How to Grow Okra.
Okra is a delicious vegetable that
deserves a better acquaintance with
the home garden than it now pos
sesses. Say "Chicken Gumbo, South
ern Style" to the initiated-that is
all the argument needed in favor of
growing this crop. 1t thrives in anv
good soil and the seeds should be
soWn in rows six to ten inches apart.
Give the plants plenty of room as
they grow into small trees in this
locality. The edible part of the okra

is the pods, which must be gathered
while young. They are used in soups
or as a stewed vegetable and will
grow during the extreme heat of ou
summer. Plant now or any time du
ring next few months.
How to Grow Irish Potatoes.
f, The Irish potato should be planted
at once if a crop is to mature before
heat overtakes it. Cut potatoes sc
that each piece contains about two
eyes and plant the pieces 4 or 5
inches deep and about ID inches be.
tween pieces on ordinary sized ridges
1t has been found that the Early
White Rose is the best all around DO
tato that it will grow in any kind
Of soil any season except during ou1
extreme heat. The Democrat vari.
ETY. is especially well adapted to this
section. Irrigate potatoes sparing-
ly and cultivate frequently and thor.
oughly. 1t is an excellent idea tc
work soil up to the plants as they
develop, so that there will be plenty
OF soil to cover the potatoes as they
form.
How to Grow Sweet Potatoes.
The sweet potato thrives wonder
fully we'll in this climate and soil
but as yet no plants are on the mar
ket. The plants are started in hot
beds by bedding potatoes in sand and
allowing them to sprout. The plants
are broken off the parent potato as
soon as they have formed few
leaves and root system of their own
and as soon as the ground in the
open is we'll warmed up. Sweet po-
tatoes are a heat-loving plant and
grow during the summer months in
the Imperial valley. Plant as soon as
plants can be raised or obtained, on
ridges u or IA inches apart.
How to Grow Sweet Corn.
Plant in hills 1S inches apart on
ridges three feet apart. Allow two
stalks to the hill, break off all side
shoots, cultivate after each irrigation
until corn shades the ground. Irri-
gate every two weeks until in the
milk; then once or twice a week, and
chis will produce solid, tight husk
which will prevent the worms from
doing much damage. Plant every two
weeks. Large Adams variety has
been grown here successfully during
The hottest weather. Golden Bantam
IS probably the very earliest variety
grown and should mature in les sthan
two months.
How to Grow Cucumbers.
Make ridges four feet wide, plant
seed in hills three feet apart on each
side of ridge, planting s to 10 seeds
to a hill. Later thin out the plants,
leaving 5 or 6 of the strongest in
each hill. Cucumbers are susceptible
to aphis and plants should be watched
carefully so that they may be saved
from this pest. CUcumbers should be

Entirely Exhausted
(By Associated Press)
New York, Feb. 26.-Practically all
the textile mills in the Chemnitz (Sax-
ony) district, the center of that in
dustry in Germany, were making cloth
from paper during 1917, the available
supply cotton and wool for textile
purposes having been entirely exhaust
ed A few establishments were spin
ming and weaving fabrics of nettle
fabric by the process invented by an
Austrian scientist during the war.
Profits from the manufacture of the
substitute cloth were, according to
review of the industry published in
recent number of the Cologne Gazette,
by no means mall, and many plants
made good dividends.
Scarcely had the mills been con-
verted to working upon the paper
yarns, however, when the manufac-
turers were unpleasantly surprised by
the news of an alarming shortage in
the new raw material, viz, wood pulp,
almost the entire supply of which is
required as base or explosives and
for other munition prospects, and the
prospects for the textile plants for
the coming year were described in the
review as very poor.
Nettle fibre as a possible substi-
tute for paper yarn is available only
in limited quantities so that only a |
few mills can be employed upon that
raw material
The paper cloth in question is not
a regular paper, but is made of yarns
spun from fibres made of liquid cell
lulose or wood pulp and woven like
cloth, with warp and woof IL is ex-
pected in Germany that paper cloth !

How to Grow Onions.

Onions are easily grown and con-
stitute one of the standard crops in
almost every garden. The usual plan
in the home garden is to plant onion
sets about 3 inches apart in the rows
on either side of the ridges. When
ready for use, take up every other
oneas needed, allowing the balance
to grow to mature size. One pound
of sets will plant about fifty feet of
row. They will be ready for the table
six weeks after PLANTING.

How to Grow Carrots.

Carrots may be planted throughout
the growing season and may be plant
ed in rows or broadcast. Carrots
planted now will be ready for use in
eight weeks and will remain palatable
all during the summer. They are con-
sldered very profitable because of the
large quantity a small patch will pro-
duce, and there is no waste, as any
surplus may be fed to poultry, rab-
bits or other animals. Sow the seed
from one-half to one inch deep, and
an ounce of seed is sufficient for a
1Oo-foot row, and'the plants may be
allowed to grow almost as thick as
planted.
