I". 8. Department of Agriculture Herbaceous perennials make It possible to have a garden that re news itself trom year to year. With annual flowers the gardener mutt make a fresh start each spring. The perennials also blos som In early spring, while flowers from annuals appear In late spring and early summer. Annuals permit the gardener to plan for a wealth of bloom dur ing midsummer when only a few of the perennials are blooming. This it the season to piant toe perennial border. South ot Wash ington. D. C, the early blooming kinds uhouid have been planted In the fait or late March. North of Washington there Is still plenty of time, t Is early enough to plant late summer and fall flowering perennials even south ot Washing ton, as most of them are slow lu starting into growth in the spring, rconics Last Long Most perennials will thrive for three or four years before it be comes necessary to divide and re plant. Peonies will often do well for 10 or even 20 years, and diu tamnui or gasplant la belter if left permanently. The chrysanthemum Is the latest of the herbaceous perenni als. The small-flowered hardy types thrive south ot the District of Columbia, but north ot Wash ington it is desirable to place the plants in a cold-frame or pit tor the winter so they will be pro tected from the cold. Sometimes a mulching with coal ashes or gravel helps these plants to live over winter. Many to Choose From Goldenglow flowers much earl ier than chrysanthemum and Is in bloom the last of summer. With its vivid yellow the native Joe Pye weed makes a pleasing contrast. The asters and goldenrod make uplendid plants ot intermediate height. For mid-summer no flowers are quite as showy as rosemallows. They run mostly to scarlet, pink, white and intermediate shades. The day lilies, two to three feet high In shades of yellow and orange, are good early summer perennials. HOW TO RAISE POULTRY By Dr. L. D. LeGear, V. S., St. Louis, Mo.

I J Co-Op Assistant To be Employed More technical aBsistance for OreKon farmers in organizing and conducting cooperative marketing associations will be available be ginning Juna 1, us the appoint ment of a second extensiou spe cialist in marketing Is announced by Oregon State college, John 11. Tull, manager of a large coopera tive milk marketing association ot Memphis. Tenn., has been named to fill one ot the two new posi tions authorized by the state board ot higher educatlou tinder terms ot a recent emergency ap propriation, Mr. Tull Is personally known to the present extension specialist, George O. Gatlln, who says be Is probably the best qualified man as tn training and business experi ence 111 the entire country for the work contemplated here la Oregon. With an audible "Whewl" a perspiring old fellow deposited his week s "catch of e?gs on tne store counter. "By golly, be ex claimed, "It may be the good old summer time tor some folks, but it sure don't do the egg businees a mite ot good!" "Why. what's the trouble, Mr. Withers!" inquired the white aproned clerk. "Well," drawled the older man, "I've got just 15 dozen eggs for yon today and by rights It ought to be o. but the darned weather just ruins them." "Let your roosters run with the hens. Mr. Withers?" asked the clerk. "Sure," v,as the reply. "What e!e are you going to do with thein!" Then the young man, who hap pened to be recently graduated from the stale agricultural col lege, explained to his rather In credulous one-man audience that by allowing eggs to become fer tilized he reduced their keeping qualities to an almost unoellev abie extent. He concluded his impromptu lesson with this good advice: "If your roosters are of no special value, kill them and eat them. If you don't want to do that, pen them np until yon need eggs for hatching. A rooster does more harm than good any time outside of the breeding season if allowed to run with the hens." I think most people realize the correctness of the yonng man's statement, but his advice is not followed as generally as it should be. Hens will continue to lay eggs if there isn't a rooster In the same county. What is more, eggs produced under -such conditions will keep much longer and at con siderably higher temperatures than the fertile eggs that result trom permitting male birds to run with the flock at all times. A fertile egg will soon begin to show chick development if ex posed to a temperature of over 70 degrees. Higher . temperatures cause faster development and any egg will become absolutely unfit for human consumption within tour or five days after develop ment starts. Since temperatures even higher than those mentioned are not uncommon during sum mer months, the desirability of "swatting the rooster" at that time la very Important. By keeping eggs fertile, the dif ficulty of handling Ihera is greatly reduced. Another of the rules for producing good summer eggs is to keep them clean. A dirty egg has usually been wet, snd wetting de stroys the natural film which pro tects sn egg agalns the entry ot the spores of decay. Keeping eggs from getting dirty Is not nearly as difficult as It sounds. Provide plenty of clean nests; and clean them frequently. It Is also ad visahle to keep hens indoors when the hens are wet and muddy. M a. Look at the bouquet, not the girl, here, for these flowers are daid. to b's richest of all in color and to produce seed worth u-n limes their weight in golj. They're called cineraria. Mug .Mildred Itider is diaplaing a bunch from the farm ot Fred H. Howard of Montebdlo. Calif. Should the eggs become soiled in spite of all precautions, keep them for home consumption, lio not wash them, as washeu eggs spoil quickly. Gather egi;s at least once or twice each dar. A cool clean place Is another es sential factor in keeping eggs fresh and markeuble during the warm days of summer. A base ment is usually cool enough but should lie dry and free from ob jectionable odors. So matter how good your storage facilities may be. however, market your eggs often in hot weather and the hot ter the weather the ottener they should be gotten out of your hands. Bad flavors in eggs are usually more common during hot weather than at other times. They may result from mold, absorption of odors or feeding ot certain mate rials. Eggs held in a damp musty place will develop a mold which causes an unpleasant flavor, or storing egges near onions, cab bags, kerosene or any other sub stance with a strong penetrating odor may cause bad flavors. Most of the suggestions given above might well be kept in force the entire year round. The high temperature of summer months creates special conditions, how ever, which make it doubly desir able to exerolse every precaution to ineure delivering to market only eggs that are strictly fresh and palatable. Producers who are known to deliver only the best ot high grade eggs can always com mand a higher price Snd can find a ready market for their output even when others are bewailing the fact that over-production or some other ever present bugaboo has beaten their price down.
