But by the time to dry figs, the recipe will be ready; so, will the writers of all the letters be good enough to "take this for their answer and possess their souls in patience? Maybe they would feel more like it if I told them I got up at five o'clock this morning to have this: letter written and out of the way before the day's real work began.

' These are often burned in grain growing sections,' but' not often are they burned in the South, where the small amount of grains produced makes their straws scarce and of a high value for feed and bedding; but their value for. supplying humus' and plant foods is not appreciated as sometimes potassium added, must be the chief ,means of maintaining soil' fertility.

Ami , The witloof chicory is growing , so vigorously, that it's about to push oyer the garden fence. .There '.are two long rows of it thriving like Jack's bean stalk and choking out ev ery weed in sight. I am tremend ously interested iri its possibilities and if it's a failure, at least I'll have had a good time experimenting. What's the pleasure of living if you're going to do the same thing ev ery day for three hundred and sixty five days iri the year of each one of your allotted three score years and ten? And a garden can furnish more interesting surprises than Paris. I've tried both, and give me a garden'ev- ery time for thrills. As it's the first time with chickory I've been reading up on it and the account says the leaves can be cooked like spinach jf put through two waters to take out the bitter taste. Next fall when the vegetable supply gets slack it will be tried as a spinach substitute. Isn't it odd how you will go for years, hearing and reading nothing of a certain thing, and then, when your attention is once drawn to it, NE thing the farmer can do to Increase the food supply for man and beast is to plant peas. I say plant , because peas are too scarce and high-priced to sow broadcast. One bushel of peas will plant four or five acres. Now is the urgent time to begin to prepare for a big grain crop next year, especially wheat. All idle land should be brolcfen now and planted to peas. By planting in rows and using a little phosphate and cultivat ing you get a better yield of peas than by- any other method. If you have no idle land, a good plan is to plant peas on, the wheat and oat stubble. If you have not time to break the land, run off the rows with a plow. and follow by planting the peas. You can break between the rows and cultivate when the rush of farm work is over. Even if the peas should not have time. to mature, it will pay. Green peas make an excellent food for the table, and there is nothinr; better for poultry and young pigs. The peas will come off by frost and you then have a most excellent preparation for a wheat crop. Seed wheat next fall wi)l be too high and valuable to waste. What we should do is to grow larger yields per acre and one way is to plant' peas as-1 have suggested. R. W. Scott, Haw River, N.
