Tips on Beans, Peas, Beets,
Carrots, Corn, Cucumbers,
Turnips Given
Editors Note: This Is the sew
enth Of = series of articles deal
ing with vegetable gardens.
BY A. F. YEAGER.
Hnrficaa1tp N n A [


The successful gardener is the one
each crop he plants and cares for his
crops accordingly. Following are 4
few notes on some of the commonly
grown vegetables which have not been
mentioned before in this series.
Beans are frost tender and must
not be above ground before danger of
frost Is past. Their culture is the
easiest. Beans should not be picked
when the vines are wet as this makes
the vines rust and die. Lima beans
will not terminate in cold soil so they
must be planted later than other
beans. One Of the most common
causes Of failure with them is the
lack of stand. Only small seeded
bush varieties will ripen we'll.
Varieties OF snap beans likely to
give the best success are the Bounti-
full and Stringless Green Pod, or the
green podded sorts; Weber Wax and
Pencil Pod Wax are high quality wax
varieties. OF the dry beans. Great
Northern and any early navy are good
white beans: Red Kidney and Hidatsa
are good colored ones. Only the small
seeded bush sort of the Lima beans
such as Jackson's Wonder and Hen
derson's Bush, will mature in the
average season.
Cool Weather For Peas
Peas require cool weather. They
should be planted very early; the
round seeded varieties as soon as the
soil can be worked. Wrinkled peas
which are the better quality, may be
planted about the first Of May. In
order to prolong the season, it Is well
70 plant several varieties which ma
ture at different dates. Better sue
cess will be had by making one plant
ing Of many varieties than by plant
ing the same variety at intervals OF
10 days. The selection Of varieties
gtven in the general list is made with
this idea in view.
Recommended varieties OF peas in
ctude Radio and Surprise Alaska for
extra early results; Laxtonian Blue
Bantam and Pioneer are good .a1e
peas. All Of the foregoing varieties
have dwarf vines.
Beets for summer use may be
planted early, Is they are frost resist
Rnt They will, however, become
oVergrown before fall II planted too
early with the result that many gard

Must Understand Crops

in May, another about June /. Beets
always require thinning, because each
so-called seed may produce several
sprouts. Any variety of beets will
do well. Detroit Dark Red Is good.
Sow Carrots Twice
Carrots can be S0Wn once early in
May for summer use and again about
June l for winter storage, as the
roots may become too old and crack
If sown early. Because the young
seedlings are so tiny and weak, some
radish is often sown with them to
mark the row. The radisheS will be
ready for use early and leave the
ground for carrots by the time they
need it. All varieties of carrots will
do well but the ones mentioned in the
variety list are superior in quality.
Carrots do we'll in North Dakota, the
Chantenay being a particularly salts
factory variety. Half Long Nantes has
the best quality of all.
One may have Sweetcorn for the
whole season and plant corn but once
II the varieties recommended are used.
If one prefers to eat Golden Bantam
for most of the summer, successive
paintings Of it at To-day intervals may
be made to accomplish that result.
Golden Bantam corn planted as late
as the middle of July often produces
roasting ears before frost.
Cucumbers either may be planted
in hills Of 10 to Is seeds every six
feet or be planted with a drill at the
rate of two seeds per foot. After the
danger Of the striped cucumber
beetle is past, these hills should be
thinned to three or four strong plants
or the row to one plant for each Is
inches. A little manure buried under
each hill will do much toward de-
veloping thrifty plants. Extra early
cucumbers are sometimes produced
by sowing the seed about April Is in
tin cans or old berry boxes filled with
earth and placed in the hotbed.
When danger of frost Is past the can
or box Is carefully removed and the
plants set out with the dirt. Irriga-
ton will do much to insure q crop.
White Spine or any similar variety
OF cucumber does well.
TurnipS like cool weather and ma
ture quickly so are often sown early
IN the spring to use as a substitute
Tor rutabagas before that crop is
ready. They may also be sown in mid
summer as a fall crop.

MERCHANTS WIN
TAX RE-TR|AL

The Supreme Court today
granted Kentucky merchants,
who are assailing constitutional
ity Of the States gross sales, or
antichain store tax, new chance
to prove their right of appeal.
A new hearing by three judge
Federal court in Kentucky was
ordered on the question of
whether the merchants could OBJ
tain refund of taxes, in event
the law was held unconstitutional
after they had paid them.
Chief Justice Hughes read the
brief opinion for the court as a
whole, which reversed the deci-
sion of the lower Federal court
and remanded the case. This
court held the merchants could
not obtain an injunction against
collection of the tax but must
first pay it and then seek re-
fund.
The merchants who appealed
contended the general fund of
Kentucky is in a bankrupt con-
dition. If they first paid the
tax, they, argued, they would
have to wait years for a refund
in event the law were held in
valid. ..
The State and the lower Fed
'eral court denied this plea.
The high court. however, said
there was no finding of facts by
the lower court to enable it to
decide this question.

LEGAL H|TCHES
MAY VANISH IN
EMERGENCY
Col. Grant Says Charitable
Agencies Must Take
Initiative Action

An imposing colony capable
of providing for many hun
dreds of the Districts unem-
ployed may soon be built on
the banks of the Potomac
River 20 miles south of Wash
ington, The Washington Times
learned today.
Heated barracks with room for
hundreds of families, recreation
buildings, gardens, workshops and
all the equipment of a wartime
cantonnent would be included in
what may prove the country's
greatest single enterprise on be-
half of the unemployed.
Studies Fort Hunt
The project is being studied by
Lieut.. Col. U. s. Grant, director
of Public Buildings and Parks,
following receipt of information
that Fort Hunt, no longer of
military value, will be turned
over within the next few days
to the buildings and parks office.
Legal obstacles confront crea.
ton of a large relief camp, Col
onel Grant admitted today, but
he believes the magnitude of the
emergency here will provide a
sympathetic Congress. Mean
time, he and his staff are inveSti-
eating carefully how Fort Hunt
could best be converted to house
needy persons.
In Fairly Good Shape
The reservation already boasts
several substantial structures, in
cluding barracks, officers quar-
ters and outbuildingS. They have
long been disused but are held
to be in fairly good condition.
Heat, water, ice and other
necessities would have to be fur
nished by charitable agencies,
Colonel Grant pointed out, mas
much as his office is not author
lied to carry on such work.
No move can be made TO SET up
the colony, unless local agencies
take the initiative. The office Of
Public Buildings and Parks will
determine, whether a camp for
unemployed could be adequately
housed on the site and hold itself
in readiness to cooperate with the
District.
