GARDEN

Every garden should be made to
produce as much food as possible this
summer. If a rotation of crops is
practiced the production of the small
garden is almost doubled. Early ma
turing crops may be planted success
sively every two weeks or so. Some
of these vegetables are radishes, spin
ach, lettuce, early peas, parsley, tur-
nips. These crops can also be fol
lowed by late beets, spinach, late
peas. These may be planted in rows
between the early vegetables or plant
ed in the same row. Some of the fol
lowing plants may be placed in or be
tween the rows of early vegetables:
Celery. cabbage, brussels. sprouts,
cauliflower, tomatoes. The early veg
etables are used and out of the way
by the time the late plants are big
enough to shade the ground.

GO FOR THE CUT WORM

A vast amount of damage is done
each spring by the cut worm. The
worm remains buried in the ground in
the day time. At night it to
the surface of the ground and cuts
off the plants. Before day light it
goes into the ground at the base of
the last plant cut off. On small
patches they can be removed by hand
and killed if close observation is fol
lowed. Paper collars can also be
made and placed around the plants
as a protection by taking a strip of
inches and %pinning the ends together.
These collars should be sunk in the
ground for about one-half inch to hold
them in place. In large gardens or
fields the most effective remedy is the
poison mash of: 5lbs wheat bran,
l pint cheap molasses, 4 ounces white
arsenic, or paris green, ! lemon, >
gallons water. Scatter around in the
fields or place a portion about the size
of a marble at the base Of each plant.
Care must be taken to keep this from
chickens and animals as it is deadly
poison. The best time to scatter the
mash is in the late afternoon or yer
ing so that it doesn't dry u too much
before the worm finds it.

requires a high temperature, a large
amour Of sunshine and a long grow
ing season. For best results large,
healthy plants should be set out dur
ing the latter part of May. In favor
able seasons the early varieties will
produce fruit if the seed is sown in
the ground during the middle Of May
but under such conditions the plants
do not reach their maximum produc-
ton. In most cases the plants which
have been transplanted twice give the
best returns.
The plants should be set out during
a cloudy day or in the evening. They
should be protected from the sun and
wind for a few days after setting out.
This may be done by a shield of old
shingles set in the ground. Bottom
less berry boxes or tin cans with both
ends removed are also good.
The variety should also be consid-
cred as the length Of time required
for maturity varies considerable. The
most popular early variety is the
Earlianna. 1t is a light red, medium
sized. very early and a heavy yielding
tomato. The fruit is generally quite
rough and much cracked with a low
percentage of marketable fruit. Chilk's
Early Jewel produces a better quality
Of fruit but is not early as the Earl
anna. OF the late varieties the Stone
seems to be the standard as it pro
duces fruit of an excellent quality for
canning. Other familiar late varie-
ties are the Globe. Greater Baltimore,
Red Rock. Beauty and Acme. The
Ponderosa, a very late variety is con
sidered the largest tomato. The Plum
and Pear, small yellow tomatoes, are
used quite extensively for preserving.
Stalking enables one to grow more
vines in the same space. If a strong
stake is placed near each vine and the
vine tied to it as it grows, the plants
may be spaced two feet apart each
way, otherwise they should be three
or our feet apart each way. This
stalking keeps the fruit off the ground,
hastens ripening a little and save
some from rottening on wet ground
A trellis Of chicken wire can also be
used or a barrel hoop supported on
stakes about Is inches high is also
good for keeping the vines and fruit
off the ground.

Je,Uish Relief
!. Fund Is Well
Subscribed To
County Committee is Pleased With
Outcome of Comprehension Is
Raised, Working Under Unusual
Conditions.

The county campaign for the Jew
tsh Relief fund closed this week with
about $4,000 in the hands Of the
treasurer, up to that time.
It vas impossible to exactly deter
mine what the proceeds of the drive
amounted to, but the committee be-
Heved that amount was a safe esti-
mate Of the subscriptions. Although
the amount collected did not reach
the goal set by the county committee,
=. j. Lander, chairman Of the COM
mfttee, said today that the commit
tee was not only pleased with the re-
turns, but surprised that under the ex-
listing conditions, that amount had
been collected.
The campaign in this city was con
siderably hampered, in view Of the
fact that the health ban prohibited
any advertising through public gath
ertngs. Two Of the leading committee
workers were also unable to render
the assistance they expected. MAJ
Rabinovich was called east at the op.
ening Of the campaign, and M. PIANO.
Wiz, treasurer of the committee, haa
been Ill with influenza since the cam.
paign plans were outlined.
The country districts made an espe.
cial1y splendid response in this cam.
