Last year over $500 boys and girls
n were enrolled in the garden and can
I ming projects maintained by the Ex-
- tension Division of the University
Farm. For boys and girls in the
E. grade schools Of the town or country,
the garden is the best laboratory in
soil, crop, insect, plant disease, and
marketing study. A little help from
parents will stimulate the young
IVY folks to do this work and make them
important enough to be taken by any
Il one. When entertaining guests, what
can give child more pleasure than
to have the mother ask for jar of
carrots or tomatoes that he has grown
II. and canned? New life is put into the
~" garden work because something of
llo real value has been produced
ar The size of the garden depends up
re- on the number to be fed and the fer
an tility of the soil. In most cases all
=, the vegetables and some of the fruits
~ can be grown on half an acre. Nc
ry doubt garden 50x200 feet, we'll fer
he tilted, titled and planned so as to use
DIV every available square foot, will be
49,. large enough to supply the vegetables
for an average family of five persons.
1t is better to have small garden
his we'll titled than large garden full Of
St weeds. In a small garden most of
all the cultivation can be done with a
"a hand cultivator, for it is always ready
re while with horse cultivators, the work
we cannot be done at the right time. One
ar Of the important factors in the sue
lct cess of garden is to have all work
sh done at the right time and in the right
"a way.
The variety, amount of seed need
on ed, and notes regarding the time of
Ia planting, distance between rows and
on plants are given in tabular form be-
RS low. The time of planting is not ac
ed curate as one must use his best judg-
ge ment in this matter.
"a Several paintings, at ten day inter-
ly walls, should be made of radish, let
lis tuce, and sweet corn to provide sue
nd cession; a second planting of beets,
he carrots, turnips and rutabagas, in late
he July to provide young roots for win
RI ter use. Two or more paintings OF
al peas and string beans will provide
81 fresh supplies of their important
ut, crops.
st Nothing has been said about aspar-
st agus and rhubarb because they re-
n main in the garden from year to year
as A garden is not complete without so
ar or more hills of asparagus and ten or
n $50 Of rhubarb. A few young roots
on of horse radish set in rich ground will
of provide a good lot of roots in one or
W two seasons.
