I COMMUNICATION. To tho IMItor: There are, I itm Informed four recruiting organi zations now In Medford remitting for tin; army and navy, all of whlelt should receive tho full support of every patriotic citizen, lull as an ox soldier who hns seen service la the field. I lake the lllierly of advising those who contemplate rei-rulllng ns to whero their first dutv lien. Tho Heventli Company, Const Ar tillery, l a strictly home organiza tion, and should by all mean he re cruited to Its full strength by those ollglblo for nervier before any other organization In given consideration. This organization represents Medford and thero should lie u local pride In tho organization. In seeing that It Is recruited to tho full Htrcuuth. ; The young man w ho nirepts sen Ice In the army will find a derided advantage In nn organization of his fellow townsmon and under officers who have hoen hla friends mid com panions. When I transferred from a volun teer Infantry organization to Muff organization tlils"as brought home to bo In the most forcible manner. .My advice to tho )o"B "!! COST OF LIVING Hy W. W. WATSON. Since common vegetables have come to vie with the luxuries of the table in price, thus increasing the real value of every foot of ground suscep tible of profitable! cultivation, the plan to utilize the vacant Ints und blocks within Ihe boundaries of Med ford has become popular. Many pen pic have already interested themselves 111 timely and commendable economy. Their combined garden und grain plots would maku an extensive acreage already plowed anil Home of it planted. Those who have vacant lots yet subject to "call" for garden work in Ibis city this year should cull up or call on the city recorder, giving him their lot numbers und other informa tion about them, lie will see that Ihey are properly "reclaimed" by pro ductive garden work this season. Thoso who Want city lots for cul tivation should likewise see tho city recorder or get word lo him lo that effect. He will supply the lots. The city council has agreed lo co-opcrutc with this plan in every possible way to lend encourageineui and profit lo tho scheme Good Proposition llotli Ways. In addition to giving profitable em ployment to many hoya and girls of the city and to elderly men, as well, who would enjoy such opportunity to employ themselves coniuieudably and usefully during tho gardening season, this plan will lend a pleasingly pic turesque appearance to the oily. It will serve to destroy the unsightly places now claimed hy weeds nnd other useless growths and render them productive of valuable crops for those who might not otherwise be able to buy such productions in renilv abundance. It will displace the lares wilh somclhing worth money with common necessities. t will also con vert, idleness to productive labor anil yield instruction to tho.se whose ex perience ill gardening is limit cel. A mining man in this city this morning said: "I see that your idle lots and blocks throughout Ihe city are being plowed up ami put to good use. That is an excellent thing to do, for many reasons. It is conserv ing the waste and making it prn- diielive. It. will savo many house holds much expense for fresh vegc lables and give lo others an abun dance they could nut otherwise en joy. The Mining ('map .Mel hod. "It reminds mo of two or three big mining camps in my experience,"1 con- nnued the gold-hunter. "( hiuuiucu in a southern California camp leased every available lown lot for thai purpose some years ago. They put this nercago in an excellent state of cultivation; cleaned it. up; made it pleasing- lo look at ; disposed of rub bish nnd debris that menaced Ihe health of Ihe town in hot weather; gave the town Ihe appearance of a gaiden und made big money on Ihe iuvestmenl. This was conliuucd for years. It. paid the Chinamen better than some of the mines they tried to operate. It gave fresh, wholcsiimc vegetables to the townspeople nnd was productive of good in every way. liesiiles, it lidded to the value of adjoining properly. Il is a line thing.'' In the same measure ami for Ihe sunn reasons it can be made a "fii--thing" fur Mcdloi'il and those who have time to cultivate Ihese neglect ed garden spots. It js Ihe first step toward landscape gardening and Meill'oril, henutiful in niaiiv wavs, cer- lainlv needs a touch of the latter. Those who have vacant lots m who want them lo use ns gardens should see Cily llcenrdcr Fuss about this plan.

Gar den pi'iis aro a favttrile crop in the lionui garden, nnd ns tliey arc not ousily injuivd hy liht frosts, thoy may bo planted ns soon as the soil Olio bo put in order in the sprinir, ne uordiiitf to tbu specialists of Ihe Unit ed Stales department ol' agriculture. By Helectin a number of varieties il is possible lo have a continuous sup ply of pens throughout a lnnre jior tiun of the growing season. Jn order to iii'foiuplih this, pl;utliui;s should be made every 10 days or two weeks! until warm weather conies. The first plantings should be of small-frrowiuir, (jiiiik-iua luring varieties, such ns Alask.'i, First and ISest, nnd (Iradus. Thesu kinds do not require supports.1 Xbey sliould he followed by the larj;e wrinkled type of peas, such as Cham-' pion of Ku'.hiud, Telephone, and Prize 'faker. These may be supported on bruiah, on slriuirs attaejietl lo stakes firtven in the ground, or on wire net ting l'eas should be planted about two to three im hes deep in rows three to four inches apart. Some gardeners, however, follow (lie practice of plant in in double rows six im-hes apart, with Ihe ordinary space of three to four feel between lbee pairs of rows. Willi varieties reipiiriu support this is a ood practice, as the supports can be placed in Ihe narrow space be tween the rows. Ileans are more susceptible lo col,! limn pens und should not he planted until danger of frost is past and the ground begins to warm up. They are, however, amoni; the most desira ble vegetables that the home garden er can raise. There are many dif ferent kinds and varieties of beans, but for garden purport's they may he divided into two elasscs si rim,' and lama. Molh classes are crown com mercially over the greater part of the cut and adapt themselves to a wide diversity of soils an.) elimnlc. They prow rapidly and, therefore, leave the area in which they hae been planted free for another crop. To secure a continuous supply, it is desirable to make planting at inter vals of 10 davs or two week-, from the time that the yroiiud is reason ably warm unlit Ihe hot feather sets in. Itoth string and Lima beans are -ubdivided into polcund hnh Ivpes. 'fhe pole l.inni beau should lie plant ed with from ei:!it to ten sieiN in the lull and alter (he plants h. come cMahh-dicd, should be thinned to three or four. The hills sbo-dd be four or live feet apart, Hnh l.in ; beans arc planted five or six inches apart in rows 30 to 'M inches apart. Bush beans of the string tye may ho planted somewhat closer the plants standing three or four inches apart in rows from 20 to 24 inches apart if hand cultivation only is to he employed. Itenns of any kind should not be planted any deeper than is necessary to secure pod germination. This should never be over two inches and on heavy soil it should not bo more than one nnd ono-qutirter to one und one-half inches. Heels can he planted comparatively early in the season. It is not neces sary to wait until the ground has he come warm, if the danger of frost u past. Tho seed should bo sown in drills 11 to IS inches apart and cov ered to a depth of about one inch. As soon as the plants are well up they should bo thinned lo stand three to four inches apart. From two lo three plantings should be made in order to have a continuous supply of young, tender beets.
