be watched carefully.
CAbBAGE.-In growing this seed it
is necessary to plant two heads. as the
seed Will not be satisfactory unless the
flowers of one plant are cross no1lon-
a'ed with those of the other. The in
sects VIII attend to this work. Select
good hrm heads and plant them about
one-third in the ground, at the same
tlme making crosswise slit in the
top OF the head with a sharp knife. to
give the seed stalks a better chance to
push through from the heart of the
cabbage. If the roots have been left
on, simply plant the roots and let the
mead rest on the surface of the soil.
In short time the flower stalk will
form and then the seed pods will
appear. Cut the pods off and dry as
soon as they turn yellow. Beat the
seed out and keep for next season.
Cabbage seed can be grown from the
stump or root after the head has been
removed for cooking, though this
method is not as sure or as desirable.
The seed plant should be selected and
marked SO that it will not be used in
mistake, and staked up in some mannor
IN order to give the seed every chance
TO rlpen naturally. When the seed he-
gins to ripen watch it closely so as not
TO let 1t go too far. Pods of peas and

BEETS:-Sclect a couple of good,
we'll shaped beets, making sure that
they are of good color by taking out
small piece, plant exactly as directed d
tor carrots, only that in the case of
beets it is well to remember that most
of the seed ripens at one time, and
when t. seed begins to turn brown.
before it is quite ripe, cut the plant
and hang up for a few days to dry,
then rub or beat out the seed with a
light stick and put away in dry place
till spring.
PARSNIP.-Treated practically the
same as the beet and the carrot. Select
those without side roots and as short
and thick root as you can get. Watch
these for grub which eats the seed
before rpening. These can be picked
off when noticed.
Satisfy AND TURNIP.-Practica1lv
the same as the other roots mentioned
above Harvest the turnip seed when
the pods turn yellowish brown.
ONlONS.-Save a few shspely and
firm onions and plant out early in
spring about six inches apart in row.
II they have sproutednut these sprouts
down and plant so that the upper side
OF bulb will be an inch and a half
below the surface of the soil. Later
on, when the plants have grown sniff
GENTLY, bank them up about six inches
to support the stalks. Cut the seod
balls off when the stalks show yellow
near the ground, leaving about three
inches of stalk attached. Spread these
out to dry, drying them as rapidlv as
possible, then beat the seed out md
keep In dry place.
CELERY.-Save about three plants
to make sure of good one, planting
them even if the outside stalks are
gone. If the heart and few inner
stalks are in good condition a good
seed bearing plant will be produced.
Piant about the same depth as the
plant was before being taken up in the
RAIL- and when tho seed stalk appears

Gardeners Must Gro1u Own Seed for Next Year

year. The commercial vegetable grow
ers are arguing that the great increase
IN backyard gardening and community
gardening result in frst-class varieties
OF seeds being wasted on poor land in
many cases by unskilled growers, with
the result of aggravating the scarcity
OF certain varieties of seeds which are
required for commercial production. If
they get their way, certain valuable
seeds will be unobtainable by the am
ateur, no matter how skilled or care
1ul ne is and he would be restricted
to those varieties which are not 50
important for commercial production,
Even If no such regulations go through,
the fact remains seed will be scarce in
1919, and perhaps scarcer still in 1920
1t is not recommended that peop1e
without the proper technical training
grow their own seeds year after wear
without proper selection, etc., but it
Is recommended that in this crisis
every gardener who expects to have q
garden in 1919 save some seed from
tins years crop. Homegrown seeds in
nearly every case give excellent re.
suits.
II you have any good vegetables
saved over in your cellar or know of
neighbors who have any, save careful
~ couple of each of the following:
Celery, onions, turnips, beet, carrot.
cabbage and parsnip. You probably grew
something in this line last year which
pleased you exceptionally, then select
good specimen or two, we'll shaped
ana reserve them now for planting as
soon as danger from frost is over
These will supply you with a good
grade of homegrown seed for next
years garden and put you in an in
dependent position. The special in
structions pertaining to each VARIETY
follow:
CARROT.-Save a couple of shapcly
carrots when tho ground is ready fo,
seeding; plant them deep in the ground
so that the top is slightly below the
surface. Tho flower stalks will soon
appear and when these get high enough
1t is advisable to tie them to stake
80 that they will not get broken. The
seed ripcns very unevcnly and it will be
necessary to pick each head as it bc-
comes ripc. Keep these seed clusters
IN dry, airy place and whom they arc
all thoroughly dY rub or beat out clean
and keep for spr.ng. One good carrot

To the Editor of The Tribune.

Dear Sir: The Tribune of Sunday,
March "a, 1918, contains an article by
C. Pilenas entitled "Bernstorff's Box
in Cake of Ice" Without attempt
ing to express an opinion as to the
probability of the story, unhesitat-
ingly state that the article contains
several statements, directly or by in
nuendo, that are not facts.
One of the first statements made is
that the steamer carried the Bernstorff
suite consisting of some 200 persons
and few passengers. The facts are
that the steamship Frederik VIII car
carried 608 passengers, among which
the Bernstortf suite numbered 14S
persons.
Under the caption in heavy type

girl who lived in an uptown apart

This girl had heard that the line had
been taken over by Germany. The for
mer steward on being interviewed
states that he has no intention of
leaving the feshpots Of America to re-
turn to starve in Germany. The Scan
dinavian-American Line is o Danish
line, employing only Danish stewards
and ! fail to understand why any
Dane should desire to go to Germany

New-York tribune., 1918-04-28
By Gladstone Perry

NCLE SAM is now telling US on
L poster and postmark that
Food will win the war. Don't
waste it." l think he should 20 still
further at this time of the year and
say, "Food will win the war. Save
and Produce it," What would this
mean to you? Whether you are a city
dweller with a gardenettc or sub
urbanlte with a respectable garden,
you can make greater contribution
than you did last year. Those of us
who have been chaperoning "war gar
dens" for the last two years in Can
ada have had frst-hand opportunity to
realize just how much they meant to
the health Of the nacron.
The utmost economy is imperative.
The situation to-day is critical and
the whole world is -apidly approach
ing that condition wnen prices will not
be the most important question. but
when even the people of the United
States and Canada may be glad to
eat any food which they can obtain.
On looking over the annual seed
catalogues | notice in all the same
warning, "Order Your Seeds Early"
and, quoting from one of our foremost
growers, "The seed situation is also
becoming acute, and the growers are
facing very critical period. Good
seeds are scarce; in fact, never before
has there been such shortage. You
may not be able to obtain good seeds
for some crops il you delay ordering
supply, and we strongly urge our
customers to decide early what they
will plant and arrange for their seed
supply without delay"
The Seed Commissioner for Canada
states that European sources of seed
supply are now practically all cut off,.
with the exception possibly of turnip
seed, there may be enough seed on
hand to meet our 1918 requirements.
Prices are abnormaliy high, because a
great part of the prospective supplies
Tor 1918 are not visible. The enor-
nous increase Of back yard gardens
and the increased paintings by sub
urban'tcs, together with the fact that
