WHAT IS HOME WITHOUT A GARDEN? TULIP TIME AGAIN When the tulips unfold their magic color in spring, one can take a justifiable satisfaction in having been responsible for their inclusion in the fall planting. On the Pacific coast in the milder sections those varieties of tulips which are most successfully grown are the late ones known as the Darwin, Breeder and Mayflowering or Cottage tulips. The Darwin and Breeder types are very much alike, except that the Darwins are generally of self colors, while the Breeders include buff and bronze fones. The Cottage tulips include yellow, and the pointed petal tips make them distinguishable. In localities where the ground frosts during the winter months, the top growth of tulip is wisely retarded by nature, giving the bulbs an opportunity to produce a good root system. In warmer climates, deep planting will substitute for ground freezing, for by placing the bulb far enough below the surface, it is kept cool and the growth of the sprout will be retarded, thus giving the bulbs sufficient time to develop an adequate root system. Tulip planting season begins in October in any climate. In preparing the soil for tulips, follow the ordinary unforgettable picture of beauty. There is no doubt that the displays of wildflowers in the West are one of the great attractions. What might be termed regular "pilgrimages" are made to these fields during their blooming. They are so thrilling a sight that it is small wonder they are eagerly, nay, avarciously picked by the sightseers. This is unfortunate, for by this destruction, the wildflowers are rapidly becoming extinct. To so alarming an extent has the destruction gone on, that women's clubs, horticultural societies and civic groups are making vigorous appeals to all public spirted citizens to assist in preserving and maintaining the natural beauty of the West. You can exhibit your civic pride by assisting in this reconstruction work, scattering a few wildflower seeds as you go. During the fall and winter months seeds of the various wildflowers may be broadcast on the hills, and in the valleys and vacant lots, along the roadsides, etc. The winter rains or snows will provide moisture to germinate the seeds and start the plants well on their way. The great variety of wildflowers which may be used for this purpose are too numerous to mention here, but they are usually available as a wildflower mixture. They easily adapt themselves All nine of these men potential candidates. Only have expressed openly and to running for President Traylor, and practically their attitude seriously. Will probably rest in history only man who refused them he could have had it. If a nine men is chosen to run be classed as a dark horse all regular entries. Mr. Roosevelt is clearly contender at the present wiseacres admit, although that he has shot his bolt having the spotlight center so powerfully and long, actual campaigning. He to public ownership of pu although not in a radica probably favor the wets, is known as a fearless abber man. In addition he carries of an honored name. His m is that Tammy helped eerror of his state and his m is that he has dared to wishes of the Union Square. Newton D. Baker, who pedaling on his boom for tion, is easily the most p to Roosevelt. If he wou openly and campaign there how strong he would grow can Legion is strongly fort of his support of the A time when the politicians to run the war instead o general staff do it. He has of accomplishment without to mar his slate. If he will candidacy, politicians agree pass Roosevelt as the lead garden rules except that no animal manure should be used at the time of planting. Deep spading and thorough pulverizing are necessary. The spading in of humus-producing materials, such as leaves, straw, weeds, etc., is very beneficial, and should be applied in advance of planting so that it will have sufficient time to decay. Humus, which is decomposing organic matter, plays an important part in the soil for any crop, and should be added regularly and continuously. A little hydrated lime thoroughly mixed with the soil will correct any acid condition that may be present. To make a tulip bed, after selecting the place in which they are to be planted, dig out the soil to a depth of several inches below where the bulbs will rest. Loosen the subsolil, and if convenient, mix sand with the lower soil to provide drainage. Replace the soil in the bottom of the excavation and mix five pounds of bonemeal for every twenty-five square feet. Now place the bulbs, surrounding each bulb with sand (not beach sand) and replace the soil, and the planting is completed. In heavy soil, artificial drainage is important, and the use of sand as mentioned above will give better results. The seed of Baby Blue Eyes or Nemophila is an excellent covering for any bulb bed. The seed should be sown on top of the bulb bed, about January first, covering with a light mulch of leaf mold, or decomposing barnyard fertilizer. The Nemophila will bloom at the same time as the tulips and makes a very dainty ground covering. COMMUNITY INTEREST IN WILD FLOWERS To anyone who has seen the wildflowers in bloom in the various sections of the western states, it is an too numerous to mention here, but they are usually available as a wildflower mixture. They easily adapt themselves to the various climatic conditions of the Pacific coast, giving a brilliant note of color to any landscape. A wildflower known to everyone, and most generally admired, is the Escholtzia. There are several varieties of Erscholtzia, the deep yellow, or the Aurantiaca (which is called the true California Poppy). The seeds of these germinate easily. When broadcast during the winter months their golden brightness will reward you in the early spring. Affairs of Week at Nation's Capital (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Jockeying for the honor of being named the Democratic nominee for President next summer has been under way now for several weeks. The situation resembles the start of a good horse race more than anything to which it can be compared. Those who have seen starters trying to line up the field in a big race will recall the number of false starts before the final rising of the barrier, and especially the number left at the post where the starter failed to measure up capably to his duties. In the convention next summer the main object of the whole party will be to see that none of the candidates is "left at the post," a condition that would tend to destroy party harmony in the canvass for votes later. At the present moment political observers here frankly assert there are at least nine candidates of major rank.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE HINTS FOR THE HOME BY NANCY HART With Strawberry Jam You can add interest to many a dessert with a jar of strawberry jam. Floating island, for instance. Fish out a strawberry, soft and sweet, from the jam to place in the center of each island. Rice pudding: put a spoon of strawberry jam on each serving of the pudding. Bread pudding: spread the pudding with strawberry jam, add a merinque, brown in the oven, and serve hot or cold. Cream cheese: make a delicious dessert of it by serving it with crisp crackers and strawberry jam. Any other sort of jam will do, of course, but strawberry seems to fit in so far as flavor is concerned with all these desserts. —you can gild fine gold and paint the lily by adding a dab of strawberry jam to each glass dessert dish of homemade vanilla ice cream. It's good. "Yum-yum," the children say about it. Fried Oysters Drain, clean and dry the oysters. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, dip in flour, egg and cracker or stale bread crumbs, and fry in deep fat. Drain on brown paper. Serve on a hot, folded napkin, garnish with parsley and lemon. Fried oysters should be served immediately. It is better not to begin frying until they are wanted than to delay serving. Rice Au Gratin 1-2 cup minced onion. 1 clove of garlic, minced 2-3 cup chopped green pepper (no seed) 2 cups canned tomatoes 3-4 cup rice 1 tablespoon minced parsley Newton D. Baker, who has been back medaling on his boom for the nomination, is easily the most powerful rival to Roosevelt. If he would come out openly and campaign there is no telling how strong he would grow. The American Legion is strongly for him because of his support of the A.E.F. at a time when the politicians were trying to run the war instead of letting the general staff do it. He has a long record of accomplishment without a single blot on mar his state. If he will announce his candidacy, politicians agree that he will pass Roosevelt as the leading candidate. "Al" Smith is generally considered the most popular man, personally, in the whole Democratic Party and will have a powerful voice when it comes to naming the next candidate. His chances are not considered great, the same causes that militated against his election in the last race being the ones used to frown on his being named the standard-bearer. His political record is one of the best ever established by any politician in the history of the country and he is known to be a man who gets things done. Governor Ritchie is popular in his own state and a fine candidate with whom to attract the women's vote. He is one of the most willing candidates but is classed as a possibility only in case of a deadlock. Ex-Governor Byrd across the Potomac from Ritchie, ranks about on even terms with his neighbor, except that he is stronger with the "Solid South." Owen D. Young passes all tests and his main handicap is that he is felt to tie up with Wall Street too strongly to be a popular candidate in agrarian districts. Melvin Traylor has all Young's good points and in addition is known to favor the "common people" in financial matters. His birth in Kentucky, early manhood in Texas and business career in Chicago will win him millions of votes, if chosen. Senator Lewis is another with a fine geographical background. Born in Virginia, a lumberyard worker in the State of Washington and Congressman from that State years ago, he is now an Illinois Senator. Added to that, he is sincerely admired by millions of voters of foreign blood whose various languages he speaks fluently. Last on the list is Senator Reed. He is a man of power, and his weakness is his refusal to abide strictly by party tenets. He belongs to the old school of speeblinders and is a most picturesque character. Students of the College of New York want a peace department established in the school. How would this affect the football team? Rice Au Gratin 1-2 cup minced onion. 1 clove of garlic, minced 2-3 cup chopped green pepper (no seed) 2 cups canned tomatoes 3-4 cup rice 1 tablespoon minced parsley 2 tablespoons butter 3-4 cup granted American cheese. Salt and pepper Wash rice and parboil in boiling salted water for 5 minutes, drain. Melt butter, add onion, garlic and green pepper and saute until tender without browning. Add tomatoes and when boiling stir in the parboiled rice and simmer until rice is tender, adding salt to taste when half done. Turn into buttered baking dish and cover top with cheese. Brown in moderate oven. Sprinkle with parsley and serve at once. Broiled Oysters Take two dozen large oysters, cleaned, drained and dried in a soft cloth. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Melt two ounces butter in a large frying pan, lay in one dozen, as soon as the last one is in, turn the first one and when all have been turned begin taking out; laying them closely on a large buttered oyster broiler; cook to a light brown over moderate fire. While these are browning the other dozen may be "set" in the butter. Have six rounds of toast on a hot platter; put four oysters on each, sprinkle on the butter in which they were stiffened and serve with lemon cut in eights. FARM HORSE COMES BACK The rural depression has done something to restore the horse to its former dignity and importance. It is reported from Montana and North Dakota that many farmers have been letting their tractors stand idle and using their horses to do the Fall plowing. They have little money to spend on oil and gas, what with a poor crop and low prices, but they do have their horses. A farmer can raise his own fuel to stoke a horse, but not to run a gasoline motor, and at present prices a farmer can better afford to feed his grain to horses than to turn in into gasoline.

The olive standardization measure was passed by the 1931 legislature to regulate the quality of canned olives. The act specified the size cans which packers may use and requires the number of olives and the size of the olives be specified on the labels. Belief that the new measure would prove beneficial to the grower and consumer alike was expressed by Director Dudley Moulton and S. S. Rogers, chief of the bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization. They stressed the importance of compliance with the act from the start of the packing season. Under the measure, the marking of "fancy" or "choice" grades on containers in which the olive will meet only the "seconds" grade is prohibited. Representatives of the state department of agriculture have discussed revisions of the act with managers of olive packing plants who are in accord with provisions of the act. Copies of the measure may be obtained from the department. A BARGAIN When Mr. Hoover suggested that Germany quit paying France and France quit paying America, the French generously accepted half of the proposition—Ashland (Ky.) Independent.
