While remaining firm in their posi-

this territory admit the strike is re-

Strike leaders are as confident as
at the beginning of ultimate victory.
Monday, officials of the six fed
Grated crafts reiterated their deter
nination to win every contested
point.
Enginemen Monday would add
nothing to their statements Satur-
day that further continuance of the
strike would necessarily involve the
brotherhood men. Locally, the sit
uation is tense among the engine
men. At the station terminals, the
brotherhood men will not permit
guards and strike breakers to use
the same Mushrooms and station
conveniences. Notice has been serv-
ed on the road managers that per-
hitting the strike breakers to use
the Mushrooms and lavatories would
abrogate working arrangements.

PLANT A FALL GARDEN

A well kept vegetable garden is a
source not only the profit to the gar
dener, but of pleasure to the entire
family. For many vegetables which
deterioate rapidly in quality after
being gathered, the only practicable
means Of securing the best is to grow
them at home. This is especially true
of many of the vegetables which may
eb planted during tn period from
August 10 to Sept. 10.
A half acre garden should produce
as much in money value for labor,
time and money expended as 2 or 3
acres in general farm crops.
In most sections of our State,
though vegetables can be grown in
|neraly every month of the year, the
garden is neglected; in fact no fea-
ture of our farming system is more
neglected than the production of
vegetables for home use.
From August 10 to Sept. 10, the
majority of vegetables produced in
the spring garden, can be planted for
fall garden, and will reach maturity
before cold weather. The following
vegetables can be planted in South
ern Mississippi during August: cab
bage, turnips, cauliflower, irish po-
tatoes, satisfy, sugar corn Aug. 15)
snap beans, pole beans, cucumbers
Aug. 49,
September: Spinach, onions, col
lards, turnips, English peas, beets,
radish, mustard, strawberries. The
following vegetables can be planted
in central Mississippi during August:
Cabbage (seed), collards, turnips,
beets, snap beans (Aug. 15) pole
beans, (Aug. 15) September: Car
rots, spinach, onions, turnips, beets,
radish, mustard, lettuce, Strawberries,
celery (plants). The following vege-
tables can be planted in Northern
Mississippi during August: Collards,
beets. September: Carrots, spinach,
onions, beets, radishes, mustard, let
tuce, Strawberries, celery (plants.)
When we realize that such variety
can be grown in our fall gardens, is
there any logical reason for spending
our hard earned money for vegetables
grown during these months in the
Northern States and shipped into our
State yielding an enormuos profit to
the several agencies (which handle
them.
