decay, will become young again when'
you, the doctor, have cut and healed
his rotting sores. The trees pay back
a thousandfold. A little planting done
by your community around on the waste
places may make a forest that will pay
off the municipal debt when the time for
refunding comes. But let us not talk in
those terms. The trees will pay in love,
m beauty, in magic of response to care.
They call to the childless. They offer to
bless through long years and ages those

Canning Station Results.
"Ihe season just closing at the canning
station has been far more than usually
successful. A larger number of people
than ever before have made use of the
station, thus improving their methods of
canning and insuring that their products
will keep unspoiled for winter use.
It may interest the ladies to know that
they put up of fruits and vegetables in
tins 638 pints (No. 2 cans) and 3>594
*^iuarts, and in glass jars 330 quarts.
Ihese figures are not complete for the
season which has several days still to
So. But it is plain that old H. C. L. has
been hit hard in Badin!
It is a pleasure to testify to the excel
lent work of Miss Monroe, canning
demonstrator, and also to mention Mrs.
Kerns, who has been canning since Miss
Monroe left us in order to take up her
school work.

September Planting
Sow winter Radish, Spinach, Turnip,
Mustard and Kale.
Sow seed of the early Jersey Wake
field Cabbage after the middle of the
month, to make plants for setting m the
open furrows in November. These are
what we call “frostproof” plants.
About the middle of September plant
seeds of the Yellow Potato Onion; these
will ripen about June. Plant at the same
time sets of the Norfolk Queen and
Pearl, for green onions for next spring.
The Norfolk Curled Kale can be sowed
in rows or broadcast, for winter and
spring cutting, as can the Seven Top
Tui-nip.
Give the Irish potatoes rapid and shal
low cultivation. They need a dust blan
ket on the surface to conserve the mois
ture. Do not disturb the Sweet Potato
vines. Some people think it well to pull
them loose from the ground; but this
does more harm than good.
Early in the month, any of the flat
turnips can be sown.
Lettuce plants from seed sowed in
August should now be set for heading.
What is needed is a bed heavily ma
nured, and then, after the plants start,
some nitrate of soda as a side-dressing,
to push them along—for lettuce to be
good must be grown fast. The middle of
the month, sow seed of the Big Boston
Lettuce to be set out the following
■month.
