"If it is cold spring we get up

DRAIN MUCK AND PEAT LAND
Area Should First Be Drained by
System Of Open bitches to Per-
nit Land to Settle.

When muck and peat land is to be
drained by tile the area should first be
drained by system Of open bitches,
according to the bureau of public
roads, United States Department of
Agriculture. Such soils settle or SUBJ
side considerably after drainage and
tend to disturb the grade or slope of
the tile line. After such soils have
been drained for year or so they be-
come compact enough to permit the
installation of tile drains. Usually the
best method, says the bureau. is to
dig the bitches where the tile is to be
laid later. and after the tile is laid
and the ditch back-filled there will be
nothing to interfere with cultivation.

transplanting not to break the tap
root If some of them are wanted for
the root. Breaking the tap root in
transplanting leads to branching or
knotty roots when they mature.
Each beet seed is really a fruit
containing several seeds, which is the
reason why beets. no matter how thin
ly the seed seems to be sown, come
up thickly. The beet crop sometimes
does not flourish as it should to pro-
duce luxuriant crop of greens. Shall
low planting usually is the main
trouble. They should be planted an
inch deep and even an inch an half
If the soil is very light and sandy.
Beets may be planted between rows
of corn and yield successfully as they
will do better for the shade in mid
summer and do not take enough food
from the soil to interfere with the
corn.
The combination of a slow-growing
and a fast-growing crop in the garden
is a good one to keep in mind, be-
cause they can usually be companion
crops without harm to either, the slow
growers taking the nourishment from
the soil slowly and In such small
quantity the fast growers are not in
jured.

| find a wide use in all parts of the East.
Any one who has used a bamboo
handled broom will appreciate Its
llghtness and the smooth finish to its
surface, while the split strands Of
bamboo are so stiff and elastic that
they have been used most successfully
in broom making-they may even COM
pete with the brOOm-cOrn straw for
broom manufacture.
Who knows but that the paper sup
ply of the future may come largely
| from bamboo. Paper is made from
the young stems in both the East and
West Indies and In China.
1t seems as If bamboo could be
found for many kinds of climates.
The bamboo Is found In India, China,
japan and in Africa and tropical
America. There are about 200 vari-
cites. Many species do well In Eng
lish gardens. The extensive cane
brakes of southern United States are
kind Of native Observation-Disclosures
Macros-perma. In short, IL VIII ap-
parently grow freely anywhere in trop-
ical and subtropical climates.
Every angler with any pride in his
tackle has split-bamboo rod. 1t
makes no difference whether he Is fly
caster or bait-caster. If he Is both,
he has two split-bamboo rods. Inc
bamboo is imported and the rods are
made In this country. AT rod making
tbe American leads the world. 1t
would be no small matter If the bam-
hoo for these millions of rods were
grown in this country.
While these are few of the ob-
vious uses which will probably be first
investigated by Americans, 1t Is incon-
ceiyable that the ingenuity OF the
American will not find new uses Tor
so unique raw product as the bam-
hoo The grove at Savannah may
play a most important role In the edu-
cation of the people of this continent
In the uses and beauty of this re-
markable plant.
Surely, with the increasing depletion
of our forests and the exceedingly
high cost of lumber and timber IN
many places where the local supply
has been exhausted, the possibilities OF
the bamboo are well worth thorough
investigation. Doubtless 1t may not
he ms good as our natural woods, but
It is likely that 1t can be USED us
fairly satisfactory substitute.

| with you long after you have gone
| away.
AS landscape unit alone, there
fore, grove of bamboos is worthy
of the widest popularity, and parks
and open places through the South
should plant them. 1t is difficult to
imagine more wonderful place for
little children to play In than bam-
boo grove.
But there are other and more prac-
| tical reasons for the distribution of
the bamboo throughout the South. Its
young shoots furnish one of the most
delicious of early vegetables. Prop
erly cooked, 1t has freshness and
flavor somewhat like sweet corn, but
| Its texture Is firmer. 1t comes into
the market In April and should quick
ly win Its proper place on the Amer
lean menu, where vegetables are always
a deslderatum.
| To sneak Of the timber uses Of the
bamboo is good deal like speaking
of the timber uses of the pine, except
that the qualities of the two are en-
tirely distinct. The peculiar proper
ties of the bamboo come from the fact
that the trunks are composed of short,
hollow cylinders, making them the
liphtest timbers for their strength of
any known.
The fibers run from end to end,
making 1t possible to split a bamboo
pole into strands or strips more cas-
ily than any other wood. These fibers
are among the strongest. most eiasuc
known, and 1t is the bewilderment of
occidentals visiting Japan to see now
many are the uses of this peculiar
timber.
For ladders, their lightness and
strength render the poles remarkably
well adapted; there are no fruit-pick-
ing ladders which compare with them.
For fishing poles, the small canes
are imported by the millions from ia
pan and scattered by jobbers all over
the country so that every boy can
have one. Split bamboo fishing rods,
Of which we use $5,OOO,OOO worth ev-
cry year, are made from the outer
LAYERS of wood of the best canes.
What baskets can compare In their
variety and dellcacy Of construction
with the bamboo baskets of Japan!
For watering pipes for small gar
dens they will have the same use In
America that they have in Japan, the

BED OF MUSHROOMS WILL PAY

Mushroom growing will pay anyone
who takes the necessary precautions
in planting the spawn bricks in the
proper manner, say the vegetable crop
experts at Iowa State college. In or
der to do the best the bricks should
be planted in cave or cellar where
a temperature of so degrees F. can
be maintained. Make bed of fer

bricks containing the spawn about
foot apart. Be sure that the spawn
bricks were obtained from reputable

more leafy shoots. Those who have
dug barberries realize that in the
case Of large bush 1t is extremely
difficult to find and remove all roots
capable of sending forth sprouts.
This means of course that close
watch must be kept for the appear
ance of sprouts and their removal
effected. In the eradication of the
barberry 1t Is necessary to make,
later, one or more inspections of the
place where a bush was dug to locate
and destroy sprouts If they appear.

SUDAN GRASS IN DRY AREAS
Crop Requires Hot Weather for Best
Results-Makes Hay Which 10
Low In Protein.

Sudan grass is one of the nonsac-
charine sorghums and resembles the
others in many ways. 1t makes hay
which is low in protein and hence is
not a very good hay for milk cows or
growing animals, though 1t is a good
hay for idle horses. 1t requires hot
and dry weather conditions for best
results and hence does well in the dry
and hot areas.

The beet is a most obliging vege-
table in that it does not require as
rich soil to yield generously as some
others. 1t will also flourish In lighter
and sander soils than some Of the
root crops. The beet should not have
any fresh manure in the soil to do its
best but only well-decayed manure or
compost.
Early beets are most valued as
green's, the roots being more esteemed
later In the season or even in the fall
and winter. II 1t is desired to get an
early crop of beets for greens they

as lettuce. but care must be taken in
