Satisfy Growing

How many children in the garden
class have been satisfy growing!
is rot common home garden crop,
but IS grown most largely by market
gardeners near cities Satisfy is also
called Oyster Plant, because the favor
of the cooked plant resembles that OF
the. oyster. It is biennial. and the
flower produced the second spring
woald make an addition to a tall
flower border.
sou ard .Fertilizer-The largest
roess are produced in light, sandy
bain. The soil should be worked
deeply and the fertilizer mixed to the
vesy bottom of the loose earth. The
method Of preparing the row and
making the fertilizer given for par
ships lleaflet siNty-threei gives eN-
celIent tresults with satisfy.
Planting and TranSplanting-The
seeds are. planted in rows where the
crep. is to grow AS the seeds are
large and egerminate well, one seed
should. be planted where each plant is
to stand. IF there is doubt OF the
terminating qualities of the seeds
sow ane seed every two or three
inches and thin SO that the plants
stand four or six inches apart.
Cuiture-CuItivate the soil deeply
and aften.s AS soon as the seedlings
are well established do not be atrar
o7.work close to the plants, as the
roots are long and straight. Saislfy
requires a long time to develop. The
rows should be, kept free from grass
and weeds at all times
Yield and Marketing-From two TO
three bushels OF roots constitutes ar
average yield for one hundred feet o'
row. The long tap roots should be
dug without breaking the tips. The
tops are usually cut off and the roots
sold i'm punches. The roots may alst
be sold by the peck. The root is no
injured by freezing and can be dug
in northern zones as needed during
the winter. AS the roots are bes
wl,en freshly dug. it is best to leave
the home supply in the ground unit
needed and to sci! i'll bunches thu
right size for the use Of an average
family.
Use-Salsify is served boiled ant
creamed. AS satisfy is one Of tbs
few vegetables that can be harvested
fresh from the garden during tn
winter II, freezing climates, it make
pleasing addition to the diet. Whil

Specialist Largely Attended.
Demonstrations of the use o.
skinned milk, given by Miss Florence
Inlay. an Iowa State College specialist
in this city Tuesday and Wednesday,
were largely attended and resulted In
pledges for increased use of milk as a
food. Two demonstrations were given
at the domestic science laboratory AT
the high school Tuesday morning and
afternoon, the latter meeting being
open to the ladies of the city. who
took advantage of the invitation. The
third demonstration, at the home o.
Mrs. l.. r. thinner, 500 South Third
avenue. Wednesday afternoon was
largely attended by the members OF
the South Side Community Club.
Miss INLAY said that she found thru
interrogation, that greater number OF
girls in the high school used milk
than had ben found in the many other
high schools of the state she had
visited and she expected a still greater
consumption of milk as the result OF
the meetings held here, judging by the
interest shown.
Miss Inlay demonstrated the max
ing of desserts with skinned milk,
cooking cereals and making coffee
with skinned milk, and many new
and novel uses OF the beverage in
cooking She asked that a census or
milk consumption be taken, thru sta
tistics gathered from milk dealers to
determine the approximate consump-
ton OF milk at the present time ana
ayaip in tuo or three months to deter
mine whether the statewide campaign
to encourage the greater use of milk
is having the desired results.
