So began their romance whicl lasted two blissfuI years.
A EAST RIPENING FRIENDSHIP

 "I do not want to go and you know that Harry answered slowly as he limped over to my radio set and tuned in to catch a message from the air. Was it coincidence that the distant voice was singing: This Is the End of Perfect Day" I had followed and throwing his arm loosely across my shoulders he stood listening to the music as if in all the world he had nothing else to think of, nothing else to do. Do you know, pr. George. 1t did not seem incongyuous that l should be standing there with man l had seen only once before with his arm familiarly about my shoulders. It seemed as though I had always known him, always loved him. l had never had any doubts of that from the first, you know. And the song seemed to. voice only the truth when it's melody died away with:
 "When the sun goes down in fam
 ing ray
 And dear friends have to part" and he drew me to him and kissed me.
 It was not the end of perfect day, however, for the end proved to be a comedy instead of a love lyric. At the last We had to hurry to the car and I drove him to the house of

weather the last of August and Sep tember? J. S., Montgomery.
 A. l think so, providing it obtained a good start Good soil and continu- ous working would be the main fac tor in keeping the plants alive through hot. dry periods. It's cer- tainly a good idea to get winter spinach started when you can get seed to germinate.
 Q. Is Birmingham a good market for tomatoes now2 c. J.. oakman.
 A. No Market glutted at present. See letter.
 Q. One of by finest 4maryllis bulbs have made seed for the first time. l never thought they made seed. Would these seed come up if planted and reproduce Towering bulbs? Mrs. E. ".
 A. Amaryllls are not difficllt to grow from seed. Sow now pr later in boxes and when up and growing transplant 10 pots. take care of them and they soon grow into Towering size.
 Q. My asters have done we'll until lately, but now the foliage Is turning a yellowish or bronze color Could it be- rust and is there a safe remedy? Mrs. D., Albany.
 A. The trouble is most likely a fungus, some of which are ge eral- ly termed rust One ounce dry bordeaux power to gallon water is effective. Spray thoroughly and re- peat at week intervals until rust disappears.
 e. have read of both kale and rape as being fine for green win ter feed for chickens. Which one do you consider the best? Mrs. M., Oneonta.
 A. The rape is the largest and quickest growing plant and is more largely used. 1t is a good idea to plant both. Kale Is the hardest and will better offord green stuff in January and February. and would be available for longer period.
 Q. In planting the seed of ardy perennials. within the next month. would you SOW out in the yard where you want them to remain or SOW in boxes and transplant later Mrs. &
 A. Owing to hot sun and the diff faculties of moisture control, it's best. with most plants, to SOW in boxes, so you can protect from too much sun when plants are .'eung, and can better control moisture. Some perennlals are difficult to transplant, x such for example AS poppies, and these would be better planted where you want them to grow.
 c. What is the red spider and how can you tell when your plants are infested? c. NJ, Gadsden.
 A What is termed red spider is not spider at all but true mite; but 1t does create or spin a very fine silken web, generally distri- buted over foliage. under protection of which it sucks the life-blood of plants.
 It is a microscopic meet whose presence is indicated by glazed or hard brownish red appearance and

Jackson, Miss. July -(speciel1 The democratic primary set for Au- gust IS Is of serious importance, but unfortunately very little interest is being shown in the selection Of q candidate for any of the offices that are to be filled.

The Romance of Trade

 The Romance of Trade
 In a bag of hairy vetch seed, re- gently opened by seed store in Birmingham. there was found a letter written by southern Siberian farmer, who actually produced the seed. The letter was written in goo l German and signed by Johan Braun. It was interesting to know that he obtained for the seed a little less than ? cents per pound, American money equivalent. It would also be interesting to know just how this seed, to be planted by an Alabama farmer, reached the United |States. The seed were bought from New York importer, but the bag showed a London stamp. all proving that trans portation after all is the main factor in the distribution of anything. The port, traversed this sea via Con stantinople and on through to the Mediterranean, and finally to an English port. The seed cost de- l.vered at Birmingham 15 cents yer pound, or more than seven times what the grower received. yet the grower said in his letter that he had much more to sell at the same price. Profits and transportation charges did not seem to disturb the grower he was glad of some way to market his product. I sometimes wonder if we appreciate the great value of transportation.

Alabama Grown Bulbs

With the high duty proposed on towering bulbs and the quarantine now in effect ,shutting out many bulbs, 1t does seem that more gen eral effort should be made in the United States towards developing the culture of bulbs in this country The United States government has made a great many experimental tests, all of which prove. that the most of the bulbs we annually ini- port can be profitably produced In the states. The greater part of these trials were conducted on the Pacific coast and there has followed a con- siderable commercial acreage in those sections. The United States however, is still the chief customer of Holland, France and Japan in the.r enormous production of Towering bulbs. It Is another case of sending annually millions of American io,- lars abroad for such crops as we know can. be produced at home. The southern states have the land and climate most suited for the propa ga tion of the largect per cent of our bulbs. The trials made in MoSie and Baldwin counties. where. there is already a small bulb induAry. has eemonstrated that the growing of bulbs can be made highly profitable. crop. The state of Alabama cold and should help such a prospective proposition.

some ForeIgn Notes

It is hard to convince the aver age American that he is by no means supreme in all sorts of human en- deayor. We are prone to discredlt the accomplishments of the foreigner, particularly in the domain of agri- cultural pursuits and while we may use in the larger sense the most Lp-to-date methods of production. we often lag far behind in net econom- lcal results. We are certainly far behind when you exclude the larger and more important staple crops, such as cotton. corn and small grain. I notice, for example, in a foreign trade journal that an Englishman recently died. leaving an estate worth several million dollars, all made bJ growing and selling turnip seed to the United States. A Japanese die l a few weeks ago leaving an estate worth millions in Japan. He maie this money exporting Towering bulbs to the United States. The annual volume of hls business reached the enormous total of SIC, 900, and yet we look with scorn on the agricdl- tural methods of the Japanese. Ital- ian farmers in Italy are sending to tEis country annually millions of dollars worth of various clover seed. The American farmer is big factor in world production but he is not the whole cheese.

Question. and Answers

Q. Please tell me the names of potatoes, onions and turnips best for fall planting and when to plant. Is September l too late to plant corn, and If not, what sort do you sug- gest? Mrs. G., Roanoke.
 A. old potatoes of Irish cebbler and Lookout mountain are best and should be planted right away Any variety of shallots or multiplying onions may be planted now and also regular onion sets, available in about two weeks. Truckers are planting turnips now and will plant at 10 to S0-day intervals until October. Pur- pie top white globe is the most popu- lar sort. About August 10 is as late as planting of corn could be recom- mended Mexican June would be the safest variety.
