Relief.

The near east looks to America
for salvation, said Miss Josephine
Huse, former Fullerton, Neh,, girl,
who arrived yesterday from two
years service in orphanages OF ST.
don, Syria, run by American ben
ehcence.
THE need is far greater there to-
day than it was before the armis-
tice because peace has not yet come
to Turkey; fighting has never
ceased there" Miss Huse declared.
Near east service is still fraught
with danger for Americans in the
Caucasus and Armenia, she said.
The British government called
back all relief workers, but Amer
leans went back on their own re-
sponsibility, surrendering their pass
ports to the British consul before
they went back into the danger
zone"
The big need is to support the
orphanages in which all children un-
der 9 are reared.

that they may be self-supporting."

Garden Notes

A succession of bunch beans planted
every two weeks will keep up the sup
ply regularly. A few hills at time
Of pole beansin well fertiized hills with
pole to climb will furnish better
quality, but are little more,trouble. A
couple of rows of corn for roasting ears
with running beans planted with them
will answer the same purpose and will
be less trouble than either of the other
ways and will furnish succession corn
and beans both.
II strawberries were not set ont in
the early spring they can be put out
any time up to June or early July with
assurance of good crop Of berries
next year. No garden should be with
out a few rows. The Klondyke is a
prolific berry hardy and Wig rous, but
berries are of poor quail ty for home use
as compared with Brandywine, Lady

ties.
1t is time now for csnteloupe and
water melon planting and we have our
ground broken and ready. Few people
in this community have been able to
produce canteloupes in the last few
years because of the pickle worm. The
parent insect which is sbeautful yellow
moth deposits the eggs in the little
melon about the time the bloom drops
and the egg matches inside that melon
when the melon is about grown, eats
around in it and grows to worm an
inch long and bores out thru the surface
and enters the ground where he de
velops into moth. As a result of his
boring In the melon it rots before ripen-
ing. And in spite of various remedies
being offered no effective remedy is
known. Spraying the vines often a
bout blooming time helps but docs not
prevent. We are trying a planting of
these melons any way, for some years
the worm does not to.her.
Gardeners who want big fine toma-
toes all summer and fall should pre-
pareland plant second lot of vines. The
first early ones will bear good crop
and after that the fruit will be small
and inferior, while others set out In
June will produce big tomatoes till
frost.
May is busy month for transplant
ing sweet potato plants in this section.
Prospects are for big planting thru
