course, will be firs.t pulled and
the others will then get a chance.
The carrot is the one vegetable
where departing from the ortho
dox directions doesn't make a
great '-deal off difference. If the
carrot alone is not fancied as a
vegetable, it is Indispensable for
stews and soups and is one of the
standards of the garden. , The
early strains of Chantenay, Dan-
vers and Ox Heart are' all good,
the shorter growth being belter
for early carrots. In small gar
dens it Js a good plan to mix car-
rot and radish seedsi sowing them
together, ' the radishes eermina-
tion being well on its way before
the carrot seed sDr&uta. The rad-
ishes mature and are' pulled in
time to get out of tho'way of the
carrots, which are also thinned
in the , process. j
An All-Year Vegetable
The oyster plant, Vegetable oys
ter, or salsify is now in the mar
ket from lastyear"s gardens,! be
ing one" of the few vegetables
that remains in. the ground over
winter and is harvested as soon
as it can be dug. in the spring.
The oyster plant has a delicate
flavor 'and should be grown more
freely and -doubtless would be if
people were more familiar with
it, . i
One of its disadvantages is
that when cfeaned it gives off a
milky juice, the root turns black
and is unwholesome looking (When
cooked. This -fault is obviated
by cleaning and scraping the roots

EVERY GARDEN IN THE SALEM DISTRICT
SHOULD HAVE ASPARAGUS
There is no better asparagus country than
the Salem district J j
And every family garden should have some
asparagus. lt is an early vegetable, delicious,
health giving; may be produced in large supply
on a small plat of ground in fact, has every
quality thai should recommend it as a ftegetable
be found in every one of our gardens.
And asparagus growing should be developed
here as a commercial industry, too.
Asparagus is an easy vegetable to . grow.
Once in the ground and well started, it will last
indefinitely, producing good crops year after year.
Those who grow asparagus saji there is a
good profit in it. f :

only in a limited way pnui me

have commercialized our patch.
Thus; far we have had no trou
ble in disposing of our crop, but
have taken great care tu; the
handling of it, endeavoring to
have good quality, full weighiS
bunches, and market it while
fresh. " -
In warm weather we pick over
the patch daily, starting at 6 .
m. or jearlier. ' This is done for
several reasons: first, it enables
us. to get our asparagus on the
market for the afternoon trade;
second, by gathering it in the
morning it is much more crisp.
while in the afternoon it is usu
ally hot and wilted; third, as most
of our i work is done by school
boys it enables them to get In

A VegetaJIei Ornament
Parsley ;ls the ornament of the
vegetable i garden! Its use is as
mui-h ornamental; as for flavor in
cooking" , Salads and other dishes
garnished withi its beautiful
mossy jcurled leave are f always
attractiye' Then, too ther finely
chopped leaves are used to sprin
kle over various! dishes as a iHh
Jsh,i and "'the "chopped leaves be
come an important part of the fla
voring of soups,: stews and other
dishes. i L
Parsley is very slow to germin
ate and should be sown as early
as seeds - can be put .into the
ground, ; It may be used as an
edging to a flower bed with good
effect' and as only a few leaves'
are needed at a time, such as are
necessary for kitchen use may at
ways be seeured without destroy
ing the ornamental effect.
A few plants of parsley are suf
ficient for the garden, and they
should be given about eight to
ten . inches in which to develop
their mossy foliage. The seed
should be planted thinly, and the
place marked, so that it will not
be overrun with weeds before the
parsley puts in an appearance, as
4 often may wait a' month before
so doing: But jpnce up, it makes
.fast growth, the young plants re

DID YOU KNOW that in the Salem district the best aspara
gus grown in" the world has been, and can be grown; that it.
can be grown here on almost any kind of land that is rich
and well drained; that with these natural advantages a great
commercial industry can1 be and o'ught to be built up; that
every farmer and gardener ought to raise some asparagus;'
that, with half a chance; it will grow and produce crops for
30 years or (more, though it is good practice to renew it
every 10 to 12 'years'' that it ought to .be canned and.dehy-
drated here, and that in this district land' can be bought
cheap that will raise good aspardjus with less' preparation
and more surely thani the average land in any other state or

Turnip seeds for'a'crOp to ma
ture with peas should; be sown;as
soon as the ground can be work-'
ed. They should be thinned early
to 6 Inches apart to secure fast
growth. Sow the seed thinly and
half an inch deep, and give them
at least 18 : inches apart; in the
rows. Tomato 'plants may be set
at three foot intervals between
the-rows to take the. place ot the
turnips when they are harvested
and allowed to grow along with
out interfering with the turnips.
