INVESTIGATION ON
SOUTHERN FARMS
Farmer Should Have Garden for
Production of Vegetables.
NECESSARY TO HAVE HOTBED
Suitable contrlvanco May Be Con-
otructed cheapIy by Digging Hole
Two Feet Deep and Lining In
aide With Boards.
(By G. H. ALFORD)


Every farmer should have a good
home garden. The sole object of this
garden should be the production of
vegetables for family use, and thereby
materially reduce the grocery bill. If
more Is produced than Is required in
the homo for use in tho fresh. state,
and for canning, the surplus can be
easily sold to the neighbors or near
by grocery stores.
TO properly and successfully run q
garden 1t Is practically necessity to
possess hotbed. This may be con.
structed cheaply by digging hole Is
inches or two feet deep by IL feet,
lining the inside Of this with boards,
and running the north side ten inches
above the ground and the south sido
only four. This gives slant towards
the south, furnishing protection from
the north. About foot Of fairly good
horse manure should be allowed to
ferment and be plSsed in this bed,
arrangements being made to secure
drainage at the bottom. Over the
manure from four to six inches Of
good garden soil should be put, and
the bed may be covered with canvas
or glass as desired. In this the cab.
bage and the tomato and the like
plants may be raised for setting In
the garden. After the heat Is gone
from the bed 1t becomes a cold frame
and may be used at odd times for the
growing Of radishes, lettuce and other
crops which do not need bottom heat.
The garden itself should be we'll
plowed early in the spring and have
as much manure as possible turned
under. Such crops as peas, cabbage,
beets, onions and other cold resistant
plants should be planted as soon as
possible. When all danger from late
frosts is over, tomatoes, peppers, egg
plant, and 80 forth, can be set out +;
beans, okra and all frost-tender plants
should also then be planted. For the
smaller growing types, such as tur-
nips, carrots, lettuce, spinach and like
plants tho rows need not be more than
n foot or IS inches apart. For cab.
bage. collards and SO forth, the rows
should be two feet apart and the
plants two feet in the rows.
Tomatoes and the larger growing
vegetables should be set from three
to four feet each way. Peas can be
planted In rows eight inches apart and
three feet allowed between each pair
Of rows. The cultivation in the mar
row middle can be done with a hand
cultivator. If the garden Is large and
the rows put wider apart, ordinary
horse cultiyator with many small
teeth may be advantageously used.
The ground should be kept we'll and
thoroughly mulched on top after hav.
ing been prepared deeply. The weeds
should be removed from between the
rows and plants, and where possible
q succession Of crops should be ar
ranged for, so that the garden will
furnish various and sundry vege-
tables all through the season. For
instance, short row Of radishes
should be planted, and week or ten
days after another short row should
be put in. Where tomato plants are
we'll looked after and sprayed toma.
