Peas And Potatoes On Early List

This is the fifth of series of
exclusive articles ON vegetable gar
dening prepared for NEA Service
and the Waterbury Democrat.
BY VIM r.. BEATTIE
Bureau of Plant Industry, q. S.
Department of Agriculture
Peas and potatoes are two of the
garden crops that can be planted
very early in the spring. Peas can
be planted early. because they
Withstand considerable cold, and
potatoes can be planted early be-
cause they do not come up for
three or four weeks after planting.
A rather severe frost will not
hurt peas after they are up, but
potatoes are rather easily killed.
1t is often possible to save the
young potato plants from frost by
covering them with q little soil,
then, after frost danger is past,
you can sratch the soil off the
potatoes. or leave it and they will
come through.
In the Gulf Coast region, peas
are often planted on the tops of
ridges, and are not covered more
than an inch or SO. In the north
central sections, it is customary to
plant peas on level ground just as
soon as the ground can be worked
in the spring and to cover them
two or even three inches.
Shallow Planting
1t has been found that it isn't
necessary to cover peas deeper
than an inch and half or two
inches, the main thing being to
cover the peas just deep enough
so that they will find plenty of
moisture.
Most gardeners prefer to make
one planting of the variety of pea
known as Alaska. then follow with
one or two paintings of Thomas
Laxton, Little Marvel, or, perhaps.
the old-fashioned Telephone peas.
Other gardeners prefer to plant
only the latter three wrinkled va
rieties. The main thing is to make
two or three paintings in order to
have peas over fairly long period
of time.
Irish Cobblyer and Triumph,
sometimes called Bliss Triumph or
Red Triumph, are the leading
varieties of early potatoes. Not
much is to be gained by making

JUDGE FINN
GIVES COUNSEL
Says Holders of Mort
cages Should Not Look
for Profit These Times
FIXES LONG LAW DATE

Holders OF mortgages should not
expect to profit in times like these,
Judge Edward J. Finn stated to-
day in denying the petition for a
three months law day in the fore
closure action of Luigi Fiscelli a.
gainst Filippo Russo. Instead,
Judge Finn added, the holder of
a mortgage should be more con-
siderate, especially when the mort
gage happens to be a first mort
gage and the only mortgage on the
property, as in the case in ques-
ton.
Judge Finn made the law day
Jan. 4th, 1888, nine months Pc
Rod to redeem the property, rather
than the three months sought. The
owner has held the title to the
property since 1919. A judgment
of $3,976.34 was entered.
