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

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

to bo In the most forcible manner.

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.

Timely Hints for the Home Garden
How to Grow Peas, Beans and Beefs.
WASHINGTON, March 20. 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.
