prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
To get the most out of the home
garden a number of crops, such as
snap beans, beets, lettuce, radishes
and peas. should be planted at inter
walls to insure a continuous supply. In
the case of snap beans as many as five
paintings may be made in some sec
tons of the country. In the southern
part of the United States special at
tentiOn should be given to the late
planting of the semihardy crops for
late fall and winter use. These crops
include spinach, kaIe, cabbage, col
lardS, turnipS, lettuce and winter
onions. The late-planted crops gen
orally give the best vegetables for
winter storage. Beans, peas. carrots
and beats for canning purposes should
be grown either very early in the sea-
son or quite late, in order to get the
finest quality of canned goods. A late
planted crop of snap beans often
yields an abundant supply of very
tender pods which are ready for can
ming just before the first frOsts. These
usually make a better quality of
canned product than do those grown
at a time when they mature during
the heated portion of the season.
Too much stress cannot be placed
upon the need for gardeners to pro-
duce Irish potatoes during the remain
der of the season. 1t is now time to
begin thinking about planting a late
crop in sections where a late crop is
grown. In the southern part of the
United States a late crop may be
planted in July or August, provided
enough moisture is in the ground to
give the seed q start.
Gardeners are advised to plant the
standard crops and varieties, leaving
the fancy kinds of vegetables and the
novelties off their list.
Throughout the greater portion of
the South a very excellent crop Of

Standardization, moreover, elimi-

erly TO classify products before ship
ment frequently results in deteriora-

vented by sorting products into grades

each grade separately to minimize con-

sweet potatoes may be grown by TAX
ing vine cuttings from those that have
been previously planted and inserting
these in ridges in place of rooted
plants. The sweet potatoes grown
from vine cuttings are usually free
from disease and are smooth and uni
form, making them very desirable for
winter storage.
In many sections peas can be plant
ed as late as September and will yield
a very nice crop before cold weather
sets in. For this purpose the early
or understanding sorts should be
used.
Can or Store Vegetables.
Large quantities of garden vegeta-
bles are lost through want of suitable
means of taking care of the surplus
This can be done either by canning or
by storage, depending upon the kind
of vegetable to be cared for. The Sc
cret of filling the pantry shelves with
canned goods is to can little every
day during the season when vegeta-
bles are plentiful in the garden. Stor-
age facilities either in the form OF a
special room in the cellar or u suitable
outdoor storage pit should be provided.
In a few instances arrangements with
the local cold storage or ice factory for
the partitiOning off of a small cOmpart-
ment in their ice storage room in which
vegetables that should be stored at a
temperature near the freezing point
may be kept. This class of storage is
especially desirable for apples and
Irish potatoes. Sweet potatoes should
always be stored in a warm place and
given plenty of ventilation.
In planning the garden operations
for the balance of the season, it is well
to take into consideration all Of the
above features. First, grow the kind
of vegetables that are needed for can
ming and storage; and, second, make
provision TO can or store all that are
not needed for Immediate use.

Hens Are Permitted to Become

If the best results are to be expect

be allowed to become overrun with

there will be place in the yard where
the hens can dust themselves in the

place, a box about 2 feet square and
containing ordinary road dust or fine

FARMERS Do WELL
Record Prices Paid Wheat Grow.
erS of Western Canada.
Will Get Above 20 Cents Over the
Fixed Scale Set-World Looking
to the Dominion for Its
Grain.

It will be OF interest to many read
ers to learn that their farmer friends
In Canada will do so well out of the
prairies last year.
There was a fixed price OF 81. 10 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
son.
Not knowing the price at whicE 1t
would be possible to market the crop,
the Canadian grain board, which Or
ganization handled the whole OF the
crop last summer, fixed sd as min
imum price for No. l wheat. and ar
ranged that each farmer should be
given certificates for the quantity OF
wheat he delivered. Tie amount re-
ceived over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
selling their wheat was TO be divided
pro rata at the end of the season, and
the holders of these certificates will,
therefore, participate in the extra
price received according TO the guam
tity of wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 40 cents
. bushel over the fixed rate of $2.15 a
bushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about $40.00O.00O will
be distributed among the farmers Of
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference in
the price at which the wheat crop was
sold and the price that was fixed for
last seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat in Demand.
declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this year
at between So and So per buShel, was
made recently before a conference Of
western supporters of the government
by Drs Robert MagilI. who was one of
a deputatiOn from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. MagiII argued in IA
vor of open trading from the aspect
of world conditions. He stated that
no wheat could be exported from Rus
STA owing to internal troubles.
ROumania would have absolutely
none to export, India was prohibiting
export, while Australians acreage
would fall from 100000 to 100000
The result would be that Australia
would scarcely have enough to feed
herself, and there would be absolute
iy no wheat for Europe. except from
1no argentine anu INOTIn ALH0EICd.

nouncement, though it would be i'm

FOWLS FOR BACKYARD FLOCK
Good Standard Quality fer Egg
Production.

For the backyard flock. kept to pro-
duce eggs only, it is not necessary to
have hens of extra good standard
quality. What breeders of standard
poultry call choice utility hens are as
good as any for egg production, and
cost but little more than ordinary
mongrels. Hens of this grade in the
medium-sized breeds are usually a
little under standard weights, and
have superficial faults-as unSOund-
ness of color, or irregularity Of mark
ingS or of the shape of the comb
which in nc way affect their laying
capacity, but make them unfit for ex-
hibitiOn and undesirable for breeding
purposes.
When buying hens in person, par
ticular attention should be given to
