Bridging the big Muddy" at Yankton

there appeared on the Dakota side of
the stage the beautiful figure Of
Yankton, accompanied by her group
Of builders. Then, in ringing speech,
Yankton declared her determination TO
bridge the mighty Missouri and for
ever "bless the sister states and the
regions far beyond TO the north and
south" A bevy of little workers, rep
resenting Yanktonians and those in
the wide region on both sides of the
river among which were Sioux Falls,
Omaha. Norfolk and other cities, came
thronging in with their bags of gold,
laying them at Yankton's feet. The
Missouri recognized the invincible
spirit that had arisen at last TO curb
her power and retired from the stage
chanting song of submission.
The building of the bridge then
went forward, figures in Greek cos
tunes representing the piers. Upon
completion of the structure there be
gan the grand finals, which consist
ed of the triumphant professional
across the bridge.
The actual bridging of the Mis-
souri, at Yanllton. which already has
started, is scheduled to be finished by
1923.

Southern gardens begin to look
seedy about June 10, gardens in the
Middle states section are in the height
Of their glory, and the New England
gardens are just getting we'll started.
1t seems 10 be a foregone conclusion
IN the part of most persons through
out the Southern states that southern
gardens can be grown only in the
spring and in the fall, with a few
.hance hardy crops during the winter.
The farmer of the middle section
plants his spring garden, then gets
busy with farm crops, and very little
further attention is given the garden,
unless the work is done by the wom-
n. In the New England states and parts
Of the Northwest where the grow
ing season is quite short only one crop
Of most vegetables can be grown. In
the middle section, however, two
crops can often be grown on the same
land, and, more important still, con-
tinuous supply of peas, beans, sweet
corn, and number of other vegeta-
bles can be had by making successive
paintings

To get maximum production. however,
it is necessary to keep the land busy
all the time. This can be done two
ways; first by companion cropping,
and, second, by following one crop
with another or successive planting.
There are a number of crops that
lend themselves to companion crop
ping. For example, where onion sets
are planted in rows, say Is inches be-
tween the rows. row of radishes,
spinach, or lettuce can be drilled be-
tween the rows of onions and be off
the ground before the onions need the
space. Spinach, radishes, early beets,
or turnips can be planted between car
rots, parsnips, and satisfy. A crop Of
snap beans can frequently be grown
between the rows of tomatoes. Radish
seeds may often be planted alongside
row of peas, the radishes being
pulled and out of the way before the
peas begin to climb the trellis or
brush provided for their support or
to spread over the ground. A little
later in the season sweet corn or late
cabbage can be planted between the
rows of early Irish potatoes and make
considerable of a start before the
Irish potatoes are dug.
In the middle section, early peas
may be followed by late cabbage, late
potatoes, late snap beans, beets, or
turnips Early Irish potatoes may be
followed by turnips, late snap beans,
or by late sweet corn.
