The school Improvement Association is glad to announce to the puollc that the new piano is almost half paid for and it Is insured for three years. The exact balance due is $375 %.
 We are especially thankful to Mrs. Kinney for the contribution of S25 00 she contributed to this fund from her entertainment given May E, and also for the Sl55. co contribution which she made last fall We desire to thank all who have contributed or otherwise aid ed in the payments thus far made.
 The present outlook of the $. l. A. is most promising. More than 40 new members have recently been added. A petition to the School Board to add the Department of Domestic Science has just been circulated and signed by prac tically everyone to whom it was pre- sented.
 The petition was presented to the School Board Tuesday by Supt. M. J. finders at a six clock dinner prepared and served by the school girls under the able direction of Miss Callahan, County Director of School clubs.
 Members of the School Board and their wives and Supt M. J. finders and wife were present at the luncheon. and it has leaked out that the Board at a meeting immediately following the luncheon unanimously voted to employ a Domestic Science teacher for full time
 A wise step in the right direction.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS.

Brussels sprouts are closely related
to cabbage and cauliflower, and may
be grown In very much the same man
ner. The seed may be started in the
window box or in the hotbed and
transpldnted to the garden when the
ground is in condition to work.
Instead of a single head, Brussels
sprouts produce a large number of
small heads, these heads being FORM
ed in the axils of the leaves. If the
heads become too crowded, the. leaves
should be broken Or so as to give the
heads more room. However, n few
leaves should always be left in the
top of the stem where the new heads

RADISHES.

The radish is quite hardy and may
be grown throughout the winter in the
middle section of the United States. In
many portions of the South it is pos
sible to grow 1t in the open ground
throughout the winter. For the home
garden the seed should be sOwn In the
open ground about the time of the last
killing frost. The seed should be sown
in drills at convenient distance for
cultivation, usually about IS inches.
To be of good quality, radishes must
ie grown quickly in rich soil, and be
used as soon as of sufficient size. Sue
cessive paintings should be made every
few days until the weather becomes
warm. They will not Withstand hot
weather and are suited to early spring
and late autumn planting.
There are autumn varieties of rad
Ishes which may be grown late in the
season and stored for winter use the
same as beets or turnlps. A few of
these will add variety to the winter
supply of vegetables

PARSLEY.

The seeds of parsley should be
soaked for few hours before plant
ing to insure termination. They are
slow in terminating and should be
handled very carefully. After one or
two transplantings they should be set
in the open ground in rows II to 1S
inches apart and 3 to inches apart
in the rows as early as the soil can be
put in condition. small area devoted
to this crop will be sufficient for the
average family.
1t is used as garnishing and for
flavoring soups. Keep little of II

The Colorado statesman., 1918-04-20
Rlos la South Carolina.

No food, regardless Of its merits, will
appeal to the consumer unless 1t can
be made into an attractive dish. In
this country rice usually comes to the
table as an uninviting, glutinous mass,
except in certain sections of the South
ern states, where 1t 10 served with each
grain distinct and separate, making
very tempting and appetizing dish. A
platter heaped with loose, fiaky ker-
nels of rice is not only pleasing to the
eye, but satisfying to the APPETITE. II
Is very probable that the attractive ap-
pearance Of this dish on the South
Carolina table has had much to do
with the popularity and usefulness OF
rice in that state.
In seeking information on the art OF
cooking rice, no mistake Is made In re-
ferring to South Carolina, where the
true value of this cereal has been ap-
preciated for over two centuries. A
Carolina housewife would advise the
using of one pint Of rice, after thor
ougr washing, which she considers I'M
portant, "to a quart and pint OF wa
ter" and teaspoonful of common
salt. "This is to be boiled over quick
fire for ten minutes. stirring occasion
ally. Then pour off all or nearly all
the water; cover the vessel and put
over a very slow fire, and allow 1t to
steam for IS minutes at least, stirring
occasionally. The rice will be soft or
grainy, according to the quantity OF
water left ON 1t when put to steam, and
the length of time allowed In the
steaming. The larger the quantity OF
water and the shorter the steaming,
the softer will be the rice"
OF course, other methods are used IN
boiling rice or at least notifications OF
the recipe given, but 1T must be re-
membered that the results should not
be a glutinous mass and that success
depends upon the proper amount OF
water used and the length Of time In
steaming.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-04-20
LIMA BEANS.

Lima beans should not be planted
until the ground is thoroughly warmed
up, as they are a heat-loving crop and
the seed will rot If planted when the
ground is cold. Most gardeners pre-
fer the pole varieties, as they yield
better than the bush varieties and are
superior to the bush varieties in many
other respects. One marked advan-
tage of the pole beans is that they may
be planted around the fence, utilizing
the fence as a support for the vines.
In this manner a crop of beans can
be secured with the use of minimum
amount of spacing.
When planted in rows in the gar
den, pole lima beans are usually plant
ed in hills 3 to feet apart and sup
ported on poles or a string and wire
trellis.
The bush limas are usually drilled
In rows some 31s feet apart for horse
cultivation, or slightly closer for hand
cultivation. The lima beans are full
season crop, that is, they occupy the
ground for the entire growing season,
and sufficient amount should be
planted to provide for the needs of the
family for the entire season. Any sur
plus not used green may be allowed to
dry on the vines, picked and stored
for winter use.
Lima beans constitute one of the
most satisfactory crops for growing
for winters use, as the only care ne
cessary to save them is to pick the ripe
pods, dry them thoroughly and shell
the beans. In the northern portion of
the country where lima beans do not
thrive, pole beans of the Lazy Wife
variety will give satisfaction.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-04-20
coLLARDS.

The culture and uses of collards are
the same as for cabbage. The plants
should be started in very early spriag
and set out as soon as the ground is
in condition. They withstand the heat
better than cabbage and are much
used in the southern portion of the
country. Collards do not form a true
head, but instead a loose rOsette of
leaves, which, when blanched, are
very tender and Of delicate flavor.
No southern garden is complete
without this plant. Too often, how
ever, it has constituted the sum total
in the shape of garden supplies. Use
1t, but don't abuse 1t.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-04-20
Protect Food In Lunches.

The precautions which must be
taken to keep lunches clean and safe
differ with circumstances. In dusty
seasons they should be wrapped par
tlcularly well. In hot weather the use
of soft, moist foods in which molds
and bacteria are most likely to grow
rapidly should be avoided. Although
chopped meat moistened with Dress
ing of some kind makes a good sand
wich filling, such foods are less desir-
able in hot weather than slices of meat,
peanut butter, or other foods less liza
BILE to spoil.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-04-20
KOHL-RA8 81.

The edible portion of the kohl-rabi
is the thickened stem. 1t is closely re-
lated to cabbage and caullflower. 1t
should be started in the hotbed or win
dow box and set in the open ground
about the time of the last frost. The
method of planting and the cultivation
is similar to that practiced for cab
bage. 1t can be planted In the open
at the same time. Early sowings are
made, and if thinned to 4 to 6 inches
apart the plants will soon grow to
edible size under favorable weather
conditions. This plant should receive
much more consideration than usually
is given It, 1t is really q poor mans
cauliflower.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-04-20
PEPPERS.

Plant the seeds of peppers in the
hotbed about six weeks to two months
before time to set them in the open
ground They should be transplanted
at least once and should not be set In
the open until the ground is thorough
ly warm. When grown in the garden
the large bull-nosed types should be
placed in rows feet apart with the
plants from 15 to II inches apart in
rows. Frequent shallow cultivation
should be given, and the plants Will
continue to bear until frost kills them.

nre being formed. brussels sprouts
are more hardy than cahbnge and in
many sections may be planted in the
fall. They should be set In rows 30
to 30 inches apart If for horse cultl-
walton. The plants should be set from
20 to p inches apart in the rows.
Brussels sprouts may be stored for
winter use in much the same way ns
cabbage. The best method Is to tnke
up the plants, pack them closely to-
gether In n trench, covering them with
straw or other litter to protect them
from freezing and thawing.

PROFITABLE USE OF MANURE
Garden and Orchard viii Take Good
Care of All Fertilizer Pro-
duced on Farm.

Save and apply all Of the barnyard
manure that is produced on your
farm. The garden and the orchard
are like prospective candidates-they
are "in a receptive mood" 1t is diff
ficult to get garden land too rich. In
case there seems to be more nitrogen
from heavy applications of manure
than the other constituents, apply acid
phosphate and hardwood ashes to bal
ance the fertility constituents.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-04-20
USE A LITTLE VINEGAR
IN CLEANING GREENS

All greens must be picked
over carefully and carefully
washed. This is sometimes a
long process, for a large guam
tity is required to make a dish
of the cooked green's. 1t takes
about half bushel Of spinach
TO make a little more than a
pint when cooked. A half cup
full of vinegar in the water in
which the green's are allowed to
stand before washing is of ad-
vantage as 1t kills the small In
sects that are sometimes hard
to distinguish from the leaves
themselves.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-04-20
Find Amount of Seed Needed.

Aim to make every seed count. Re
member the supply of some Of the
more important varieties of garden
seed is limited, and in order that all
may obtain enough to meet their needs,
everyone should cooperate to make
what Is used produce maximum crop.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-04-20
IN YOUR HOME GARDEN

"Dig deep, manure well, work
often" Thus Pliny the Elder,
nearly 1000 years ago, summed
up gardening. His advice is
good today.
Enthusiasm must be backed
by solid purpose-enough of 1t
to surmount obstacles and sur
vive disappointments.
The best insurance against ac-
cidents in gardening is knowing
how to garden.

lug and satisfactory vegetables. II
can be grown on almost any we'll
drained soil, but will do best on deep
sandy loan. There is little possibil-
ity of having the ground too rich, and
liberal applications of partly rotted
barnyard manure should be made be-
fore the plants are set. The seeds OF
asparagus may be sown during the
spring in rows where the plants are to
remain, and the seedlings thinned TO
stand ID feet apart in rows.
1t is usually more satisfactory to
purchase two-year-old roots, as con-
siderable time is saved in this way.
AS the asparagus bed is a permanent
feature of the garden, 1t should be To-
Gated accordingly. Before setting the
plants the soil should be loosened very
deeply, either by subsOil plowing or by
deep spading. 1t is good plan to re-
move the top soil and spade manure
into the subsoil to a depth of ii or 16
inches. The plants may be set in
rows for horse cultivation or In beds.
If in rows they should be set IA inches
apart, with the rows 31A feet apart.
If in beds, one foot apart each way Is
the proper distance to set the plants.
In setting the plants the crowns should
be covered or 8 inches deep.
In the North the plants should re-
ceive a mulch of or inches of ma
nure in winter. In the South the
mulch is not necessary, but the plants
should receive a coat of manure or an
application of fertilizer preferably in
autumn.
No shoots should be removed during
the first year the plants are set In the
permanent bed. and the period Of cut
ting should be short during the second
year.
