SOW turnips or spinach, prepare the
land as soon as the potatoes are har-
vested, but walt till later in August
or early in September to SOW. II tho
land is strong you might plant snap
beans or cowpeas and have time
enough for crop OF beans or peas,
as you prefer to plant, them plant
the same land in turnips or spinach.
This is good way to garden inten-
sively.
It Is far better to plant the land
in some other vegetable as soon as
the one occupying It is used, for in
keeping the land occupied with a
crop you keep weeds from making
a growth and prevent the land from
getting hard and losing moisture. II
is easier to keep the garden from
producing weeds when every square
foot OF land is planted In CROP
than when there are vacant places.
No one likes to cut weeds In vacant
spaces where there are no yegeta-
bles to cultivate.
Chickens hatched this late may
be raised, provided. pains are taken
with them. There should be plenty
of shade in the poultry yards; the
houses should be kept cool. aerated
and clean. Green food should be sup
