KOHLRABI-.-A NEW
GARDEN CROP
1t is Hardy tU Frost, Thrives in Cold
Weather, and is Delicious When
Properly Cooked.

1t is always interesting to grow
crop new to your garden. 1t gives
you broaded knowledge and increas-
es the amount of food you can grow.
Kohlrabi is one of the crops for you
to try.
Kohnlrabi Is so little grown in home
gardens that most people think it is
hard to raise. But it may be grown
as easily as the turnip, and you know
that anyone can grow turnips. A few
week after the Kohlrabi plants come
up, the stems just above the ground
swell out to diameter of 2 or 8
inches, making an edible ball that is
DELICIOUS when picked early and pro-
perly cooked. After standing too
long the balls become woody and
worthless.
Kohlrabi is one of several edible
members of the cabbage group. Like
its relatives, it is hardy to frost and
thrives best in cool weather. While
it Is sometimes started under glass in

crop is usually grown outdoors from
the first.
In August sow seed for fall crop.
Store and surplus stems of this fall
crop in sand in the vegetable cellar.
Buy packet or an ounce of seed.
Prepare, rich, mellow soil throughly.
Apply dressing of commercial ferti-
lizer and work it in. Line the rows
ID inches apart. Make the drills an
inch deep. Sow the seeds sparsely
three or four to the inch. Weed as
needed. Hoe early and often, but do
not get the soil into the swoolen part
OF the stem. Thin to 6 inches apart.
Pull the plants and cut off the swoolen
parts of the stem as they reach a da-
meter of 2 inches.
Kohnlrabi is subject to attack by
many OF the same enemies as the cab
bage, so it is we'll not to plant it in
soil where cabbages grew the year
before. AS a rule there is very little
trouble from insect enemies.

CRATIC CONVENTION

San Francisco, June 19.--(By the
Associated Press. s.)-Visitors to the
Democratic national convention will
see but few reminders of the old, ro-

from the gold-streaked reaches of
the Sierras and threw fstfuls of

counters for whatever they wished
to purchase.
