Several hours before transplanting soak the plant bed thor- t oughly with water. Then when the 1 plants are dug up a lba.ll of earth will ' stick to *the roots and very few t , c plants will be lost. To get the best * flavor celery should (be blanched with 1 earth. When blanched in that manner the rows should be five feet apart ' and the plants set five inches apart ( in the row. - ' * Q. Give socme facts about kale and j How planted. ? A. Kale is a salad plant. It does , not form heads and the leaves are t used the same way a^ turnip leaves Planted at his time kale will furnish ^ an talbundance of salad through fall j and winter. The seed should be t sown in the open ground in rows t 2 1-2 feet apart, 1 ounce of seed rto g 100 feet of drill and one-half inch deep. When plants have developed ^ the third or fourth leaf thin 3 to 5 inces apart. Profoalbly the best variety is Curled Siberian. O Give best vairieities and planting * directions for other fall ciropb. A. Endive: 'heart; variety is the ^ Green Curled. Sow in well prepared ^ seed bed, 1-2 ounce to 100 feet of drill and 1-2 inch deep. In Septem'- 1 ber transplant to garden. Endive is an excellent salad plant and is used ^ in much the same ways as lettuce. It 1 is very hardy and "will need little protection during the winter. T Fall Turnips?Best varieties Norfolk Globe and White Globe. Sow * either broadcast or in drills 30 inches ipart, 1-2 ounce to 100 feet of drill, 1 L-2 inch deep. The tops pnake excelent salad and (the roots' aTe fine for ^ ?ble use, while the surplus roots can je profitably fed to stock. * Rutabagas??est varieties are (( Purpfle Top, Yellow and Yellow Slofoe. These dire large yielding varieties, hardy and pwefet therefore, ? ;ood for table use. iPlant between L5th this month and September, in ^ rows 2 1-2 feet apart and thin to 6-8 nches in the row. Harvest before ^ freezing weather, cut the tops and rank in soil very much the same as g >weet potatoes, except they do not rave to be covered with straw. ^ Radishes?Variety, Black Spanish. 3ow thickly in drills 30 inches apart, -j supply plenty of -water so that they ivill gTow fast if best results are desired. If planted where shaded part ? )f the day they will do better than f planted where the * sun strikes ^ ;hem all day long. Lettuce?Variety, Hanson or Dea- c :on. Sow in seed bed or in rows from L8 to 30 inches apart and thin 10 to i 12 apart in the row. Sown at this ;ime the heads' will mature during ? December, either in the open ground 5r the plants may be transplanted i ivhen small to fhe cold frame and matured there. Q. Why should we eat salad greens F ihe whole year round? A. Because salad greens contain ^ :ertain salts essential to best body ievelopment and health. 1 Q. Give several reasons why a fall garden should .be planted. I * A (1) Vegetables are very scarce ^ in the South at this season; (2) It is extremely hard to get good fresh ^ vegetables from the stores; (3) it is :i^aper to raise your own vege- , tables than to pay others for grow- ^ ing them for you; (4) you can get bhem out of your garden just when ^ you want them. ':'if sufficient vegetables have not ? been canned or dried for fall and winter use, iby all means plant as j may fall vegetables as possible. The j. farmers who raise nearly all their food this year will have more money <] to spend for other -cessary things than will the imi- ident farmer. "A penny saved is penny earned." I The fall crop of tomatoes will soon be ripening and there will no doubt I be a good demand from neighbors or nearby towns, and tms will give you J a chance to make a little extra money. 1 German Ambassador 1 Berlin, Oct. 23.?An official denial / that Director Cuno, of the Hamburg- 1 American line, is to be the United States after the resumption of peace, was issued today.
