Germany to Grow Cotton.
Germnny nnd her allies are undertak-
ing to overcome their shortage of cob
ton by developing production In Bul-
garin. Offlcinl dispatches recently said
the Bulgarian government has under-
taken to place large blocks of suitable
land at the disposal of planters. The
principal cultivation will be done in
the lowlands and river border of the
Dobrudja and In tho vicinity ot Adrla-
tiling else. Size is not important, but
very large ones are iucliued to be
tough and pithy.
Cauliflower is ready for use ns soon
ns tho bleached heads are well filled
out with the masses of globular mate-
rial which if allowed to develop would
form seed. It is important that it be
cut before the heads become old.
Celery is ready for use us soon as it
reaches a good size and is blanched.
It muy be used green for stews, soups,
etc.
Collurds may be used as soon as tne
rosette of leaves which forms the head
I Is developed and blanched.
Sweet corn should not be pulled un-
i til the ears are well Ailed out. Tills
I is about the time tho silk begins to
die. When the milk becomes doughy
the corn Is too old for tabic use.
Cucumbers are ready for use when-
ever large enough, nnd before they
have begun to turn yellow.
Eggplants may be used at any time
after tho fruit is large enough to Jus-
tify picking. It should not be allowed
•to remain on the bushes too long or
decay will set In.
Salsify is grown nnd handled in the
same way ns parsnips and the same
rules tnay be followed in its use.
Summer squashes are ready for use
as soon ns large enough. They, how-
ever. should not be picked when very
small, as when young they are watery
and of poor quality. As soon as the
shell hardens they are too old for ta-
ble use.
Winter-squashes should be allowed
to grow until the vines die or until
frost kills them, but the squashes
should be stored before being frosted.
Tomatoes should be picked when ful-
ly ripe, but should not’be allowed to
remain on the vines until soft. It Is
not a good practice to pick them while
partly ripe, as the flavor Is Injured by
this practice.
Turnips for greens may be used ns
soon as the foliage Is large enough to
justify picking; if for the roots, when
the roots are from l1^ to 2 inches in
diameter. When plunted ns a late
summer crop for roots for storage,
they should be allowed to grow until
hard freezing occurs. Those from 2 to
3 inches in diameter are best. Larger
ones may be used for stock feed.
