ROOM FOR YOUNGER CRITICS
They Have Place in the World and
Duty That Is Well Worth
Performing.

The younger critics, says Haywood
Broun, are the lineal descendants of
that little child in Anderson's fairy
tale who, when the emperor was be-
ing made a spectacle Of and all the
world was being fooled by the sharp
tailor, refused to be quiet and cried
out, "He hasn't got anything on" These
young enthusiasts who have no posi-
tons to lose and no dignities to live
up to 60 about pointing to all our
literary emperors and calling attention
to the scantiness of their attire eof
greatness, and refuse to be silenced
by their scandalized or terrified elders.
Good sense bids us welcome their hon
est gaze at even the sacrosanct per-
sons. 1t can't hurt anything really
fine, and it's about time we came out
Of some of our illusions. William AL
len White sized it up about right from
the conservative point of view when
he said in praising MAIN Street.: "Of
course, I'm on the other side of the
street myself, but that's just the rea-
son why l like this book. It gives us
fellows something to answer"

Paintings of perennial fruit and
vegetables add to- the interest and
value of every home garden. In To-
calities where they may be grown,
some fruit trees and bush fruits should
be planted wherever space permits. In
addition to the small fruits there are
a few permanent vegetables which
should not be overlooked.
One of these is asparagus, which
will thrive almost anywhere, provided
1T is planted in good soil. A plot Of
ground 10 to 20 feet square in one
corner of the garden will supply all of
the asparagus needed by an average
family.
A few hills of rhubarb in sections
where 1t will grow can be planted
along the garden fence and furnish
the family supply. The same is true Of
horse radish and of number of the
herbs, including thyme, tarragon, sage.
Grapes of the type and variety
suited to the locality should always be
included in the home garden. These

EARLY POTATOES
VERY IMPORTANT
Some Essential Points in Grow
ing That Average Gardener
Is Apt to Overlook.
FOOD SUPPLY MUST Be READY
Good, Plump, Disease-Free Seed and
Plenty of Fertilizer Are Essential

ing or Spraying.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Irish potatoes are grown in most
home gardens, but there are just a
few points in the potato-growing game
that the home gardener is likely to
overlook which are very important.
First of all, potatoes grow quickly, and
their food supply must be all ready
and waiting for them in the soil. Sec
ond, they are heavy feeders and want
plenty to draw upon. In other words,
the soil for Irish potatoes must not
only be rich but it must be rich in
plant food Of certain kinds. Land that
was well MANFRED the previous sea-
son, and which contains plenty of or
ganic matter is best. The first step
in preparing the soil will be to spade
or pillow it in to a depth of eight or
nine inches, then break up the clods,
IL there be any, and pulveriZe the soil
practically as deep as it is spaded or
plowed.
How to Use Fertilizer.
Common fertilizers give good re-
suits for growing potatoes, especially
if the fertilizer contains potash, as po-
tatoes require more potash than is
usually present in the soil. Fertilizer
manufacturers mix special brands for
potatoes, and these are generally rath-
er rich in potash. How much fertil-
izer to use will depend upon the fertil-
ity of the soil, but as a rule eight
pounds to each 100 feet of row will
be about right. A good way to ap-
ply the fertilizer is to make the holes
or burrows and drop the pieces of seed
potato, cover them with an inch or
two of soil, then scatter the fertilizer
along the row so that it will become
we'll mixed with the soil in completing
the covering of the seed. Another
method is to scatter the fertilizer in
the furrow and mix it with the soil be-
fore dropping the pieces of seed po-
tato.
Best Kind of Seed.
Small, shriveled potatoes, left in the
bottom of the barrel at the end of win
ter, are not fit for seed. Only plump,
disease-free potatoes, on which the
sprouts are beginning to start, should
be used for seed. Seed grown in
Maine, New York, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, or some other special seed produc-
ing section will as rule give best re-
suits Seedsmen get the seed potatoes

walk where they require no extra
space. Four to six vines Of the stand
ard varieties, and one or two of the
southern type in their proper locality,
will be sufficient.
In planning the garden, plant the
perennial things where they will not
interfere with the preparation of the
ground and the cultivation of the regu-
lar vegetable garden. Place them
around the outbuildings, along the
fences and in the corners where they
will not be in the way. Bulletins tell
ing how to cultivate the various small
fruits can be obtained from the United
States Department of Agriculture.

ing cut into chunky pieces having at
least one good eye to piece.
Seed potatoes should not be cut I'M
til all ready to plant. Whenever seed
potatoes are cut and allowed to stand,
the cut surfaces dry out, turn black
and the seed loses vitality very rap
idly. Scabby or diseased seed pota-
toes should not be used for planting.
The variety of potatoes to plant will
depend largely upon locality. Irish
Cobbler is one of the leading early va
rieties while Rural New Yorker, Early
Ohio, Triumph, Green Mountain, and
others are grown extensively. Plant
the variety most commonly grown in
the locality, but be sure that the seed
is free from disease and is in good,
sound condition.
Furrow System Economical.
A much simpler irrigation system
consists of small burrows, made along
the rows of plants, which are filled
with water. After the water has
soaked into the soil the burrows
should be filled with dry soil. In or
der to irrigate by the furrow system
the land must be reasonably level or
slope gradually in one direction. Lit
tie banks of earth can be put in the
furrow at intervals to hold the water
from flowing to the lower end, thus
distributing it to every part of the
row.
Do not plant potatoes too deep.
-Four inches is about the proper depth.
Leave the surface almost level and
see that there are no clodS, stones, or
pieces of sod directly over the hills

crops to plant in the springtime, and
It is safe to put the seed in the ground
two or three weeks before the date
of the last heavy frost. In case there

come up, cover them with an inch or
two of loose earth to protect them.
They may be uncovered as soon as
the weather warns up or they come
up through the soil themselves.

LATE CROP AFTER POTATOES
Corn Can Be Planted Between Rows
About Two Weeks Before Tubers
Are Harvested.

In most sections the early potatoes
can be followed by late crop of sweet
corn planted between the rows of po-
tatoes about two weeks before the
potatoes are dug. Late cabbage plants
can be set between the rows of po-
tatoes, then the soil worked about the
cabbage plants when the potatoes are
dug. Turnips can be grown broadcast
on the land after early potatoes. Late
potatoes, planted about June 1 to 20
in the north and late in July in the
south, occupy the ground until frost
and produce the main supply for win
ter use.

Should Succeed.

Glover is sometimes seeded with
oats to be used for pasture. If not
pastured too closely and if live stock
are prevented from trampling the
field when wet, the clover should sue
coed. However, chances for the
success of the clover are improved if
the oats is cut for hay.

BIG VIRTUE OF SANDY SOILS

lily, But 1t Dries Out Quickly
Clay Holds Water.

The chief virtue of sandy soil is that
the roots of plants can pass through it
readily; its chief fault Is that it dries
out too quickly. Clay soil holds water
well, but it tends to pack and harden.
Both types of soil need stable manure
it loosens up clay and helps sand TO
