PLANT SWEET CORN
In HOME GARDEN

No spring and early summer garden
is complete without sweet corn, COM
monty called sugar com" by south
ern seedsmen, says George L. Tiebout,
horticulturalist of the Louisiana State
University, Extension Division. The
roasting ears from the common field
varieties of corn may be good, but
genuine sweet (sugar) corn is so much
better, according to Mr.. Tiebout. Con-
tinuous supply of corn is obtained by
making successive paintings in intervals
of a week or ten days, beginning as
soon as the soil warns up in the spring
and continuing for eight to ten weeks
depending on the season.
Stowels Evergreen is one of the best
all-round varieties of sweet corn. Start
this variety and Howling Mob at the
same time and gather the roasting ears
little earlier from the Howling Mob
than from the StoweIl's Evergreen, as
it is an earlier corn. Hereafter Sto-
wells Evergreen may be planted as
heretofore mentioned and the roast
ing ears gathered till the heat of the
summer stops the feast.
1t is said that sweet corn, to be the
most palatable, should be gathered
when it is just entering the dough
stage.

we have leaders. The human family

Men who would be builders of our

faith in humanity. Truth is in too great

short of an honest attempt at full re-
alization of the vision caught of her.
Real men write or speak, not for mon

less than this is worse than nothing.

PLANT SNAP BEANS
AFTER FROST DANGER

AS soon as the danger of frost is
past, it will be time to plant snap beans
OF the bunch" or bush types, says
George L. Iiebout, horticulturi8t, Lou
isiana State University. Bush beans
with the green pods are represented
by the popular variety known as the
Black Valentine. This is the early ship
ping bean SO commonly planted by the
truck gardeners of Louisiana.
Another green podded bean that is
very tender and stringless is the Giant
Stringless Green Pod, variety used
by the Gamers. There is still another
type of beans known as the wax-pod-
ded sort, represented by the Currie' S
Rust Proof variety. Southern garden
ers are inclined toward the green beans
but are missing treat by not trying
some of the wax beans, according to
Mr.. Tiebout.
Bush beans are very COSMOPOLITAN in
their soil requirements. Give them a
good garden soil and away they go!
Plant on ridges or raised beds to pro-
duce good drainage and don't cover
the seed very deep. Several paintings
made at intervals of ten days to two
weeks will give plenty of snaps until
the pole sorts that are most heat-re-
sisting take their place.

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XLI.-WASHINGTON
THE story
!. ! !. !: !: !: ]. ]. !. !.
Ms%GM of Wash
NJ AAA ington, the
E AA for ty-second
V@ SB state of the
w ZH Union, is tied
NSS9 8 S%GW up with two
&AINS of our presi-
dents. The first is obvious, for
1t was in honor of our first presi-
dent, George Washington, that
the state was named, as last
ing memorial to this great sol
dier-statesman. But the actual
fate Of this region was due to
President Polk, and formed the
main issue in his campaign for
election in 1914.
Previous to that time, the
country north of California and
extending to Alaska, which was
then owned by Russia, was called
the Oregon territory. Claim was
laid to this region by both Great
Britain and the United States as
has been seen in the story of
Oregon. In 1918, when the boun-
dairy between Canada and the
United States was settled, this
line was definitely placed from
the Atlantic coast to the Rocky
mountains. But no agreement
could be reached west of that,
and it was left under an arrange
ment whereby this territory was
to be Jointly occupied by the
British and Americans.
Settlers from the United
States began to come into the
Northwest in such numbers that
the United States felt that they
should own this section, which
included the present states of
Oregon and Washington, and
British Columbia, through the
right of possession. Agitation
in favor of actively pushing our
claims became so strong that
when Polk was nominated by the
. Democrats in 1874, one of the
main planks in the party plat
form was the famous one popu-
larly called, "Fifty-four forty or
fight"
In 1916 a peaceful settlement
was made with England on a
compromise basis.
In 1858 Washington territory
was separated from Oregon. 1t
did not, however, become a state
until 1889, and then only after
thirteen years petitioning for ad-
mission.

 Perhaps it is the uniform or the pack on his back that he carries. for dogs usually have an innate hatred of peddlers," Winemiller says.
 Tn case a man is bitten the post master notifies the owner of the dog that no mail will be delivered until the dog is disposed of. Under postal laws a carrier need not deliver mail where there is a vicious dog.
