MARKET WAS DULL | Public Participation in Transactions i Was at Low Ebb. MNew York, April 2.—Transactions {on the stock exchange today amounted to only about 160,000 shares, the most inzignificant ‘total for a full session «ith one or two exceptions since the | raid-summer of 1916. At no time since this country’s en- trance jato the war was public pe ticipation at such low ebb. This atti- tude was transmitted to the trading eiement, where the new fax ruling dealing with short sales imposed ad- ditional hazards. Lack of definite advices from across the water was perhaps the chief de- terrent, but the undertone, aside from i moderate heaviness of investment rails, indicated no diminution of con- filence in the outcome of the German drive. Pressure against a few special stocks, such 2s Studebaker ang kin- éreq issues. resulted from recognized trade conditions and resultant doubt- ful dividend prospects. 3 Oils, utilities and some minor equip- tents denoted increased uncertainty regarding new federal price schedules and ‘rregular reactions in secondary specialties were ascribed to abatement of pool activity.

Connie Mack's new ,Athletics are shaping up well at Jacksonville except in the box. Mack is on the lookout for at least three capable pitchers.

For Work in Such vegetabies as leaf lettuce, kale, spinach, parsley, chard, turnip, Mus- tard, and any other used as a greem or salad may be gathered as soon as large enough to pay for the gathering. It is an excellent plan to make a prac- tice of thinning these crops and using the plants removed as greens or for other purposes. Chard must be used while young as it soon passes its best stage. Kale should be used while rel- atively young, as when young it is of much better quality than when allowed to become large. It is a far better plan to make frequent successive plantings of the foliage crops so as to have a supply of tender, succulent greens or salad material -continually available. Globe artichokes ‘are ready for use as soon as the bur is formed and must Need For Home Gardens Calls United States Department of Agriculture Every Back Yard be gathered hefore the blossoms ap- pear. The bur is the bud of the flower and is used in the same way as tur- nips or kohl-rabi. Jerusalem artichokes are used in the same way as potatoes. They ‘ are ready for use in the autumn and may remain in the ground until needed. Asparagus is ready for use as soon as the young shoots are three or fowr inches long. If allowed to grow too long the shoots will become tough and woody. Beans (snap) are ready for use as soon as the bean is about half formed. In the stringless varieties the pods may be allowed to remain on the plant a little longer than 'the other sorts, hut in every case they should be gath- ered while younz and tender. Lima The Boy3 in the Picture are Gather g the Product of Their Workand They are leased. beans should he gathered as soon as the pods are well filled out, but before the pods begin to turn yellow. They should be gathered while .the beans themselves still have a fresh, green appearance. After the beans become white they are past ir prime. Beets should be used whit young and tender. The beets may be thinned as soon as they are two or three inches tall and the ones that are removed ean be used in greens. The entire crop should be used before they are more than two inches in diameter. Suc- gs at intervals of two able so that a supply of tender beets will always be avail- able. Brussels sprouts are ready for use as soon as the heads are well formed andbegin to crowd each other. Cabbage is ready for use as soon as the heads are well formed and well blanched in the interior. Chinese cabbage is ready for use as soon as well blanched. Carrots may be used as soon as they reach a size to justify pulling them. Many gardeners follow the practice of thinning the carrots and using those removed as vegetables -or:in soups. They may be grown as an all-season crop or as a late crop following some- thing else. Size is not important, but very large ones are inclined to be tough and pithy. Caukflower is ready for use as soon as the bleached heads are well filled out with the masses of globular ma- terial 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 as soon as it reaches a god size and is blanched. It may be used green for stews, soups, ete. Collards may be used as soon as the rosette of leaves which forms the head is developed and blanched. Sweet corn should not be pulled un- til the 'ears are well filled out. This is about the time the silk begins to die. When the milk becomes doughy the corn is too old for table use. Cucumbers are ready for use when- ever large enough, and before they have begun to turn yellow. Eggplants may be used at any time after the fruit is large enough to justify picking. It should not be allowed to remain on the bushes too long or decay will set in. Endive should be used as soom- as blanched. Blanching may be accom- plished by tying the leaves together as soon as the plants are well grown. Kohl-rabi must be used while tender. This may easily be deter- mined by cutting the thickened stem which constitutes the edible poriion If tough and stringy, it is too old. Muskmelons.—Color, . size and gen- eral appearance serve as guides in telling when they are ready to pick They should not be allowed to rem: on the vines until dead ripe, as tl are past their prime "~ when ful ripened. Watermelons.—Ripeness is deter- mined by sound, and by general ap- pearance. A ripe melon when struck with the hand gives a dull - sound which is readily recognized after a few trials. Okra should,be gathered while the pods are very younz and tender and while the seeds are still soft. Onions may be pulled and used as bunch onions when the bulbs are from a ‘quarter to a half inch in diameter. 1f for boiled onions the bulbs may be any size. Parsnips are not used until late in the autumn when the ground is frozen. Freezing improves their flavor: in fact, it is not considered advisable to use. them as a summer vegetable. Size is of small importance, but those from 1% to 2 inches in diameter are considered best. Peas are ready for picl -hard freezing occurs. | throughout the: winter. as -the pods are well filled and while the peas are still green, yet before either the peas become hard or the pods whitish or yellowish. - Peas should - not be ogathered. ‘when to young, and if too old. will be of poor quality. s Peppers may be gathered at eny time until they begin to turn _red. For some purposes they are allowed to ripen, but usually are picked green. Early potatoes may be used at any time during their growth. An old- time rule is to begin digging them when they have reached the size of a hen's egg. It is advisable te begin using them when they have reached this size, digging the supply from day to day as needed, allowing the bulk of the crop to grow until needed or untiluntil they mature. Late potatoes should be allowed to grow umtil the vines die or are killed by frost. Sweet potatoes are of poor quality unless allowed to reach maturity. The simplest test is to break one of the potatoes. 1f drops of water .collect on the broken surface the crop is not mature. This crop grows until frost kills the vines, but it is permissible to use them quite a while before the end of the season. Radishes may be used as soon as large enough. A common - practice is to begin thinning them as soon as large enough. They should all be used while young and tender. Salsify is grown and handled in the same way as parsnips and the same rules may be followed in its use. Summer Squashes are ready for use as soon as large enough. They, how- ever, should not be picked when very small, as when youngg they are wat- ery and of poor quality. - As soon a.; the shell hardéns they are too ol foi table use. Winter squashes should be allowed to grow until the vines die or until frost kills them, but the squashes should be storéd before being frosted. Tomatoes should be picked -when fully 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 in- jured by this practice. . Turnips for greens may be used as soon as the foliage is large enough to justify picking; if for the roots, when the roots are from 1% to 2 inches in diameter. When planted as a late summer crop for roots for storage, they should be allowed to grow until ' Those from 2 to 3 inches in diameter are best. Larger ones may be used for stock feed. The radish is quite hardy and may be grown throughout the winter in the nifiddle section of the United States. In many portions of the South it is pos- sible to grow it in the open ground For the home garden the seed should be sown in the open ground about the .time of the last killing frosts. The seed should be sown in drills at a convenient distance for cultivation, usually about 19 inches. To be of good quality, radishes must be grown quickly in rich soil, and be used as soon as of sufficient size. Suc- cessive plantings should be made every few days until the weother becomes warm. They will not withstand hot weather and are suited to early spring and late autumn planting. There are autumn varieties of radi- shes which may be grown late in the season and stored for winter us the same as beets or turnips. A few of these will add variety to the winter supply of vegetables—U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture. CERTIFICATES A THRIFT STAMPS 4 Per Cent WAR SAVING STAMPS, 4/ Per Cent ’ OF INDEBTEDNESS T .
