GARDENS
OLD and NEW
(By Lucy W. Nicholson)
.~ Work began in earnest on fall
. gardens during this past month,
. August, and the sowing of seeds
~ will continue through September.
~ Fall gardens have had much
~ more attention of late years, as
}ifl’ll'deners “have found that they
. are repaid for every lick of work
.by having quantities of fresh Veg
- etables for the table far into the
~ winter. Of 'course, all gardenersl
. think their own home-grown veg
. etables are better than those they
¢ buy! Now, as to whether they
. really are or not, that is another
. Question—if you think so, why’
. you are the judge! {
& The gardep. plot was Cither,
~ plowed or turned upside down
~ With a fork, rows laid off, manure
. put into the furrows for the seeds.l
. beds made for turnip salad, cab
. bage and collards set out—all
| made in modish vitamin design!
E The Rule of Two ,
~ Snap beans are usually planted
* until about the middle of August
~ but as the season is considered a
~ week or so late this year, perhaps
~this week will not be too late to
. plant. Beans are ready to use in
;& om 6 to 9 weeks—many garden
~ ers count on 6 weeks.
. Two is the magic number in
. planting beans—have rows two
~ feet apart, plant bean seeds two
_ inches deep and two inches apart.
. You, too, ‘wil* have beans!
- Recipe From France
A French bride of this yearl
brought the following recipe to
America, her new home: Put snap
beans in a heavy aluminum steam
er, slice a tomato into the beans
as the only moisture, salt, cook
slowly until the beans are tender.
Put butter or white sauce over
them as you serve,
Other Fall Vegetables
~ Beets may be planted from
March to- September and are
ready to @at in from 6 to 11 weeks.
As they like deep, rich soil, put
in plenty of manure in the drills
before you scatter the seeds
thinly along, covering the seeds
about an inch deep. When the
beets are up two or three inches,
thin out your stand to four or
five inches apart. The plants you
pull up may be reset into another
row, pinch off a small part of the
bottom of the root.
As a relish, beets served with a
sprinkle of sugar and vinegir are
appetizing but served ‘hot with
butter and salt taste somewhat
like corn on the cob.
Di@ you ever have grown people
tell you when you were quite
young that eating carrots would
make you pretty? Maybe that's
the reason you've acquired a taste
for them.
Children Like Carrot “Brooms”
. Raw carrots, washed and scrap
ed, cut at the large end up into
thin slivers look somewhat like
brooms. The children like to sweep
up the rice on their plates with
these ‘“brooms,” and in a short
while the plates are swept clean
and even the “brooms” have dis
appeared. The carrots garnish
platters of sliced tomatoes and
portions of celery.
Battle Creek Salad
Mock salmon or Battle Creek
salad has no fish in it—it may
jook the part and taste good but
it is made of raw carrots. Wash
and scrape raw carrots, mix\ with
4 much smaller portion of soda
‘cracker crumbs, chopped celery,
‘and cooked salad dressing. Over
the top put minces hard-boiled
€epEs. Serve on crisp lettuce
leaves.
A Salad Ingredient
. Borders in the garden may be
made of radishes. Be sure to make
-the place rich as they should grow
off quickly to be desirable. In
from 3 to 6 weeks after the seeds
lare in, crisp red rddishes are on
_your table. Radishes may be used
sas a relish—they are also orna
“mental on the table—they look
lg'ood enough to eat! Then radishes
_gliced very Win, give a dash to
salads—vegetable, potato, salimon
~and tuna fish, and even chicken
salad. -
.~ And speaking of salads suggests
lettuce—but as it takes from 2 to
3 months: for lettuce to be ready
_ for use, it is hoped you have been
_ planting lettuce since March and
_up to September.
In the meanwhile, plan for
~ plenty of-turnip salad, rape, mus
~ tard, and spinach. It is difficult to
. plant too much of these leafy
. vegetables, if you are inttrested
~in your health.
~ After the salad bed has been
~ turned, pulverized. and fertilized,
Zs;; mix sand with your small seeds
. and broadcast the mixture and
~ tamp in. - |
gy Of course this salad patch is an
. invitation to flocks of birds—you
. wonder how enough seeds are
. Jest to make even a show of
. green. However, before long the
. salad plants are up and as thick
. and luxurious as any green velvet
. carpet. Later, in the winter, rab
ts may hop in to help you en
the greens. So while you are
anting, put in enough for your
=“household and for the birds and
¥ rabbits.
© One good thing about the salad
. bea is that it keeps green if vou
~ cut off the leaves rather than the
. whole plant or the bud, and by a
. little resting of the patch, the
‘» rreans come back bigger and bet-

BY RODNEY DUTCHER
(Banner-Herald Washington Cor
respondent.) ¢
WASHINGTON—The U. S. gov~
ernment is up to its ears in the
greatest effort ever directed at
amelioration of a natural catas
trophe.
. It's as hard to envision this wvast,
far-flung attack as it is to com
prehend the seriousness ana spread
of the Great Drouth itself.
The weather used to be just the
farmer’s hard luck—unless Wash
ington happened to get his freight
rates reduced or lent him a little
more money so, seed. The present
unparalleled drouth, threatening in
terference with recovery and bac
ly frightening an administration
sworn to raise farm prices by a
threat of food prices fa, too high,
is being handled on an entirely
different basis.
At least 750,000,000 will be spent
,betore the federal effort is over
‘and we'll be seeing the most enor
‘mous operation of food and feea
}conservatlon of all times.
Look at the drouth map to see
‘the area involved—lo 76 “emergen
cy counties”, in 22 states, including
all counties in Kansa§, Nevada the
‘Dakotas, Oklahoma and Utah, and
341 “secondary” drouth counties,
Nearly half the counties in = the
United States!
Roosevelt in Charge I
Our great so-called federal bu
reaucracy is meeting a mighty
test of its flexibility, ingenuity,
speed ang adaptability to new em
ergency conditions.. Several agen
¢fgs in the -“alphabet soup” are.in
volved. e
The extensive new powers grant
ed the New Deal by congress are |
coming in handy, not only for‘
farmers, but for the rest of us
whose pocketbooks are affected by |
many current weasures of conser-.
lvation and prevention.
The man in charge of all this is
President Roosevely himself, mak- |
‘ing the chief decisions and allocat- |
ing the $525,000,000 voted by con
)gress for drouth relief. Here’s the
get-up below him: w
| The AAA and department of
agriculture unde, Secretary Henry
A. Wallace are buying mlillions v
cattle and sheep to be removed
from the commercial market and
‘joining in a huge feed-forageé pro
gram of conservation and distr:-
'butlon necessitated by the fact that
the most desperate problem fs pr
marily one of animat food rather
than human food.
Livestock left on farms won't
have much more than 50 per cent
of normal feed requirements and
ioompulsory rationing is a possi
-1 bility.
The Federal Emergency Relief
administration is enlarging grants
to states for water and food relief,
expanding its work program in
drouth states, and launching a
great campaign which will employ
tens of thousands of distressed
I‘rural folk at rooting In the fielas
' for stubble and weeds badly ned
}ed for forage.
i Reserve Being Built
' Its federal surplus relief corpora
ltion kills and cans 50,000 head of
cattle a day to build up a reserve
for nheedy unemployed against win
ter, when meat prices will scoot up,
And to protect the rest o us from
even higher prices which that re
serve will prevent.
| The ¥Farm Credit association,
avorking with $100,000,000 from the
congressional grant—which isn't
enough—llends for seed, feed, sum
er fallowing, etc, while trytng to
seé that the government pays
enough for cattle t¢ protect its ex
isting loans. « .
The Citizens' Conservation Corps
hag turned its tools to drouth work I
in a program for which it alreaay
has received $20000,000° =« ,
The Commodity Credit Corpor
ation is advancing ~ $10,000,000 ot
RFC money to finance purchase
and orderly holding and merketing
of hides, easing the present market
glut, averting a subsequent certain
shortage, and turning some over toj
FSRC for processing into reliet]

dozen bureaus and committees are
working hard on the drouth.
Seed Bouyght in Huge Lots

in all operations, aiding livestock
h)urchases. exchanging information
}.between Washington ad farmers
and ‘reporting on need and availabi
lity of pasture in dozens of states.
The Burea} of Animal Industry’s
agents decide which animals are
fit to ship, cull herds and save
bulls which will preserve the be’st
' strains. They have visited more
| than 200,000 farms, checked more
‘than 10,000,000 heag of cattle, and
okayed more than 3,000,000 for
jpurchase, certified 54,000 carloads—
about two-third of the purchased
animals—for shipping. and con

\bureau also inspects the FSRC's

Benefit Payments Huge
Benefit payments this year will
be about $500,000,000, mostly in

reduction of railroad rates on hay,
feed, and cattle movements, loan

announced by Chester C. Davis,
administrator of the act.
J. B. Hutson, chief of the to
bacco section, has been designated
to work out the peanut adjust
ment program. The plan provides
for diverting a portion of the 1933
and 1934 crop from the shelling
to the' oil trade and for adjusting
the plantings in 1935.
Under this proposal, benefit pay
ments ‘would be made this season
on that portion of the crom di

the returns to grwoers for such
peanuts used for oil to approxi
mately -the level prevailing for

have flexible provisions under

as before is to drive the new Chevrolet over all kinds of roads. You
will find that the continuous jars you used to get even on smooth
pavements are ended. The steering wheel is free of vibration. Back
seat passengers are comfortable and relaxed. You can maintain
higher speeds over rough roads that used to slow you down. You
will find, in fact, that probably for the first time in your experience,
every foot of every mile is equally enjoyable.
This fine feature is combined in the new Chevrolet with beautiful,

the flashing performance of an 80-horsepower engine, and the great
economy of six-cylinder, valve-in-head construction. This combi
