Grow Quality Vegetables
The Home garden demonstrations
conducted this year by agricultural
extension workers have proved the
excellence of several new vegetable
varieties, Many commonly grown
varieties have again demonstrated
their value. Lists of recommended
vegetables can be obtained from
your county agent before it is time
to order seeds.

Protect Bees from Cold
Packing of bees in the colder sec-
tions of the state helps them to
pass the winter successfully. Colo-
nies often starve during a severe
winter when they are unable to
move to a supply of honey located
on the opposite side of the hive.
Packed colonies are able to make
this movement.

Vegetables will always bring you

One hundred and twenty women
in Lancaster County have answered
a questionnaire sent out to them on
the vegetables grown this year, the
vegetables canned this year, and
vegetables which can be purchased
fresh at the store in their commun-
ity.
An inexpensive barrel pit makes
an ideal place to store cabbage,
beets, parsnips, rutabagas, salsify,
and winter radishes, according to
the County Agent Bucher.
Placed in a horizontal position in
the side of a bank or ina well
drained location, the barrel can be
covered with a layer of soil, Mr.
Bucher says. The barrel head makes
a convenient door. As soon as the
vegetables are put inside, the bar-
rel head is put in place and the en-
tire pit covered with straw or leav-
es. As the weather becomes colder,
additional layers of soil and of
straw or leaves may be added.

pit are easily accessible at any C it S
time during the winter. The soil an ee
covering will give the protection
against freezing weather and hold
sufficient moisture to prevent the
vegetables from wilting or shriv-
eling.
Another place where the cabbage
and root crops may be stored is a
cool cellar with a dirt floor, Mr.
Bucher suggests. As a rule, bins
should not be more than four feet
square and high. Root crops are
often placed in old milk cans, or
similar containers, with a layer of
sand or light soil in the bottom

By The Lancaster
Automobile Club
That familiar line—“Do Your
Christmas Shopping ! Early”—mightt
well be extended to include 1933 li-
cense tags, the Lancaster Automo-
bile Club suggests and advises car
owners to apply for registration as
early as possible and thus avoid
last minute rush and delays. The
new tags may be used beginning
December 15, and on and after
January 1 display of 1933 plates is
mandatory.
“Motorists will save themselves
considerable inconvenience and an-
noyance by avoiding the last min-
ute rush for tags,” said S. Edward
Gable, president of the Automobile
Club, “Many Lancaster countians
already have received their new li-
cense plates, but the large major-
ity are inclined to wait until the
last few weeks. In times like these
many are forced to do so because
of finances, but those who can
spare the funds will be helping
both themselves and the Bureau of]
Motor Vehicles by sending in ap-
plications early.”
In connection with obtaining new
cards and tags, Mr. Gable suggest-
ed that car owners put away their
1932 registration cards at the end
of the year, and not destroy them.
It is much easier to get a duplicate
if you have one of the old cards,
he explained, for that bears all the
data necessary in filling out the
form for application for re-issue
of cards when lost.
“The Automobile . Club has a
special bureau at Harrisburg that
handles license cases,” Mr. Gable
stated, “and this serves hundreds
of members of the Club at this
time when motor difficulties arise.
