Start Spring Garden In Fall.

Spring garden? Yes, it's time to
start next springs garden, says J. 7.
Rosa, Jr., OF the University Of Mis-
souri, College Of Agriculture. As
soon as frost has killed oil of the late
vegetables, the dead vines of such
crops, us tomatoes, squash and mel
ons, which harbor insects and diseases
that will give trouble next spring
should be pulled and burned. The
last of the root crops may be taken
up and stored In trench or in a
cehar.
When the garden has teen clean
ed, broadcast over the ground some
rotten stable manure, add sprink-
ling Of either bone meal or acid phos-
phate fertilizer and pillow the whole
under. The furrow slices hold the
rain and snow and expose the soil to
the pulverizing action of frost. The
fall plowed garden is ready for
planting sooner In the spring than is
the spring plowed garden. Where the
soil Is loose it dries oil quickly and
is ready for planting earlier. The
soil Is in better shape for working
and for growing plants. Early vege-
tables planted in the fall plowed gar
den will make a quick start, for the
organic matter will have partially de-
cayed and become well Incorporated
In the soil during the winter. Ere
quently in the rush Of spring work
unless the garden was fall plowed, II
may remain unplowed until late. Thus
the effectiveness and the value Of the
garden viii DO reduced.
