Perry-Mome Seed Cp. experia urge wise selections in order to produce quality crept of bumper size on a small home plot While bush beans rank among the kinds of vegetables that yield unusually well for the spape they occupy, pole beans will produce several times as much in the same area. The Kentucky Wonder type of pole bean is especially practical. Tha long pods hang in thick clustem, and if some of theni, become too old for snaps, the beaiu inside are delicious for “green shells." Beet is a double-duty vege^ble. A row or two will fumi^ greens in the young stage and plenty of roots later on. A small planting oi Swiss chard will supply a family with greens for a long season if the outer leaves are kept cut. and the inner 'ones allowed to keep on growing., • It pays to choose cabbage varieties with care if you want to grow the largest possible number of heads in a horn# garden. Small, early heading varieties such as Copenhagen Blarket and Early Jersey Wakefield take up less space than more spreading types. The plants are so comp^ that twelve to fifteen heads can be grown in a twenty foot row. Spreading vines like melon, winter ■qiush, and pumpkin usually take up too much rnnm in a small garden for what they supply in real food value. Sumiher squa^ varieties of compact habit, however, are ideal, particularly the improved straightneck strains. They taka up compemtively little space' for the quantities of tasty succulent fruits they produce. Some varieties of tomato yield far lielter than others for the amount of AKun the vines talre up.

No Isolation Of The Mind By Ruth Taylor One thing we have learned in the storm and strife of the^past two years. There can nq longer be isolation of any nation. As the airplane haa cut down the distances between countries, as the radio has wiped out the bar riers of time, we have learned cur interdependence one upon the other. Ehren the' .most ardent nationalists have come to realise this fact. Even more important, however, is the growing knowledge that In the new world to come there must be no isolation of the mind.
