 Q. want to use COW manure in my fern pots but heretofore the earth worms have ruined my plants. How do you overcome this ?-E. H., Ft. Payne, Ala.
 A. Cow manure is very productive of earth worms and other insects. A little comon lime mixed in will relieve the trouble.
 Q. Is there any special time when sweet potaoes should be harvested :? Mine seems to be through making and if such is the case would like to use the land.-H.. Salem. Ala.
 A. The best of authorities claim that there is no fixed time to. harvest sweet potatoes, only it is desirable to have them matured. To leave them longer in the soil is often injurious. The condition of the vines is the main factor. If they seem to be expended and the crop matured, nothing can be gained by allowing the crop to remain longer in the soil.
 Q. How late do you think. that corn can be cultivated to advantage HI. T., Kellyton, Ala. x .
 A. There is no fixed rule as> much would depend on weather conditions, djatance of rows,. thickness, character of soil and stage of growth. In some cases corn may be wOEked up to the silking period and to great advantage providing the work be done shallow so

Let Boy Work If
 He w ants : A ] D
Ry EMILIE HAFrMAN

m m UNIOR came homesa excited to- nm day and amounted that he has nm a job for the summer" exclaimed a mother the other day. "Of course, I wouldn't think of letting him work during vacation"
 Junior is 12 years old, a healthy aid, full-of life and vigor and "a job" is just the best kind of vacation for him.
 A college freshman informed his mother that he was offered summer position by one of the professors. The mother promptly vetoed the proposition because the son needs rest in order to- be in good condition for the next years work" In both cases the boys would have been far happier at work during the vacation. ft If your boy is in good health by all means let him work if he wants to. The active boy must have occu- patton. "A job" will be the menas of using up the excess energy which other wise would have the lad in constant trouble and the mother in a state of continual apprehension throughout the summer.
 One little fellow of nine found great delight in riding on the grocer's de- livery wagon, and each day during vaca- tion would find him eagerly awaiting the delivery of mothers gFpceries. The delivery clerk was a genial chap hnd he allowed the boy to call for orders and, deliver small orders. Soon the lad made himself useful in the store and as he grew older he became an efficient clerk during vacation. After graduation he took a business college course and today he is a successful merchant.
 The high school or college, student who chafe under the listless home life is certainly better, off filling one of the many positions now open to young men of his class.
 A young technical student secured a vacation position in a large electric plant and each summer found him eagerly pursuing his duties and gain ing practical experience which not only was help in his studies but put him into a good position after graduation, where he proved himself a valuable man. 1r
 So if little Billy wants to- help in the neighborhood store or big son John would rather work than kill time, allow them to do so and do not worry about their not having a vaca- tion.

as no too greatly disturb the roots.
 O.. Can you tell us when to dig our peanuts as we have a good crop and don't want to make any mistakes in saving the crop?-A. W..W. Blocton, Ala.
 A. It is necessary to exercise iudg ment. Generally, when the plants be- gin to turn yellow, the. crop is matured, but sometimes there may be a. good many young ones that. will result in puffs or faulty nuts. It is also the case that frequently some of the older nuts may sprout where digging is de layed. It is important that greatest percent of the nuts be matured.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Q. I want to plant my Irish potato ground to sweet potatoes and have the option of using either theIvines or cut tings or we'll grown slips or draws, which would you choose if you were doing. the planting? R. L., Atmore, Alabama.
 A. would unhesitatingly use the vines or cuttings because slips this late in the season are somewhat hazardous, not because it's late but for the same reason that vines or cuttings are more reliable for late setting. The danger from disease is less, besides other fac tors favor the use of cuttings.
 o. Do you think it pays or is it bene- ficial to water shade or street trees during dry periods? U. H., R. F. D. Mo-. 1.
 A. There is no doubt but what shade trees are greatly benefited by water ing in dry periods. The method of watering, however, is important because unless. the job is thoroughly done, it bet ter not be undertaken. Mere sprinkling with the garden hose will do no good and may cause injury. If undertaken at all, give them real soaking. ...

Grow Your Plants
i'm Box or Hotbed
Gardeners Find It Pays to
Have Supply for Their
Own Use.

Prices of vegetables on the market
are always higher in the spring of the
year while certain of the most sought
after kinds are still scarce. This is
especially true Of the crops elassed as
greens and salads, because everybody
seems to need more of this kind of
food in the spring, and, therefore,
these vegetables find ready sale. The
home gardener can save this much
by having his own crops coming on
early To do this it may be necessary
to start some of the plants in window
box in the house and to have small
coldframe along the south side of the
garage or in some other well protected
place where both the early crops and
the early plants for setting in the gar
den may be grown.
Lettuce, radishes and beets can be
grown right in the frame while plants
like tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, are
being prepared for setting in the open
Very little can be gained by starting
beet plants in the hotbed or coldframe !;
however, some gardeners make a fair
success of growing early beet plants
in the hotbed then transplanting them
to the open ground. In the opinion
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, the important point, how
ever, in having an early garden is to
have thoroughly prepared the soil in
the fall so that it will dry out quickly
in the spring and be in shape for plant
ing just as soon as the frost is out Of
the ground.
Among the crops that can be planted
extremely early in the open ground are
potatoes, peas, radishes, beets, onions,
spinach and the so-called frostproof
