In 1923 I was sent as a delegate of my club to the Boys' and Girls' Club sum mer, school at the Oregon Agricul tural college in Corvallis. Oregon, Oat instructor In gardening. Prof. Bouquet gave those students who wanted them copies of the Market Growers Journal. I took one and brought it hom,e to my father who runs a market garden ont a. small scale. X He subscribed for it and through It I became -much inter ested because of the exhibits I saw tod decided to lake up the work myself this year. - : planted lettuce, peppers toma toes, .-, cucumbers, watermelons. muskmelons, lima beans, cabbage. egralant and onions. The total area of my garden is about, oric slxth of an acre, and of this about one-twentieth ' ot - ao acre was planted to lettuce which was bit largest crop. t yJ ;'V" : 1 Although I could have ploughed ray own garden because of getting ray club literature late the land wished, to use .was; already pre pared.

In the open ground from March 25 to 30th. One flat set one row, 120-feet long In' which,,, the plants were about a foot apart. I set but five rows, two feet apart and in the first and fourth rows I left every seventh plant out and later plant ed muskmelons and, watermelons In these places. (See chart page.) The spring was the driest It has been for about SO years, but be cause I had water and because of my early crops it was not very dif ficult to keep my crop growing well. : ' : j V For more exact data my sum mary of receipts and expenses gives you everything. In general for fertilizer ; after one two horse loads of manure , which was put on before the land was plowed. I put on two lots of nitrate of soda, one of 20 and the other of 25. The first was put on as the heads began to form and the second five days later, i ; I spent 11V hours in cultivat ing, irrigating, hoeing and cover ing up ditches. Four hours were spent in harvesting. I started to cut my lettuce on May 2 and continued until June 4th. During this time I sold 23 V4 dozen lettuce heads to the local merchants. Of this all but one- third of a dozen heads, which sold at a dollar a dozen, sold at 90 cents per dozen. The local merchants were very anxious to get lettuce as - that shipped from California had been fumigated because of the foot and mouth disease and people would not buy it. We live about a mile from a city of fOOO and as there are only two other gardeners with which to compete and as neither one of these had lettuce at this time. Dad and I had the markets to ourselves because our cropwas early- J ;. . ' I usually cut my . lettuce early In the a morning. I would ' trim, wash and crate It and, my father would take care of the selling and delivering it. i For marketing Dad charged eight per cent commission Dad and I are members of the local Fruit and Produce Associa tion through, which I sold 20 dozen heads i at prices ranging from 90 to 75 cents per dozen heads, I took in a total of $28 on this plot and' at -the present time have-harvested about half of good crop of melons which we are using at home. I planted a small amount of lettuce in the open ground on Feb ruary first. Eight weeks later I transplanted these in blank rows left in my father's beets, turnips and onions. ! The rows are five feet apart and there were four rows between lettuce rows. There were three rows 180 feet long and a part of another row.

Six, doseu, went to the merchants at 90 cents per (doz en and 13 and one-half dozen to the. Fruit and Produce association at 75 cents per -dozen, making a total of $15.50, and for the two plots $54.20. - j I lost about four dozen heads from this patch and; two dozen from ta other because of 'tip burn which developed into slime. I have taken $20 from my cu cumbers and $22. from my toma toes, : These two crops make the third crop from this land. This report including the plans and summary of receipts and ex penses which are given later is an example of ; the way grew my smaller crops,. My. aim . was to get two or three crops off of each piece of ground, and also to. get big yields. I was successful with all my crops except one. This one was egg plant. Although I got some fruit it was not enough to meet ex pense, the greatest of which was the plants. Some , of my plants were eaten by rats when In the hot bed and the remainder were severely stunted by the : potato flea beetle. At tbe tlm of Infec tion I could find no material as to what they were because our literature said nothing of their re lation to egg plant. j I was unfortunate iwith my musk , melons as . they j got wilt for t which there Is no cure. I eventually lost all my plants but not until I had harvested a good crop. My attempts toi check ; its spread were In vain.. Mosaic started in my cucumbers about mid-season until now about hall the patch Is lost, but as I raised these entirely as an earl) crop I did not care. Uwill burn the vines and the other gardener who lives next door will do the same, so that the Club literature which I read on this subject may mean a good many dollars to our neighborhood, especially as mosaic has been an annual disease for some time. -- - i I mentioned in' my report the unavoidable tip burn of lettuce, and I also had many burned pep pers. Despite all thia. my great trouble was lack of water. We were . allowed , water only four hours a week after the middle of July and nope in September when it was needed to help make good vegetables to exhibit at the state fair. - -: . All my products were marketed by my father much as my lettuce was. , 1 received first on my ex hibit at the county fair. . I also 1 furnished watermelon, a muskme lon, two egg fruit, a one layer box of tomatoes, some cucumbers. two plates, of red peppers and some lima beans, Per Cent of Recpts. Profit on Profit. Inres.

"It : may be said with assurance that old age pensions have now reached the pioneering stage with the respect to legislative adoption that mothers', pensions had reach ed a dozen years ago. Now that a beginning has been made in Pennsylvania, Montana and Ne vada, we may look for state after state .to fall in line." ':" This declaration was made by Dr. John B.. Andrews, secretary of the American Association of , La bor Legislation; In an address ' to day at the . Pennsylvania State Conference of Old Age Assistance held at the capitol. ' . , Dr. Andrews said that a great impetus has been given to the movement for statewide old age pensions by the enactment, a year ago, of an. enlightened law for old age assistance in Pennsyl vania, . an industrial state of the first magnitude. ."In eleven years 1911 to 1921," he said, "forty American states and two territories enacted mothers' pension laws to keep children in the home rather than In institutions. Old age pension laws are an extension of the same principle to keep families together where there are aged dependents ?Tbe tragedy of institutional ized childhood -is no greater than the tragedy of institutionalized old age. ,' To tear an old veteran of Industry away from wife or children or chronies after a life time of honest toil and commit him to the uncertain care of strangers in a strange place is so Inhuman an aspect of our Indus trial civilization that it is certain to 'be everywhere remedied." A determining argument in be half of mothers' pension legisla tion, according to Dr. Andrews. was the practical experience which shows it is better to pay the mother for taking care of her children in her home than to spend the same amount in financ ing institutions, In even the best of which care is unsatisfactory and the. death rate Is abnormally high. i "So with old age pensions the straight old age pension, as embodied In the three pioneer state laws, in the recently extend ed law of Alaska, and in a stan dard bill to aid further state leg islation, is because of its simpli city of administration, more econ omical than any other plan," he continued. Existing private , pension sys tems,' Dr. Andrews described as an. insignificant factor in meeting the .need. "Charity care is inefficient and bad, although large sums are ex pended," he concluded. "The is sue' is home Instead of Institution al care. The purpose is to ease off the last days of our old men and women, who, have contributed all their productive lives to industry and . national well-being. In the same spirit with which we now pension, off the aged judges, gen erals and other- public servants in , city, state and nation.- Tbe economical and. humane method Is by. . means of a well organized statewide, system of old age pen sions. As a practical solution this will be most satisfactory to tbe aged dependents, more econ omical for our industries, and best ' for , the community.

Commission to Seek Data: On Electrified Railroads WASHINGTON, Not. 7. (AP) In its annual report form, to be sent aut to all railroad about De cember 1 and returned by March, 1925, the Interstate Commerce Commission will request data on the use of trucks by the companies as supplementing regular service. Some of the country's railroads, including the Pennsylvania, utilize motor trucks on short hauls. In formation regarding gasoline-propelled railroad cars and electrifi cation of parts of roads, will also be eought. . The longest stretch of electri fied road that has come to the at tention of the commission is that of the Chicago, Milwaukee and Saint Paul, 'from Harlowton, Montana; to Avery, Idaho, , a dis tance of 440 miles', across the Rocky Mountains. Over 600 miles of track of the Long Island, N. Y., Railroad are traversed by electric engines and in the downtown sec tion of New York City, thia type of locomotive is used solely. The New York, New Haven & Hartford road operates ; electric, trains be tween New York and Stamford, Conn., and the New York Central between the Grand Central Term inal in New York City and Har mon, N. ,Y. The most recently available fig ures of the commission show that the eastern part of the country has 286 electric locomotives in op eration; the south has 17 and the west has 69. Most of the big railroads of the country have por lions of i their lines electrified, now. ' ' The best thing about liberty Is the struggle for it.'. High Blood Pressure Often Brought On by an Unhealthy Liver Diseases of heart, kidneys, blood vessels due to body poisons Medical science knows that poi sonous waste in our bodies would actually cause death in a few days if not eliminated by Nature's proc esses. Because it destroys these deadly poisons, the ' liver is - our most important organ the body s wonderful purifier. The liver prevents the formation of body poisons that cause diseases of the heart, kidneys, blood ves sels and are chiefly responsible for premature old age. WThen the liver becomes weak, the poisons are suckel up by the blood and health is broken down. Physicians know that tbe liver cannot be regulated by drugs, but a safe Nature substance has been discovered which will at once in crease the vital bile supply. The discovery is purified ox gall.
