Mrs. Elizabeth Shaw.

Somerville was shocked Tuesday
when word was spread that Mrs.
Elizabeth Shaw, wife of John w. Shaw,
had died suddenly and Unexpectedly at
her home on South Main street. Mrs.
Shaw was apparently as we'll as usual
when she fell and in few minutes life
was extinct. Physicians were summoned
and were there in a few minutes but
there was no spark of life in their
patient when they arrived.
Deceased was born in Somerville
was reared and educated here and with
the exception of about year in Mem
phs few years ago she has made Som
erville her home all her life of about 68
years. She was the youngest daugh-
ter of the late DR.. Higgason, a
prominent physician and one of this
county's most prominent and wealthy
citizens. She was married to j. w. Shaw
forty eight years ago and has living at
the present time her husband and
the following children, Mrs. j. D. Bark
dull of Memphis. Mrs. W. P. Claxton
of this city. and j. W. Shaw Jr. of
Memphis, together with a number of
grand children and otherrelatives here.
Early in life she became member of
the Presbyterian church at this place
and continued to the hour of her taking
off one of its most earnest and Jealous
members.
Deceased had one of the hsppiest and
sweetest dispositions that it has been
the pleasure of the writer to meet,
thinking always Of the pleasure and
happiness cf those about her, her family
and friends. Few who have ever lived
in this city have contributed more to
the pleasure of the people of this COM
munity than has the subject of this
sketch, aud few will be more missed
from the counsils of its every day life
and affairs. Her home has ever been
open to Somerville for the pleasure of
its young people, and among young and
old alike there was ever an abiding
faith in having in her staunch friend
who would share with them in their
sorrows and their pleasures, grieving
with them in the former and rejoicing
with them in the latter.
She was the last of the five sisters in
her family, Mrs. Harris, Mrs, Dortch,
and Mrs. Scruggs, three Of the others,
having preceded her but few years.
The funeral services were conducted
Wednesday afternoon at six o'clock by
her pastor. Rev. c. A. Harper, at her
lifetime home on South Main street,
and interment was in the Somervlle
cemeterey as the twilight shades crept
over the earth, and the mound of earth
that marks her last resting place
was covered with a wealth of floral
designs by loving and admiring friends.

many instances proven fatal before
medicine could be procured or physician
summoned. The right way is to keep

CAULIFLOWER.

The cauliflower requires rich.
moist soil, and thrives best under irri-
CATION. 1t will not withstand as much
frost as cabbage, but is very sensitive
to hot weather. To make n success Of
the crop 1t Is best to plant 1t about
the time of the last killing frost in
spring, using plants grown in the hot
bed or window box. This gives 1t time
to mature before hot weather comes.
The rows need not be more than 2h
to feet apart for horse cultivation,
or "a to 80 inches apart for hand work.
The plants should be from IA to 13
inches apart in rows. The culture is
the same as for cabbage until the
heads begin to develop, after which
the leaves may be tied together over
the heads to exclude the light and
keep heads white.
This crop is one of the aristocrats
of the garden. If you succeed in grow
ing high-grade cauliflower you will
qualify as good gardener:

kALE.

Kale is closely related to and pos
sesses many of the characteristics of
cabbage. 1t is very hardy and may be
planted in the autumn in the entire
southern portion of the United States.
1t will thrive on any good soil and
responds readily to liberal applica-
tions of stable manure.
Kale may be sown in drills or In
some cases may be sown broadcast.
When sown In drills a quarter ounce
of seed Is sufficient for 10O-foot
row. Kale may be sown as soon as
the ground is In condition to work.
Successive paintings may be made at
intervals through the summer, but
pickings can be made from the first
planting during the entire season.
When planted in drills the plants may
be thinned as soon as large enough,
using the ones removed for greens.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-03-23
SPINACH.

Spinach thrives In rather cool cli-
mate and attains Its best development
In the middle South where 1t can be
grown In the open ground during the
winter. Farther north 1t is necessary
to protect the plants during the win
ter with a mulch of straw or leaves.
To produce good spinach rich loan
which will give the plants n quick
growth is required. Fall planting Is
to be recommended wherever this Is
possible, as the fall-planted spinach Is
not as much inclined to go to seed as
that planted in the spring. One ounce
of seed is sufficient for a 100-foot row,
and this crop may be sown in drills
about l foot apart.
Spinach is an easily grown garden
crop, and there is perhaps no other of
Its kind that will give as good salts
faction. In gathering spinach the en-
tire plant is removed rather than mere
ly cutting Off the leaves. The larger
plants are selected first. and the
smaller ones are thus given chance
to develop.

Distribute Hand Labor.

1t is, of course, possible to do the
work just as well by hand, but con-
siderable amount of labor is involved.
For small areas, however, this meth
cd is the only practical one. When
the garden Is to be worked by hand 1t
is especially desirable that the spadlng
be done as early as possible, as the
sooner 1t is done the easier it will be
to get the ground in condition. The
ground should be worked down only
as needed, as this will distribute the
labor; and as the rough ground will
dry off quicker than that smoothed
down, 1t is possible to get on the
ground sooner If left in the rough than
when well worked down. 1t Is ex-
tremely desirable to get such crops
as early peas, early potatoes, and early
cabbage plants In as soon as the
ground is dry enough, and 1t is often
possible to get these crops planted
week or two earlier by following this
plan.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-03-23
WATER M ELONS.

The watermelon requires consider
able room, and unless there is an
abundance of space available it should
not be planted in the garden.
1t is a heat-lovlng plant and the
seeds should not be planted in the
open until the ground is warm. This
will be about one month after the last
hard frost. They do best in sandy
soil, and require plenty of well-rotted
manure for their best development.
The usual method is to plant them in
hills made up with plenty of well
rotted manure, about 10 feet apart
each way. Some eight or ten seeds
should be placed in each hill, and when
the plants are well established they
should be thinned to four plants in a
hill. For full directions as to the con-
troll of insects and diseases affecting
the watermelon, see Farmers Bulletin
S56, entitled Control of Disease and
Insect Enemies of the Home Vegetable

A goal has been set for the 1918
home Gamers. The stupendous size
of 1t might make 1t appear impossible
of attainment we're 1t not for the fact
that the American family's ability to
can, In a patriotic situation, has been
demonstrated. The great canning ef-
fort for the year 1917 has been esti-
mated at S5O,O0O,OO0 packs by officials
of the United States department of
agriculture. But there are still thou
sands of untitled jars in every town

lists say, in setting the new goal and
advising early preparations for the
1918 campaign. If slogan is needed,
"Fill every jar in every home, keep
every jar busy throughout the year"
is suggested.
Pack for Last Year.
The method of arriving at the esti-
mated countrywide pack for last year
is interesting. Eight of the principal
concerns In the United States manu-
featuring rubber jar rings reported n
production for use in home canning
of 1886, ,761, ,24S rubber rings. Retailers
and jobbers, 1t is understood. carried
over from the year 1916 large supply
of rubber jar rings. Taking into ac-
count the special caps that were sold
and the use of jar rings n second time,
the officials believe 1t is safe to esti
mate the number of packs made in
homes last year at S50,000000.
Quart Jar for Canning.
Canning in most homes is done In.
quart jars. 1t is reasonable to assume
that the two-qunrt packs may be used
to offset the pint packs, specialists.
say, and that therefore the total pack
estimated might safely be expressed in
quarts. Placing a general average
value of 20 rents quart upon this
product, the estimated value of her
metically sealed food canned in homes
is $170,000.000. In most cases this

ONIONS.

Onions can be produced on almost
any good garden soil, and constitute
one of the standard crops found in al
the home garden is to plant sets in
rows far enough apart to suit the meth
cd of cultivation to be followed. The
sets need not be more than 2 or 3
inches apart in the rows.
Onion sets may be planted as soon
as the ground can be worked and be-
fore frosts are over. Some kinds may
be planted In the autumn. The potato
or multiplier onion can be planted from
sets in the autumn and will produce
excellent early green onions.
Onions may be grown from seed Ell
ther by starting the seed in the hotbed
and transplanting to the open ground
or by drilling In rows directly In the
garden. With good soil and proper
care 1t is possible to produce good
sized bulbs from seed In n single sea-
son.
Onions require frequent shallow cul-
tivatiOn, and it may be necessary to re-
sort to hand work in order to keep
the crop free from weeds.
If it Is desired to use the onions as
green or bunch onions they may be
pulled at any time after they are large
enough, otherwise they should be al
lowed to grow until they reach matur-
ity. If the onions start to throw up
seed stalks these should be removed,
or the seed will be formed at the ex-
pense of the bulbs

" GARDEN PEAS. Id

early peas require n rather rich
'nndy loan with good drainage in or
der that the first paintings may be
made early In the spring. Fertilizers
that are high In nitrogenous matter
should not be applied to the land i'm
medlately before planting as they will
have tendency to produce too great
growth of vines at the expense of
pods. Land that has been manured
the previous year will be found salts
factory without additional fertilizer.
While the sandy loan is to be pre-
ferred for early varieties, n good crop
con be produced on almost any good
soil.
The first paintings should be of such
varieties as Alaska, or some OF Its
notifications, which make n small but
quick growth and may or may not be
provided with supports. These should
be planted about two weeks before the
date of the last killing frost, or in fact
may be planted es soon as the ground
is in condition. fhe tall-growing sorts
Of the Telephone type are desirable
for still later use, on account of their
Peas should lie drilled in rows, one
to two pints be{ng sufficient for 100
foot row. The individual peas should
be placed about l inch apart in the
rows. The distance between rows Will
depend upon the kind of cultivation
to be employed, and upon the varieties
used. The dwarf varieties need not be
any farther apart than necessary to
insure cultivation, while the tall-grow-
ing sorts should not be planted closer
thanS to 3h feet apart.
A good scheme is to plant two par
allel rows of peas about 6 or 8 inches
apart, then leave space of 18 inches
or two feet and plant two more rows
of seed close together. Fewer strings
or less brush will be required to sup
port them than when planted in single
rows ut the greater distance.
If peas are to be grown for immedi-
ate use only, a quart will be enough to
plant at one time. However, If it is
desired to grow peas for canning, large
paintings should be made. If space
is available, 1t is an excellent plan to
make considerable planting at one time
of some one variety, so that the peas
for canning will be available in con-
siderable quantities. This enables the
housewife to get the canning out of
the way in comparatively short time.
Successive paintings of the various va
rieties of peas should be made at In
tervals of about two weeks, until the
weather begins to grow warm, when
the paintings should be discontinued.
1t is possible in some sections to
grow fall crop of peas. When this
is done, early varieties should be used.
