VEGETABLE GARDEN

Cool nights and an excess Of cold
fains have delayed the progress Of local
vegetable gardens except for some of
The hardest species such as spinach,
peas and radiSheS. 1t is now so late
that when it does warm up all veee-
tables, including the Summer types,
such as sweet corn. tomatoes and beans
of various kinds may be safely planted.
This is really one of the rare seasons
when one would be just about as far
along If all planting had been delayed
until now.
Since the quality Of most vegetables
Is closely tied up with rapid growth.
1t Is we'll to provide a liberal supply
Of plant food in the soil before plant
ing. Generally speaking the needs of
the plants are best satisfied by the use
Of an all around fertilizer, that is, one
containing the three principal elements.
nitrogen, phosphorouS and potash. Such
materials are commonly known as
mixed fertilizer or sometimes simply
commercial fertilizer. For vegetables,
q 5-8-4 mixture is none too concen-
frated when used at the rate of one
pound per 40 square feet Of SOIL How
ever, when the material is applied in
the row the rate should be reduced BY
one-haf to prevent too great concen-
tration near the seed which should
never be sOwn directly with the fer
tilizer on account Of hazard to the
terminating plantlet. A little soil
drawn in the furrow below the seed
will overcome this danger.
The question may arise concerning
the use of the new concentrated forms
of fertilizer. So far as has been deter
mined, these are equally as useful as
the usual mixtures when used in equiv
alent amounts. This simply means that
where fertilizer tests 90 per cent Of
nitrogen, one-sixth as much will do
The work OF material testing only 5
per cent nitrogen. The use Of high-
test fertilizers may be rendered simpler
by mixing with it considerable guam
tity Of dry soil or sand. Withal the
common mixed materials contain q
large proportion of inert substance in
each unit.
Concerning the planning of q small
vegetable garden, 1t Is always advisa-
BILE to plant the tan-growing crops,
such as sweet corn, pole beans and
Staked tomatoes, In one portion OF the
garden, and the low-uowine species.
such as beets. carrots and parsnips, in
p group. This gives the low plants .
place In the sun. SO to speak, and al
ways gives the whole garden Q better
appearance. II one has only q small
space available. radishes and lettuce
may be sown between the beans or
beets. but as q rule this concentration
Is not desirable because 1t adds to the
dfficulty Of tilling the soil and keeping
down the weeds.
In many gardens vegetable growing
will again assume major importance
this year, and as usual may be ex-
pected to reward the grower who
spends q reasonable amount Of time
/ and care on this enterprise.

THE GARDEN CLUBS

Probably some Of our local garden
club members took advantage Of the
recent tour Of old Virginia gardens. In
these old-time gardens, there Is much
to be learned, especially in the way Of
establishing permanent paintings that
VIII endure the test Of time.
Introducing q, new subject In local
garden club discussions. that Of viola
culture, w. A. Wheeler st the recent
meeting Of the Takolna Horticultural
Club created much interest in this rela-
lively new plant--that Is. new with re-
spect to the new and ever blooming va
rieties but long present in our gardens
IS violets and pansies. The new FORMS
unlike their better known relatives do
not apparently mind the Summer sun
and present a mass OF color over q long
period.
W. r. Beattie's talk on the Home

followed by many questions.

FENCE COVERS

There are several plants that are
very useful for covering unsightly
fences or at least for concealing them
from view. For an annual. the castor
oil bean. RicinuS, makes rapid growth
when sown about the time lima beans
can be safely planted. Hollyhocks are
excellent but require two years growth
from seed before attaining useful size.
Various annual vines. such as the scar
let runner bean and cobaea and even
the lima bean make satisfactory cov-
ers II given wire support.
For permanent cover, where one
Is also interested in fruit, the ordinary
varieties Of grape. such as Niagara and
Concord, make q dense mass Of foliage
and at the same time reward the
gardener with delicious fruit For the
rural fence. the climbing honeysuckle
offers q cheap and effective cover out
one would not care to introduce this
Vigorous species into the urban
grounds. It Is too vigorous and ccm-
petitive. Climbing roses are good fence
covers but are difficult to handle be-
cause Of their thorns.

What happens when someone stands behind you at the pHose table and kibitzes?
 You flare up instantly and al- though you may be too polite to say so. you resent his interference to the point of making delfberate- ly wrong plays just to spite him.
 None of us can stand to be told and told over again about our own business. We. may be wrong, but it is our game and lye must learn it ourselves.
 To go on with bridge as an obs ject lesson, suppose the two oppo. nents consist of a good player ana bad player. We will watch the good player and try to learn his moves. We will copy the bad player perhaps also, but in time we will learn more from the good player than the bad, because our instinct tells us that more is to be gained from right than from wrong. The one person we refuse to learn from is the kibitzef, no matter how fine a. player he may be.
 A Helper Is Different
 If, however, it is understood be- fore we start that the person bee hind our chair is there for a dis tinct purpose, to help and guide US from time to time, because he is interested in us and not in him. self, because he Is unseifish and friendly and fine, then that Is dif- ferent. We show him our hand and ask advice, and respect what he says.
 Now lift the bridge table and put there the complicated struc- ture of the world. The child IS learning a new game, life, with good and bad players. Behind him stands his mother with ever ready advice.
 She is in vernacular a "Kibitz- er," because she stands behind her child and tells him what to do. A kibitzer can be a good adviser as well as bad.
 Child's Attitude Important
 What is the child's attitude go- ing to be? One of irritation be cause she is forever nagging at him to play her way, or one of trust and friendliness because he knows she is really trying to help ?
 If she knows that nature is to be printed and that he is sure to learn better with her as quiet guide, he is lucky in having such a mother. But if she wants him to play the game her way, telling him every minute what he should do, it is likely he will be tired of being told and pay not the slight est attention to her in the end.
 It is the attitude with which a child listens to his parents advice that counts. Be sure he is think ing for himself. He may do wrong but he will learn mostly what is right, given and chance at all. once he learns resentment against advice from his mother, he will resent it from almost everybody. He will deliberately make wrong plays for spite.
 This is why all suggestion must be a tactful thing. Parents can- not expect children to play the hand exactly as they would play it themselves. Life after all is a lone hand.

FOR EVERY CHILD A TOOTH?

The heading of this article should be 'If you want your future children to have sound teeth," for l the part the expjectant mother
 plays in her children's dental
 headth will be discussed. First, it must be recognized that the teeth begin to form before
 borth. Since this is a proved fact every future mother shout dgive l serious consideration to the meas ures that should be adopted so that her offspring will develop teeth which are resistant to dental dis ease.
 The advice and treatment of a physician is the first requisite. The body must be maintained 'in a healthy condition so that all the organs and tissues are functioning at the highest point of efficiency.
 The mothers diet before the baby is born determines to a great degree the strength and structure of the bones and teeth of the in- yitamifls that assist in the assimi- lation of these minerals, must be provided if the mother is going to AAObP SAC 6kS" oSAOA6 oSAASo and sound teeth.
 One frequently hears milk re- ferred to as the ideal tooth food. This name is given to milk because it contains calcium, phosphorus, Vitamin A and, under certain con- ditions, c and even Vitamin D. In other words, it contains most of the clements necessary in tooth building. So milk can be said to be the basic food.
 In addition, the expectant mother should include in her di- etary fruits, (particularly citrus fruits), vegetables. eggs, meat, fish and accessory foods. Of course, the diet should be supervised by the physician who will in many cases suggest cod liver oil or other means of obtaining Vitamin D.

Feet, Too, Can Possess Beauty
 Few feet on grown women are beautiful.
 But perhaps it is only because they so seldom come out into the public gaze that they have inferi- ority complexes!
 We all like to look at hands that are articulate, whether they are beautiful or not. In like man. ner we are beginning to look at feet, as they appear unstockinged in sandals or. on the beach, and the feet we admire are those that look useful and at home. Any foot's beauty can be inn proved. Scrupulous cleansing, with a brush. careful rinsing and dry ing, particularly between the toes, and a nice alcohol rub and then some cold cream massaged in give a foot that cared-for look that is appealing.
 Do your toe-nails with the same care that you do your fingernails. If they are badly formed nails, or if they have been neglected all your life and show it, then start , easily, use cuticle remover, file them, rub cold cream or oil around the nails and then use only a natural enamel polish on them.
 Give them a few weeks to take to this new grooming. They will respond. And the more you ge, used to showing your feet in san dals or barefooted on the beach the less foot-conscious you will
 become, the more articulate-look' ing your feet will grow. Before many weeks you'll hnc that you just must cream and groom your feet or you'll feel Jusl as uncomfortable as if you Tel your face go.
