HOME GARDENS AND ROTATIONS
Rotation Of Crops Advocated For I'm
DrOyement Of SOiT Fertility.

In his work with the various Coun-
n ty Demonstration Agents, I'll B. Shaw
Specialist i'm Horticultural Extension,
has had an excellent opportunity to
make AM careful study Of home gard
ems. In u recent article ON this sub
ject, Mr.. Shaw says: The advantages
of having "A garden from which an
abundance or fruits and vegetables
can be had are welI-known. In some
instances, however, the land used in
the production OF these crops does not
! yield as abundantly as it might If the
garden was planned 10 that every
part would d. growing some crop
each month in the year. To bring
about this condition it il necessary,
v 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 practice IA system OF crop rOta-
ton.
Sometimes fruit trees, shrubbery
OH flowers are planted promiscuously
throughout the garden. This prac-
difficult I'd pillow, harrow and cultivate
around trees and shrubbery without
injuring them to some extent.
VIM
amount Oh food products and income
that can be derived from the syste-
matte planting and cultivation of a
small area or 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 all
lowed to produce 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.
EA well-planned rotation Of garden
crops brings about this same result,
and in addition accOmplisheS two
other purposes. Tit affords greater
amount of food supplies for longer
period of time, and, to certain ex-
tent, ii aids ln the control or certain
insect and disease pests.
80 a rule, most insects and dis
eases attacking garden crops can b.
controlled by the application of suit
able poiSOnS and chemicals in the
form OH spray materials However,
some Of these troubles, particularly
those diseases occurring in the soil, are
hard To combat in this way Rotation
often proves the only remedy in in
stances of this kind, hence the ad-
vantage OF having Well-planned
system Of growing the different crops.
Insects and diseases thriving on
plants belonging to "a certain family
or class Of plants will often find the
nlanfa of a diffnrnnf family nnfirnlv
unsuited It'd their use. For instance,
beets, parsnips and turnips are sell
dom 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 ef-
fectiYe means cf control for various
garden troubles"

During the closing hours of the
special session of the legislature, Sen
ator DeBusk of Trinidad. the man
who placed Julius C. Gunter in NOM
ination for governor. on the floor of
the Senate, said the present governor
went into office under the most fav-
orable circumstances, but he will go
out the most discredited man who
tion. This remark came because Gov
ernor Gunter was demanding bill for
a state police as he could preserve
law and order in Colorado. In marked
contrast to the language of DeBusk
was that of Senator Fincher of Breck-
enridge, who was, in fact. the majority
leader of this session and who. by ex-
ceptionaily brilliant work. won the
Governors platform. Senator F'incher
arose, as DeBusk sat down, and said:

can members of this body for their

loyalty in an emergency. Facing

regret exceedingly that members of
my own party have seen fit to play
petty politics and give more heed to
promises OF future political reward,
than they have to the Soice of their
