Varieties of Vegetables 
Conditions Involved. —One of the 
very first considerations in connection 
with the growing of truck crops is the 
question of variety. There are of course 
many other things worthy of considera¬ 
tion. but I believe success or failure in 
trucking hinges more particularly on the 
selection of the variety best suited to ones 
needs than on any other one thing. To 
find just what variety is best for our 
own needs is sometimes a long and costly 
performance. A great many costly mis¬ 
takes are made. Then too one must keep 
trying the newer varieties as they come 
along to see wherein they are superior 
nr inferior to those already being grown. 
It all costs, and the last word is never 
said, for new varieties are coming all the 
time, and conditions are changing; how¬ 
ever it may he of some help to someone to 
mention the varieties we have tested out 
and now consider the best for our pur¬ 
pose. 
Asparagus.—French Argenteuil, be¬ 
cause of its large size and ability to re¬ 
sist rust. Reading Giant is being tested 
and looks promising, but it will require 
another year or two to state positively 
just how it will compare with Argen¬ 
teuil. 
Tomatoes.—Spark’s Earliana exclusive 
ly for the early crop. (This tomato was 
originated in this section). Bonny Best 
for second early and can crop. John 
Baer may be a strong competitor of 
Bonny Best, but it is too soon to say posi¬ 
tively. 
Sweet Potatoes.—Yellow Jerseys ex¬ 
clusively for high ground. Red Jerseys 
for low ground where yellow potatoes 
mottle or turn dark. 
Peppers.—Ruby King is the best early 
sweet pepper we have found for market. 
Hot Bull Nose is earlier but does not 
sell well later in the season. Will try 
Giant Neapolitan in a small way this 
season. 
Onions.—Yellow Danvers grown from 
sets. Crop is harvested early in July. 
White Potatoes.—Cobblers for the 
early crop, and Iloosiers for the late crop 
planted July 1st to 10th. 
Cantaloupes.—Fordhook. With us it 
is the best cropper and best seller and is 
really fit to eat. Best either for home use 
or market. 
Watermelons.—Tom Watson for dis¬ 
tant shipping and Kleckley Sweet for 
home use and home market. 
Cabbage.—Early Jersey Wakefield for 
early and Flat Dutch for later. Our soil 
is too light for Danish Ball-head. Copen¬ 
hagen Market looks promising for an 
early cabbage but seed must be sown in 
the Spring. Plants should not be win¬ 
tered over. 
Squash.—White Patty-Pan for early. 
It comes early and sells fairly well until 
the markets get supplied with eggplant. 
Boston Marrow for late. It keeps well, 
crops well and our local market is pre¬ 
judiced in its favor. 
Cucumber.—London Long Green. The 
vines resist blight to some extent and the 
cucumbers will remain green longer than 
•tome other varieties. It sells well and 
makes a crop. 
Peas.—Alaska for the early market and 
Gradus for second early and home use. 
Wax Beans.—Early Refugee. It crops 
well, comes very early and being a green 
podded bean sells better than the yellow 
beans. 
Beets.—Crosby’s Egyptian for early 
crop. We grow no late beets. 
i urnips.—Yellow Globe for local mar¬ 
ket and Purple Top in clover for the cat¬ 
tle. 
Sugar Corn.—S to well’s Evergreen for 
main season. No early corn is grown. 
M ith most of the vegetables I have 
named we are very careful to select and 
save enough seed for our own use each 
year. M e consider it a misfortune to 
have to go to unknown parties for seed 
of asparagus, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, 
•‘SSplants, peppers, sugar corn, squashes, 
cucumbers or watermelons. These can 
'il be saved at home, and they can all 
greatly improved by a little care in 
> Lotion. This has been proved over and 
ooi again. By saving our own seed we 
not. only know that we have the proper 
\ariety but we can select to the type 
'hat suits us best and continually make 
improvement.

As Your Car Grows Old, Keep It Tuned Up 
Retain its smoothness, its quietness and comfort. Retain its quick response, 
its effective power—its dependability. You bought it for these qualities—keep 
them in the car as it grows old in your service. 
1 une up your motor, adjust the carburetor forweather and varying qualities 
of gasoline. Adjust the steering gear. Adjust the brakes. 
A?id don t forget to adjust the bearings. For all bearings wear same as other 
moving parts and need adjustment if you are to keep the full power and effb 
ciency of your car. 
Inside Knowledge that will Help You 
If wear occurs, leaving 
slight space between cup 
and roller, adjustments can 
be made by moving the cup 
or cone in the direction of 
the arrows . 
As 1-2 and 3-4 always 
remain exactly parallel, the 
adjustment brings the dif¬ 
ferent surfaces into perfect 
line-contact , and no prin¬ 
ciple of the bearing's 
efficiency is impaired. 
W HEEL bearings must turn easily of course—to 
eliminate friction. But they must fit snugly too 
—to prevent wheels from wobbling. 
As bearings wear—all bearings do—they get loose. 
A little looseness allows the pound that makes faster 
and faster wear—more and more looseness. 
Bearings on shafts that support gears—transmission, 
driving and differential gears—when they wear (as a'l 
bearings do) allow the shafts to drop slightly out of 
line. The gears on those shafts get slightly out of cor¬ 
rect mesh. Imperfectly meshed gears make noise and 
waste some of the power. 
The trouble goes on at an increasing rate unless 
promptly checked by adjusting a type of bearing that 
can take up looseness when it develops. 
Use of steels best adapted for bearings, extreme 
accuracy of manufacture, strict following of heat-treat¬ 
ment formulas developed by years devoted to concen- 
t rated study of bearings alone these are producing bear¬ 
ing parts that have wonderful wear-resisting qualities. 
And yet bearings—all bearings—do wear. 
The Timken Roller Bearing is the one type of bearing that can be 
adjusted to completely eliminate the effects of its slight wear. 
TheTitnken Roller Bearing carries the load and resists the shocks 
along the lines of its rollers instead of on the points of balls; its tapered 
construction enables it to meet side pressure and shocks in addition to 
direct load; its line contact distributes pressure and hence minimises 
weal these are three great principle! that are kept in constant operation for 
your benefit by the fourth great principle of adjustability . 
You can see how important it is to have adjustable bearings in your 
car if you are to retain its effectiveness as a power vehicle—as it grows 
old in your service. 
Other interesting facts about bearings are told 
in the Timken Primer No. F-33 “On the Care and 
Character of Bearings’’ which, with a list of the Cars 
using Timken Bearings, will be sent free, postpaid 
on request.

W HY let birds cat the grain you have planted? 
Birds eating the grain means the loss of thou¬ 
sands and thousands of dollars every year. By 
simply treating your seed with CORBIN you can mako 
the birds pass by your fields—do away with this loss. 
In Europe more than 2,500,000 quarts of CORBIN are 
used every year. Tue Royal Institution of Hohenheim 
for the Protection of Plants, reports: "The Corbin com¬ 
pletely killed the smut and at the same time proved most 
effective against the attack of birds.” CORBIN is non- 
poisonous, easily applied, prevents decay of seed in over- 
moist soil. 
Would You Give 10c an Acre to 
Protect Your Corn and Grain? 
It only costs 10 cts an acre to protect 
’»your corn—a little more for smaller 
grain. Moisten your seed with 
CORBIN and you not only 
protect your seed from 
birds and mice, but you, 
prevent stinking smut. 
Send SI for a quart 
can of Corbin. Money 
back if not satisfied.
