NOT TOO LATE ID
 PLANT GARDENS
Expert Advises Planting of Fur.
 nipS and CabbageS Now

For the benefit of amateur garden CTS, Superintendent Albion Holmquist of the New Britain home gardens committee, has issued advice concern ing the planting of late cabbage and
 tuTnips. The land from which a, har-
 vest of early crops has been taken
 should now 5e devoted to the planting
 of these vegetables, the superintend-
 ent states, and he recommends eXten-
 sive planting now.
 His article follows:
 There is no doubt that the home
 gardens have available space in their
 plots. The first crops of radshes,
 peas, lettuce, etc, are usually harvest
 ed by this time and should be follow
 cd by some later crop. Many gard , eners neglect the using of such land and do not realize the value of late planting. Cabbage and greens of var
 ious varieties should be planted now
 Cabbage is a product that should no
 doubt be more generally used than 1t is. Don't say it is too late to plant. The big trouble is that amateur gar deHerS fail to realize the value of planting things at the proper time. 1 Last year many planted their late i turnips much too carly and ctcally all failed, while those that waited un- ! til the proper time made splendid suc- i cess. Cabbage and turnips are both 1 a cool season crop and if planted out { of season will almost always prove Q ] complete failure.
 1 Late cabbage is of three general | types: Common or white cabbage, ; savoy cabbage and red cabbage. The first named is by far the most import : ant. Savoy cabbage differs from the ordinary kind in that the leaves are ! curly. Sometimes it is known on the 1 market as 'early cabbage It is more i delicate in flavor than the common : cabbage but as yet is very little | grown. Red cabbage is used mostly i for pickling. The culture of all three i types of late cabbage is essentially the | same. Late cabbage should be plant , cd now and to tho middle of July ! Practically all horiSts have cabbage 1 inches apart in the rows with rows 30 ! inches apart. Late cabbage requires , riCh moist soil, and every care should ] be taken to conserve moisture and ] prom otc growth Best method to con- ! serve moisture is by thorough and ire 1 Quent tillage. Protection of individual ] plants of cabbage from cut-worms
 may be afforded by wrapping a piece of still paper two inches square, about { the stem of the plant when it is trans ! planted Danish ball head and flat ! Dutch are very commonly growll among the white varieties.

Columbus, O., July 11.-"The mon- eyed men Of the United States inter- ested in Mexico are united to work with the interchurch movement to conserve the child life of Mexico and Latin-American countries to make pogsfble a greater civilization in those states% according to pr.

 I've are impressed with the enor- nous havoc among children since the Mexican revolution began said Dr. Bridge. There are 1,500,0 900 orphans. Disease takes them by thousands These children can be saved.
 We are greatly impressed with the work of the missionaries in Latin America and Mexico because they are trying to get hold of the youth espe- cially the boys, to get them started right. That means in ten years a new generation of forceful powerful men.
 Wherefore some of US business men thought we could join forces with the missionaries of all churches to help save thousands of those children. This movement would help all education- al medical and religious work and

spring or & fall crop. The fall crop is of much greater importance. Spring
 crops are used immediately, while the
 fall crop is stored for winter use.
 Late turnips should be planted from
 the latter part of July to the first
 week in August. The best time to
 plant is after a heavy rain. Turnips
 very seldom do well if planted when
 tho soil is very dry. The usual prac-
 tice is to thoroughly prepare piece of
 land from which an earlier crop has
 been removed SOW the seed broad
 cast, and rake it in. To avoid thick sowing mix seed with sand. No fur ther attention is given the crop until harvest time. Fall turnips thus con- stitute an incidental crop requiring very little labor in its production The item of expense is harvesting, for the ! root must be pulled and topped by
