Garden Notes
(By M. A. c. Horticultural Dept

Plants of late celery, late cabbage,
and cauliflower are commonly set dur
ing the first two weeks in July.
A good distance for planting the late
large growing varieties of cabbage and
cauliflower is 211S by 81 feet.
The soil should be moist and well
prepared for planting, otherwise trans
planting from the seed bed into the
garden or field may not be successful
unless the plants are carefully 'water-
ed in"
White or light colored stalks of celery
are secured by blanching, which con-
sists of growing the plants in darkness
so that the coloring matter of the stem
is destroyed. Blanching also makes
the stalks more crisp and tender and
improves the quality.
Early celery is most easily blanched
by setting up boards abont 12 inches
wide against the plants each side of
the row. On small scale in the home
garden each individual plant may be
carefully wrapped by hand with good
heavy paper. The blanching operation
usually requires about 2 or weeks.
When blanched in this manner a dis
tance of 211S feet is sufficient.
Late celery is best when blanched by
banking with soil. Commonly the
plants are set inches apart in rows
not less than 80 or feet apart, but
you will find that 5 or even feet is
better especially for the large growing
varieties.
Chinese cabbage or "celery cabbage"
is best grown as a fall crop. Seed
should be sown during the latter part
of July so that the crop will mature
during the cool fall months.

Legislature Is
Re-cOnvened
Met Yesterday To Amend the
Soldier Bonus Bill.

Lansing.-Governor Alex ]. Groes-
beck has issued a proclamation call
ing the legislature for another special
session to convene Thursday, June 30,
at l o'clock, to act upon the soldier
bonus legislation.
The legislature will be asked to
consider several plans to make the
bond issue popular. One of these is
to make the issue tax exempt, al
though Representative George Lord,
the financial expert of the house,
hoMs the belief that this is beyond
the Power of the legislature under the
constitution. He suggests instead that
the rite of interest be raised to per
cent. and that a specific tax of one
half Of l per cent be imposed. Some
Of the bankers who have conferred
with the state administrative board
are insistent that the increased rate
be considered.
Another proposal is to issue per
cent notes for several millions to
tide over the present, and to issue
the bonds when the market is more
favorable. Failing all else, it is Gov
ernor Groesbeck's intention to appeal
to the public to take up the bonds.
1t Is believed that such a drive would
be successful if the bonds were issued
in denominations of $50 and upwards
instead of $1,000.
II the legislature remains in session
only two days, the time considered
adequate by Governor Groesbeck, the
special session will cost about $1,000.
II il remains for 10 days, the time
given as a minimum by members now
in Lansing. ii will cost about $4,000.
The fact that the difference is not
proportionate to the number of days
Is due to a provision that the state
must pay mileage of members COM
ing to and returning from sessions,
regardless of the length of the ses-
sions
The members receive SIS a day, dur
days that the legislature is tech
aically in session. This includes the
period between actual adjournment
apd the technical final adjournment.
Vhose familiar with legislative GUS
:om say that, even though the actual
work were completed in the two days
considered necessary by the govern
or, the technical adjournment would
probably be delayed 10 days so that
The members would receive $50 pay

Conferences Spur
Farm Workers
Build Up Community Spirit. Give
Agriculture Dignity.

Farmers and rural workers in Michi-
gan are tackling their problems with
clarified vision following the series OF
conferences at M. A. G. at East Lansing
last week at which economists, minis
ters and agricultural leaders of note
gave timely addresses.
With ministers and boys and girls
club workers already in attendance,
the ranks of visitors were swelled by
several hundred members of the Michi-
gan Farmers Tour Association who
came to M. A. C.. for a short encamp-
ment and reunion. During the latter
part of the week the consolidated
schools conference drew large num-
ber of rural teachers and educational
leaders. At the same time 26O veter-
inarians, more than half of those prac-
ticing in the state, were attending the
educational conference preparing them
for the government tuberculin testing
examinations on Saturday.
Big ideas stressed during the con-
ferences were the need of institution
alizing agriculture as an industry so as
to make farming an attractive career
for the country boys with most am
bition, and the need OF further cooper
alton and development of the commun-
ity spirit.
Prof. Thomas Nixon Carver, famous
economist and sociologist at Harvard
university, was the outstanding figure
of the week with his series of address,
es. Other significant speeches were
given by Prof. G. F. Warren of Cor
nell, Rev. Lloyd Douglas of Ann Arbor
and Dean Mary E. Sweeny and Prof.
w. H. French of M. A. C. A number
of profitable round table discussions
were also held.
Recreation was big feature of the
week. Baseball, volleyball, motion
pictures. community singing and
inspection tours of the M. A. c. farm
made the spare hours fly fast

MRS. JAMES NICE
SERIOUSLY INJURED
In FALL FROM STEPS

Mrs. James Nice received compound
fracture of the right leg, below the
knee, with probably other internal in
juries, in fall at her home on North
Main street, Saturday afternoon.
She was descending the stairs at the
back of the house and, when on the
last step, her slipper caught in some
manner throwing the ankle over and
twisting the body in the fall.
Since the accident she has been con-
fined to her bed, unable to move, and
it is thought possible that in the fall
her hip was thrown out oil joint.

UNIQUE CHARACTER
IZATION IN "SUDS"
TO BE SEEN

Having won the hearts of the world
and established herself as the greatest
exponent of child characters on the
stage and screen, the ever versatile
Mary Pickford will be seen at the
Temple Theatre Monday, July 4th, in
"Suds", a United Artists photoplay of
an entirely different nature to anything
in which she has heretofore appeared.
The theme of "Suds" is based on
Maude Adams famous play, SOP O. Me
Thumb" which she presented for a
long time at the Empire Theatre in
New York as well as on her triumphal
tours of America.
For several years Miss Pickford has
had the character of Amanda Afflick in
mind and has been waiting the op-
portunity to present ii in the proper
settings.
Since the completion of "Pollyanna'
in the latter part of 1919, Miss Pickford
has been at work with her staff of
assistants on "Suds". Over four
months were spent in the adaptation OF
the story for the screen by several of
the best scenario writer's in the photo
play profession.
Jack Dillon is director in charge of
'Suds", and he, together with Waldo
mar Young who wrote the scenario,
have worked with Miss Pickford ever
since she first contemplated the play
for production.
Miss Pickford in "Suds" is an entirely
new Mary Pickford. The play is
screamingly funny throughout except
ing for the bit of pathos which is in
troduced in her hopeless love affair
which is really only in the flights OF
her very vivid imagination.
This production will show off the
dramatic and artistic ability of the little
star to an advantage never before seen.
