The Greeks served ;tt on gp ld plates In ' sacrifices to 'Apollo. - Pliny; tells of radishes In Rome tbatt weighed 4 0. poahds. It was introduced in England In 1500. Queen Elizabeth had the choice of four varieties each of which no doubt some one considered to ba the best. The farieUesfwe now enjoy are the lineal descen dants of thpsef historic sorts, ' and each has points of peculiar merit, atherwiae it would be quickly abandoned. " Modern " Improvement in the radish, has been along the line of shortening the season to' a matur ity, and quick growth baa been accompanied by a shortening of the root, producing the olive and Scarlet EAftLY UOHG SCAS.LTC Standard T ies- and globe-shaped types. Ancient rad ishes were larger, longer, strong er and slower of growth. The fastest ; growing variety now ' known Is an olive-shaped 'white, ' called earliest wh4e olive, : which matures In 15 to 18 days after mowing. A red olive variety, gen erally known as the 20-tday rad ish, is next, maturing lnl 20 days. These . very rapid, growihg varie k ties have the defect of most fast growing vegetables. In that they reqviTe toB be harvested imme diately upon maturing. In va day oif two more and they turn pithy and are useless. ' To get them up properly . they must nave Jdeal conditions, which, for radishes In clude a rich, loose soil, plenty of water and cool; weather. ; GOOD FORM WITH T1IK SPA 1)12 Many people are deterred from gardening through the advice handed down . from past gener ations of fonerfgn gardeners who make the hardest possible - wbrfc of it.

Few of the vegetables need more than a foot depth of root room and the i ordinary : spading gives around eight inches. ' .

It supplies in cheap ind most palatable lform the f vita- mines- A, B and C, which -have been discovered "to. play sot lrge a part in health maintenance! Next to Swiss chara, lettuce is the most profitable vegetab e for the home gardener. It wlli be found even more useful tban chard, for it wll be welcomed on the table every day; which can hardly be said of chard.

' ' It provides a green pasture under cover. It gives an insurance policy against loss. It saves crops that would otherwise be lost in most seasons. 1 It is even better in some respects than natural pasture because it allows of the making up and : feeding of a balanced ration. ; f There can be no better slogan for the Salem district than the one for a silo, on every farmf and there should be more than one silo on all the larger farms. . , j '- l- Stability; certainty ; 1 absolute safety ; these are the goals of civilized man of progressive civilization- . . - i 1 , 1 ' : And the silo is a great aid in the reaching of these goals. NEW TYPES OF POPPIES Remarkable strides have been made in the last few seasons in developing that very handsome and : easily grown . annual, '. the poppy, both in the " Shirley ; and opium types. As poppy' seed, may be sown even on the snow in mid winter with excellent rospects of a tine, early crop ot blooms there need be no delay in getting the poppy bed started. f U . In the favorite 1 Shirley type, there are new selections of deli cate shades in salmon and pink which will prove revelations. A meW wild rose pink type will add to the glory of the poppy bed this year.' ! If comes 4nto -bloom very early from fall : or winter-sown seeds ; and a bed : will - be ablaze In June from seed scattered now. As this type of poppy does not bear transplanting, the seed should b. sown where th plants are1 to be grown. The seed should be mixed with twice pr more of its bulk of fine sand to scatter It. After germination thei 'plants started Indoors. The .plants may be set outdoors as soon as the garden - soil can be prepared. Keep a reserve In case the first planning should be killed- by a hard j freeze, n very; rich soil, with such an ;.early start, bead lettucle of these varieties should be ready-In 70 days from date of sowing. ,'" , ; " " When, the head lettuce is set bu)t ' sow seed of a leaf variety. This; may ' be sown thickly ; and thinned out to one plant every two Inches. Alternate plants ' may .-hen be harvested half-grawn, un til a spacing of six nches; has been reached. All lettuce varieties- need at least six inches in the tow to reach full growth, and some need more. 1 Seed of a crisp heading type, such ' as New "York, th largest of lettuce -varieties; or 4 Migno-' nefte, one of the smallest, and surest to head, may be sown at the same time as the leaf varie ties ; and the seddlingg, transplant ed when they make truj leaves. New . York must have at feast a foot between plants in the row. It will mature slowly, stand; hot weather well arid furnish the last crop of the first season. ' " Cos lettuce, or romaine, which many esteem as the finest7 of let tuces, may ; be : started indoors-r outdoors . to fit" Into" the succes sion - where one pleases. It "ma tures in about '80 days. For the fall season, omit the crisp heads and start the desired varieties in a shaded seed bed in July to be t r a n splanted , whien 'the cooli weather comes in. late August, . ' If yon set out your melons and cucumbers a little early . have a pile of hay or straw handy. This can be tossed over them handily with a fork If the evening sevme chilly.

The size of the blossoms will be greatly , increased, and each bush will produce a much greater crop of flowers if givtn room to . de velop.! The fading flowers should be picked and no seed pods al lowed to form, as the develop ment of seed pods means the end of broom., ;"' .;' : Considerable attention has been given to -; the j heavier growing, more robust and gorgeous opium poppy. Here ; they rival the . pe ony Itt their huge and richly cot ored ri blossoms, some - delicately fringed and tipped with brilliant colors on a white 'ground. - The Ryburgh hybrids,; one of the latest' developments,, are distinct from the older carnation' and pe ony 'types in having flat petals suggestive of the tuberous be gonia.' They! are more 1 easily transplanted ( than the Shirley and if cut when 'the bud first splits will expand i in water .and make .handsome bouquets. 'The range "iofi colors is" entirely new and distinct for this class-,of pop py, embracing! pinks, salmons and orange shades.
