SOME ESSENTIALS
FOR GARDEN WORK
Windbreak Should Be Planted
in May-0o Not Plow Too
Early in the Spring.
fBy MRS, JOHN FIELDJ

Let the rows run north and south;
this gives the most sun exposure.
Two essentials are necessary for
the rapid maturing OF vegetables: a
soil made light with sand and we'll.
rotted manure. aad a windbreak.
Plant your windbreak in May, and
a hemlock hedge is the thing.
Plan to plant crops that live from
year to year. like asparagus. rhubarb,
strawberries and the like, at one end,
so that they will not interfere when
you cultivate the annual vegetables.
Root crops should be planted to.
gether. as well as vine crops. such as
cucumbers. melons. ETC.; also toma.
toes, peppers. eggplants and the like.
Never plant melons near squashes or
pumpkins.
Do not plow too early in the spring.
Wait until the ground is dry. Follow
with the harrow until the soil is finely
pulverized.
Use wood ashes for potatoes. The
potato relishes the potash contained in
them and the scab does not like the
lime they contain.
Give your garden crops just the fer
tilizer they prefer. Remember that
plants that furnish US with edible
leaves or stalks flourish ii given nitro.

All outside doors are made in
halves, one above the other. SO the
upper half may be left open In sum

for warmth in winter. This is not so
important in the horse stable end OF
the barn. but to get the best results
from the dairy cows they must be
kept warm and comfortable. Cows In

way as to produce as much milk in
winter as in summer. but II requires

the sun shines brightly. Too much
heat will make the plants weak and
spindly.
By all means have an animal-proof
fence inclosing the garden and self
closing gate.
Although flowers cannot be eaten,
they. too, have a mission. SO plant
them among the vegetables. The wife,
will appreciate them.
The asparagus is a ''glutton." Give
1t lots OF rich food and it will repay
you.
Get the brush for the peas and poles

CROSS-COUNTRYR RUN
DATES SET BY A. A. U.
Metropolitan Junior Event to
Be on Nov. 20 and Senior
Contest Dec. 4.
FUTURE RACES IN SPRING

At a joint meeting OF the Junior and
senior c~ross-country committees Of the
Metropolitan Association a. A. U. at
A. A. U. headquarters last night 1t was
decided to hold the Junior hill and dale
race on November 90 and tho senior race
on December 4. Both title events will
DO run over the Van Cortlardt Park
course.
There was some talk OF holding one
of these cross-country races at Prospect
Park, Brooklyn. again this year.. but
several clubs protested against II, as
nearly all of the clubs that will enter
teams are from either Manhattan or
The Bronx. Another reason for deciding
against Prospect Park was that some OF
the runners considered the course dan
gerous.
The committee decided to hold the
junior and senior races in the spring
next year, IA the two national cross
country event. always are held In the
fall. which in the past has necessitated
athletes competing In these races to be
away from their employment for foul
Saturdays in a row The n also
complained h a II was too much of a
tax on their strength to run four hard
championship races inside Of !'our weeks.
