Provision should be made as far as possible to produce vegetables as long as the growing season will per mit; when the regular season is over a supply will still bo made available to a great extent by the use of the cold frames for the growing of let tuce, radishes, etc., by the storage cellar; and the pantry of canned goods. Selection of Vegetables for the War Garden. In a valuable back garden lot, veg etables shoujd be planted which would cost tho most money on the market and which can be successfully grown with careful attention. As a rule, it will be unprofitable to plant the whole lote to potatoes. This food is usually cheaper han other veget ables that must necessarily 'be bought, such as cabbage, tomatoes, beans, peas, cauliflower, lettuce, cel ery, sweet corn, etc. In the follow ing table is listed the comparative value of vegetables crops that might be grown, 100-feet row of each being taken as a basis for comparison: Vegetable Yield per 100-ft Row , Asparagus String Beans 1 BEANS WILL BE PROFITABLE. We cannot overdo on bean pro duction. ' We are limited in bean production only by seed resources. Many farmers and many storekeep ers, as well as residents of the cities and towns, have small quantities of beans, varying from five or ton pounds up to several hundred pounds of them. Patriotic spirit should make these beans available for plant ing purposes in the gardens, lots, and in the fields. Lady Washington beans are especially desirable. Mex ican tree beans and Red Mexicans are well-known, successful varieties in both Eastern and Western Oregon. The demand for 'bean seed is becom ing so insistent that it is doubtful whether there will be enough seed of these varieties for planting. ' Num erous other varieties of the colored beans, speckled beans, kidney beans and so on mature in both Eastern and Western Oregon every year. While these may not command as high a price by a half cent to one cent per pound, usually these larger beans will yield as well or bettor than some of the smaller-seeded varieties. Reorardless of yield or price, there is J j every indication that we shall need, i for food purposes, every bean that Oregon can produce and that there will be profit in their production. If you cannot secure Lady Washingtons, or Mexican tree beans or Red Mexi cans, grow any other kma 01 Dean Strawberries for Your Sunday f Dinner 2 Boxes for 25c I Choice Asparagus, 10c Per Pound Rhubarb 5c Per Pound Green Peas, 10c Per Pound Our Fruits and Vegetables Are Received Fresh, Daily PHONE US YOUR ORDERS THE MAMMOTH GROCERY 1211 Adams Avenue Phone Main 82 iron Dent.
