They are both members of the evening primrose family and hav the satiny texture to their bloom that Is so characteristic of the many plants of this tribe. Unlike most other growing plants, they do their best on a poor soil, and If planted In rich loam, or a bed which has been recently fertilized. they become lazy and fall to give their best bloom. If you have a patch of ground which other plants find too meager, plant one or both of these brilliant annuals. The clarkias have been taken up by the greenhouse men and are now popular for winter cut flowers, but they are Just as handsome In the garden and very easily grown there. The double varieties are best for cut ting. They range In color from white through light and deep pink to orange scarlet. The godetias have large blooms of more brilliant coloring, and often have Bplashes of color on light back grounds to make them more striking in apeparance. The gladiolus-flowered forms make the best cutting material. Sow seeds thinly In the situation they are to grow; then, thin the plants to stand about eight Inches apart. The gladiolus-flowered forms, which come from England) are Improve ments on an old double form named Malmalson, a favorite for cutting be cause of Its fine spikes of double blush flowers with scarlet centers. They grow to a height of two feet and are one of the best. There are dwarf forms of both flowers that make very attractive little bushes, and the godetias come In both double and single forms. Other annual flowers which will grow well in polr soli are verbenlas, rudbecklas, portulacas and euph robins. Sow Spinach for Fast Growth Ing color rarest fragrance that la what la In nor.

At Free Methodist One of the first spring operations in the vegetable garden Is sowing the seed of Bplnach. This fast-growing. hardy edible can be put into the ground as soon as the soil drains enough so that It can be worked, and will be ready for the table with the earliest radishes and the leaf let tuce. But a "crop of spinach doesn't pay." say a few housewives. Let them grow a crop of the new spinach and find out for themselves, for the new thick-leaved varieties are so far su perior to the ordinary run of the garden types which are found on the market, that they are almost entirely new vegetables. Like many other vegetables, spin ach must be given the attenttlon which only the amateur with a small garden can give It. The old-time method of broadcasting seed as If sowing a lawn and letting the plants shift for themselves never gave the best results and Is even worse for the heavier leaved types than It was for the old-time skimpy types. For best results plant In rows, thlu to 6 Inches apart, and each spinach plant will produce a huge rosette of leaves. By this method the plant can be made to do triple duty by cutting the leaves and letting them grow mare, Instead of PlllnB UP bodily, as Is usually the custom, thus limiting each plant to a single crop. Make the soil as mellow and rich as possible for spinach. It Is a short season crop and all short season crops must mp.ke speedy growth to produce best results. Warm sandy soli which has been well supplied with plant food Is Ideal for a good stand. Cultivation speeds the growth. Spinach seed can be sown Just as soon as the soil Is in condition, re gardless of late frosts. It can even be sown In the fall and allowed to come up In the spring as soon as germinating weather arrives. Oet the heed in early, thin the plants care fully, cultivate, and rertllize with 4 pounds of plant food for every 100 square feet of area, and you will have a surprising yield of real greens. Make sure you buy one of the new types. Some have more heat resist ance than others. If you have a light warm soil or a southern elope to your garden where It gets the full force of the sun the better heat-resisting types will be best for you. WITH HIS CHILD PALO ALTO, Cal., April 4. (UP) David Lamson, victorious In a three year fight against charges of wife murder, gave his first full day of freedom today to bis 5 -year -old Genevieve Allene, whose hair and oyea are the color of the hair and eyes of her dead mother, Allene Thorpe Lamson.

Daddy returned yesterday, and there was a joyous reunion between the tall dark-haired father and the grey eyed little girl.

April 6. The storm which oocurred March 30-31 haa raised the water in all streams. This applies to all tribu taries of the Rogue river above Pros pect and both branches of Butte creek. The main Rogue river below Prospect, though high, Is believed to be flr fishing for steelheads. They, are spawning In Elk creek and con siderable number of trout have been seen on those spawning grounds. "High muddy water from the melt ing snow prevails In all streanis In the Butte Falls area. "All lakes except Squaw lake are frozen over. There are no boats avail able aa yet at Squaw lake with the exception of one at Little Squaw lake. This may be rented for 35c per hour. Fishing should be fair In both lakes. "Unless the weather warms up con siderably by the Oth, fly fishing Is not expected to yield any results.
