This (would bar cabbages, cauliflowers, , or" Brussels sprouts as an advisable follow crop for radishes but they might rery read ily be planted In vacated lettuce or spinach beds The main point Is to nave a suc cession crop planned and ready to sow when the earliest crops have been harvested so that the soil may be kept at work producing during the entire gardening sea son. ) A good gardener has no va cant soil longer than the period necessary for seed to germinate. It is an excellent v idea to sit down now, and figure ' just what you Intend to put in to follow the radishes, lettuce, spinach and young onions if. you have not al ready planned for this contingen- ; ' ' -vu:1 . With the plantings definitely lo cated,' it is a great saver of time for all there is to do is to march out to the garden with the. iseed packet and sow the seeds without wasting any time in deciding just where It is to go. . Try a New Vegetable Trying new vegetables Is always Interesting besides furnishing a variant from1 the staples for the table. There are a number of veg etable which, although In' culti vation for some years, are seldom seen in gardens and seem to make their way much more slowly than their worth justifies. Tho Chinese cabbage or; re Tsal Is now well known in fancy groc eries during the fall and winter months under the name of celery cabbage. It is a tall, thick vege table resembling a gigantic celery stalk wlh a delicate cabbage fla vor. It Is in reality a mustard and not a cabbage and has some thing of the tang of mustard greens. It Is at its best eaten raw as a salad and is excellent boiled like common cabbage, having a more delicate flavor. It is best raised as a fall crop. treated like late cabbage from seed planted In June. Another luxury which can; be grown very easily is French en dive or witloof, always expensive In the ' market - and furnishing green salad during the winter from a warm basement or cellar. It is sown in the spring and makes roots like a large radish, or pars nip. These are stored In earth in the cellar and the blanched tops cut off and eaten as they grow. Growth Is prompted by moistening the soil in the boxes in which they are stored in the fall. The okra or gumbo, a standard soup material in - the south, the green half-grown pods being used as flavoring, is an easily grown warm weather, vegetable for nor them gardens.

The English and Italians are very fond of these vegetables which have inade their way slowly here. They are easy to cook, treated as eggplant and fried in batter. Boiling is a more delicate task as. if overcooked, the flesh is dispersed In the water and ldst. They have a delicate marrow flavor and will be much esteemed when (better known. 1 Two Over Winter Crops GIVE US A Ut of Your Ijumbcr ' - ICequiremcnts. - Build Now.

IV Kclsay, fgr, , . ; 'if Wm fleeli's Slogan SUBJECT IS f!llGJTIK!aOTIIEIlTIBS Salsify or oyster plant and par snips are crops that require an en tire season of growth and are at their best the following spring after planting, the winter freez ing bringing out their best flavor. They are the first crop available from the garden and may be used as soon as they can be taken out of the ground: during a spring thaw. As soon as growth starts in the spring their usefulness is over. It is best to dig and store them to avoid too early a start of growth and lenghen the season.' ! , Both vegetables, ;, oysters' and parsnips, maybe planted up to the middle of May. The main factor in their cultivation, and the one most neglected, is thinning.? Oys ter plant should be left six inches apart and parsnips eight. Other wise the plant, will be so crowded In the rows the roots will not have any chance to develop. It Is often the custom to plant these two vegetables in some out-or-the-way part of the garden" and forget about them and let them struggle with weeds if there Isn't time to get over the entire garden with the hoe. Even with this treat ment they Invariably produce fair roots if given a chance In the way of thinning. But good cultivation and weeding brings the: reward in fine roots. , : - ' ; Really pood parsnips are seldom seen in the hbm garden because of neglect, particularly In the way of thinning. The usual run is a lot of small, slender roots not more than two inches thic!: at the SALSIFY Oft VEGETABLE OYSTER, CULTIVATE SAKE A PAWNiPS.

' "( The vegetable oyster forms a small root seldom more than an inch or an Inch and a half thick, even with good cultivation, and thinning. of this vegetable is even more necessary than in tho par snip as It is a tedious task to pre pare the slender roots for the ta ble, as they are usually grown in the home garden. The mammoth Sandwich Island and the Scorzon ora or black salsify are Imported sorts that give larger roots than the older varieties. Many garden ers prefer the black variety be cause of its more robust growth. 300,000 EXPERIMENTS BY-LUTHER BURBANK (Continued from page S leaves where the thistles used to be." 200,000 Experiments lie spoke of artichokes that bear the season through Instead of a few weeks In spring, of goose berries, , larger and whiter than any grown, with the sweetness and flavor of honey. And never, was there the suggestion of egotism in all hia talk. Indeed, one is In clined at first to wonder if he is not shy but as you chat, you catch glimpses Into his soul. Mrt Bur- bank is a modest, quiet man, rev erent and democratic. He is an idealist who holds his own Integ rity above all else. In the pursuit of truth, fired by his mighty -gen-ins her will resist all troubles, over-r come all obstacles, but he will never be assertive In an unpleas ant way. Only the best that he can do , will pass muster in his eyes and he is unfalteringly loyal to the demands of his ideals. ! "How many ; experiments ire you working n just now?". I nsk ed. . . . ; " "Three hundred thousand," he said quietly. . "There are so many things I still want to do and Iim past 73 years of age. I must keep at It all the time." "Three hundred thousand !" I exclaimed. "I don't see how you can begin to look after them." , ; "It takes time," he admitted. "I am in the field,, here or at one of my three test places, by 7 in the morning and I work from 10 to 12 hours. ; I have no union labor myself. ; . ' "The other day I carried a pe dometer and found, to, my su -prise, that going to and fro among the beds I walked an aver of 24 miles daily."; y Thinking of his many i written works I Interposed "But how do you find time to write?" . "At night' he smiled. ,"I take a paper and pencil to bed. If I happen to think of the right thing I jot it down while resting before sleep."; ' ' .;;' ' ; ' lie seemed almost embarrassed as he added . "The, work one can do that ill leave something of value, to his brothers of earth Is about all that lire has, isn't it?" , Theremin a flash he had reveal ed himself. He serves unselfishly with" humbleness of heart and sin gleness of purpose. He Is one pf the givers' among men. "But at least,"" I said as though summing up my reflections, "you have escaped hte persecution that generally comes to a genius. YOU have not had to suffer, from preju dice and Ignorance and disbelief." . "I have been literally cruci fied," he said with, a shadow in his eyes. "There was a time when I was' labeled a fraud by public Rtatement." and then before a smile the shadow vanished, "but that , is all past now. The bitter and the sweet come all mixed up, the swfeet more precious for the other. "It Is God's way the same way that we make a plant; hardy by exposing it to wind and storm and sun." . ? . , reat But Humble. t The door bell rang and a man appeared with thousands of pack ages of seed. Mr. Burbank told him to take them around to the office, then turned to us with a happy, twinkle in his eyes. "As you know," he said, "I no longer main. tain my nursery business. I have hit upon, another? scheme and a better one for disposing of my plants. . , . ;' fl do a mall order business with seeds." ho laughed, delightedly, "Every, year, between the first of January and the last of April I have from ten to' twenty thousand letters da,Iv' People from all oyer the world send for my seed. 'I like to think of my plants growing inUhc private gardens be hind the homes of the people." . "But you should advertise this fact," I decared. "Thousands of people do not know that ten cents mailed to you will bring them; improved seed." ', I cannot wish for moro busi ness." he replied. " All who send. receive, -and my time Is filled to tho last minute." I suspected him of hiding some- kindly face that suggested a bit of the truth not told. What was it, I wondered, and then "I'd rather have my products grown in the family gardens, than in professional ones," be finished almost defiantly and I understood. He is a lover of his fellows, a wizard who likes to think that he can make fairy tales come true in the gardens . behind people's homes. ' - C . He Is acknowledged as one of the greatest scientists in the field of botany. He is acclaimed the world over as a magician of grow ing things. He is a great hearted lover of men, sought after, ad mired, respected, but he is a hum ble gardener as well. The simple hospitality of the genuine farmer is his. He dislikes pomp and show. He prefers quiet neighbor liness and the humble way of "Just folks" in life." I have heard kings and states men spoken of;as "the grand old man," but never have I seen any one so . deserving of that potent phrase as the wizard of Santa Rosa at the gate of bis magic garden. HORSE SENSE IS A NEED III PO W Pure Air and Water, Sun shine, Wholesome Feed- the Best Medicines m.o- 'O (Henry W. Kruckeberg, who is high authority in the poultry world, writing In the Los Angeles Times of last Sunday, says:) As a general proposition, stimu lating foods, tonics, condiments, condition powders and egg foods are all feeding stufs which as such may well be placed on the debat able list and which, as medicines. should be used with . discretion andjudgment. We appreciate that under certain . conditions, they "have a place in poultry cul ture. When the birds are 4run down" a tonic is often desirable; on the other hand, it is certainly Junwise to Teed -stimulating foods to fowls that are in good condi tion. When colds are in evidence or the moulting period is on, the addition of a good condition pow der in. the mash often has a bene ficial effect. There are reliable" preparatory remedies on the mar ket answering to most every pur pose; likewise, there are nostrums and "cure alls" advertised that are anything but efficacious be cause claiming the impossible. Not long since, the Vigilance Commit tee of National Advertisers Issued a note of warning on a preparation recommended to be taken inter nally to prevent chickens from be coming affected with various forms of parasites, and in .the ad vertising for which the opinions of government scientists were mentioned, and the statement made that Important scientific tests had been made. The Dallas, Texas. Division of the Bureau of Entomology, under recent . date, advises us that they .together with the Insecticide and fungicide board have carried out a number of tests with the use of the various inter nal remedies against lice and oth er external parasites of chickens. and that all of the products tested have proved useless. The matter Is still under investigation and the investigators have not yet issued a final report. They feel, how ever, that the tests have been car ried far enough to indicate that the sulphur compounds,, and in fact all other remedies applied ei ther, to food or drinking water, have no practical value In the con trol of external jarasites. Horse Sense Needed . Experienced breeders are not 'caught" by the luring announce ments of such remedies, nevcrthe- THE JERSEY CATTLE CLUB CHAUTAUQUA A Hundred Jersey Club Mem bers to Uompete at State Fair Grounds May 29 A dispatch from the Oregon Ag ricultural college makes the an nouncement that Jersey calf clubs of Marion county will send Judg ing teams to the Jersey Judging contest to be held : in connection with, the first annual Oregon Jer- lic press Is more or less a menace to the novice and .beginner in poul try culture.
