A TEN-FOOT
KITCHEN GARDEN
+ = ]. J. + + + + 1. !. + + +

A ten-foot sunny corner of back
yard will furnish considerable guam
.ity of vegetables during the course
Of year, if properly handled. 1t will
supply sufficient tomatoes to eat raw
all summer and for canning for the
winter supply. Before it is time to
put in the tomato plants it will give a
liberal supply of early radishes, leaf
lettuce, young onions or spinach.
Among the tomatoes during the
year a few plants of Swiss chard will
give a supply of greens all summer.
The same plot, after the early
spring harvest, may be used for beans
all summer, planting it at intervals in
succession. 1t may furnish supply
of green peas planted early and fol-
owed by turnips, cabbage, cauliflower
or few stalks Of brussels sprouts to
furnish a delicacy for the Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas tables. This vege-
table is always expensive, but as easy
to grow as cabbage.
The small plot, after the radishes
and young onions, may be planted to
eggplants and green peppers. 1t
might also be put into few cucum-
bers if that vegetable is specially rel
ished. There is the widest variety of
choice to which a small plot may be
put to furnish vegetables of quality
for the home table. Even so small a
plct would furnish several messes of
the delicious Golden Bantam corn, the
real quality of which is never found
in the market
A plot of only ten feet square lends
itself to intensive culture. 1t can be
so easily and heavily fertilized that it
will produce greatly increased crops,
and it is an easy matter to keep so
small plot well watered during any
dry periods. ut is too small to do
anything with it," is not a good excuse
for neglecting to plant few vegeta-
bles this year. 1t is simple matter
to sit down with a pencil and paper
and figure out the possibilities of a
small plot and look over the catalogues
and order few packets of seed to
plant it.

ONIONS IN VARIOUS GUISES
= : + = +*+ + =

The home gardener usually values
onions at their proper worth and may
be glad to know in how many forms,
and under how many names, he may
grow them for his table.
If he is an experienced hand he
ought with the first spring weather to
be harvesting the green sprouds Of
perennial onions which are set out in
the fall and produce green onions for
the table as the first crop of the spring
season.
The onion is a cool weather crop,
perfectly hardy and grows in a tenn
perature in which few other plants
will thrive. Onion sets provide the
first spring sown crop. They may be
sown as soon as the ground has been
prepared. The onion needs long sea-
son to mature from seed Bermuda
onion plants grown in Texas from
seed sown in the winter are obtainable
/ in the colder states from April on,
and will make fair sized Bermuda on
ions by fall.
The other members Of the family
which gardeners ought to grow are
leeks and chives. Leeks refuse to
make bulbs but produce large stalks
sometimes an inch through and foot
tall exactly resembling otherwise a
green onion. Its flavor is delicious,
like an onion, yet different. 1t is
cooked, always and is highly esteemed
/ for soups and stews.
Chives is perennial plant sending
up slender leaves having mild onion
| flavor which are cut off and used for
seasoning and salads. 1t will live
over winter in the garden and may be
grown in a pot in the kitchen. The
blossom is beautiful and its is often
grown in rock gardens
Garlic of the European sort may
easily be grown from sets, and very
little is required to supply an Ameri-
can family all year around.

Rotary Celebrates
18th Anniversary

Chicago-There are celebrations be-
ing held this week in more than ST.
500 cities around the world in OBJ
servance of the founding of the Ro-
tary movement in Chicago, Febru-
ary %, 1905.
Paul p. Harris, Chicago attorney,
met with three of his friends on that
evening and unfolded his plan for a
club Of business and professional men,
the purpose Of which would be mu-
tual helpfulness. He had been study
ing over the principles for five years.
The club would include but one man
from each distinct line of business or
profession. The club would encour-
age business fellowship and empha-
size high standard in business and
professional life.
Within a few weeks there was
score of members and the first of the
Service" clubs came into existence.
Inspired by this success, the found
er began to organize clubs in other
large cities. The second club was
formed in San Francisco three years
later and then in rapid succession
clubs were founded in 16 of the larg-
est cities in the country, within the
first five years.
With Chesley X. Perry, young
Chicago librarian and teacher, Paul
Harris brought together representa-
tives from these Is clubs in August,
1910, and founded an association, now
known as Rotary International. Paul
Harris became the first president and
Chesley Perry the secretary. Harris
is now president-emeritus and Perry
is still secretary, after more than 22
years.
Within the Chicago Rotary club
there were developing some of the
ideas and principles which are now
familiar everywhere. Paul Harris
gave to the club the name Rotary"
based upon the original custom of
holding meetings in the offices of
members in rotation. The founder
also devised the classification princi-
pie of membership, restricting MEM
bership in the club to one man in
each distinct line of business or pro-
fession.
When the club grew too large to
meet in members offices, it was pro-
posed to meet at luncheon, or occa-
sionally, at dinner From the name
Rotary" and the thought of 'rota-
ton" among ones friends, came the
inspiration for the Rotary emblem,
the cog wheel. Hs = "a
Gradually there was accepted by
1916 the present Rotary motto "Serv-
ice Above Self-He Profits Most Who
Serves Best" sN
Slowly at first and then at the
rate of one to three hundred year,
Rotary clubs were formed in country
after country until today there are
more than 70 countries or geo
graphical areas in which Rotary clubs
have been established. In the past
year there have been added to this
list Syria and Tanger There is to-
day a chain of more than $500 Ro-
tary clubs encircling the world with
nearly 10000 Rotarians, united in
world fellowship.
