An curly start is necessary to gvt

An absolute essential in addition to
rich soil. continual cultivation and
plenty of moisture, is enough room
to develop without any check in
growth until the head is ready for
the table. Most mistakes in raising
head lettuce and which cause failure
of the plant to develop a. head lie
in getting too late a start and m
failing to give the plant room. The
seedlings should be transplanted ten
inches apart. This will gtve_amplc
room for the continual cultivation

for the rapid developrncnt necessary

Anna Q. Nil-son is playing op-
posite Ernest Torrance in "The

acquired a. blue blooded police pup
with whom she planned to have her
picture taken. Said pup proved
temperamental, however, or else he
had a most peculiar taste, for he
refused t oeven make friends with
Anna (imagine that!) and as for
having his picture "took." nothing
was further from his ambition. An-

Sam’H. Harris. successful theat-

motion picture producer. A. threat-
ened strike of the Equity Players
has decided him to put some 0:
his successes into pictures. Doug.
Fairbanks is a. friend of Harris' and
while in New York he has been a
frequent caller at the latter'l office,
which may mean nothing. and then
again. it might have some bearing
on the fact that Harrls' first pro-
duction tor the screen will be
"Rain." with Jeanne Eagles. his

Pickford has ambitions. to produce
other pictures besides her own, so
speculation as to a. combination of
the Pickford-Fairbanke and Harris
forces is legitimate. Sounds like a
good business proposition, doesn't
it?

turn‘ed over it will fall apart easily
and not separate into big, soggy
lumps that need to be hammered to
be done after a rain, as soon as the
small feuding roots of plants can
penetrate and scouro their food
much more readily in a. well tilled.
friable soil than in a heavy. lumpy.
soggy one.
The garden should be gone over
and cultivated once a week. By this
is meant not only the destruction of
weeds but. the stirring of the soil
about the plants. Cultivation should
be done artetr a rain. as soon as the !

to cultivate and it will pay a. garden
This would result only in lumpy
condition. Cultivation just before
watering in dry times will also tend
to make the soil lumpy. Cultivate
after watering to keep the moisture.

after watering as possible.
Cultivation helps to retain moist-
ure in the soil by establishing a. thin
covering of thinly divided soil often
called a dust mulch. This does not
evaporate moisture as rapidly as a
closely packed surface nor does it
act as a sponge to draw up moisture
from below as rapidly as am firm
surface by capillary attraction the

Cultivate more frequently in dry

The best time for cultivating is
early as has descended to conserve
such moisture as has descended dur-
ing the night and prepare for tho
sun and winds during the day.
The common has and the rake are
