Notes from a Maryland Garden 
May has given us a few days of bright 
sunshine, but the nights still get cool, and 
intense drought has checked growth a 
great, deal. The eggplants and peppers 
should be out in the garden, but since the 
soil is hut dust, I have thought them bet¬ 
ter off in the pots in the greenhouse. 
They will r;o into the plot where the 
Spring crop of spinach grew. The spin¬ 
ach ran to seed and has been turned tin¬ 
der. The Longfellow peas climbing on 
the garden fence will soon he ready for 
the table, and not a great way behind 
the early varieties, which were far later 
than usual. 
Our strawberry growers are happy over 
the prices they are getting at the. stations 
for berries. No berry shipping is done 
at our city station ; the main trade noni¬ 
us is at a station three miles from town. 
There the berries are sold at auction as 
fast as the wagons drive up, and the 
grower gets his check and goes straight 
to the hank and gets his money. Last 
week the prices ran from $9 to 811 a 
crate of 32 quarts. By the cud of the 
week the berries were sold by the grocers 
at retail for 25c a quart box. 
The early Irish potatoes that usually 
start from down about the cud of the 
peninsula at Cape Charles about the first 
of .Tune, promise to be much later tlii> 
season, as the crop lias been damaged and 
held back by the late frosts. There lias 
been a tremendous area planted in Vir¬ 
ginia, while here the area in early Irish 
potatoes is small. Our potato crop is 
the sweet potato crop. Of this crop the 
area here this season will be even larger 
than that of last year. Last year an 
unusually large area was planted, and 
was uniformly profitable, and hence a still 
further area will he planted. One grower 
who is in the habit of bedding only for 
his own crop, told me that he has been 
hard pressed to get this crop planted by 
reason of people begging for plants. He 
said that lie could easily have sold 50.000 
more than he grew if lie had let people 
have them, as there seemed to he a short¬ 
age of plants. But riding -around in the 
country one sees a great many beds from 
which fields have 'been planted, which are 
still green with the sprouts. 
Cucumbers and melons are very late, 
and the early garden corn, which should 
be about tasseling now. is not over a 
foot high, and the second planting is only 
fairly up and a hand high, for with dry 
weather and the thermometer showing 55 
to 58 at night no one can hear the corn 
grow. But the early tomato plants are 
setting their crown bunches of fruit and 
seem simply waiting for the rain to swell 
out the tomatoes and help the plants get 
up the stakes. The people in the North 
will have to go down in their pockets for 
money to buy new potatoes, for with old 
potatoes retailing here for 81 per peck, 
the price of the new crop is likely to be 
very stiff. But whatever it is. the grow¬ 
ers will not make the price. They always 
have to take what is offered, and if any 
profiteering is done, it is done by those 
who handle them after the farmer sells. 
And yet people seem to think that it is 
the farmer who sets the big prices.

Clover Seed in Dyestuffs 
Farmers often ay that clover seed 
which they purchase is often adulterated 
with seed which has been used in a pro¬ 
cess for manufacturing dyestuffs. Is it 
true that clover seed is used in this way 
by putting it through a process in which 
the dye material is extracted, and if so, 
what is the process? What kind of seed 
is used, and does the process injure the 
germination? k. j\ r. 
Michigan. 
Bed clover and certain varieties of red 
kidney beau are used in the dyeing in¬ 
dustry. The Oneida Community Com- 
pauy uses large quantities of these red 
kidney beans in their manufacturing 
processes. I cannot tell you definitely 
whether the product extracted is a true 
dye or a mordant; that is. something used 
to fix the dye. 1 have never known of a 
case where seeds used for this purpose 
were ever again placed on sale as seeds. 
It is my impression that they are ren¬ 
dered useless for any purpose after being 
used in this manner. Certainly I do not 
believe that clover seed would be of any 
use afterwards, and. iu fact, would be 
easily recognized if used as au adulterant 
o! common seed. It is quite certain that 
any form of extraction would seriously 
injure the germ. m. t. munn. 
A Check-Rein on 
your Tractor 
Why 
How 
can be put 
the full powei of the tractor 
to work by scientific lubrication 
Y OU can’t do your best work in un¬ 
comfortable clothes. Your horses can’t 
in ill-fitting harness. Their harness must 
leave them free to put their whole strength 
to their work. 
Why let friction be a check-rem on your 
tractor ? Excessive friction reduces power, 
increases the costs for fuel and oil, and wears 
out your tractor before its time. 
Scientific lubrication eliminates excessive 
friction. The moving parts slide past each 
other easily. More power goes to the driv¬ 
ing wheels or belt pulley, where it can do 
useful work. 
The correct oil for your tractor is an oil not only 
of the highest quality but also of the correct body 
to suit the operating conditions of your engine. 
There is a grade of Gargoyle Mobiloils that will 
meet with scientific exactness the lubricating re¬ 
quirements of your tractor. 
Gargoyle Mobiloils have been proven right under 
severe tests. Why not get the increased power 
and increased fuel and oil economy that scientific 
lubrication will bring? The red Gargoyle signs 
show where you can get the correct grade of Gar¬ 
goyle Mobiloils for your tractor. ' 
Mobiloils 
i grade for each type of motor 
la buying Gargoyle .Mobiloils from your dealer, it is safer to purchase 
in original packages. Look for the red Gargoyle on the container.
