Replying, in the Philadelphia Pub

dent Of that paper says that, COM
pairing fashions past and present, the
verdict is in favor Of the girls of to-
day:
Miss America Of to-day dresses
in the most natural simplicity and
with more good taste than ever be-
fore. The dresses Of her past moth
ers were freaks in comparison. The
hoop skirt. the pantalet, the hustle
and peekaboo shirtwaist were insane
absurdities. And the way they used
to dress their hair In the olden times
would make an Igorote envious.
Il can't help smiling when hear
some of these forty-year-olds, wo-
men and men, gasp at the girls of
to-day. The young must dance, and
dance their dance, not yours. This
Is their day, not yours"
There was more room" in the
country in the day Of the ample hoop

the most uncompromising Of stick
lers for old-style fashions would
shake their heads in emphatic dis
approval.
In trying to get around it they'd
be in danger Of colliding with the
speeding auto. 1t was a space-fller
which wouldn't work now-not to
mention the street-sweeping trains
of old, and other ancient" styles.
But the best word in this defense
OF modern womens styles in dress is

In the big cities.
There's paint and powder enough

the picture of perfect health and

my papers and think could find it,
through the mass of clippings that
I have accumulated during the last
sixty years.

rERrILrz1NG rRUCKK CROPS

Truck crops are destined to play
| more and more important part in
our agriculture. 1t is right and
roper, that this should be the case.
vt the present time the family diet
,ry is notably deficient in green
eaved vegetables, and in ali vegeta-
les in so far as that matter is con-
'erned. We are eating entirely too
much meat, with the result that the
system is overloaded with toxic poi
sons producing much preventable
sickness and tending to wear out and
break down the machinery of the
human being long before the time
nature intended.
There are very few towns and
cities in the country that are Well
supplied with truck crops. 1t has
always seemed strange that this in
dustry should be so greatly neglect
ed. We have many notable truck
states, but they are confined within
rather narrow limits, hence these
crops must be shipped long dis
tances at high freight or express
rates. Naturally they deteriorate
more or less in transit. Moreover,
when they reach the consumer their
cost appears to the housewife to be
prohibitive. While these areas will
always play an important part in
our trucking industry, there is room
and a demand for the development
of local truck patches in and around
every village and city of the United
States. There will be seasons of the
year when the products of these
lands will be in great demand, and
at substantial profit tot the grower.
There win also be a certain trade
which will prefer the homegrown
products.
The extent to which we have neg
lected the trucking industry is prob
ably we'll illustrated by the follow
ing facts: a gentleman who recently
purchased some tomatoes in Athens
inquired where they were grown. To
his establishment he found they were
being produced under glass in Gin
cinnati. Ohio. This seems like an
Incredible situation, but it was never
theless true.
There are at the present time
Great many people who are looking
for an opportunity to make some
money on the side. They are wonder
ing under existing conditions Just
what. they can do in 1921. Tt takes
very little capital to start truck

course, applies only to north Geor--
gia conditions. The crop would neeo

market in south Georgia at much
earlier date.
That truck lands should be we'll
prepared and broken up to a consid-
cradle depth is now quite generally
appreciated. 1t is doubtful. however,
il the Importance of this matter is
generally recognized as it should be.
There is an opinion that most vege-
tables grow very close to the surface
of the ground and that the roots Of
given plants occupy but small area
of land. Some very careful 1nvesti-
cations made with reference to this
matter indicate that both of these
conclusions are erroneous. AT Geneva
experiment station in New York. for
instance, it was found that such re-
Iatively small plants as lettuce sent
their roots into the soil to a depth
of twenty-five inches and that they
spread below the surface over an
area of twelve inches in extent. The
roots of spinach penetrate the soil
to a depth of "a inches, with a later
al spread of eighteen inches. The
English pea penetrates the soil to b
depth of thirty-nine inches. with d
spread of eighteen inches. The Gu
cumber penetrates the soil to a depth
Of twenty-four inches, with a spread
of twenty-eight inches. The beet
penetrates the soil to a depth OF
noh9S with fae+ spread OF
strate that truck soils must not only
be deep and friable, but that sufficient
spacing between the rows must be
given to permit of the generous de-
velopment of the root system.
Nitrogen is an important asset to
the truck grower. 1t has been said
that the eye of the master fattens
his cattle. 1t may also be said thai
the eye of the master grows his
truck crops out successfully. An
abundance of nitrogen means that the
plants will be green in color ana
vigorous in growth and development
The absence of nitrogen results in
stunted growth and in a yellow. sick
ly appearance. Frequent applications
of nitrate of soda are beneficial to
truck crops. One hundred to one hun
dred and fifty pounds may be used in
two or three applications. Balancing
the commercial plant food ration is
an Important matter. Applications
of 500 to 1000 pounds or more of
plant food per acre to truck crops are
now commonly made by our best
growers. Formulas used on these
crops should contain from 3.5 to
acid, and to per cent
potash.
