Chief cause for lack of quality in seme garden vegetables, grown in fertile soil with good care, Is crowding; and crowding is due to failure to thin out the row, so cart plant has sufficient room to develop properly. And failure to thin out is often due to emotional resistance on the part of the gardener, whe cannot brin? himself to destroy the- precious seedling -"plants which have grown from the seed he (moie often she) has sown. This must be over- come. Another reason may be the work involved, when seeds have been sown too thickly. It is not nnc'cmimon for 10 times the re- quired number of seeds to be "sown, so that 00 per cent of the Medlines murt be oulled up , That is obviously excessive. The rate of seeding even nn small , seeds should not,exceed 15- seeds per foot, except where yeTmliT- ation is known, to be much lower than the leial standard. " Even with high-germinating seeds it is advisable to sow more than you will have rcotn to mature: because accidents are always possible 'which will destroy some plants; and vacancies in a row are difficult to' fill. For the same reason, thinning should be a gradual process, beginning when plants are large enough to handle, and continuing; until ' they reach nt least half size. This keeps spare plants available during the early weeks when accidents arc most likely to destroy some. At first, plants of row crops may be thlnntd out to stand one inch apart: which will ln- sure, to each, room to develop. without entangling roots wlh a neighbor. As they grow, alternate plants should be removed, and so cn until the optimum spacing is achieved.

Whole beets which took an hour to boil the old-fashioned way are ready to serve in 15 or 20 minutes from the time the pressure Is registered on the saucepan. There are different types of pressure cookers, and some reach a higher than boiling temperature vnder pressure with consequent shortening cf the cooking time. Whatever the type used, the housewife should remember that compressed steam has great potential power and home economists warn that the instructions accompanying each of these utensils should be followed to the letter.
