A half acre garden, if cared for prop
erly, will produce far more vegetables
than the average family can consume dur
ing the maturing period OF the crops.
Only small portion OF a garden of this
size should be devoted TO those yegetab les
that must be used as soon as they reach
maturity. 1t is advisable to devote the
major portion of the space to those crops
which if not needed at once may be kept
for winter use. In fact, if the space is
available the garden should be planned
with the definite purpose of growing
crops for storage for winter Use.
Late beets, late cabbage, carrots, celery.
onions, parsnips, late potatoes, sweet
potatoes, satisfy. and late turnips nav be
stored in their natural condition and If
possible should be grown to the extent Of
the family needs for storage for winter
use
Work Garden All Season.
1t is possible III nearly all sections OF
the country to grow late beets, late cab
bage, late potatoes and turnips on ground
that has already produced crop OF let

tatoes, or some crop requiring a relatively
short period for its maturity. Gardener,
are inclined TO neglect the opportunitie,
for crop production in the garden after
the first part OF the season has passed
and frequently space is allowed to lie idl,
that should be producing a crop OF La,
potatoes, cabbage or turnips. In section,
where the season is short it is possible
to plant the late crop between the row
OF early crops before the early crops ar,
removed. thus gaining two or three
weeks time

All able-bodied persons were

WILSON GETS POWER
ON RAILROAD RATES
Administration Wins Victory in
House Interstate Committee.

Final authority in rate-making was
given the President yesterday in the
draft OF the administration railroad
bill approved by the House Interstate
Commerce Committee.
After a day-long argument. an
agreement was reached that the Presi-
dent might propose changes in rates;
the Interstate Commerce Commission
might then conduct % hearing to set
tie their justice. but that the commits
sion's finding might be reversed by
the President arbitrarily.
This exactly reverses the Senate
committees action, which left the
commission supreme.
The most vigorous argument on the
whole oill came over the proposal to
let the President fix rates. Western
representatives insisted that the COM
mission, with its years OF experience
and knowledge OF the effect which GER
tain rates would have no industries
in various communities, should keep
its present power.
A final report is due on the bill to-
day. 1t will be favorably reported to
the House probably this wek, and the
calendar cleared IL possible to start
general debate the first Of next week.
