SUCCESSION CROPPING

In order to get the most out of
the home garden, we must keep it
producing. By careful planning,
those of US fortunate enough to
live in this area so favored by
nature can make our gardens feed
us directly for 8 or 9 months of
the year. We can also produce
crops that can be canned, frozen or
otherwise stored. This will mater
tally help the family budget during
the winter.
Many vegetables can be grown
here, both as early spring crops
and as late summer or fall crops.
Suppose we analyze this situation
in terms Of some of our generally
grown vegetables.
Snap beans may be planted May
l and later paintings can be made
at intervals of two weeks to insure
a steady supply throughout the
summer. They will be ready to
use so to 60 days after sowing.
Do not plant after August 1.
Beets may be planted as a
spring and a fall crop. Store
some of the fall crop for winter
use. You can plant as early as
the middle of April for the spring
crop and up to May 10. Sow
August l to Is for fall crop.
Cabbage should be thought of as
early and late. Set early varieties
from the middle of March to the
middle of April. Sow seed of late
varieties in the open ground, al
lowing weeks from seeds to
plants. Set plants from July 10 to
August /. You can store late cab
bage for winter.
Carrots may be sown from April
Is to May l and about August
for late crop, and will be ready to
begin using about 2 months after

Why Grow Old?

This is the third time I have

first started writing why Grow

this time because of a letter I
received from one of my mascu-

He says, in part, "Your recent
column entitled Depression. Like
Clouds, Will Soon Lift was most
reassuring. 1t helped me to see
a problem in a better light.
While the problem still exists
and maybe always will, your col

MurriedWonnenW WhoWork
Are Growing In Numbers

An increase in the number of
working married women since
the end of World War II has
shown that there is a place for
the married women in the labor
force as well as in the home, ac-
cording to Miss Frieda S. Miller,
director of the Women's Bureau
of the United States Department
of Labor.
In a Labor Day message ana
Lying the most recent Census
Bureau reports on this subject,
Miss Miller asserts the big in
crease in the number of women
workers since the war is practi-
cally entirely due to the en-
trance of married women into
the labor force.
Throughout the postwar pc
riod. the figures show, there has
been no material change in the
number of single women workers,
which stands at about SIS mil
lion.
Neither has there been any
notable increase in women work.
ers who are widowed or divorced,
of whom there are about 80 mil
lion. The number of married
women workers, on the other
hand, has grown from rs mill
lion in 1947 to 10.4 million in
April of 1852, the date of the
latest figures released.
A smaller increase between
1851 and 1852 than in earlier
postwar years was noted, but
over the rest of that period
(1947 to 1851 an average of
650,000 women was added to the
labor force each year.
The number of married women
working in April, 1852, exceeded
the World War II peak by about
2 million. Today, the report
stated, there are 19 million
women workers producing goods
and services in the United States
and slightly more than half are
married women. -...-.
The Women's Bureau director
also called attention to another

by the census figures: The tend
ency during the past decade for
women to return to work, or, to
take jobs for the first time-after
reaching middle age, whereas be-
fore World War II it was largely
the young wives in their twen-
ties and early thirties who went
into outside employment.
The April, 1858, figures showed
that the greatest proportion of
working wives were those in
their early forties, 1888 per cent
working), while married women
in their early fifties entered the
labor force in about the same
proportions as those in their
twenties and early thirties
(around IS per cent in both the
younger and older age groups) =.
Married women living with
their husbands still are much less
likely to seek employment than
single women or those who are
widowed or divorced.
In fact, single women are al
most as likely to be working as
single men, Miss Miller said.
Only teen-age girls and women
over 65 are in the labor force in
much smaller proportions than
single men of the same age, the
figures show. About so per cent
of all single women are working,
whereas only Is per cent Of mar

bands are in the labor force and
35 per cent of those who are

Women whose husbands earn
the least money are the ones
most likely to be found on jobs
of their own, while the number
dwindles as the husbands salary
bracket rises.
This is a numerical indication,
Miss Miller pointed out, that
married women work primarily,
