GARDENS AGAIN ~ ARE IMPORTANT Just as Essential This Year as During War Period, Say Fed- eral Specialists. ; MUST PROCUCE MORE FOOD Several Hardy Crops Will Withstand Considerable Frost and Should Be Planted Early—Make -Plant- ings at Short.Intervals. (Prepared by the United States. Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Gardens are going to be just as im- portant the coming year as during the war, period, United States department of agriculture specialists declare. High food costs, they say, are likely to remain until more to eat is grown and distributed. Farm gardens, -vil- lage gardens, and city back yard gar- dens all will help. Food produced in the garden not only helps balance the family budget but releases that grown on farms for the use of people who are entirely dependent upon others. With the lengthening of the days it will not be long until land can be worked, and such hardy crops as peas, onions, lettuce, radishes and beets planted, especially throughout the low- er .Gulf Coast region. The average date of the last killing frost of the winter in this section is not later than March 15. This zone includes the southern portion of South Carolina, the southern half of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, almost the whole of Louisiana and all ‘southeastern Texas. Several of the more hardy garden 0 one has been able to figure out just why it’is that women take td* millinery that anticipates spring—and no one can doubt that they do wear it. With charming audacity a few straw hats courageously make their appear- ance along with January thaws in the coldest sections of the country and in the South they enter, to remain. It is the tourist’s millinery—the resort hats probably—that entice even the stay-at-’ including - those mentioned K €rops, When the fildht Time Comes Let the Girls Be Shown How to Plant and Care for the Beds. above, will withstand considerable frost and may be u)unted at least a month before the average’date for the last frost. Take a Chance on Early Planting. Irish potatoés are easily injured by freezing, but they require about a month to come up and may be planted at about the same time as lettuce and radist:os. [t puyrs to take n chance on the early planting of certain of the more hardy garden -vegcetables. If they are killed or severely injured they may be replanted. A good meth- od is ‘to make ahout three plantings at intervals of two weeks, and if the first planting is Kkilled the Iater ones take its place; if not Killed, early weg- etables’ will be produced and the sec- ond and . third plantings “provide a continuous supply. Keeping up the gardening. interest ‘throughout the season is ju s im- portant as making an e v start. About the timé the more 1y vege- tables are planted in the garden the seeds of tomato, eggplant, and pep- pers should be started in a window box indoors. By the time the ground and the air are warm these plants will be of good 2 and ready to set in the garden. In' the meantimé a.few “frostproof” or hardy cabbage plants ' -may be set out. Next will come the “planting of snap or string beans. Then } fpllows the planting of Lima beans, Summer squashes, melons of all kinds, ' and other of the more tender -vege- | tables. Remember. the Greens, Too. And don’t forget the greens. We all need more greens in our diet. Spinach, kale, and turnips will keep you sup- plied with greens during the late fall and early winter, but you should have a bed of spinach planted now, in the Gulf Coast region, for early sprlng greens. Early turnips and beets are excellent for use as greens and later you can have delicious Swis$ chard. Bassella withstands heat and makes satisfactory. .summer greens. Thé main point in getting the most out of your garden is to begin early and keep going throughout the entire season, making every foot of land produce to the limit. . . OBTAINING EGGS IN WINTER| . Supply of Bone Meal or Beef Scraps Should Be Kept Before Hens at All Times. The farmér who wants winter eggs should keep a box of bone meal or ‘beef. scraps before the fowls, or give them a feed of freshly-cut bones ev- tery few days. In addition, supply {them with vegetables occasionally, +make them scratch for all their grain Teed. and keep the fowls warm at night. | homes into discarding their midwinter headwear and donning something that has a promise of spring In it, Spring millinery is a survival of the fittest among the many and diverse styles that appear at”the winter re- sorts, with the addition of models in which variations in the use of mate- rials appear. Already the seal of ap- proval is set on the hats that appear in the group pictured ‘above—hats of the simpler sort, having, with one ex- ception, soft outlines. All of them, but the widebrimmed model, may ' be placed in the class of street hats and this one is to be included in the list of “pastime hats"—those glorified sport hats of gay and beautiful colors and fine materials. This particular example is made of alternating rows of narrow faille ribbon and a braid, in light green, |' with a pin-wheel rosette of the ribbon for adornment. It i§ faced with white | tagal and may be worn with §port ¢lothes or other summer apparel, In the dark hat,.with feather orna- ment at the side, there is a splendid exawple of hair-cloth millinery. The ] X Small Girl’s Criticirp. Little five-year-old Lois had been told not to be in snch a hurry when she put away her playthings, to take a little more care and, pack them straight. One evening her grandma was taking her home .after dark. As they were walking along the' street lights were turned on. She looked up and asked: “Grandma, who turned all of those lights on at ence?” On being told a man at the electric light plant turned them on, she said: “Well, then, who turns on ‘all the lights in the sky?' Grandma téld her God did that. Noticing that the new moon was tilted at a’ different angle from what she had noticed hefore, she said rather disgust- edly} “Well, I wish God would take just a litfle more time when he turns on the lights and turn that moon on straight while he is abot it.” —A—.—Broshé TOBACCONIST 400 Minnesota Avenue Keeps the best stock of Tobacco in the Northwest, also.
