FINEST QUALITY
PEAS WIN FAVOR
Intermediate Variety Bear Better
When Given Support of Low
Crush or Wire
LITTLE MARVEL IS SUPERIOR
Best Plan to Depsnd on Succoaaion
i Planting a Week or Ton Days Apart
—flotation la Alao of Much
Importance
The very finest quality peas at the
present time are neither strictly
speaking dwarfs nor are they tall
They are Intermediate and while they
may be grown as dwarfs and without
brushing they bear better when given
the support of low brush or a narrow
strip of chicken wire These are the
jradua and Lnxton types of pea
which vary from 30 Inches to almost
four feet according to variety All
lo better with aupport although com-
monly grown as dwarfs They give a
lieuvier yield when held upright
Wrinkled Type Superior
Of the very early pens of the wrin-
kled type which Is much superior to
the earliest smooth-seeded type Lit-
tle Marvel still holds a high place
among really dwarf pens the vines
being only about eighteen Inches It
matures In eight weeks and Is very
linrdy and of the finest quality A
little earlier Is Market Surprises
Aluska and Maud S smooth-seeded
pens still remain the earliest of all
of good quality If tnken very young
but not equal to the wrinkled vari-
eties which are not so hurdy and can-
mot be planted or cropped so early
It Is possible with the variety of
peas now on the market to plan a
aood succession planting starting with
Alaska Surprise Little Marvel Grad-
sis Lnxtonian and Thomas Luxton
However It Is better to depend up-
on a successionul planting a week or
ten days apart ns the senson may be
®ueh as to bring the cropping of dif-
ferent peas too close together at ma-
turity If planted at the same time
The planting of peas In double rows
lx Inches apart these double rows to
the three feet apart Is about right for
the more dwarf varieties but if the
more vigorous growing dwarfs are to
be planted they will need at least four
feet between the rows unless they are
lven brush or wire
The round seeded pens can go Into
the ground as soon as It can be dug
but It Is best to wait a week or two
for the wrinkled varieties to be on
the safe side
Rotation la Nocessary
The peas should not be planted this
year In the same position that they
occupied last year Neither should
they be placed In ground occupied the
previous senson by beans for best re-
sults A gardener should study bis
garden plan each year with an eye to
moving the peas and benns across the
garden so Hint they will not occupy
the same space In succeeding years
Of course heavy fertilizing partly
makes up for the exhausting of the
coll but It cannot wholly do so These
two vegetables take more out of the
coll than the others and it Is more
necessary to see that they rotate
SAN JOSE SCALE INCREASING
0
Lime Sulphur and Scaleelde Must Be
Applied if Orchard Treea
Are to Be Saved
During the last two or three years
at good ninny people In the North with
home orchards have believed that the
Sun Jose scale was becoming extinct
As a matter of fact the sleet which
-persisted so long on the trees the win-
ter of four years ago suffocated the
-scale Just as does the lime-sulphur
cpray when applied After that win--ter
many old trees revived and have
grown well since then Now the scale
Is catching up again and unless we
'have another such sleet lime-sulphur
-and scaleelde will have to be put on
If the trees nre to be saved A still
day Is an Ideal time to spray with
lime-sulphur because It Is easier to
reach all parts of the tree when there
Is no wind
KEEP RECORDS OF PLANTING
lEnablea Gardener to Rioall Barlleet
and Lateet Varietlea In Planting
Season'' V - -
Gardeners should keep records of
planting dates and maturity of certain
varieties of vegetables so that they
'tuny recall the earliest ths latest and
the’ mid-season varieties when plant-
ing time comes This Information will
-anve trouble and enable one to plant
so the tnhle tuny be' supplied during

TESTING SUGAR-BEET
SEEDS FOR IMPURITY
Heavy Losses to Growers During
Past Two Years
Bureau of Plant Industry Conducting
Experiments- in Florida to Be-
tormlno p-oenc of Mangol
Wuitil Sesds
(Prepared by ths United Itatei Department
of Agriculture)
Because of the heavy losses ex-
perienced by beet sugar companies
during the past two years through the
presence of mangel wurzel or stock
beet seed In the Imported sugar-beet
seed the bureau of ptant Industry of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture is making growing tests of
samples of such seeds The tests are
being made In Florida In the open
air Lots of Imported seed have been
sent by beet-sugar compnnlerf for test-
Loading Boots for Shipment to Factory
at Owoaso Mich
Ing When any of these snmples nre
found to contain stock beet seed the
senders will be notified before plum-
ing time
Similar tests made In the green-
houses during the past year made pos-
sible the location of mixtures con-
taining stock beets of red or ornnge-
colored varieties It has been found
that white-fleshed varieties of stock
beets cannot be determined through
germination tests alone but must be
grown to a considerable size before
their distinguishing characteristics nre
discernible That the heavy losses ex-
perienced during the past two years
due to this cause constitute a strong
argument for the development of an
American-grown supply of sugar-beet
seed sufficient for the needs of our
beet Industry Is the belief of the
officials working on the problem
DESTROY LAST YEAR’S PESTS
Excellent Plan to Remove All Stalka
and Burn Them— Ashes Make
Good Fertilizer
In getting ready to make garden this
spring It Is an excellent plan to see
that all the stalks of last year’s vege-
tables which may have been left stand-
ing are removed and burned
In the first place the ashes will tnnke
good fertilizer os the stems of nearly
all vegetables contain excellent ferti-
lizing material In their ash and an
even more Important consideration Is
thnt by removing and destroying them
the Insect pests are likely to be
cheeked
Many Insect pests find refuge under
boards among the dried leaves or
stalks over winter Often the spores
of fungus diseases which create havoc
are only wnltlng In these old stems to
get Into action with balmy weather
By burning the refuse n great quantity
of them will he destroyed
PREPARING POTATO SEED BD
Select Beat Piece of Land and Put It
In Good Shape — Clever Sod
la Excellent
It pays to hove the potato ground
In good shnpe Select the best piece
of ground you have You nre putting
more money Into the seed than for
any other fnrm crop nnd probably
more Into the cultivation too and so
you should have the best Innd Clover
sod mnkes the best potato ground Old
blue grass sod Is all right If plowed
deep enough nnd worked up In good
shape Timothy sod Is not good Avoid
fresh manure j It produces scab
PRODUCTS THAT PAY FARMER
Profitable to Raise Lets Major Crop
and Devote More Tims to
Poultry and Dairy
Rather thnn raise staple crops that
cannot he sold at even cost of produc-
tion It will he wise to devote less time
to major fnrm crops ana more labor
to preparing to Increase poultry and
dairy products There seems to be
at all times active demand for poultry
and dairy products at prices that pay
well for labor and Investment
FERTILIZER INCREASES YIELO
However' It Doee Not Correct Poor
Preparation of toll or Look -
of Hiimuo
Commercial fertilizer has Increased
yields and at e - profit flat do not
expect the fertilizer to take the place
of poor preparation or lack of humua
In the aoll A good teedhed with suffi-
cient humus are" requirements for
profitable return on commercial for-tUUor

GRACEFUL TEA GOWN
THE SEPARATE BLOUSE
OF' course not nil of us are given to
wearing us eluborate a tea gown
as our lllustrntlou sets forth but we
like to have It iu reserve The home
negligee becomes the more Important
us the strenuous demands of club life
and outside uctlvities Increase There
Is “power In reiiose" nnd there Is direct
psychology In relaxing from the day's
anxieties and withdrawing Into the sa-
cred precincts of home A becoming
negligee Is part of the treatment for
“nerves" and it need not exceed the
simplicity of one of the new “slip-on”

Its favor nnd It Is popular 111 two-
toned tuffetn and satin with Intriguing

Many deep-colored satins hnve

Satin crepe or ennton lends Itself to

aklrta which herald a vogue for
the shirtwaist They nre entirely
out of the ordinary referring to those
adorable new fringed tweeds home-
