FOR AMATEUR GARDENERS

Many Americans do not eat enough
green's and salad vegetables for their
health
clay soil should not be plowed or
spaded In spring nor cultivated after
a rain until 1t ceases to be sticky. II

OF II, after being squeezed tightly,
crumbles readily insteadG of remaining
in a solid mass.
Have your onions stuck up their peri
scopes? II onions are to be grown from
seed they should be plantet early IN
the spring-the earlier the better, Seed
ling onions require the greatest care
in soil preparation n culture, so the
beginner in gardening viii do well to
stick to onion sets.
1t is really surprising how much food
In the form OF greens or salad crops
can be grown in the spaces between
the plants or row of the larger or
standard crops. For example. all the
lettuce and radlshes required by the av-
erago family may be grown between
the plants of early tomatoes,

artists and comedians, furnish is min
utes of u%nalloyed fun in their comedy
skit, "Some Bear These two funsters
have injected a bit of comedy film into
this act, which brings forth many
laughs.

to call nimble nonsense, and Orr and
Weimers, a clever young fellow and a
pretty girl, provide bits of musical
comedy IN a pleasing way.
William S. Hart Is the film star. his
latest release being Breed Of Men

in Arizona, where Hart portrays the
role of a young rancher who Is taken
in by a schemer and who later, when

revenge upon his deceiver, The story
Is alive with Hart action and a pretty
romance runs through the five reels.
Loew's news weekly Is added.

DAILY HOME HELPS
CARROTS GIVE QUICK
SUPPLY OF GOOD FOOD

Carrots are one Of the most desirable
garden crops from the standpoint Of
producing a large quantity Of food on
a small area. They require a deeply
prepared, rich soil for their best devel-
opment. The seed may be sown about
the time frost danger is past.
Plant the seed in drills IA to is inches
apart and about 10 to ~ seeds to each
foot OF drill. Cover one-half 70 three
quarters OF an inch. and as soon as the
carrots are about two inches in height,
thin to an even stand with the plants
two to three inches apart. Where the
plants are. not too thick in the row the
thinning need not be done until some
of them are large enough to use on
the table as baby carrots.
Late paintings of carrots may be
made following early cabbage, lettuce
or radishes. The second or late plant
ings should mature just before frost
and are better for storage tina the
earlier planting.
Early spring parsnips may be grown
and used the same as early carrots,
but ordinarily are planted later, are
given a full season to mature and are
used only during the winter months.
Their planting and cultivation is prac-
tically the same as for carrots. Parsnips
may remain in the ground during the
winter and are not injured by freezing.

RdttLers Scatter
Curious CrOWd At
OUertOn Park Zoo

Curiosity is all right until it is salts
fled, as several hundred persons who
Were at Overton Park Zoo Sunday will
attest.
The arrival of several peculiar look
ipg boxes In front of the snake house
at the Zoo Sunday about noon soon at
tracted a large gathering of Zoo Wis
itors. Speculation was rife as to what
varieties of nearly extinct animals were
to be exposed to the gaze of the Gu
rious.
Then ]. W. Cullen, the superintend-
ent, and assistants began assembling
the crates in real professional style.
The first box opened disclosed four fine,
large specimens of the genuine Texas
RATHER.
The fact that there was no glass cage
surrounding the rattlers and the proba-
bility of one or two escaping, caused a
near panic in the crowd, which dis
persed quicker than children at a school
fire drill.
While the crowd looked on at a re-
spectful distance, Mr.. Cullen and his
workers unlocked 40 snakes of various
types, including about 10 rattlers, sew
eral blue and yellow bulls and divers
other varieties from both Texas and
Mexico.
The shipment came in from Browns
vile, Tex, and cost the Zoo $50, which
sum was taken from the fund received
from the sale of pet stock.
