A dry fall often furnishes the best time

this article is on the increase among those

OF four or five feet at a single digging.
Oientimes ditching, for the sake OF surface

Is better to dry the ears, especially
OF sweet corn. by artificial heat,

are apt to be left until rotten or irozsn.
The tomatoes need to be washed out. and

drying, labelling, and dating the beat seed

seeds are better for keeping, especially
those OF melons, squashes and cucumbers.
Those that are useless should be carefully
burned. Sort the seed box every year.
Carefully label and date every package.
