Directors discouraged Wilson, president of the Long ft each, Calif., "Pioneer club" at a special meet ing Tuesday evening, but their ad vice hud little 'nppurent effect on his good humor and intention to bring 00 migrants to make a co operative, livelihood from logging In this region, to be followed event ually by agriculture and Industry.

In any coniliiiied oiicrntion to defend ine new worlil iiKulnst invasion, Ihe bulk of the work would liavo to be borne by the military forces of tho United Stales.

Here's Vegetables To Plant in June What chance hits thn Juno pluntml ve(ietul)lo Ranfcn? IhlK in a iniL'Hlioii ankoil by many h late starter those days, and the aiiHwer is good. Almost alt or the vcnt'tnblos can bo plant with succetts in late June. Some of I he cool weather leaf croiH, mii'h na lettuce and spin ach, will not do so well, but al most any of the root crops, tho vtnoH, eic. will thrive. Here is a list of veRetnblcs thnt can be planted even in July: Kale, ttweet corn, carrots, bush squash, leans, summer and fall radishes, celery, cabbace, turnips, swtss chard, beets, cos lettuce ami en dive; and there aro no doubt oth ers. llrmember, when sowing late, always sow early (quick nuilur- iiir) varieties. The thing to remember about late pluntiiiKs Is tho length of Ihetr season. In some of tho ex treme northern climates, where the season is very short, some of these vegetables mtglit not be successful if an early frost gets to them. In practically all communi ties, however, the list may be planted with complete assurance well into July. Crops May Be Forced The short season may be com pensated for by forcing your crops with good care, plenty of moisture und plant food. Tho fact lhat the weather is warm will cause them to germinate ijulehly, and If fed properly, or If planted in a rich soil they will make con siderably faster progress than thd spring planted crops. Sweet corn Is ono of tho best crops to plant late. It Is a fast grower In warm weather, und al though an early frost might get the best nf it. the cbanco of suc cess is well worth your efforts. Such crops as turnips and sunash will not bo effected by a slight frost. Hint on Late Planting If you got started very late, you can always buy plant h of the most tender crops, sucli as toma toes. cnhlmgCf and H r u s s e I s sprouts. Grow in i; them yourself in little boxes is better. If you will remember that a lute planted garden must have ex tra care In order to bring it to ma turity in a shorter time, your June or July plantings will be successful. Good cultivation, plenty of moisture and an applica tion of t pounds of balanced plant food to each HM siiuaru ieot, ure the three watchwords.
