A wide variety is possible, particularly during the summer months. The best time to begin harvesting green vegetables is as soon as they become of edible size. ‘Several plant- ings of many crops should be made during the summer months to insure a constant supply of crisp, tender, and tasty vegetables. Spring spinach, Swiss chard, leaf lettuce, and similar crops are best if harvested as soon as the leaves be- come large enough to eat, not when they are fully mature. Swiss chard is at its best when the leaves are about two inches in diameter. Leaf lettuce is becoming more popular than head lettuce in the home garden, and cuttings are made as soon” as the leaves are of edible size. The Black- Seeded Simpson is a hardy variety of summer lettuce. Have Constant Spinach Supply New Zealand spinach is harvested as soon as the tips of the branches may be cut back ahout two inches. After a few days new branches bear- ing leaves will be put out. A con- stant supply may be had until frost. Kohl rabi is harvested when the en- larged stem is not more than two in- ches in diameter. This “knob” re- sembles the turnip in flavor and may be eaten either raw or cooked. Sow- ings of this vegetable may be made up to the middle of July or first of August. The first harvest of carrots may be made as soon as the roots are a little larger than a lead pencil. Carrots become tough and woody if allowed to stay in the ground too long. Three sowings of carrots will provide a sup- ply of young, tender roots for the whole year. The last sowing may be the last part of June or the first of July for the fall and winter supply. The Chantenay is the best all-round variety of carrot. The Coreless, Scarlet Nantes, and Amsterdam Fore- ing varieties are sometimes sown in the home garden on account of their tender, orange-colored roots which contain practically no core. They are cylindrical in shape and the tops are small. Beets are also harvested early and three sowings will insure a year’s supply of young, tender roots. The Crosby’s Egyptian is generally sown in the spring but the Detroit Dark Red variety is better for storage. C. C. McDowell Main Street Brethren Church Willis E. Ronk, Pastor Sunday School, 9:30 A.

(Prepared by the United States Depar:ment of Agriculture.) Before much definite progress can be made in getting the farmer out of the mud and in getting the city man out of the city on week ends, there must be co-ordination and co-operation of authorities in charge of local roads and highways in areas adjacent to large cities, according to the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. Theres are approximately 2,750,000 miles of local rural roads in the Unit- ed States, say bureau engineers, and approximately 1,000,000 miles are ad- ministered by town or township author- ities. There are, they say, 3,066 coun- ties or equivalent subdivisions, of which 67 in the New England states have no relation to improvement or maintenance of roads. Authorities of the remaining 2,999 exercise jurisdie- tion over the 1,750,000 miles of local roads classified as county roads. Control Construction. Only 975 of the 2,999 counties have control over construction and main- tenance which may be described as reasonably competent, according to the bureau, and there are 829 counties which have no definite organization whatever for the maintenance of roads, and in which the work is of the most casual and inefficient nature. “The county or township unit is generally so small and its taxing pow- er so limited,” says these federal road costs for proper supervision of and equipment for road work. If adequate equipment is provided, the area is gen- erally so small, and the mileage so limited that it cannot be employed full time. Control Limited. “In many counties control is limited to a single engineer who, in many cases, is poorly paid and is inexperi- enced or relatively incompetent. Only the larger or richer counties have suf- ficient income to employ competent en- gineers. Also elective local authorities seldom have the qualifications neces- sary for highway administration. There is a tendency for them to permit con- siderations other than the require- ments of traffic and other property controlling conditions to influence their administration. “The outward movement of popula- tton in metropolitan areas has caused a rapid growth of subyrban sections. Generally, each of these urban units has partial jurisdiction over sections of the county highways within its bor- ders, and the lack of 8 common plan has been a serious ckstacle to con- tinuous and consistent improvement of main highways. This g¢ondition, cou- pled with the rapid increaseesin traf- fic has resulted in serious congestion.” In these areas, says the bureau, land values are higher and with the con- centration of population more and bet- ter highways can be supported. Many Alfalfa Failures Caused by Barren Seed One of the chief causes contributing to the many failures of alfalfa is the use of an unsuitable variety. Differ- ent varieties are not distinguishable by the seed and to tis: average person they are not distinguishable by the ap- pearance of the growing plant. Most people when buying alfalfa seed sim- ply call for alfalfa geed, naming no variety and often they choose the low- est priced seed which is practically always an inferior variety, or seed of low vitality, says 8 writer in the Farmer's Guide. During the summer I observed many fields of alfalfa in all stages of bloom and so far as I can recall I never once saw a field with a variegation in the color of the flower. This fact alone convinces that a wrong variety is used largely.

Under the terms of an act passed by the 1929 Legislature, every bor- ough in this county will elect all new members of council this year: The terms of all Councilmen in the borough ended automatically under the terms of this act. In addition to the wholesale reor- ganization of the Council, a new method of choosing the President of the Town Council will be inaugu- rated. The council Presidents start- ing this year will be elected by a di- rect vote of the people, candidates for this office filing for it directly instead of as a “Councilman.” All boroughs in the future will have seven members of Town Coun- cil, six Councilmen and the Presi- dent of the Council. The law which was approved by the Governor on April 18; 1929 reads as follows: Act No. 253, approved the 18th day of April 1929, Councilmen and a President of the town Council. At the municipal Election in the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty nine, six councilmen shall be el- ected at large by the voters in each town, three for terms of two years, and three for terms of four years each. Bi- ennially thereafter at each Municipal and every four years thereafter a Presi- dent of the Town Council shall be elect- ed by the voters for a term of four years. The terms of the Councilmen and the President of the Town Council shall commence on the first Monday of Jan- uary succeeding their election. Vacan- cies in the office of Town Council and President of the Town Council shall be filled in the manner now provided for by law. The President and members of Council now in office shall continue till the first Monday in January, 1930 at which time their respective terms shall cease and terminate. Shower Held In Honor Of Mrs. Samuel Mallery A miscellaneous shower was held on last Tuesday evening at the home of Margaret Hostetler in honor of Mrs. Samuel Mallery. The evening was spent in playing various games. Many beautiful and useful gifts were received by Mrs. Mallery at the shower. After the playing of games had ceased a very dainty lunch was served by the hostéss, Miss Hostet- ler. Those present at the shower were: Mrs. J. H. Bowman, Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. Peter Weimer, Mrs. Mallery, Mrs. Nathaniel Friedline, Mrs. Robert Cook, Mrs. Schramm, Mrs. Dia and the Misses Eleanor Lepley, Lily Meehan, Isabell Bitt- ner, Helen Saylor, Florence Black, Margaret Black, Marion Black, Mary Reich, Mildred Stotler, Mabel Bittner, Isabelle Hipp, Betty Cook, Louise Will, Ida Deeter, Rita Dar- rah, and Jimmy and Alex Hostetler. At a late hour the guests departed for their homes wishing Mrs. Mal- lery much success and happiness in her married life. CHURCH SERVICES | St. Paul’s Reformed Church St. Paul’s Reformed Church, R.

Miss Ce- celia D’Amico presented the next number it being two vocal solos, which were very well rendered by a child of but six years of age, her numbers being “That Tumbled Down Shack in Athlone,” and “That Precious Little Thing Called Love.” Miss Palma and Frank Lucente rendered very capably a very diffi- cult duet on the piano for the next number. The next number was a piano solo by Miss Helen Breig, which was very excellently render- ed. The closing number on the pro- gram was presented by the “Dahl Sisters,” Misses Evelyn and Veron- ica Dahl. Miss Veronica Dahl ac- companied by her sister sang very charmingly “Dream Train,” and they received a round of applause. The next event on the program was speeches which were made by the Revs. Father Cocoran, of Lilly, Pa., Father Florence McCarty, of Bakerton, Pa., Rev. Howard Miller, of West Salisbury, Pa., and Rev. the fine qualities which Very Rev. Father J. J. Brady possessed. The next move, made by Joseph F.

Brady one that he would long re- Philip and James Church, the citi- zens of Meyersdale and surround- ing communities, the handsome sum of $1808.25 was presented to Very Rev. John J. Brady. To say that he was surprised would be putting it mildly, because he was so entirely overcome that he spoke but a few words. Miss Mary Clark very pleasingly made a presentation speech to Very Rev. J. J. Brady in behalf of the Sunday School chil- dren, at which time she presented him with a beautiful basket of roses a gift of the Sunday School Classes. Another beautiful gift presented to Father Brady was a picture which was mounted with 25 Silver Dollars which were placed so as to form the figures 25. At the conclusion of the program the audience arose and sang “The Star Spangled Banner,” after which the Very Rev. J. J. Brady pronounced Benediction. On Monday evening a card party and social was held in honor of Father Brady at Reich’s Auditorium at which nearly 300 people were in attendance. “500” and Bingo were the games in play for the evening, with vaudeville and musical number which were presented between inter- mission from card and Bingo play- ing.
