PEPPER PLANTS NEED
EXTRA CARE TO GROW
Few Plants Required by the Az
erage Family.
Prepare Seed Bed by Forkina or
spadine to Depth Of 8 or inches,
Working in Well-Rotted Ma
nure and Fertilizer.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Sweet peppers, sometimes called
Chinese peppers and Mammoth pep
pers. are becoming more and more pop
ular as a crop for planting in the home
garden. Only few plants are neces-
sary to supply the family of average
size with all the peppers they will
want, but il takes good land and extra
care TO produce peppers of high quail
ity, say garden specialists of the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
Pepper plants are easily injured by
cold and the plants should be started
in the house. in a hotbed. or in a
greenhouse. Perhaps the best way is
TO purchase a dozen or so good plants
from some scotsman or plant grower.

cial fertilizer TO each square yard OF
space. This should be done at least q
week before the. pepper plants are set
out. Then loosen the surface thor
Oughly at the time the plants are set.
Frequent cultivation is necessary, and
an occasional application of weak Ii
quid manure TO the soil around the
plants will keep them growing vigor-
Ously. Large, tender peppers can only
be produced on thrifty plants, and in
order TO keep the plants producing all
the peppers should be kept picked off
and none allowed TO ripen.
Ruby King, Chinese Giant, and
Large Bell or Bull Nose are among the
leading varieties Of the large sweet
peppers. PimentO peppers are mild in
flavor and are largely grown in the
Southern states for making the pimen-
to picked peppers. The pimento pep
pers can be used in the same way as
the regular sweet peppers, or they may
be left on the plants until red ripe,
then used for canning.

LIBRARY WORK

library work has a great appeal
IL TO many women. A girl is sure
of a good deal Of liberty in such work,
can add 10 its value and interest If
she be so minded, and can feel fairly
certain OF permanent employment
But the salaries are small. very
small. Like the teacher, the librarian
must struggle 20 make both ends meet
and keep UP appearances. She has
usually had a thorough education and
a special training that has cost money.
Sometimes she begins her work with
debt 10 pay of. She often Injuries
her health in the attempt TO do this.
This is wrong.

could not afford 70 keep the position
we're IL not that she has small pri-
vate income TO help, and. no one de-
pendent upon her. She gets only $500

Libraries and library positions are
to see a great increase in the next few
years Clever and well-bred women
Will be in demand. But how can such
women afford, with living expenses
what they are, to take positions SO
poorly paid?
There must be a change in these
things.
The community must recognize that
positions of this kind, which are an as
set TO the whole neighborhOod, should
receive a fair return. good library

who work in it are we'll trained and
frst-class. Such cannot 90 on forever
making sacrifices because they wish
10 serve the community, and love the
labor they do
1t Is high time TO insist on proper
increase in library salaries.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT

By F. A. WALKER

three parts Of the body which longest
resist the disintegration which follows
death are the teeth. the finger nails
and the. hair, and Of these the last
two are very nearly of the same char
acter.
Which is getting some little way
distant from the contention that
blonde women are not fit for jury duty
because they are tickle.
Dido, queen OF Carthage, of whom
Virgil writes In the Aeneid, was not
tickle, although she. was a blonde. She
stuck 10 her hero through thick and
thin and killed herself with a sword
that he furnished.
Cleopatra, who had red hair, a
shade darker than the real blonde,
was not what one might call absolute
~ constant in her devotions. but in
modern society she might not be listed
as extremely tickle.
But the Analysing Of society, ancient
or modern, according 10 the color OF
the hair. would not furnish very sub
stantial basis for judging either wom-
en- or men. blondes or brunettes.
1t is what is just under their hair
that establishes the real qualifications
for any sort Of duty.
Brains are all one color.
If the color Of hair determined
ability what would become of the un-
fortunates who haven't any hair al
all?
Never mind about your hair, young
lady readers. Don't bother about its
color, and don't spend too much time
fixing" it,
II you are 10 be anxious about any
thing. be anxious about the inside OF
your head instead Of the outside
That's the side that counts.

BLONDES AND BRAINS

A LEARNED judge was recently
"A quoted as announcing from his
bench that he would not approve of
blonde ladies as members of jury
which was about 10 hear case under
his Jurisdiction.
Blondes are fickle," were the words
attributed 10 the justice, intimating
that fickleness is bar 10 what the
law is supposed 10 assure the person
on trial.
A year or so ago a big Western en-
ployer in advertising for office help
announced that he would not receive
the applications Of blondes, giving as
q reason that he had found them in
attentive to work and temperamental
in disposition.
There has always been a good deal
of discussion regarding the relative
attractiveness of blondes and bru-
nettes despite the fact that in the
long ago when the caveman was the
highest type of civilization, we were
all blonde, or at least red hair was
the darkest tint.
The reason why nature covered
primeval men and women with blonde
or red hair was twofold; that il
served the same purposes of low Wis
Utility which is gained by the animals
whose fur coats blend with the sur
roundings In which they live and the
fact that those colors better protected
the skin from the effects of direct sun
light.

prevailed because in the discovery of
almost every burial place Of people OF
that time light or reddishly tinged
hair has been found.

A knowledge of Weed Characteristics
Provides Means Of Control.

this theory is correct the weed-control
problem overshadOws all others with
which the farmer is confronted. Mod
ern agricultural science has discovered
much concerning the control and Grad
ication of these insidiouS land thieves.
The wild onion, for example, was con-
sidered hopeless problem from Mas
sachusettS TO Georgia, and as far west
as Missouri and Arkansas until a weed
specialist in the Department of Agri-
culture discovered that the plant pro-
duced two kinds Of bulbs. One type
was soft-coated, and formed the new
plants during late summer and fall !;
the other was hard so that il was I'M
harmed by winter, and ready TO form
the new plants in the spring. With
this 10 guide them the specialists
proved that the wild onion can be con-
trolled by blowing deeply in the late
fall TO destroy the plants originating
from the sOft-cOated bulbs, and by
aplanting an intertilled crop, such as
corn, the following spring TO kill the
plants that come up from the hard
coated bulbs.
Weedy rOadSideS are constant
sources of trouble for the adjoining
farm lands. The seeds are carried
miles by automobiles, horses, and pass
ing wagons, so that they become a
menace to the whole community. If
nothing better can be done with the
roadside weeds they can be moved

kept up, will effectively check the trou-

the farmers whose land ii borders.
Control Measures.
The underlying principles Of weed
control are shown in these rulesD by
the specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture:
Use pure seed.
Rotate the farm crops
Utilize pasturing animals, particu-
larly sheep and goats, in keeping
weeds down.
Never allow weeds 10 mature. Now
before the seeds have ripened
Use intertilled crops, and cultivate
often.
Kill weeds while they are young by
means of q harrow or a weeder.
Compost manure for two months be-
fore using II IL contains weed seeds.
Practice surface cultivation after
the crops have been removed in the
fall.
Use smother crops; buckwheat, soy
beans, cowpeas. velvet beans, clover.
etc.
Chemical poisons often are helpful.
Prepare the seed beds thoroughly TO
give the crop start over the weeds.
Use winter cover crops.
Hunt out the scattered weeds. and
kill them.
Nov dangerous grasses and burn
the dry cuttings.
Small patches of perennial weeds
can be killed by covering for the en-
tire season with building paper. boards.
or other materials 10 exclude the light.
Kill the roots OF perennial weeds by
keeping the tops cut down.
Grow alfalfa. when practicable, on
ed-infested land.
Soil Improvement by the use OF lime
or green manure will help 70 control
the weeds.
Soiling crops prevent the weeds from
reaching maturity.

NEW DASH OF COLOR
ADDED TO LAST NIGHTS
HAPPY CANYON SHOW
Management and Actors Com
bined Last Night in Offering
a. Pleasing Performance.

Aided by the weather mans better
frame of mind and spurred on by the
consciousness that the Roundup it
self had just opened for a successful
first day in the afternoon, Happy Can
yon's management and actors com
bined last night in an offering of the
night show which proved eminently
satisfactory to the crowd that COM
fortably filled the stands.
New dashes of colors not possible Of
presentation the first night were fea-
lures in the Thursday night show, and
that other quality which Roundup
crowds are ever keenly interested in,
Thrills, was enjoyed. Wild John Day
again furnished his part of the unex-
pected when his bucking horse toppled
back on him. The Grant county man
was knocked out for few seconds but
came back, none the worse for his
spill except bruises.
Singers Get Hands.
The special soloists, prevented from
being present Wednesday night on ac-
count of the inhospitable weather,
made up in spirit last night for two
appearances. Horace L. Ensign, Mon
tana man, made a hit with the audi
ence, not only his singing pleasing, but
his personality getting across in effec-
tive manner.
With Miss Harriet Leach, it was not
necessary for an introduction because
the Portland singer was here last year
and her work at that time won for her
following with Happy Canyon
crowds. Her singing last night main
tanned her former reputation.
Chief Tall Pine, who stages the
genuine wild rattlesnake dance, had
better success last night than on the
first night when a rattlesnake pierced
his heavy leather glove with its fangs.
The chief got through his part of the
program Thursday night with no un-
toward accidents.
An even larger crowd was present
at the dance and in the gambling hall
following the program than was in at
tendance the first night, and judging
from the number of bucks that chang
ed hands, there was a real revival of
the gambling spirit of the early days.
