EARLY PLANTING OF

Earlier planting of large, productive
varieties Of corn is frequently much
more profitable than the normal plant

Early in southern localities. The plant

n alternate rows has increased yields
where moisture Is limiting factor.
Varieties differ, it has been found,
n their ability to adapt themselves
and their grain production to varying
stands. Prolific varieties, when given
increased space, have shown ability to
increase their grain production much
more satisfactorily than have the SIN
gle ear varieties, because Of their abil-
ty to make up for deficiency in stand.
The studies made by the department
specialists have resulted in isolating
inform types within variety. 1t has

Instinct types, and to arrive at basic

to segregate these uniform types. :.

a month before the average date for
the last frost.
Take a Chance on Early Planting.
Irish potatoes are easily inquired by
freezing, but they require about a
month to come up and may be planted
at about che same time as lettuce and
radishes. 1t pays to take a chance
on the early planting of certain of the
more hardy garden vegetables. If
they are killed or severely injured
they may be replanted. A good meth
cd is to make about three paintings
at intervals Of two weeks, and If the
first planting is killed the later ones
take it's place; II not killed, early veg
etables will be produced and the Sec
,ond and third paintings provide q
continuous supply.
Keeping up the gardening interest
throughout the season is Just as i'm
portant as making an early start.
About the time the more hardy vege-
tables are planted in the garden the
seeds of tomato, eggplant, and pep
pers should be started in "a window
box indoors. BY the time the ground
and the air are warm these plants will
be Of good size and ready to set in
the garden. In the meaNtime few
"'frestproof'' or hardy cabbage plants
may be set out. Next VIII come the
planting of snap or string beans. Then
follows the planting Of Lima beans,
summer squashes, melons OF all kinds,
and other of the more tender vege-
tables.
Remember the Greens, Too.
And don't forget the greems. We all
need more greens In our diet. Spinach,
kale, and turnips will keep you sup
piled with green's during the late fall
and early winter, but you should have
q bed of spinach planted now, in the
Gulf Coast region, for early spring
greens. Early turnips and beets are
excellent for use as green's and later
you can have delicious Swiss chard.
Bassella withstands heat and makes
satisfactory summer greens. The
main point in getting the most out of
your garden is to begin early and keep
going throughout the entire season,
making every foot of land produce to
the limit.

CHICKENS NEED GREEN FEED
Greatest Value Is Succuience, and
Salts It Contains are Great As
sistance 10 Digestion.

In nutritive elements, green foods
contain SO little strength that if their
only claim to poultry favor was on
that account they would have been
discarded long ago. Their greatest
value is their succulence, and the salts
they contain, which promote digestion.
Green feed in the winter poultry ra-
ton helps to keep laying stock in
good tone. 1t assists digestion, and
many poultry keepers use 1t for that
reason and because it increases egg
production.

SEWERS COST 100 p. c. MORE.
Predicted nj Meeting Of Street and Sewer
Department.

An increase in the assessment for sewers,
amounting possibly to 100 per cent,
was forecast at Yesterdays meeting OF
the Board Of Street and Sewer Commls-
sioners. A resolution fixing the rates to
be charged for sewer assessment had It's
FIRST and second reading. The figures were
left blank, and will be filled in when the
resolution is finally passed. Charles L..
Maier. engineer of the development, pre-
sented figures which were not released Tor
publication but which showed that the
burden upon taxpayers In general would
be reduced il the owners of abuttlng prop
ertv were required to pay larger pro-
portion of the cost of installing sewers.
In fixing the rate of assessment Tor
sewers the commissioners are acting
upon authority granted them BY an act
of the Legislature, April II, 1916. Until
this act was passed, the Legislature had
to make every change IN the rate. In the
original law the rate was fixed at 5o cents
n front foot abutting on the sewer and on
one cent square foot up TO depth OF l5o
feet. An amendment increased this TO 75
cents 0 front foot and ! u cents square
foot. A second increase of like amount Is
now under consideration.
Mr.. Maier said yesterday that the
property owners paid Just share of the
installing sewers under the present rate ol
assessment in former years, but that ar
increase of 300 per cent in labor cost
and from 30 to 40 per cent in cost ol
materials has taken place. All of this IN
crease is now thrown upon the taxpayer
and in making an increase IN assessment
upon the owner of abutting property the
Street and Sewer Commissioners propose
to relieve other taxpayers of the excse-
sive proportion of the cost OF sewer m
stallation which they pay at present.
