pole beans is to. seje posts at each

paper pots where they can be pro
tected from Jchllly nights orvdaya
When tne.t temperature takes one
of the drops we jctioir we may
look tor ' during S early spring
weather. i ' -. , -
j. 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.
If you have- been aiscourase"
with buh limas. try them again
In the warmest spot In the gard

THE GOOSEBERRIES
The canning of gooseberries
commences in Salem generally
from the 20th to the 2.th of May.
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

THE EARLIEST SWEET COR
Take- a chance with your Mrsi
sowing of sweet corn. Sow - an j
early variety at least two weeks'
before the farmers put In field
corn in youri nelgnDornooa, ana
If weather is favorable even, more
start than this is advisable. Latt
sown-corn is best, of course, but
then the first crop seems sweet

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.'.
