A LETTER FROM YOU

She always asks in her quiet way,
'Was there any mail for me today?"
Do you not know what she means, boy?
A letter from you who are still her joy!
Once you were Graded in her arms, all smiles,
Now between you and her are many miles.
You're no longer baby, with baby ways
But grown up man, who in busy days
Forgetting her too often, with her quiet way
So her querulous question "Any mail today"
Not much in return for those years she spent
With hands always busy and back often bent
Over tub brimfull of your clothes or mine;
1t seems bad she should for letter pine.
Just few lines, asking care you well?"
Will bring more happiness than l can tell
For she's always asking in a quiet way
''Was there any mail for me today?"
Being mother myself can indeed understand
How token so small, can seem, so grand,
And this seems sad, but it's all too true,
Some morning she'll be gone, and not ask for
a letter from you.

Simple Formula

A simple formula in quanti-
ties suitable for the small gar
den is as follows: | tablespoon
Paris green or white arsenic. l
quart of bran. , tablespoons
molaSses or syrup. l pint OF
water.
Mix the Paris green or white
arsenic with the bran. Put the
molaSSeS or syrup into the
water and mix thoroughly. Then
mix the liquid with the dry ma
terialS until the bran is crumbly.
Some people think that the bait
is made more attractive to the
cutwormS by the addition OF
the juice Of an orange.
The bait is spread in early
evening as the cutwormS emerge
from the soil 10 get in their
damage during the night. Bait
may be removed again each
morning if there is any chance
that children or pets may get at
IL. The Paris green or the
white arsenic in the mixture are
both deadly poiSonS.

Try New Ones

Fertilize the soil into which
these divisions are to be
planted. Use well-rotted ma
nure. plus commercial fertilizer.
Rhubarb is a heavy feeder and
the plants Will be in the same
soil for another five or six
years. When the soil is ready,
set the divisions in rows. four
feet apart, making the rows the
same distance from one an
other.
If your rhubarb has never
been of high quality try some
of the newer varieties, such as
Macdonald or Ruby instead of
dividing your own roots. Since
the space Is TO be used, IT
might as we'll produce enough

Or in Hills

Sweet potatoes may be
planted in hills, set 4 to 6 feet
apart each way, or IN rows. as
indicated above, leaving 6 feet
between rows so the vines may
spread. Without good vine
growth there will not be large
tuberS, for the food made by
the leaves of the vines is stored
in the tuberS. Prepare the
ground 10 a depth of 6 inches,
placing half the fertilizer in the
bottom of either trench or hills.
Save the other half and use il as
a side dressing a month after
the vines begin 10 spread.
Cover the fertilizer at the bot
tom of row or hill with several
inches of soil, then set the sweet
potato plants. Do not rush them
into the ground. Hold in pro-
tected spot until the night tenn
pcratures are above so degrees,
then plant. The sweet potato
Is tropical plant. related TO the
morning glory, and needs hot
days and nights for good growth.

Vines Spread

This years price for plants is
about 25 cents dozen. Eighty
plants will do 100 feet of row,
spaced 15 inches apart. The yield
from this footage should be from
Ia 10 2 bushels. Compare the
cost of the plants with the mar
ket price of this quantity of
sweet potatoes on the autumn
market and it is easy to see that
this crop saves money for the
gardener.
Small gardens are too

size OF large garden should GER
tanly include planting. Choose
the best drained spot with the

Care OF
Rhubarb

MOST people who grow rhu-
vi barb have found the crop
Disappointing this spring. The
weather has been so wet that
the stalks of rhubarb have been
succulent-- almost too succulent,
but with little flavor. In some
gardens the stalks are very
short, because there has not
been enough sun TO develop
long stalks.
The crop for next year can
be greatly improved by intelli-
gent care now. First of all. the
flower stalks beginning to form
should be taken off Just as soon
as they are seen.
