Experiments indicate that potatoes

A large proportion of farmers have
but very inadequateidea of the value
of good home garden, and 80 it is per-
sistently neglected. To very many
farmers, the garden work seems small
and petty-they are used to larger
fields and more extensive crops. Yet
it may be safely stated that well,
planned and well kept garden far out
strips in actual profit any other feature
of the farm. We do not mean that it
brings in large cash returns-its divi-
dends are in the nature of improved
health, of much relief from the burden
of housewifely cares on the farm and
in it's tendency to make home pleasant
to all concerned.
