RHODUS $ :o: SPECIALLY WRITTEN L READERS TURAL SUBJECTS FROM RELIABLE SOURCES ' Crisp young radishes and lettuce aro best eaten fresh from the garden; whereas tho succulent string bean, tho prolific tomato, tho iron-rich spin ach, to say nothing of carrpta, Swiss chard, beets, peas, corn or asparagus will delight tho palate and enrich tho diet many months after they mat uro in the garden, if properly put up in cans or jars and stored in tho pantry, says the University of Nebr aska Agricultural College. It is not enough to enjoy these vegetables when they aro fresh. From October to June the storago collar and tho grocery are likely to yield only potatoes, turnips, old carrots, cabbage and onions, and the use of these vege tables is likely to prove monotonous without occasional reminders of tho summer garden. It may tako a little more time to plant and culti vate two rows of beans or two dozen tomato plants instead of one, but if it furnishes these vegetables for win ter as well as summer use it is worth tho while. The amount of each kind o vegetable to bo canned depends on tho preference of tho household and the garden must bo planted accordingly. Various steps are being taken in tho regions hoavlly infested by grasshop pers last year to prepare for their ade quate control during the coming sea son should tho same situation arise. All says tho United States department of agriculture At a rccont conferenco attended by entomologists from Canada, as woll as stato and federal entomologists, plans were co-ordinated for conduct ing a series of oxporlmonts this year to determine the most offoctivo pois oned baits for various species of grass hoppers -which infest different re gions. Tho work is to bo done on a uniform basis, so that tho results ob tained may bo easily compared. It is also planned to construct an in ternational map, showing in a large, regional way tho grasshopper condi tions in both Canada and this coun try. This map will bo available both in making an annual rocord and for futuro referenco in control work. A special agent of tho bureau of ento mology, with headquarters at Billings, Mont., has been assigned to mako in vestigations bearing on the grasshop por situation this year in Wyoming, North Dakota, Minnesota, and other affected areas. OLD TIMERS CLUB Probably tho majority of farmers in Nebraska think that the vegetable garden is a necessary nuslanco that must be tolerated. The most they can soo in regard to it is that it interferes with tho work in tho busy season of tho year, or else it does not Interfero with them at all and Is left entirely to the women of tho family. Several experiment stations havo operated farm gardens on an experi mental basis. All theso demonstato very large gains from tho farm vege table garden. Tho Missouri Agricul tural college has recently published a bulletin showing that the net income from a vegetable garden of one-fourth aero through a three-year period was $134.00 per year. This would be at tho rate of ?53G.00 per acre. The total cost of this garden averaged $46.50 per year through the three-year per iod. Moro careful and thoughtful at tention to the garden on tho farm is one very excellent means of increas ing the Incomo from the farm by re ducing the expenses for food, and in cidentally the general health of the family can probably bo Improved. The University of Ncbrai.ka Agricultural College has a number of bulletins on special garden crops and general gardening which will be mailed to residents of tho state free 'upon re quest to County Agricultural Exten sion agents or to tho college Itself.

The Nebraska Growers Association has just issued the rules governing, for tho coming season, the inspection and certification of improved, var ieties of crops. Kanrcd wheat, barley, Rosen rye and Aksnrben soy beans aro listed as being eligible for certi fication. All of these crops have been found to bo especially adapted to Nebraska and to yield more than tho common varieties grown over the stato. Fields of theso grains that can pass the requirments are certified for seed purposes. Tho rules for certi fication are more strict than in pro tons years. This will restrict tho cer tification to careful growers who will produco pure, high quality seed. A nominal fee Is charged to pay, in part the ' costs of inspection. Tlioso whose fields pass inspection will be listed in tho seed list of tho Asso ciation, furnished witli a certificate showing tho purity of tho crop, fur nished with Association tags and as sisted in getting tests to comply with the Stato scad law. Anyone interest ed in growing certified seed should write the Secretary of tho Nebraska Crop Growers Association, Agricul tural College, Lincoln, Nobr.

During tho working season ' when horses aro performing heavy work, It Is very Important that they receive a liberal ration of grain and rough age, says tho University Nebraska Agricultural College. Opinions differ greatly rcgardng pie amount and kind o.f feed a horse should receive when performing hard work Corn and oats, mixed, make a very accept able grain feed. A good combination of theso two feeds is 2 bushels of oats to 1 bushel of corn. A general rule that will give good results Is to feed about 14 pounds grain to every ono hundred pounds of horse at hard work. Ono gnllon of tho above men tioned grain mixture three times a day Is about tho proper amount for a 1200 pound horse. Approximately ono pound of good quality hay per day per ono hundred pounds of Hvo weight 1b sufficient. The amount of hay to bo fed will nooDssarily vary somowhnt with tho kind and quality avallahle. Where horses aro turned on night pasture they should have access to hay at least during tho noon hour. Tho hays most generally Sod In Nobraska, rank ed in order of their value as work piorao feed, aro alfalfa, good wild hay, cano hay, and sudan grass. Plenty of water Is very essential to good Buccess with work horses, They should havo ncciess to clean water In tho morning, at noon and during tho night. so: Monoy fo loan on Improved farms. J. E.

But how much real thought does he give to that most destructive of all agencies friction generated in faulty operation ? Automotive engineers say that more than 80 of all bills for motor overhauling, repairs and replacements are caused by using low-grado oils or oils of unsuitable body. Friction wears a truck's life out And yet to overcome it is so easy. The complete Polarine Chart is in the hands of all Pplarine dealers and it contains a list of tested lubrication specifica tions for all trucks. This chart tells you what grade of oil your truck needs in each season and under all operating conditions. It is accurate to the last degree. It is 100?" friction insurance. Polarine Oil is the product of the world's largest oil refiners. It retains its body and lubricating quality under all operating conditions. Polarine prevents friction. Its fuel-tight and gas-tight seal in the cylinders assures maximum pressure development, power a-plenty and big mileage per gallon of gasoline. Polarine Oil is made in four grades medium light, medium heavy, heavy and extra heavy but in ono quality. Get the proper grade for your truck or car at the same place you buy clean-burning, balanced Red Crown Gasoline. Immediately you will begin to avoid motor troubles.
