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.

The Polarine Chart Is Friction
Insurance For Truck Owners
A TRUCK owner will insure his property against fire,
accidental damage of all kinds, or theft. 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.
