the wheat is sown at a later date,
the flies emerge and die before they
can find wheat to deposit eggs upon.
This was found to be true by expert
ments made during the disastrous
fly attack of 190O-01. and by tests
made last year on county experiment
farms. In both cases very little in
festation was found upon wheat
sowed in the latter part of Septem-
ber, but earlier sown wheat was
heavily infested.
Since there is also a spring brood
of fly, late seding is only partially eff
fective unless entire neighborhoods
cooperate thus preventing the devel-
opment of any fall brood at all. ).
The "fy-free" wheat-seeding date
for the northern tier of Ohio counties
is from September 16 to 20. For
the northern central section of Ohio,
which would be bounded by Van
Vert, Mercer and Drake counties on
the west, and Columbiana, Jefferson
and Belmont on the east, the date is
is from September 20 to 26. For
counties lying in southern Ohio below
the latitude of Columbus, the date
is from September 26 to October A.

REASONS WHY EARLY
POTATO CROPS FAILED

The early potato crop is practically
failure in Ohio this season, due
largely to the excessive hot and dry
weather. In many instances the po-
tatoes are scarcely worth digging.
Undoubtedly the use of diseased, un-
treated seed, however, had something
to do with the failure, says Prof. L.
M. Montgomery, of the Ohio State
University. Black scurf or rosette, he
says, was unusually prevalent on
shipped potato seed stock last spring.
Black scurf upon the tubers is char
acterized by blackish looking spots on
the surface which appear very much
like small specks or larger accumula-
tions Of black soil. These specks or
spots are not removable by ordinary
washing but may be separated from
the skin by the point of a knife. I'm
less the potatoes are treated with
corrosive sublimate before planting
the blackish spots, under favorable
weather conditions, will give rise to a
fungous growth which will attack the
young stems and seriously weaken the
plant, thus cutting the possible yield
The greater damage to early pota-
toes, however, says Prof. Montgom-
cry, semed to be the prevalence of
tip burn, non-parasitic condition,
which manifests itself in the drying
up Of the leaves, beginning at the
margins and more especially at the
tip. Spraying with bordeaux, while
not absolutely preventing the condi-
ton, will very materially aid in hold
ing it in check. Early planting and
good growing conditions will aid in
lessening the damage.

ROOT CROPS FOR WINTER USE

With available garden space to grow the crops, it is a. simple matter to safely store all the root vegetables required for winter and spring use. In spite of this, only a, very small per Certage of amateur gardeners take ad- vantage of this method of having continual supply of vegetables on hand and specially during the months of ity-and as far as green vege- tables are erned-therefore at a season when all vegetables are most expensive.
 The great food value of root crops is a factor in their favor which should not be lost sight of, as they are eNCee edingly rich in starch and sugar. Then we must also take into consid- atton their influence on our bodily health. If we would live long and keep in perfect health, we must not omit to use vegetables freely. Green fresh vegetables whenever possible, supplemented during the winter and early spring months by the root crops we have specially grown and stored for the purpose.

Root Crops for Winter Use.

Carrots for winter will be soWn ac- cording to the type it is intended to grow, and the condition of the soil should also be taken into consider alton. Where the soil is of good depth mellow and friable, even the longest rooted varieties may be culti- vated But should the soil be of an opposite nature, shallow and graveI- Iy, then the stump rooted type only will give fair results. These short stump-rooted varieties are of quick growth and may be sown any time up 10 mid July, using such kinds as Col den Ball, Amsterdam, Forcing or Early Scarlet Horn. The larger sorts, including Chantenay, Half Long Nan tes. Danvers and St. Valery requiring a longer season, should be sown not later than early May.
 Parsnips should be sown aearly if the roots are to attain full size, but as frost cannot harm the roots, the crop need not be harvested until quite late in the season, or just before the ground freezes up for the winter. In soil of good depth use the varieties Guernsey or Long Smooth, but in lst allow ground Early Short Round will be more satisfactory.
 Salsify is now becoming very pop u!ar as a winter vegetable and right ly so, as on account of it's distinct and delicious flavor it makes an agreeable change from the roots more generally grown. The seed should be sown early and harvested along with the parsnip.
 Turnips for the winter use must be

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
lThousands Have Discovered Dr.
 Edwards Olive Tablets are
 Harmless Substitute.

{ Dr. Edwards Olive TabIets-the substi. 6ute for calomel - are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost Instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel- They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct i1. Nlly cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is bes@ not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
 Most headaches, 'dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy' and ~heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they 'perk up" the sp;rita Sac arS 25c box. All druggists.

sown until mid July or early Angus st
 as the crop cannot be grown success fully during the hot season. The best
 Keeping varieties are Red Top
 White Globe and Yellow Aberdeen. Avoid the early sorts unless intended for immediate use. Early Milan is an eNceIlant turnip for spring as 1t
 bulbs up very quickly. These extra
 early sorts must be used before they
 become fully grown as they are apt to become bitter when they attain full size It is therefore advisa ble to make several small sowings at in tervals of ten days or two weeks. The seedlings must be thinned out early and Q quick steady growth encouraged
 to ensure quality.
 The late crop started in late July or early August will be ready for lift ing during October or early Novem- Der according to local conditions.
 Ruta Bagas or Swede Turnips
 ought to be more generally grown as they can be depended upon to keep well over winter. while they havA
 much more delicate and sweeter flaw or than the ordinary turnips Prac- tically hardy, q few degrees of frost will not harm them, in fact the great | after the weather becomes quite cool, such conditions being inimicaI to their well being. Sow the seed halt an inch deep, during the early part 1 of July, and allow plenty of room for ! development. The rows should be l two feet apart and the plants thinned ] out to six or nine inches apart. There are white and yellow fleshed varieties l the best of these being the Improved i Purple Top Yellow and White Flesh i ed NeCkless.
 ! Winter Radish for storing should 1 be sown until late July. They are | stored like Turnips and used in the ! same manner, or, cut and sliced they
 may be used in a, mixed salad or sep arately. The flavor Is sharper or i more pungent than the small sum-
 ner varieties, but this extra snap or ! bite" is appreciated by many The varieties White Chinese and Chinese
 Rose are good examples of this famt- ly and grow to a, great size.

PHILOSOPHY IN TABLOIDS
By EIsfe Fcrruson

The best receipt I know for beauty is kind thoughts.
 A sluggish liver contributes to much temperament displayed in studios.
 A woman need not fear growing 1y life.
 Ambition should never be felt so 6eenly that 1t permits one to forget to be charitable to others.
 An hour spent with ones own thoughts each day sometimes reveals many unpleasant truths.
 Love is the only excuse for mar riage; other reasons have been tried out and proven to be failures.
 One can only be truly happy when one has done all the good within ones power.
 sometimes dispel imaginary love sick ness.
 There must be something greater to strive for than the ordinary little ambitions which we think are i'm portant.
 Envy never procured the desired object and 8 bitter heart draws the mouth down at the corners
 A deep dyed screen vampire is often e very good wife and mother in private life.
 A hearty laugh is good for art, de- spite what the critics say
 Sarcasm and pointed chins are boon companions.
 The small saIaried working girl who buys white kid shoes for com mon wear would be a dangerous per son with a movie" stars salary.

Growing Delicious Salad in the Cellar

Growing Delicious Salad in the Cellar
 By potting or boxing the roots of Witloof ChicOry we may grow this
 delightful salad plant in our cellar
 from November until Spring. This
 valuable vegetable is also known as
 French Endive and as a rule can only
 be found on the menus of the best hotels and restaurants. The seed is
 sown early in May in drills eighteen
 inches apart, covering the seed not
 more than an inch. Thin out the
 seedlings to four inches apart. Dur
 ing October or early November the
 roots are lifted, removing the leaves
 to within two inches from the top of
 the root, and stored in a perfectly cool place, as a little frost will not l harm them. The roots may now be forced as required. A nine inch flow CT pot will hold nine or twelve roots, 1 the end of which may be cut back or l trimmed so that they may be all of l equal length.
 The soil should consist of three i parts sand and one part good garden ! soil thoroughly mixed. Place two | inches of the compost in the bottom, 1 then put the roots in position one : inch or so apart, the tops covered 1 with two inches of the soil, water ! well, then invert another pot of the | same size over the roots and place in 1 the warmest part of the cellar. Cover | the drainage hole in the inverted pot | so that the shoots may be in com 1 pIete darkness. As the soil dries out
 1t must be watered and it is well te ! apply it slightly warmed. In the
 course of a week or ten days the
 shoots will be ready for cutting ant ] # the top or crown of the roots are 1 not taken, they will continue bearine ! a supply of delicious salad for many | weeks. Boxes may be utilized instead ] of pots and fresh paintings should bt | made every three or four weeks.

Red Beet.

The variety most generally grown for winter storing, as it is late in ma turing, seed should be soWn in April. Where however the round or turnip- shaped beets are preferred, the stock for winter storing need not be sown until early July. Good varieties o1 this type are Black Red Ball and De troit Dark Red.
 Any surplus roots from the early crop should be canned and this fa- vorite vegetable may be kept by this method entirely instead of troubling to store the roots.
