If .the . soil is : rich they can even be planted as close as four inches apart ' but the greater distance Is better. A row 15 feet long planted ev ery week up to the last at July or first of August will keep . an average family in beans for the greater part of the summer. 1 i Never walk through a bean patch while the dew is on it or when It has rained. Rust will follow your trail. ! The - beans should not bo cultivated exeept when the vines are- thoroughly dry. ' DISINFECTING DISEASED : ROOTS Formalin solution to purify soil of germs of various kinds of rot which affect the roots and destroy certain plants Is proTing effective, acording to recent ex periment station: reports. As it is an Inexpensive remedy It is worth trying on soil where the plants suflered; ifrom jany such pest as this last year. ; j i . The treatment consists in soak ing the ground to the depth of six or eight Inches with a 4 -per cent formalin solution, which is made by adding about six table spoonfuls of the usual 40 percent .formaldehyde " of commerce to a quart of water. . A. 1 er cent solution made;of 1 1-2 tablesDoonfuls of the cam- mercial formaldehyde to a quart otC water is also used as a spray upon growing plants as a disin fectant to destroy any germs of rotl ' ! ' Before applying the ; Cormain solution to groudn to be disin fected: it should first ; be wet down so that the solution will penetrate quickly. It takes about a gallon and a half of the solu tion to disinfect a square yard of soil. After, this solution has been applied the ground should be allowed to dry out before plants are set In it, to avoid any; danger to the roots from the gas Loosening the soil with a spadV Ing fork will .hasten the evapor ation and drying-out process, j Root crops among vegetable S and cannas, dahlias, gladioli, iris es and others with fleshy roots are sometimes f subject to rot, which is Tery destructive once it u n ntart.

DUTY 4 Only : a hardened professional or an amateua, gardener Callous ed by long years of experience will thin his plants properly with out some hesitation. The p'ull- ing up of so manyi seedlings seems wasteful, but usually from one packet of jseeds many more plants than are needed are raised. and a few properly spaced so that they mSy develop to their full capacity; In. the long run will give far better returns than three or four times their 4 number too thickly planted. x The earliest regetables should now be well out of the ground and the thinning process should ROOT CGOP NOT THINNED OUT.

There is j even danger that the average garden er will transplant his seedlings 'from boxes and seed beds tool thickly unless he watches himself carefully. The surest way is to take a foot rule or a stick cut to the. right length as to the distance apart the plants should be set and to set the plafits at each end of it, moving the stick along. In this way the planter will be held rigidly to the proper distances. The tendency usually is to "hunch" and thinks Oh, well. It won't make any difference If they are a little thicker." However, it does when the 'plants mature. The proper diftancejs. usually are given in the! directions on seed packets and it i the wisest plan to follow these strictly,' par ticularly in -the case of head let tuces and other plants making large leaf gro urth and whede leaves: furnish ';he i edibe - portien of the vegetable, i Another way of marking spaces Is by tying a piece of rope about the rim of the wheel on a wheel hoe at proper distances and then running the wheel down the row, the ; places where the plants should I be transplanted atheh' be ing marked. . - : 4 Proper spacing always provides J for troom ito cultivate properly and cultivation is one of the most important factors In a successful crop; ; I """ " "; ; ONION SETS , Young onions may be produced In the garden in two weeks by planting onion sets.

GREEN FEED AND WATER FOR rl POULTRY I' In considering so common and universal an element as water, we are quite apt to overlook its im portance. The confined hen -must be supplied with it at jftll times or she Will fail to) function properly, since fully 80-per cent; of her pro duct consists of water, while her physical bodjr is also largely com posed, of the same fluid. Now most'i people know this, and, if they Jare negligible In keeping a .bountiful supply . of water before their flocks at all times, it is due to carelessness rather than' indif ference. These faults 'call up the fact that the summer i months are coming when all nature in Oregon will call for water, and especially cultivated plants 'and ' domestic animals. It is also the season of the year when green food can be ted liberally as well as advantage ously. Green food supplies the earth salts that the ( system de mands, possesses more or less nutri tive values, and at the ssfme time assuages thirst. Therefore!, j com mence to feed liberally . ofj green stuff and always have available nlenty .of "cool, pure wateii ' The fountains or other: containers should be of sufficient size! to en able a number of fowls to drink at the same tim'ej The "drip sys tem" is ideal, but it is not every poultry plant that finds It expedi ent or Justifiable to pipe water to every individual yard or pen.

ES Feeding Next Only to Breed ing m That Celebrated Poultry District I , (The following Is from last Sun day's poultry section of the Los Angeles Times, by Henry W. Kruckeberg, editor of that depart- bent.) j Obviously1, in the creation of a high producing, flock of j fowls, breeding is the dominant factor; but,- as a close second, comes intel ligent and wholesome feeding. To be profitable the ration must not only possess nutritive values, but its cost must be in keeping with the selling prices of poultry pro ducts. A highly nutritive ration, the cost of which renders profit hazardous, is out of the question; hence poultry fqods" vary more-or less in the ingredients used, as be tween one section of the country and another, much depending on available local market supplies. In this connection, It is at times in-j teresting to study the accepted ra-1 tions prevalent in those sections where commercial poultry farming has attained a distinct commercial success. For Instance, in conver sation with some breeders from Santa Cruz, we learned that the following mash is decliedly 'popu lar In their territory: i 00 pounds bran, .100 pounds shorts, 10 pounds of ground barley, 60 pounds of meat or fish scraps, 40 pounds Soy-bean meal, 5 pounds SPRAY MATERIALS of V ALL KINDS D.

When, the egg prices are high in the low production season, about 0 or 12 pounds of this dry mash, . per; 100 hens,, is fed in a moist form every 'day to increase laying.. With this mash ration goes a combination of wheat, milo .maize, . cracked yellow corn and .vnole barley, in equal lots., A weight of this, equal .to the weight of the mash, is also fed daily. The cost of the mash part of the ra tion here is given by S. L. Gibson at approximately $2.08 per 100. Another ration, used by George Gray, is a. similar compound Of feeding stuffs, but is assembled by measure instead of weight, viz: 5 parts- bran, 3-.middlings, 2 corn meal, 3 meat scraps, 1 bone meal and 1 charcoal. About 'the same proportion of this, as in the other case. Is fed moist each morn ing.. An equal measure of grain Is fed, made upas follows: 3 parts wheat, 2 barley 3 milo maize and 2 yellow cracked - corn. V . These, rations are "supplemented with plenty of green stuff, grit and oyster shell, and an abundance of pure water. The general practice In the Santa Cruz district seems to be to feed about 120 pounds of green stuff to every 1000 hens. This,, of course, can be a variety of growths, of which alfalfa is a leader, closely followed by kale, clover, beets and the general run of garden vegetables. Since the average hen preformance in Santa Cruz county is high, it is fair to assume that these rations have been thoroughly tested out. . OREGON PULP & PAPER CO. - ! HAT.KM, OREGOy ..t '.
