Keep the Garden Working

A good garden crop to plant,
one that will produce protein for
the table and offer a substitute for
meat, is cowpeas, says the Univer-
sity of Florida extension division.
Cowpeas may be planted up to
the middle of July. Plant in rows
three feet apart; which will re-
ouire seed at the rate Of three
pecks to the acre. While almost
any variety will make a good
growth, the Lady Finger, Cali
fornia Blackeye, or New Era are
preferable for table use.

EQUIPMENT OF AIRPLANES
Very Costly, Requiring Many De
vices and Fighting Imple-
ments

Before an airplane can be put
into military service, it must be e.
quipped with at least nine delicate
aeronautic instruments, some of
which are absolutely essential to
exact flying, and all contribute to
the successful operation of a
plane. One gives the pilot his To-
cation as to height and direction ;
others tell his speed through the
air, the speed of his propeller, the
amount Of gasoline carried, water
temperature, operation of the oil
ing system, and guide his "bank-
ing" on turns. Another necessa-
ry article is the oxygen-supplying
apparatus, without which an avia-
tor could not climb to any great
height.
For operation of actual combat
planes, such as observing, photo
graphing, bombing, and fighting
planes, other complicated and ex-
pensive instruments and sets of
apparatus are necessary. Among
them are machine guns, gun
mounts, bomb racks, bomb-drop-
ping devices, bomb sights, radio
and Photographic apparatus, cleo
trically heated clothing, lights
and flares. These bring the total
cost of equipment for an airplane
to several thousand dollars each,
depending upon the type of plane.

inches high. They may be plant
ed as late as the first of August,
but two or three weeks earlier is
preferable. Make the beds four
feet apart and have one plant ev-
cry fifteen inches.
Beans are not usually planted
later than June 10, but they may
do well even if planted as late as
July l.
Squash can be planted as late as
July Is. Set the rows four feet
apart and have one plant every
three feet. The yellow crookneck
or the Boston Marrow will be
good varieties.
Okra may be planted as late as
August l. Make the rows four
feet apart, with plants one foot a
part in the row.
