As Others See IT
THE VEGETABLE GARDEN

G1r3ti- Take pc~ior)
No vegetables those grown in ene's own gar
den at home. There is reason why fresh vegetables
should not be part of the daily of every home
AS the year begins attention should be dvoted to
the home garden and desirable crops planted says c.
McQuarrie, state agent of the agricultural extension
division.
Now is the time to prepare seed beds and the soil
for the garden. Frosts in Florida usually light
enough not to kill vegetables if given the protec-
tion of hot bed cold frame This makes pos
sibe for early vegetables.
is good practice to test seed for termination be-
fore planting in order to insure good stand Small
seed like cabbage and turnp, can be tested a hot
stove. Those that pop have vitality; the dead
burn. Large Seed like beets and sugar corn
can be tested by means of the rag doll tester This
consists in rolling the seeds in wet cloth and placing
the roll in a location After ten days, more or
less, open it and calculate the percentage of sproued
seed
Another point to consider is that of having fertile
soil Stable manure is one OF the best fertilizers
known. 1t should be well rotted and should have a
small percentage of straw manure. This should ap-
piled broadcast at the of ten tons an acre and
thoroughly mixed into the SOIL Stable manure raises
the temperature of the soil thus hasens the grow
ing of the plants. Commercial fertilizers should be used
at intervals during the growing period top dresser
to make the plants grow rapidly
Cabbage, caulifower, collard, eggplant lettuce to-
mato and onion seed can be sown in the seed bed in
January. DO not than 81 inch deep Tur-
nips beets and carrots should be planted in til field
early possible if not already planted Brussel
sprou plants should be set also in January Corn can
be planted danger of frost is over
An effort should be made to have new vegetables
every few days. This be done by planting new
ones between the rows every week or two. To keep
plants in such garden growing rapidly, it should be
remembered fertile soil is necessary

A FAMOUS TOAST

Here is a toast that l want to drink
To a fellow I'll never know
To the fellow who's going to take my
place
When it's time for me to go.
I've wondered what sort of chap
he'll be
And I've wished l could take his
hand
Just to Whisper, 81 wish you well, old
man."
In a way he'd understand.
l d like to give him the cheering
That I've longed at times to hear;
Id like to give him the warm hand
clasp
When never a friend comes near.
I've learned my knowledge by sheer
hard work
And wish. l could pass it on
To the fellow who'll come to take my
place
Some day when l am gone.
Will he see all the sad mistakes I've
made,
And note all the battles lost?
viii he ever guess of the tears they
caused
Or the heartaches which they cost?
Will he gaze. through the failures and
fruitless toll,
To the underlying plan
And catch glimpse of the real in
tent,
And the heart of the vanquished
man?
DR.. Frank Crane.

st. Peter, Mimi, August 19.-Few
towns in the new west can claim a
historical back ground of century
but st. Peter is one of them. 1t was
just about 100 years ago when Major
Stephen H. Long and the first Unit
ed States dragons camped on the
plateau between the Minnesota river
and the bordering bluffs, and today
old camp site, celebrated its arrival
into the class of centenarians by a
gay and graphic historical pageant
1t was, in fact, 'St. Peter Day." for
the whole Minnesota river valley and
the broad streets of the pioneer city
were crowded with arrivals from
every quarter of the country to aid
in the observance and participate in
the home coming Friday, which Is to
conclude the ceremonies.

The pageant last evening was held
at the county fair grounds and was
attended by about 5000 persons. II

500 acres, most of them being ST.
Peter residents, made the affair an
unusual success.
The spirit of the community, repre-
scented by Miss Dorothy Rost, opened
the pageant with speaking pro-
logue. State Senator Henry N. Ben
son acted as exposition. The prologue
was an impressive recital of the life
history of place fairly bursting with
historic interest, "the rich, full story
