Careful Planning

BY a Government Expert.

little forethought Will enable
comparatively small tract Of land 10
supply the average family with fresh
vegetables throughout the growing
season say specialists in the United
States department of agriculture.
Most owners Of small gardens are
content to raise a single crop on each
plot of land at their disposal 1t is
quite possible, however. 10 grow two
or three crops in one season. and
II these are properly selected the
homegrown produce will be both
better and cheaper than any that
can be purchased on the market.
Just what vegetables are 10 be
grown depends, of course. upon the
individual tastes Of the family. In
general il may be said. however. that
the aim of the home gardener
should be TO raise vegetables in
which freshness is an important
quality. Peas and string or Lima
beans. for example. lose much if
they are not cooked almost i'm
mediately after they are picked on
the other hand. as good potatoes can
De bought as can be grown. More

sumo in a back yard or small garden

TO much more profitable use. This
is true, also, of corn, cucumbers.

be fond, and which may be trouble
some or expensive to purchase Okra
is an example of this class, and little
beds of parsley, chives. or other
herbs take up very little room and
provide the housewife with little ad-

welcome if they can be picked at
the right moment without trouble.

is to be made TO bring the maximum
returns In economy and pleasure TO
the owner, every available foot of

ously. This can be accomplished only
by careful planning and il is rec
commended, therefore, that amateur
gardeners draw up in advance a
complete layout for their garden.
No more space should be allotted TO
each than is needed 10 furnish a
sufficient quantity Of the vegetable
for the family consumption or for
local sale. In many cases, also, space
should be left between the rows for
the interplanting of later crops and
for easy cultivation. Plants which
make a high growth and cause
heavy shade should not he located
where they will interfere with sun
! loving small plants. Perennials too,
such as rhubarb and asparagus.
which are not cultivated. should not
be grown among plants which call
