He starts with seed, produces in ohe season ‘onions as large as you buy at the store.” His garden soil originally was pure clay, further “improved” by having a road over
a cinder dump on the side. “You could hardly get a spade into it,” Mr. Herrforth commented.
- . “ HERE ARE some of his methods: He gathers up all the grass and leaves he can get to use on his plot.
Some he uses on his onions in this fashion. -Mr. Herrforth spades his early garden in the fall, He makes a deep trench across one side--no shallow spading for him. In that trench he puts about six inches of grass clippings or leaves. Then, when he makes the second trench, he throws the dirt from it on top of the rubble in the first one, fills the second trench with rubble and so on across the plot. You could follow the same system in spading now, using partly rotted compost. . » ” BY EARLY spring when he is

HERE I$ MUCK good news for policyholders in the 1945 record of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company.
Payments to policyholders and their beneficiaries " reached a new all-time high of $623,000,000. Mortal- | ity among policyholders, excluding war deaths, was | the lowest on record. The yield on the Company's ' investments followed the general trend and declined pomewhat. The Company had asset gains which made it possible to revise policy and annuity reserves 80 as to reflect lower interest earnings. Scales of dividends to policyholders were maintained, and in some eases slightly increased.
Unassigned surplus funds at the year end amounted to $448,600,000. In addition the Company had special surplus funds of $109,400,000, of which $95,100,000 represented a special reserve for possible loss or fluctuation in the value of investments and’ $14,300,000 a Group Insurance reserve for epidemics, etc. These funds represent an extra cushion of safety for policyholders.

Mr. Herrforth is particularly proud of his black winter radishes, having some four inches thick. He buries them under leaves and has them to use all winter long. In fact, he demonstrated for me. Pulling out a long, dark, most unappetizing looking “carrot” from under the leaves, he scraped it clean with his knife; it turned out to be as mild and white a radish as I ever tasted. Mr. Herrforth is a member of the Saenger-Choir. He frequently takes his’ winter radishes to refresh the society after an evening's vocalizing.
ACROSS the back “ his garden, he has a row of black raspberries. “They're for the kids that go along the alley,” remarked Mr. Herrforth. This week he'll plant his mustard greens. Mr. Herrforth is trying out Cos lettuce this year. It makes long heads and is easier to raise than the regular head lettuce. Mr, Herrforth, 70, and a retired cabinetmaker from the Beech Grove shops, takes completé care of his large flower and vegetable garden.
