The Farmers Vegetable Garden

II has been ascertained that from
twenty TO twenty-five per cent of all
canned vegetables and fruits sold in
America are consumed on the farm. In
other words, farmers as class do not
raise sufficient vegetables to supply
their needs, but steadily patronize the
canned goods market. This state of
affairs speaks badly for the American
farmer and something should be done
to change this condition. The COM
farm and very little attention and care
is needed to produce an abundant sup
ply throughout the year.
The old style garden of raised beds
practices. A farmers garden should
be portion of the regular field and
so arranged that the farmer in cult
waiting his crop can also cultivate his
by having the rows long, the whole
length Of the field, and planting far
enough apart 10 permit the use OF
horse cultivator. BY such arrange
ment the farmer in cultivating his
farm crops can at the same time cul-
tivate his garden.
He should, first of all, aim to pro
duce the hardy vegetables such as
peas. onions. cabbage, cauliflowers.
beets, string beans, lettuce, carrots,
parsnips and even celery. These all
are adapted to almost every section of
the country and are easily grown and
the farmers table need not be without
the supply of fresh vegetables.
A great mistake is made in sowing
the garden seeds too early Nothing
is gained by getting the seed in the
ground with the first advent of warm
weather In many instances the seed
will not come up, but decay in the
ground, or if they come up they are
stunted because of the cold nights and
cold spells which generally occur dur
ing the spring season. 1t is always
advisable TO wait until settled weather
comes on This means that for Colo
rada and the eastern slope the more
tender vegetables should not BE- plant
ed before the tenth or 18th of May
and for melons. cucumber. and eZ-
tr=uaIy tender varieties. The 20th OF
MAJ is early enough For the best sue
cess in vegetable growing. cultivation
/ is the most important consideration.
In irrigating. use large quantities Of
water at long intervals and as soon as
the ground is dry enough to work.
cultivate. With thorough cultivation
one-half of the usual amount of water
applied to the garden can be eliminat-
ed and better results obtained. If pos
sible. land intended for garden pur-
poses should be plowed in the autumn
to depth OF 10 to u inches and then
shallow blowing should be given in
the spring. followed by frequent sur
face cultivation after crop is up.-E
