IT'S NOT TOO LATE
To PLANT GARDEN
Expert Names Vegetables
Which Can Be Grown
and Results Obtained.

Although seemingly late in the sea-
son, there are a few vegetables that
can be planted and good results OBJ
tanned The slogan OF the increased
food campaign is. ITO keep something
growing on the ground all the time, p
so If you nave any available space
it is advisable TO plant it at once. The
crops that can still be planted with
success are as follows: KaIe, lettuce.
mustard, parsley. radishes. spinach and
turnips.
Diseases Live in SoII.
In planting these crops it Is best
not to plant the same thing in the
same place the second time. The rea-
son for this is hat certain diseases
affect certain crops and will live over
in the soil, but will have no effect on
other crops planted in the same place.
This is one of the best means Of
eliminating plant diseases.
AS with early in the season the soil
should be thoroughly prepared. Some
Of the smaller failures at this time
could have been eliminated had more
attention been given this phase Of
the work. Preparation determines to
a considerable extent the stand Of
plants which will result from the use
Of good seed. The time Of germina-
ton is also governed by the thorough
ness with which the seed bed is pre-
pared. If the soil is only partially fine
and c~ompacted. the seeds will be
much longer IN absorbing the neces-
sary amount Of water to cause them
to germinate. but with Thoroughly
fined and compacted soil the process
OF conducting the water to the seed
begins Immediately. Thorough prepar-
alton also conserves the moisture OF
the ground. thu insuring a. more
staple product h would otherwise
be obtained.
Planting Distances.
The planting distances OF the crops
as mentioned are as follows: Kale.
broadcast. as turnips: lettuce. az
ounces OF seed TO 100 feet Of row:
mustard. A-b ounces OF seed to 100
feet OF row parsley, IA ounces Of

Glasses are a pleasant remedy,
