It Is Time to Begin to Think About the Early Spring
Planting, and the Garden Plot Ought to Be Made a
Permament Adjunct to the Kitchen, for Economy, for
the Pleasures of the Table, and for the. Health of
the Family- .
A competent Salem authority
advisee that it la, time to begin to
think of the early .spring garden.
The signs of the vernal season are
already appearing, though they
have been somewhat retarded by
the three periods of weather be
low the freezing point in the past
several weeks. So it is time now to
thumb over the current seed cata
logues and choose varieties. Won
derful is the scheme, of illustra
tions displayed therein, bnt do not
, expect to produce always the veg
etables in the pictures. There are
several standard varieties which
are best for planting, and espe
cially for the -home .garden. In
most cases, that .variety planted
by the commercial gorwer is best
for the amateur gardener. They
are better adapted to our condi
tions of soil and climate or they
would not be planted comlerclally.
If a fairly large quantity of
seed is to be planted it is best to
buy It, in bulk. Sometimes the
package seeds are not as fresh as
they might be. Plant enough seed.
It la better to thin out than to be
disappointed.
The best lettuce for the home
garden and in fact, for plant
ing. In all seasons, is the Mew
York or Wonderful, and known In
that section as the "Los Angeles
Market" lettuce. This has been
the leading variety for several
years, and has no equal for com
mercial of home gardens.
Of the carrots, the Chatenay is
the most popular with the market
gardener. It is one of the desir
able varieties for the borne gar'
den also. The Oiheart comes next
In this district as a popular fav
orite. .
V- The Hollow Crown parsnip is
the variety preferred here. It Is
sometimes called the Long Sugar
parsnip. There are many other
varieties, and most of them, have
been tried here; but most growers
come back to the Hollow Crown,
though, some of the others have

perhaps the most desirable for the
home i plot. The Detroit , Dark

... C. I. . Lewis, assistant general
manager (of the Oregon Growers
Cooperative association, appeared
before the senate committee on
agriculture January 28 and testi
fied regarding the high freight
rates which are causing the great
differences between the produc
ers price and the retailers' price
of fruit. Freight has been so
high In certain fruit districts that
It has taken from 93 to 138 per
cent of the net return to the
growers. Mr. Lewis is asking
for more credit as well as for
reduced freight rates for the far

mittees on finance and transpor

After planting many varieties
of radishes, most Salem district
gardeners have decided that the
best one to grow was the White
Icicle. They do not gfat pithy if
not taken out as soon as they ma
ture, and that is a quality that
makes them the most desirable for
the garden. The White Icicle is a
long white radish of exceptional
flavor, with litUe "bite." Two
other varities of radish that are
popular for fancy relishes are the
Scarlet Turnip and the Scarlet
Turnip White Tip, which are not
as long as the name. They are
planted by the commercial grow
ers, and hardly any other variety
is found upon the market.
The turnips preferred here are
the Little White Flat Dutch and
the White Egg turnips, for early
planting. The main crop is the
Purple Top,, flat or globe.
' No home garden should be
without "greens" of some sort.
The tops of the Purple Top White
Globe turnip are sometimes used
for greens and are very good.
Spinach is best, for it has health
giving properties found in no oth
er vegetable. The Salem district
growers generally plant the Sa
voy for the early garden, the Long
Standing for the second crop, and
the Prickly Winter for the fall
crop. Spinach needs good clean
culture and lots of it, to make
large, succulent, edible leaves.
White Globe is preferred here
for green onions from the seed.
For sets, the extra early brown or
ytallow sets are used.
Cabbage can still be planted,
though It will not come along as
fast as If it was planted a few
months earlier. Plants can' be ob
tained at any seed house. Choose
the Charleston Wakefield for
early cabbage.
As soon as the mature vege
tables have been pulled and con
sumed, plant mere seed. Spade up
the ground and fill in the empty
spaces. To insure fresh vegetables
at all times a few deeds of each
should be .planted . eyery two , or
three weeks. Make the garden
plot a permanent adjunct to the
.kitchen.
test while pullets and yearlings
As pullets the general-purpos-3
fowls produced 130.5 eggs a year.
and 88.1 as yearlings. The Leg
horns produced an average of
138.7 eggs as pullets and 124.9 as
yearlings.
The general-purpose pullets ate
iu a year an average of 6.7 pounds
of-feed per dozen eggs produced
and the yearlings ate 9.ti pounds.
Thj Leghorn pulleu ate . 4.8
pounds, and the yearlings 5.5
pounds. The general-purpose pul
lets ate 1.9 pounds more feed in
producing a dozen eggs than the
Leghorn pullets, and the differ
ence increases very rapidly with
the age of the stock, the general
purpose yearling consuming 4.1
pounds more feed per dozen eggs
than the Leghorn yearlings; there
fore, the Leghorn yearling pro'
duced eggs upon much less feed
than the general-purpose breeds.
The authority quoted above
concludes as follows: "The value
of the general-purpose breeds for
market, or for hatching and
breeding, makes them usually the
most desirable breeds for the gen
eral larmer and the backyard
raiser, whita the Leghorns are
especially adapted for the com
mercial egg farms."

Irreconcilables, Peace. Party
and Moderates Are
Three Factions
ROM7, Feb l.: (By the Associat
ed Press.) Cardinals comprising
the sacred college are entering
into seclusion this evening for
the conclave to elect a successor
to Benedict XV, the sessions of
which begin tomorrow. It is the
concensus of opinion in Vatican
circles that the conclave will b
of short duration and that the
next pope will be chosen from
among the moderates.
By those in close touch with
the preliminary proceeding, it is
decided that neither the so-called
' irreconcilables" nor those Con
stituting the "peace party" will
have a chance to elect their can
didate without assistance ot the
moderates. The five French car
dinal arc said to favor the con
tinuance of the policy of the late
pope and will vote for a cardinal
of the moderate group.
The other foreign cardinals ars
generally understood not to de
sire to join with either side
among the Italians and will vote
for a moderate.'
Food has been stored within
tha Vatican sufficient to last 350
persons seven days.
Besides one secretary and one
servant each for the 52 cardinals
there will be within the Vatican,
after the doors are bolted, a gen
eral secretary of the onclave,
Monsignor Sincero, one sacristan
and assistant, 11 cooks, who will
be sisters of charity, three doc
tors, five pharmacists, seven mas
ters of ceremony, two vote tak
ers, nine janitors, one architect,
three firemen, two night watch
men, one carpenter, one bricklay
er, a plasterer, a blacksmith, an
electrician, two plumbers, three
barbers and nine waiters.
