When Fred Turner and laid out
our quarter of an acre farm" we de-
cided we would do all our planting at
once, disregarding the Injunction OF
the seed catalogue and professional
gardener advisers to plant little at
a time in order to have q succession
of vegetables throughout the summer.
Our wives agreed with US in this at
first, but later changed their minds.
Therefore, it probably Is needless to
say, we changed our plans.
At one side of the garden we left a
strip about thirty feet wide for the
full length of hundred feet The
reservation mainly was for sweet
corn, snap-beans. winter cabbage,
beets and rutabagas. The root crops
-beets and rutabagas-were to be
kept for winter use in their natural
state, the former to be stored in boxes
Of sand and the latter harvested late
and simply kept in our cellars. We
hadn't any very definite program for
using the cabbage, beyond making
some kraut, but we hadn't planted
any early cabbage and it didn't seem
like a garden without some.

shifts to the gold diggings of Austria

we last saw in Mr.. Watson's first
novel, when Bonds Are Loosed." At

or sanction of civil law. John had
lived with this pair until he was six

the Pacific where they had chosen to
live in complete solitude. 'The Main

In substance it is the chronicle Of the
adventurings Of young John Sher-

What Mr.. Watson's ingenuity has
done is to produce youth OF seven
teen who is absolutely clean Of world
contacts, a youth who is virgin to
love, to friendships, to conventions;
to modes of behavior-to all social
prepossessions. His introduction to
the world Il by way Of the island

undercurrent is the thing. however.
This covers the sudden lift of John
Sherwin--full grown.into lie. ana

CHRONICLES OF ST. It'd: BY Eden
Phfrlpotts, author of old Della
boIe, etc. New York: The Mac

In "old Delabols" Eden Phillpotts
reworked the slate mines Of Devon
for the sake Of getting at the romance
Of industry. and in 'BruneFs Tower"
he told the story Of the pottery
makers Of that region. But in The
Chronicles Of st. It'd" he has simply
Ioafed about old Devon, gathering up
ancient hearsays and digging into the
long-buried roots of present custom
and fitting everyday behaviors into
old settings Of fact and legend. From
proach he comes upon the west
country, giving over to the reader as
many views Of this corner OF Eng
land-each one projected In ofd-time
fragments OF speech ana pTepoSsSS-

this chronicle, humor that COMFORTS
perfectly with tho different tales.
This Is a record to put with the other

future day for q glorihed guide book
to the west England that this writer
has endeared to many reader.
