Plant two jseedsf ftwo beans -eye down and on edge In a three inch paper pot, and as soon as the nights are past the cool stage tear the paper away . from . the ball of earth and set them In the hill. Seeds should not be plant ed in the open until the trees are in full leaf, as no vegetable is so susceptible to cold, particularly chilly nights, as the lima bean. The start from two or three weeks ahead of the outdoor plant ing season gives a chance not only for earlier fresh limas but will give the plant a . chance to devel op a more bountiful crop. . The handiest way to handle these early-started limas Is to set the pap er pots in flats or handy boxe?, tting them j outdoors ron bright, sunshiny days and bringing them in4 when it Is cool. A dozen or so pots can be handled with little trouble In this way and a dozen h'lls of -early limas, particularly the pole variety, will mean a good sized picking. ;i - I In; laying out the location for the bush limas, iallow for plenty of space Some gardeners have difficulty with the dwarf limas and have given them up as not worth while because of thepoor yield, because they tried togrow them closely planted in rows just as they did string beans. This is all wrong andlittle can be expected of the limas in the way of yield with this close planting. They need at least eighteen inches between hills and two feet.,wlll be better. With good soil land ample cultivation they will yield a surprising number of :beas,as compared wjth the closely plant- trie yaivu? v - - z ; The ereater. space .glTes mem not only , sufficient '. food, with out too , much .! competition, hut permits the plant .to develop to Itsrfull extent . and provide great. number of bearing brancnes.

Th knnoiiranees are now that the season will be a little earlier this year It will depend on the weather from now on. V ith warm days it is likely that the gooser berry harvest will be in full blast In a little over two weeks. jv The indicators are that! there wiir be a full crop. There is also n increased acreage. Tne ,sa lem canneries packed 7000 cases of gooseberries . last t year. They will likelv pack a; larger number of cases this year. One 3 leading ranner said vesterday that he aio not expect the pack to be double that of last year, but he did say he expected a material Increase Gencv-allv Good Crops I - There was some frost Tuesday niaht. But a good judge told the reporter yesterday that he did not think there would be any appreci able damage to the fruit in this district. The strawberries were in the most, danger, he said; i Ite added that in his opinion the prunes are too far along for any frost damage and that there will be a cood prune crop all over this district, unless there Is too great a-drop. - That is so far only a WILLBETHE FIRST matter of specuutloa. 4 f SALiM DISTRICT crude drug The farmers of the Salem district are leading in the production of peppermint of first quality Peppermint with the' highest menthol j con tent ! ::l And of the best flavor- v And Marion county is now the leading comi ty of Oregon in the peppermint industry, i .

This will take organization; concerted ef-: fort; expert supervision; but there is a big profit' in the industry. . ; .

Latt sown-corn is best, of course, but then the first crop seems sweet est. '" ; .- Golden Bantam, favorite as.it Is among home gardeners. Is not the earliest. J Cory and Malakoff are even earlier. In, the West Early Iowa Is esteemed and tn the East Early Mayflower Is a favorite. All; these grow rapidly and mature before the stalks are very high. These dwarf early varieties are Ideal for the home garden - and take much less space than' the later and more robust, sorts. The early varieties should be sdwn'i.n rows Instead ot hilts, which"' 'is advisable fori the later kinds. Plant in the richest soil in. the earden two inches deep and ; thin tn four inches apart in the rows. The rows should be two eei apart. As the young plants grow along they should be thinned to a foot apart for their best develop ment when they have reached a height of six inches. The rows may be hilled up slightly to give the auxiliary roots , quick lodg ment in the soil, as they are the anchorage for the , stalk as " grows heavy.? j Of all vegetables corn demands constant cultivation more insis tently for its best development, it should be planted in squares in stead of long rows in order to Insure more complete pollination and well-filled ears. As corn is fertilized by the wind, there la great loss of pollen in the ions single rows! and consequently very many more ears which are only partly Itilled out. Planted in squares, ears only half filled out the length of the cob or witn bare spots upon them are rare.'. : rvt,.n la nn. vegetable that must Wl - w - - c be home grown to be appreciated at its best.; It nust oe picked if It is to retain its sweet ness and flavor.
