Importance

The very finest quality peas at the

They are intermediate and while they
may be grown as dwarfs and without
brushing, they bear better when given
the support Of low brush or a narrow
strip Of chicken wire. These are the
Gradus and Laxton types of pea,
which vary from 80 inches to almost
four feet, according to variety. All
do better with support, although COM
monty grown as dwarfs. They give a
heavier yield when held upright.

natures in eight weeks and is very
hardy and Of the finest quality. A
little earlier is Market Surprises
Alaska and Maud s., smoOthseeded
peas, still remain the earliest of all,
OF good quality if taken very young,
but not equal to the wrinkled vari-
eties, which are not so hardy and can
not be planted or cropped so early.
1t is possible with the variety Of
peas now on the market TO plan a
good succession planting, starting with
Alaska, Surprise. Little Marvel, Grad
us, Laxtonian and Thomas LaxtOn.
However, 1t Is better to depend up
on a successional planting a week or
ten days apart, as the season may be
such as to bring the cropping of diff
ferent peas too close together at ma
turity, If planted at the same time.
The planting of peas in double rows,
six inches apart, these double rows TO
be three feet apart, is about right for
the more dwarf varieties, but If the
more vigorous growing dwarfs are to
be planted they will need at least four
feet between the rows unless they are
given brush or wire.
The round seeded peas can go into
the ground as soon as 1t can be dug,
but 1t Is best TO wait week or two
for the wrinkled varieties TO be on
the safe side.
Rotation Is Necessary.
The peas should not be planted this
year in the same position that they
occupied last year. Neither should

ing. When any of these samples are
found to contain stock beet seed, the
senders will be notified before plant
ing time.
Similar tests made in the green
houses during the past year made pos
sible the location of mixtures con-
tanning stock beets of red, or orange
colored varieties. IT has been found
that white-fieshed varieties of stock
beets cannot be determined through
termination tests alone but must be
grown to a considerable size before
their distinguishing characteristics are
discernible. That the heavy losses eX-
perienced during the past two years
due to this cause constitute strong
argument for the development of an
American-grown supply of sugar-beet
seed, sufficient for the needs of our
beet industry, is the belief Of the
officials working on the problem.

A UNION OF

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Has Helped

For the ailing, half-sick housewife
such union is impossible. Often
times even the slightest form of
housework cannot be accomplished.
Yet the work must be done.
Many women struggle along for
years suffering from some form of
female trouble that make their lives
miserable and their homes far from

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

just such women regain their health
and strength. Just give your thought

PREPARING POTATO SEED BED
Select Best Piece of Land and Put II
in Good Shape-CIover Sod
Is Excellent.

1t pays to have the potato ground
in good shape. Select the best piece
of ground you have. You are putting
more money into the seed than for
any other farm crop and probably
more into the cultivation too. and so
you should have the best land. Glover
sod makes the best potato ground. Old
blue grass sod is all right if plowed
deep enough and worked up in good
shape. Timothy sod is not good. Avoid
fresh manure; IL produces scab.
