-
less he lives in a climate which is
humid and cool in summer says to-
days bulletin from the national
emergency food garden commission
of Washington. d. c.. cooperating
with The News-Ti-les TO induce gen
eral planting oil ood gardens this
year.
Caulifiower does best in cool dis
tricts near large bodies Of water. II
is successfully grown on eastern
Long Island and in the interior dis
tricts Of Wisconsin and northern
Michigan. The plants are easily
stunted by hot. dry weather, and
the heads will not mature properly
if the weather is too warm.
The seed is quite expensive. The
plant demands plenty Of water-it
/ is even sometimes advisable TO irri-
gate by allowing water to flow be-
tween the rows. The plants, too, take
up much room in the garden. They
1 ought TO set from IA TO is inches
apart
Early caulifiower seeds should be
sown in hotbeds or indoor seed box
es and the plants set out in the gar
den as soon as the soil is warm.
/ Care must be taken TO harden off
the seedlings by getting them accus-
toned TO outdoor life before trans
| planting them. For late caulifiower
the seeds may be sown in the beds
between the dates Of June 20 and
July II. but in hot climates these
/ plants are likely 20 fail. Besides
plenty Of water they need constant
and thorough cultivation with hoe
and rake.
When the heads begin TO thicken.
the outer leaves should be drawn
over the centers and tied. TO ex-
cIude the sunlight from the core.
Care should be taken that the heads
are dry when this is done, otherwise
they are likely TO rot. Also plenty of
room should be left for the head to
expand.
Harvest the cauliflower before the
/ head begins to break up into sep>
arate clusters. This will be in II TO
l 3 weeks after planting. The cOndi-
| ton of the head can be seen by

side Of the plant and looking in.

DIP XATE ~. BALDWIN

1t is not entirely a false hope. in
my opinion. that with the advent Of
the practise of birth control the bet
ter and stronger children OF the fu-
ture will prove that a knowledge of
contraceptives would do away with
certain sins against the human race
Injurious practises-and remove
the stigma from many thousands
every year.
From an ethical and economic
point of view. all parents must learn
10 consider themselves responsible
for the lives they produce. Those
who are incapable OF such respon-
sibiiity must be classed with the
unfit and cared for with them.
America is the only civilized ma
ton in which it Is a crime 10 give
information on the subject OF birth
control The statutes place in the
same sentence abortive and proven
tive measures. and mete out 10 both
the same punishment.

PRICE-FIXlNG AND FARMERS.

There has been general impression that the farmers
were fatty opposed to governmental price-hxing for
foodstuns would limit their profits. GOV.
Frazier OF North Dakota believes this impression
lie doesn't think the farmers of his state would
object the establishment of minimum prices for
their products.
We have had prices for years 10y the gamblers
i'm the markets" he says. there why
they should be by congress"
This is Illuminating view OF the matter With
the government fixing prices the farmer might not
make quite much profit particular crop
but neither would he lose money his The
gamblers have occasionally benefited the farmer and
often ruined him. They have worked only for their
own pockets. Uncle sam would he considerable and
fair. With unearned profit COINS anybody the
farmers might get for their products while the
consumers paid less
This sounds like to the Chicago board OF
trade but there good many people in the United
States who believe that that body together with the
Esin board and an other groups private citizens
who presume fix food prices the nation should
abdicate in favor Of the government.
