WHILE the season is advancing so rapidly and this food prepared ness campaign caught us, as the sea son had already opened up. the most important matter to be considered by the back-yard gardener is the earli ness. or, in other words, to take ad vantage of every possible factor which will push the crop through to maturity. It is to be supposed that every man, woman or child doing' gardening work has by this time prepared his garden and many have the majority of vege tables already planted. However, too much cannot be said regarding the first preparation. Ground that is stiff, com pact and poorly prepared is sure to give discouragement when the vegetables are sown. Those garden patches which have been thoroughly worked up either with a spade or plow will give the greatest and earliest returns. In many in stances, due to the anxiety to get the seed sown, the first preparation is done hastily and somewhat carelessly. The next thing to aid in pushing the crop through is plenty of cultivation with the hoe. This stirs up the soil and opens it up to the action of the air and sunlight, allowing it to become warm and the plant food to become available at the earliest possible time. If the ground becomes crusted with the frequent rains, cultivation should be constantly given. Many gardeners realize this fact and are hindered from cultivating the slow er root crops, such as carrots, turnips, beets, mangels, etc., which take a long time to germinate becauso it is impos sible for them to see the rows. They fear that early cultivation perhaps will destroy the tender plantlets. A practice which has been followed by a great many successful gardeners to alleviate this difticulty is that of sowing radishes sparsely in the same row as the beets, turnips or carrots have been sown. The radishes, being quick to germinate and "an early grow er, soon appear on the surface, mark ing out the row. which may then be easily cultivated. The stirring of the soil thus tends to hasten the more tardy vegetables, and later on the rad ishes can be pulled up out of the way. Frequently a mistake is made by planting the seed too deep. In marking out the row with a hoe or stick, a lit tle ridge is made on each side, and fre quently gives the impression that the seeds are not being sown deep enough. It should be remembered that the germinating and establishing of the roots in the seed bed Is all that is nec essary. It merely takes more time for the plant to push its way through the extra inch or so of soil. Roughly speaking, the smaller seeds should be planted shallower than the larger ones. About the only vegetable that can be planted deej with safety are peas, which will do well if sown two inches or deeper. Beans, corn, squash should be planted about one Inch, and the other vegetables from She-half to one-fourth of an inch. Espe cially is this true of lettuce, parsnips, etc. About this time late cabbage, cauli flower, cucumbers and squash can be planted in the gardens in the Willam ette Valley and Western Oregon sec tions. In Gastern Oregon, above altitudes of 3000 and more, it is unwise as yet to plant the more tender crops. However, the second planting of peas should be begun by this time. The wrinkled, seeded peas are the more tender, and should be planted laterthan the smooth seeded kind. In the Willamette Valley and in some sec tions of Central and Eastern Oregon planting of beans can be made. Friday Features in Outer Apparel for Spring The Suit WHATbu Can Make At Home By Mrs. Portland. BOOKS are the most obliging of friends, for when he wants to get help and advice from them they will open up and give us freely of what they have to say, and when we think we have had enough of them we can shut them up and leave them at will. In the cleaning and re-clothing of the house and its inmates in the Spring, the books should not be forgotten. A good cover on a partly worn book will considerably lengthen its life. If leaves or sections of the book have become loosened these should be put back in place and held there with a narrow strip of fresh paper pasted in. When all leaves are well secured in their proper place a stout piece of muslin should be pasted to the back of the book and allowed to extend about half an inch over the sides. A cloth cover can then be put on, cutting It from the book as a pattern. With the back spread out- flat. Make the cover an inch or two longer and wider than the book backs except at the upper and lower ends of the back In the center, which should be only The suit, as illustrated, is a black and white check with pockets in the skirt and coat patch pockets.

Lay the book inside the cover, turn the cloth In over the two backs, mitering the corners, and hold ing the cover in place with thread drawn up and down with a needle from top to bottom, taking care not to draw it so tight as to prevent the book's opening easily.

It is much less work to paste the clippings only at the top. Punch three or four holes at regular intervals along the edge of each leaf and fasten them to gether with wire, string, ribbon or tape.

DIVORCE REFUSED IRVINES Judge Davis Dismisses Woman's Sixth Suit. Six imes has Annie M. Irvine filed suit in the Circuit Court for divorce from William J. Irvine. Five times did William J. turn over some of his real property to his wife and five times were the cases dropped. The last time, an answer and cross-complaint were filed and the case really came to trial, but was dismissed yes terday morning by Circuit Judge Davis, who held there were not grounds enough to grant either a decree. The Irvlnes have been married Sfi years and have eight children, four of whom are minors. Testimony concerning previous at tempts to secure divorces was given before Judge Davis by Koscoe Nelson, attorney for Mrs. Irvine in three of the former actions.
