It's Time
TO SOiU Fall
Leaf Crops
BY Andrew A. Duncan
University of Maryland

Seedlings of leafy vegetables
for fall and winter should be
seeded before the end of August
All the leaf crops respond to
high fertility, so select your best
soils for them. Mix lime and fer
tillzer thoroughly with the top
soil Use ~ pounds of complete
fertilizer (such as 10-10-1O) and
u pounds of pulverized limestone
per 100 square feet.
YATES is the variety of col
lards which Is hardest and best.
Seed directly where the plants are
to be grown and thin the plants
in the row to stand II to 10
inches apart.
Spinach may be seeded three
fourths of an inch deep in rows
only 8 to 10 inches apart. 1t is
better to seed several rows close
together so as to form a bed of
spinch. The plants should be care
fully thinned to stand to 6
inches apart in the rows. Sow
the variety VIRGINIA SAVOY
now for your fall spinach and
then wait until October and make
a second sowing Of OLD DOMIN.
ION to overwinter.
DWARF BLUE CURLED
SCOTCH kale will make good
growth if seeded now. 1t may be
handled the same as spinch. Some
leaves may be picked from the
plants during fall and winter to
provide constant supply of
fresh, healthful greens.

DR.. Whittiers Interpretation of
the state law on use of school

On the P-TA sponsored Foreign
Languages in Elementary Schools
program, he was frank to admit
that he didn't know the answers
and hadn't found anyone in the
country who did.
He asked for, and got, permits
sion to set up a research project
TO solve questions on whether
continuity in teaching foreign
languages was necessary; on what
should be dropped from the cur
riculum to make room for FILES;
and whether 1t should be extended
to the junior high program.

tional people such as bus drivers
