I have been able to persuade the
owner of the cedar trees either to
agree to cut them down or to pick off
the cedar apples. This latter process,
of course, is not practical except where
the number Of cedars is very limited.

at Zumbra Heights, near Lake Mime

have been able to control the rust in

been somewhat unusual. Z

GARDEN PRODUCTS EASILY
STORED FOR WINTER USE
Value of Garden Should Extend Into
Winter-Proper Storage Prevents
Rot and Drying Out.

Prepared by Office of Publications,
University Farm. st. Paul)
Ventilation, temperature, drainage
and cleanliness are vital factors in the
successful storing of vegetables for
late fall and winter use.
"The value Of the vegetable garden
should not end with the coming of
winter" says w T. Tapley, professor
Of horticulture of the university's. de-
partment of agriculture. Products.
from the garden can be made available
for winter use by two methods, pre-
serving and storing. At least 20 dis
tinct kinds of vegetables can be kept
lin the fresh state by proper storage.
Besides potatoes, the list includes
beets, carrots, horse-radish, parsnips,
winter radish, rutabaga, satisfy, turn
fps, kohlrabi, cabbage, celery, leeks,
chicory, parsley, onions, dry beans,
pumpkins, squashes and sweet pota-
toes.
"The factors favoring successful
storage are those which prevent rot,
decay, and drying out. Temperature
should be low enough to prevent decay.
and sufficiently high to protect from
frost; for most vegetables this is from
$40 to $50 Good ventilation is neces-
sary, dead air favors decay and &C
emulation of moisture on roof or
walls Of storeroom Roots or tubers
should be mature and free from
bruises. Better results are obtained if
there is free air circulation. It is not
wise to make bins large nor to pile
roots too deeply. A depth Of four or
five feet will prevent overheating.
Onions, squash, and cabbage keep best
in single layers on open racks.
| "Since excessive moisture favors de-
cay the storage room should have per-
lfect drainage. One of the most i'm
portant factors is that of cleanliness.
BE careful that vegetable tops are not
mixed in with roots. Clean up the
storage cellar before using. Bacteria
ind fungi flourish in rubbish and decay
ing matter. If these conditions are
carefully followed there should be an
available supply of vegetables for the
table throughout the winter

inQ Nuisance.

Everywhere the motorist travels the
natural beautiful scenery is married
by glaring signs, not only, small
boards but immense structures often
q hundred feet or more in length and
twenty Or more feet In height.
Just at a bend in the road where
the tourist expects to have a fine
view sweeping over a broad valley the
scene is completely cut off by mon
strous and offensive structure covered
with a flaring advertisement.
At some points both sides Of the
road will be lined with these unsightly
and ugly advertising walls.
In England the disfguring Of fences,
buildings and other places with signs
is prevented by law on the ground that
the good taste Of the people is offend
ed and the landscape dishgured.
Some OF the worst OfrenderS are
manufacturers who are interested in
the development Of motoring. They
have boarded up the roadways along
the whole eastern part Of the United
States, much to the annoyance Of
motorists and the Disagreement Of the
landscape.
II the nuisance cannot be stopped

agree not to patronize any concern

beauty Of our cou.4try and the pleas

GIBSLAND HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

On Thursday afternoon, Nov. 10, our
basket ball boys will play the team
from Taylor on the home court.
The eighth grade having the fewest
tardy and absent marks Of any grade
7 in high school has the privilege OF
marching out first this month.
The enthusiasm of the teachers ana
pupils who are concerned in the de-
clamation contest, is worked up to the
highest point and the school that beats
US, if any does, will have to work
night and day.
The girls are practicing on their
basket ball team and will soon be
ready for a mach game with some
other school.
Next Tuesday morning the 18th and
9Th grades, under the supervision OF
Miss Shirley Harrell, will entertain in
the auditorium. Last Tuesday the en-
tire school joined in singing. A few
more parents than usual were present
and we hope that the number will be
increased next week.

leans. is in Arcadia this week in the
interest of that organization. Mr.
Moody was a caller at the Democrat
office, and speaking Of the purposes OF
the society stated that 1t was at tnls
time emphasizing Normal homes for
normal children. In these homes
children become 'Home-ized rather
than institutiOnalized. In the first
home the child has the opportunity OF
learning the duties, obligations, habits
and environments of home life, and
when it goes out of one home into its
after home it finds similarity OF
environment as does a fish going from
one stream into another"
The society is supported by dona'
tons or memberships, and the purpose
of Mr.. Moody's visit here was to Sc
cure memberships.
