JULY GARDENING
Miss Elaine Massey, 90. Agt

Small potatoes from the spring
crop may be used for planting
fall crop. These should be plan
ted whole. Potatoes from spring
crop int nded for seed should be
dug as early as possible, taken at
once to cool, shady place and
spread out 'hif1y to prevent de-
cay and to cure. Expose to light
but not to direct sun. When po-
tatoes show no sign of sprouting
two weeks before planting them,
cover lightly with sand, garden
soil, straw, or like material, and
keep moist not wet. Two weeks
should suffice to start sprouting.
Large potatoes should be cut and
allowed to dry a few hours before
planting. Out pieces somewhat
larger than was necessary for The
spring planting. Plant and cult
tivate as for spring crop.
Set plants on cloudy days or
late in the evening. Water roots
well while planting. If dry wea
ther prevails it may be necessary
to water and shade from NJ onday
sun for several days until plants
are esta blished. Shallow and fre-
quent cultivation should be the
rule during warm, dry weather.
Select best plants for seed saving
Remove crops as soon as ready
and replace with others that are
in season. Do not forget your
garden diary. 1t will be interes-
ting reading matter next season.

ENTIRE SLOPE SUFFERS WHEN
FREEZE CATCHES CROPS

An unusual condition developed in
the weather here Saturday when the
thermometer dropped so low it was al
most lost. catching much fruit and
early garden. Sunday it warmed up
but very little and Sunday night a
second visit of Jack Frost put the
finishing touch on whatever had been
overlooked on the previous occasion.
Reports from various sections of this
and Montrose county are widely differ
ent. 1t appears that the freeze went
in streaks. some sections being al
most entirely killed out, while others
suffered but little if any
While reports from Montrose and
Paonia at first indicated almost tot
al loss. it is now believed that it is
not SO bad as at first thought Much
of the alfalfa and fruit is not damaged
to great extend. and while potatoes
We're leveled to the ground. like truth
crushed to earth, they will rise again.
There is no doubt that the freeze is
a calamity. but after all it might have
been worse and we may even yet look
for fair crop of fruit. hay and veg
etables
Since Tuesay the weather has
warmed up steadily and today it is
about normal.

died Tuesday, June 8, after a years ill.
ness of infantile paralysis.
Funeral services were conducted
from the Methodist church Wednesday
evening, by Rev. Geo. F. Klein, and
the remains laid TO rest in Garnet
Mesa cemetery.
The family are japanese and came
here direct from their oriental home
about three years ago. Surviving the
youth are his parents and two sisters.
t The services were attended by 4
large number of Japanese countrymen
and many beautiful flowers covered
the bier.
If there were any way in which
We could help to soften the path OF
sorrow for these sorrowing parents
upon whom the finger of suffering has
been so cruelty pressed, We would sin,
cerely wish to do so. Death at any
rate is tragedy, but to strangers in a
strange land, far from home and kind
red, it is more than tragedy, and SO
we especially express to the bereaved
ones our profound sympathy.
