SUGGESTIONSF FOR
WINTER GARDENS

MI. leo, rye, one OF Ile cOun-
| tyagricultural agents for Pulaski
county, was for many years a
very successful market gardener
one of the all the year garden
ers, and in a recent interview he
offered the following suggestions:
As fast as spring and summer
crops are removed, all weeds and
trash should be gathered and
burned, including those in fence
corners and turn rows" so as
to destroy thousands of insects
which are so numerous at this
time Of the year. Well rotted
barnyard manure should be
spread literally over the ground
and carefully turned under, and
for crops to be planted in August,
September and October the land
should be turned and narrowed
several times before planting so
as to have moisture for germina-
ting seed and so make a well pre-
pared seed bed.
In central and southern Arkan.
sas the following crops may be
planted: Beans-Valentine and
Stringless Green Pod, planted
from July l ) to August Is. Some
times Kentucky Wonder pol
beans and small white Lima or
Seiva beans will do well in July.
Early Blood Turnip and
Early Eclipse may make a good
crop planted not later than Aug.
1. Carrots Early varieties may
be planted in August. Dwarf
German Kale should be planted,
one sowing in July and another
between August Is and %, Tur-
-11Tps-F1TDle Top Glo5e AM d
White Egg, first sowing Aug. 10
and second sowing September Is.
Purple Top Rutabaga Turnips
should be planted in drills July
10 to August 10, and to do well
must be cultivated Sometimes
early peas such as First and Best
planted in August or September,
make a good fall crop. When we
have a late season, the early vari.
ETY. cabbage will mature if plan.
ted in drills in August Al this
time of the year always sow
where they are to grow and do
not transplant. Spinach-Bl Bloom

Early Turnip rooted and White
Icicle should be planted every
