VEGETABLE GARDEN

Soon 1t will be time to stake the
Inns bean and tomato plants. Many
gardeners prefer to place the poles at
the time of planting the seed or setting
out the plants, thus preventing any in
jury to the roots after they have begun
TO grow. The young tomato plants must
be tied with soft Irvine or rafia, be-
ginning as soon as the plants are a foot
or SO in height and continuing with
every foot or so of growth expansion.
At the same time, II the plants are to
be grown on the single-stem basis, the
side shoots must be cut off as they APP
pear. This will leave one strong, stout
stem carrying several clusters OF to-
matoes Such procedure reduces the
total possible crop quite considerably
as compared to plants on the ground.
but one obtains smoother, brighter
fruits and usually more early fruit. To
offset~the reduced crop, one has simply
to plant more vines and, since Staked
plants take up less space than re-
cumbent plants. equal areas in the gar
den should give about equal yields
under the two methods.
Peas have made excellent growth
this Spring. enjoying to full extent the
ample moisture and the frequent cool
spells. In some gardens pods are well
formed and the crop will soon mature.
Pea growing Is more or less OF gamble
in local gardens so much so that some
years one scarcely gets as many peas
as were sown. This year should give
much more favorable returns.
On the other hand, as peas, cabbage
and lettuce have prospered. tomatoes,
peppers, sweet corn and beans have
been slow in getting started, but will
soon get under way as the warm
weather enters the scene
It is altogether feasible to plant q
vegetable garden now, but 1t will not
pay to include radishes. lettuce, peas,
parsnips and cool-loving crops, but to
concentrate on tomatoes, sweet corn,
sweet potatoes and other heat-loving
vegetables.

The Chevy Chase ,Md.) Garden Club
deserves credit for sponsoring a tour of

voted to charity-to the support of the

NEW YORK BANKER SUGGESTS J. 5. BUY

SILVER WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF BUT SUGGEST
 TIT BE AIDED

NEW YORK, June 25. (P) = A suggestion that the United States alone dry up the glutted world silver markets by immediate purchase of it's requirements for the next 30 years, was suggested to the National Foreign Trade con- vention by George w. Leman, as Sistant secretary of the Irving Trust Company.
 MT. Leman doubted that an in ternational formal conference as suggested by the American and international chambers of con- merce would be successful "be- cause unfortunately, altruism on the part of nations is an unknown quantity, and, accordingly, the only results that may be attained will be through bargaining"
 If nothing is done for silver, it will eventually take care of it. self; and the fact that the pre- sent reports point to a curtan- m.ent in this years production of at least 30 per cent is significant <. But, if the great nations of the world wait for natural forces to operate in the case of silver, they may witness dislocations in the commerce between the Orient and the Occident far more serious than any that have already oc- cured, with corresponding damage to world trade"

SANTA TIE, N. M. June 25. (P)- The new leasing act became eff fective in New Mexico last week.
 The new law will do away with the preferance right to renewal of an expiring lease, by competi- tive and will substitute a blanket renewal right.
 Under the old law the holder of a lease could obtain a renewal only by accepting the rentals est ablished by competitive bidding.

PANDORA POWER
 OVER ASSEMBLY
MONARCHISTS CLAIM REPUB- LICANS GIVEN BREAKS NEW
 ELECTION LAWS

MADRID, Spain, June 25. (P) - The republican-socialist coalition, controlling the provisional govern nent of Spain, expects to have a three to one majority in the na- tional constituent assembly to be elected June 28 and meet here July 14
 Since assuming power the Alcala zamora government has revised the election lawS-and the mon- archist complain that the revi- sion has given the republicans all the breaks.
 The republicans retort that they suffered disadvantages for years, but they finally won and the new system can be no worse than the old.
 The election scheme is involved, but what it amounts to is that the winning party in each pro vince takes 80 per cent of the as- sembly seats from that province and the minority gets 20 per cent.
 Seats are apportioned by pro vinces in the ratio of one mem Der of the assembly to each 5O,0OO population.
 There probably will be 6657 members of the new assembly, al- though this total is subject to some last minute revisions.
 It is calculated that the govern lnent vii have 349 seats against 118 for all it's possible opponents.

 T am now able to inform you that informal discussions among nations, some of whose partici- patton is vitally necessary, devel- op the fact that they do not con- slider this a proper time to call an international conference on sil- yer and would oppose holding such a conference now"
