WOMEN’ Nature’s Children Garden Pea (Pisum Sativum). BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. UR garden pea is & native of Europe, Even before the Christian era this vegetable was cultivated for its nour- ishing seed. Today it ranks among the most important three canned vegetables. The canning in- dustry is very specialized and good roads, factories, storehouses and liv- ing accommodations must be built in order to take care of the work con- nected with it. “The pea must be planted each year. The soil required is fertile, well- drained and mellow. Because peas en- rich the soil they are used as a rota- tion crop in many sections. In some cases peas are grown s & nurse crop for alfalfa. Where the climate per- "s mits, two crops of peas may be grown in one season. In the case of growing peas on & wholesale plan for canning, they are | usually grown under contract and un- der these conditions the contractor | specifies the varieties to be grown. Some companies even reserve the right to provide the seeds in order to be sure of getting what they want. As a rule the canners assume a gen- eral supervision of the crop. In this way, weather permitting, the contrac- tor. who has taken orders for a cer- tain number of cases of peas to be de- livered at a given time, is at all times aware of his supply and should the crop not be as bountiful as expected he will have time to buy up other fields. Because of the easier handling it has been found more economical to have several canning crops grown in the vicinity of the canning factory. Since very early days many, many varieties have been developed. To judge by the names given them they have all the qualifications of a per- fect pea. Little Gem, Surprise, Tele- phone, Advancer, Perfection and Ad- miral are a sample. There are two great classes, smooth and wrinkled. 80 far there are no fluted, ribbed or angled ones. So long as they are sweet and fresh the consumers are | satisfied. Like their companions, the cereals, peas are not, as a rule, cultivated. They are a cool-weather crop and usually have a good start before the weed crop begins to wake up. All the time the grower is thinking of his harvest and all this involves the pests that hover over plants are also doing their kind of thinking. The pea aphid and the pea weevil have to | be fought. The aphid is the one that enjoys the fresh green pea and the weevil attacks the seed. So, when you | look at the rows and rows of growing peas. or the shelves laden with cans of them, remember “it took labor to put them thar.” (Copyright. 1935.) S FEATURES. Bedtime THE EVENING Stories What Little Mrs. Peter Saw. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. In ylelding to despair be slow. For what's ahead you never know. —Old Mother Nature. plenty of worries of her own. She had a family of lively little bunnies, and if there are any wee folk who can make more worries for their mother than a fam- ily of bunnies I don’t know who they are. You see, Mrs. Peter was having & hard time to keep track of all the children. They were just at the age when they were filled with curlosity from their little white tails to their wabbly little noses. They just wanted to be poking into everything, and they couldn't see any sense at all in having to stay in the dear Old Briar Patch when they wanted to go outside to get some sweet clover. So it was that Mrs, Peter hadn’t seen Peter slip out late that afternoon and start for the Old Orchard. She hadn’t seen him start, but she had missed him soon after he had started. She had hurriedly visited Peter's favorite forms, but of course had not found him sitting in one of them. Then she had hurried to the edge of the dear Old Briar Patch to look out across the Green Meadows. She sat up, as Rabbits do. At once, in the dis- tance, something white, moving very fast, caught her attention. She tried to sit a little straighter, and she stared very hard. Then she saw what it was.

Flip, right at Peter’s heels, was trav- eling so fast that when Peter dodged and shot out at right angles Flip over-ran. He put the brakes on, so to speak, so suddenly that he turned a complete somersault. It really was funny, but little Mrs. Peter didn't see anything funny in it. Neither did Peter. Peter had gained quite a distance and was running his very best in an- other direction, but Flip was not to be discouraged. Once more he was after Peter, and my, my, how he did run! This was fun. I mean it was fun for Flip. It wasn't fun for Peter, who knew that he was running for his life, and it wasn’t fun for little Mrs, Peter, who was looking on. Again Flip was right at Peter’s heels, and again little Mrs, Peier's heart sank way down in despair. But again Peter dodged and her heart be- gan to beat more evenly. However, she was in despair. If only Peter had been a little nearer the dear Old Briar Patch or a little nearer the Old Stone Wall on the edge of the Old Or- chard, he would have had more of a chance. As it was, it seemed to little Mrs, Peter that he had no chanc= at all.

BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS, Cannon THE Cannon family is of Welsh descent. In early times in Wales the River Taf was called “Canon” or the “singing river.” Canon is & neme also applied to a rule, & law, or a dignitary of the church. It will be noted that the coat of arms illustrated displays as a crest a can- non, carrying out another idea. This symbol was undoubtedly adopted in comparatively recent times. This family is now widely spread in the United States, particularly in the Southern section. The Can- nons were early settlers in Charles- ton, 8. C., where Daniel Cannon, the | founder, lived for more than 60 years. | He was a member of the Congress of South Carolina in 1775, commanded the “Cannon volunteers,” and was one of the signers against the famous stamp act at the “Liberty Tree” in Charleston, 1776. Daniel Cannon was | a substantial citizen and an ardent | churchman, serving as vestryman in | St. Philip's Church for more than 30 years. | The blazonry of the arms here re- | produced is as follows: “Gules, on a bend argent, double cotised or, a pellet.
