The Home Garden Gooseberries and currants are not grown to a very great extent in Indiana. They are quite common in the home garden, but are given but little care: Both are valuable fer jellier. preserves and for canning. They aro very reliable as to growing a croo. at they will stand low temperatures without killing either buds or wood. They will do best on a northern slope or where they will have shade for a por tion of the day. They may be planted in the home garden on the north side of a fence or building. They may occupy only a small space where otherwise nothing would be planted because of its size. Unlike strawberries, they may be planted in the fall to good advantage, as they lose their leaves early and are soon ready to set. It is well to protect them in the winter time with straw or leaves. If the plants are so placed that cultivation is inconvenient, mulch them heavily with straw, or cuttings from the lawn. This will keep the ground cool and moist and keep down grass and weeds. In a five year test -with 25 plants each of 16 varietes, Purdue universiiy found the following gooseberries to be of most value: Dunning, Houghton Pearl and Joelyn. Seventeen varieties of currants were tested at the same time and the following are recommended: Red Cross. North Star and Wilder. Red Dutch is very productive, but small.

The pommercial bulletin tomorrow will say: "The wool market has passed through another quiet week, sales be1 ii ii j i , t '"" " . ' , , have been maintained formally enough. The goods market still is sluggish on the standard types of goods, although some business continues on woolens and overcoatings. The manufacturers, however, pay the present prices on wools with extreme reluctance.

COURT REPORTER HAS EYE OUT FOR GREENS John Holaday, court reporter, came into his office with a smile Friday morning. It was one of those broad, generous smiles that light up the whole room. John was at peace with tile world. ; v . "Why the joyou9 mien?" he was asked. This morning, as I was coming downtown," explained John, "I saw a bank of earth .ordinary black earth, with a southern exposure. The green of the young grass was just beginning to show- and the translucent rays of the sun had permeated." he paused a moment, "yes, permeated the sail. And that same sunlight was in the process of being transmitted into a glorious bloming dandelion!" The awed silence was broken into by an irreverent listener. "Huh!" he scoffed, "I don't see anything to rave about in an ordinary dandelion." Holaday turned a pitying eye on the scoffer. "They make good greens," he explained simply.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

"We are paying $1.33 for wheat today, and went as high as $1.35 on Monday." was the report from the Farmers' elevator at Camden, Thursday. Asked as to the willingness of farmers to sell at recent advanced prices the elevator man said: "Farmers seldom sell on an advancing market. Mighty little wheat is coming in;, nor is there a great deal left on the farms around here, but those who have held on are looking for still higher prices. In case of a decline we may expect freer marketing, that being the general rule. What little corn we are buying for local trade Is now costing us 55 cents. Our feed trade is a bit slow just now. Some commercial feeds of the better grades are scarce and hard to get; they are also higher in price and look too high to many consumers. The recent warm days checked the demand for coal to some extent, but there is a little moving all the time. The price of wheat at the Richmond Roller mills has been advanced another nickel and Mr. Carpenter has been paying $1.35 for the last day or two. It is doubtful, however, if any kind of a price would bring in wheat in appreciable quantity while roads are in such bad shape. As a matter of fact not a great deal of wheat is now held in the Richmond district, and those 'ho have held" on are likely to still j hold, taking a chance that prices will I rule higher before there is a new crop i on the market. Much may happen the ! growing winter wheat crop before it , hits the thresher, this always being i true at this season. We are told that buyers have se cured eggs at as low a cost as 18 cents at Modoc within the week, on a cash basis. Looks as if the hens think Epring has arrived, if that is a fact. Farmers Are Selling Tobacco Quinn Brothers, of Eaton, leaf buyers and warehousemen, report that considerable tobacco has been sold this week, the high and low being 1Z cents per pound. Some few crops were picked up last week, they say, and this week several farmers have contracted their crops. Asked if only one price had been paid, Mr. Quinn said all had been paid 12 cents, so far as he had heard .and that crops not deemed worth that money were passed up. He considers "12 cents a fair price for the quality on sale in the Eaton section.' It is not unlikely that the bulk of the farmers will contend that their tobacco should bring more money, even if they feel obliged to sell. Some Sales at Eldorado Frank Blackford, of Eldorado, tobacco grower and well-known horti culturist, says that no shipments of j 1 tobacco have thus far been made from I Eldorado. The leaf has not yet begun 1 to move, he says, although a few crops 1 1 have been contracted at 12 cents. ! I These were not "good" crops, is his opinion, at least were not first class, as he understood, but were of a low or in ferior grade. It is Mr. Blackford's opinion that holders of the best leaf will be in no hurry to sell, as the feeling prevails that a little more money can be had by holding on for a while. 1 As to the effect that a 12-cent price might have on the , 1922 acreage he believes that it would tend to cut it aown, wniie a price or la cents or better would stimulate Interest and result in larger plantings. "Tobacco buyers can get a line on the probable tobacco acreage to go in this year by taking into account the price they pay for the crop now coming on the market," according to Mr. Blackford.
