Swiss Chard
is a Sure-Fire
Greens Crop
Plant It to Take the Place of
Spinach It Will Survive
the Heat Better.
Swiss chard 13 a sure-fire greens
crop lor anyone, easy to plant, easy
to grow, and furnishing a continuous
supply for the whole season if cut
above the ground and allowed to re
grow. It is merely a beet of pale com
plexion that runs to leaves instead
of to roots. It makes a very heavy
leaf growth and the leaves should be
tut off instead of uprooting the en-,
tire plant. A hardy crop, it will net
mind a little bad weather, and the
sooner it is in the ground, the soon
er you will have a supply of big
crinkly leaves ready for the kitchen.
The better the soil and culture the
larger and faster will the hugs leaves
be produced and the more tender they
will be. Each chard plant need3 at
least 6 inches of room in which to
develop. It will then make a solid
row with the foliage pushing togeth
er. It is a great mistake to sow it
too thick. There is no vegetable in
which too thick planting so definite
ly cuts down the crop.
The root system is small compared
with the root-forming hects, but the
top is extra heavy ar.d must have
the space to develop. The chard
makes a very heavy -stem and mid
rib, which are best removed when
cooking the leaves for greens, and
may he cooked separately and served
like asparagus. The flavor of these
etcms is very tieiieate. much less pro
nounced than the green portion of
the leaves, and no matter how large
they always cook tender. They are
also used for pickling and offer a
novelty in this line.

Line Open Week
Ahead of Time
Latest Reports Indicate That Bur
lington Train Service Will Be
Eesumed by June 20.

PLANT WITH THE SEASON
The wise gardener keeps on plant
ing with the season, knowing full
well that the old superstition about
spring being the only planting time
is a fable. Planting with the sea
son, as a matter of fact, is the best
way, because it assures a harvest
that is continuous from spring to
late fall. If you missed out on the
early radishes, plant some summer
varieties. Cos lettuce will take the
place cf the early leaves. Carrots
may be planted well into June. Swiss
chard takes the place of spinach dur
ing the hot weather, and is just as
good. Don't .forego a garden this
year because it's late many a June
planted garden is as successful as
one planted in April.

Salem, the first , crop wps ' nearly
wiped out by' the army worms, it was
said.
