C„ Aug. 15 —"Don’t forget to save beans and peas out of your surplus for the planting next spring." is the advice which seed experts of the U. S. department of ag- ( riculture are sending to home gar- , ' deners ami market gardeners in Indiana. 1 “Many market gardeners have ■beans or peas which they find it un- ' profitable to consume or to sell in * the green state at the present time.” ! declared a department expert today. "They want to use the ground for la-; ter planting and there is a temptation to plow under the whole crop. This, however, should not be done. It is better to save the crop, provided the stock is satisfactory, as it can be used for seed next year. Beans or peas in quantities beyond what is needed for seed can be used for food.” ' It is not difficult to handle and cure the vines and pods of both beansand peas. After the seed has reached full size and before the vines and pods arc ripe and dry, the vines should be cut with a scythe or sickle, or pulled by hand. They can be ■ cured by merely spreading on the I ground until well wilted. If the crop I is large, the vines should be stacked lon ground covered with rails or I brush and tied against stakes driven I in at intervals a few inches apart. B After the beans and peas are dried 1 the can be threshed and the seed re- ” covered. In the emergency campaign for the conservation of perishable fruits and vegetables, the department of agriculture is laying stress upon tite necessity of providing lor an adequate vegetable seed supply for the 1918 planting season. 11l ■ I-—II I ()■,■—— ——— —-—— —— I ICE CREAM SOCIAL.

WATERMELONS ARE GOOD Take advantage of the low price of ■ watermelons and make your preserved 1 gingered rind now, says today’s bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, which is cooperating with this newspaper in iis country wide food conservatloi) camt paign. To preserve watermelon rind, take two pounds of rind after the peel [ and the pink part Ims been removed, cut it into squares and soak over night 3 in a solution of two ounces full 1 strength limewater added to a gallon of-pure water. (The full strength lime water may be purchased at any 1 drug store.) The next morning soak ’’ the rind in clear water, drain well and a place for ten minutes in rapidly boilt ing water. y Make a sirup of six cups of sugar I > ,1 three quarts water. Add the juice of y one lemon and slice in half another, s add the rind slowly to the holing sirup r and cook until melon is tender and j. transparent. Remove the kettle from is the stove and allow contents to cool, after cooling, arrange pieces of rind at(j tractively in the jars with slices of il lemon and add boiling hot sirup of ® medium heavy density. Partially ( , g tighten tops of jars and sterilize for h forty minutes in boiling water, rer’ move jars, tighten tops and (dace <o g cool in place free from draughts. h “ Gingered Watermelon Rind: Pro--8 ceed as for preserves until the rind s i. has been soaked out after treatment , i- with limewater. Then ilrain rapidlyi ' for fifteen minutes in ginger tea. | (Use an ounce of ginger to a quart of >• water.) Make a medium sirup by tn--5 ing a pound and a half of sugar, a ■ quart of water and a pint of strained s ginger tea. Cook the rind in this sirup J for about two hours, or until tender and transparent. After this proceed - as in the case of preserves. d ; Muskmelons may be preserved in i. the same way as watermelons except * that a little stronger lime water should ’ be used in soaking the rind.

such as that which was caused by the combined effort of rust in the spring wheat belt in 1916, and winter ; killing in th ■ winter wheat belt last j winter is thereby al least partially in- | mired again t. It is recomemnded therefore that the acreage of rye be increased this year in the spring wheat sections over that sown ip, thp fall of 1916 about 109,000 acres in NoTth Dakota. 75.000 acres in Minnesota. 89,000 acres in- Wisconsin, and 6.000 acres in South Dakota. Rye should be sown more generally on the sandy lands along the lakes in Michigan. Illinois. Ohio and New York, and in New Jersey, so an increase of 76.000 acres is rec< mmended for Michigan, 72,000 for Indiana, and 12.000 for New Jersey. Rye also should take the place of many of the old pasture and hay lands of New York. U. nnsylvania, and the New England states. Rye is a safer crop than winter wheat for such lands. Pennsylvania has much land more suitable for rye than for wheat, so an increase of 70,000 acres is suggested for that state. New York is asked for anly 8,000 acres increase but it is thought that a larger increase in rye may be possible in that state. Some increases over the 1916 sowings are asked for in the eotton belt. It is estimated that last fall thei'e was sown in the cotton belt about

j 100,000 acres of rye. It seems advisable to recommend that at least 250,- ■ 000 acres of rye should be sown in the cotton belt this year, replacing | some of the winter oat acreage. I The the corn belt are ask- . ed also to enlarge considerably their [ rye acreage over that sown in 1916, aa the’■lighter soils which are not especially well adapted for wheat could . be planted to advantage to rye. ‘ o RED CROSS WORKING TO LOCATE MISSING BRITISH.
