From way-down In Florida to wav-up In Georgia this la one crop that can be pl.tntcd one time or another thl* month. csfM-cially where the dwarf kinds ar** us* and and the majority t*t truckers have found that the dwarf kinds are much th** more satisfactory. Th dwarfs, such as Tom Thumb. IJttle G m. Wonder, etc., can be ma*k‘ to yb*l 1 ntMMit as much to the acre as the very tallest and with a groat ileal leas trou ble. Th* dwarf kinds will ullow of much heavier manuring and if the land Is well plowed and the row-* laid off an close as they can I**. It is wonderful the yield they will make. They do t*r>t hear ns continuously aril so late In the season a* some of the very tall-growing kinds, but this does not con cern the trucker.

Then the land will be clean***! and an • flier valuable crop started on the land in May. |*erha|s In Aj*rll IVa* can le made a very profitable crop ly the trucker If he understand* how to grow them nd how to ship to best ad vantage.

The Florida urower will plant thW* m>nth. where the M •kll** tleorzia urower will wait at least six week* longer. In the latter section there is nothing gained by putting thle crop In before the Wth of February. It would be Adml**d. to plant the crop early In January here in such a winter i* the mildest out of t*n did. not knowing when thl* winter is due. It would not be wise to take the risk. Three years out of five the potatoes are severely nipped by fros*. ne It Is when planted Feb. 10.

It le conceded by all good Judge* that spinach i* by fur the most deferable alod plant y*t discovered. It is a very delightful dish when served properly, ami it is credlteu with possessing i mark I medicinal value, being alterative ami c ii.ocil purifier, when urd freely in the winter or early spring. Next to spinach the preference should fall on mustard. The Georgia Cracker may choose <• dish of coils rd* in prefeienc** to dther, but it is not wtee to have such taste. Osloa*. In Middle Georgia It Is not safe to so*v the seed before the very last of th*? month, and as n general tHlng it is much safer to wait until the mUklle of Feb ruary.. The young plants ire easily heaved out bjr freeze, ns the roots ar*- very delicate and near the surface.

A great many plants are severely In jured by not being repotted at the proier time If a plant Ui growing rapidly, an I fills the pot It Is In with root*. It should at that time receive a shift to a tot of lrger size in order that development may go on without interruption. If it Is not given then the plant become* p>t i ► which it will U. * long time in r* overlng. Therefore, as soon a* you discover that your plant* have filled their old pot* with routs, shift them to pot* of larger size. If making active growth at the time If they are nearly dormant when this condi tion is discovered, you can wait until they show signs of renewed activity anJ then shift. All plants are Injured by allowing In sects t remain on them. Get rid o r them as soon ns pos-lb|e nft* r flnl them. A good Insecticide Is made by dP solving a quarter of a pound >f Ivory s*ap in a pullful of water, mix! dipping Ihe plants In It. This *>i only rid* the plants of Insects, but. if Used a* a pre ventive, keeps them away. Ebon E. Rex ford. Potash for Fruit Trees. In an article on fertilizing fruit tree* In the Houthern Planter, Mr. H. K. Vin Deman has some very valuable thoughts on the use of pntaxh "Rut potash Is the m<**t Important of all the plant foods to the frub grower A soil that Is rich In potash 1* almost hup to la* a good one for fruit. That Is largely why those of the Pacific Cou*l are *** w* ll adapted to fruit. The mountain* have been melting down for untold ages, and she soils which they have made on Fie slope* and In Ihe valley* are heavily charged with potash. It gives large size to the fruit, and his a wonderful effect ut>on Its color and quality. Although the red color In fruits Is dlr*< tly cjumsl by Iron In oxidized form* the potash some how.

Common sense would therefore, lead us to make up the deficit In the cheapest wny possible.
