HOME GARDENS
AND ROTATIONS
ROTATION OF CROPS ADVOCATED
\ FOR IMPROVEMENT OF
SOIL FERTILITY.
SYSTEMATIC PLANTING PLANS
LARGE Amount OF Food Products May
Be Had From a Small
Area Of Land.

College Park, Feb. 15.-In his work
with the various County Demonstra-
tion Agents, s. B. Shaw, Specialist in
Horticultural Extension, has had an
excellent opportunity to make care
full study of home gardens. In a
recent article on this subject, Mr..
Shaw says: 1.-THE advantages of hav-
ing garden from which an abundance
Of fruits and vegetables can be had
are well-known. In some instances,
however, the land used in the produc-
ton of these crops does not yield as
abundantly as it might If the garden
was planned so that every part would
be growing some crop each month in
the year. To bring about this condi-
tion it is necessary, first to lay out
the garden in such a way that the
greatest amount of work can be done
in the shortest time, and then prac-
tice system of crop rotation.
Sometimes fruit trees, shrubbery
or flowers are planted promiscuously
throughout the garden. This practice
has its disadvantages, in that it is diff
ficult to plow, harrow and cultivate
around trees and shrubbery without
anjuring them to some extent.
"Few people realize the large
amount Of food products and income
hat can be derived from the syste-
pmatic planting and cultivation of a
small area of land, when devoted to
the growing of garden crops. Too
often the planting ceases with the first
crops sown, and when these have
matured, the fertile soil is either al
lowed to produce a magnificent crop
Of weeds, or else remains idle until
the following season.
"The systematic rotation of farm
crops have been advocated for num-
Der Of years, the principal end in view
being an Improvement of soil fertility
A well-planned rotation Of garden
crops brings about this same result
and in addition accomplishes two
other purposes. It affords a greater
amount of food supplies for longer
period of time, and. to a certain ex
tent, it aids in the control Of certain
insect and disease pests.
"As a rule, most insects and dis
seases attacking garden crops can be
controlled by the application of suit
able poisons and chemicals in the form
of spray materials However, some
of these troubles, particularly those
diseases occurring in the soil, are hard
to combat in this way. Rotation Otter
proves the only remedy in instances
of this kind, hence the advantage Of
having a well-planned system of grow
ing the different crops.
insects and diseases thriving on
plants belonging to certain family OIL
class Of plants will often find the
plants of different family entirely
unsuited to their use, For instance
beets, parsnips and turnips are seldom
affected with the same troubles that
prove destructive to cucumbers
cantaloupes and watermelons, and vice
versa. Here, too, a carefully planned
rotation often proves an effective
