GETTING READY To PRODUCE
FOOD IN THE BACKYARD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-How shall
we get ready for home gardening &C
tiyities in 1918 is a question now
reaching the United States depart
ment OF agriculture from all sections.
To these questioners the department
is giving the following advice:
Determine the location and the area
to be planted to vegetables as soon as
practicable. Clear 1t of rubbish and
as material suitable for compost
heap is available, start one. Arrange,
if possible, for the necessary fertilizer
for the seasons garden from local
sources such as stables, streets, or
abattOirs. Add these materials to the
compost heap so as TO insure as large
supply as possible of suitable mate
rial with the smallest practicable
use OF commercial fertilizers. This
is desirable to insure plant food and
to save expense. Commercial fertil-
izers are scarce and high and in gar
den work even when such materials
are abundant and relatively cheap they
can not entirely replace stable manure
and compost. Each city or town should
be able TO supply the major part of
the needs OF its gardening population
II the fertilizers produced within its
limits are husbanded for their use.
AS soon as the spring catalogues are
available. select the list of seeds
needed to plant the area to be used
| for gardening. In choosing the list
/ have in mind the selection or those
! sorts which did best last season, those
which the family relished most, and
determine the quantity with care in
order that only the seed necessary to
meet your requirement be purchased
The supply of some OF the important
varieties Of garden seeds is limited
and in order that all may obtain the
quantity needed to meet their needs
every one should cooperate TO max,
the supply available produce a maxi
mum crop.
Place your seed orders early.
In planning the garden have due re
gard to supplying the family will

sired for canning or drying. but re

There has been much mIsunder-
standing about the bread program I'm

you are an experienced practical gar
dener with suitable soil and location
and adequate capital to finance the
operation.
Planning the garden on paper-that
is, drawing a right plant. TO scale on
which are indicated the spaces to be
devoted to early planted and later
crops, the best planting dates, etc
is an interesting winter evening EN-.
ployment for the entire family.
See that garden tools are properly
protected and are ready for spring
use. Have fruit trees and small fruits
pruned and sprayed at the proper
seasons.
Secure Farmers Bulletin No. SIS,
The Small Vegetable Garden" and
books on gardening and prepare your.
self to make every seed count.
The experienced gardeners of a
neighborhood will find profit as well as
pleasure in the formation OF a local
garden club. The meetings can be
conducted on the basis of experience
meetings to the mutual advantage OF
all; beginners should take advantage
! Of the experience of successful local
gardeners in planning their operations
Many valuable hints can thus be OBJ
tanned that can not be found in book.
or papers on gardening. In these
times ii is not only a privilege but {
duty to pass on the results of gar
den experience when such experience
may save another from error or in
crease his chances OF success.
The effort should be to provide To-
ones needs only.
Plant proved sorts in sufficient guam
tity only to supply the table and t,
meet the canning and drying require
mcnts. Make the seed supply 100 pc
cent efficient
Husband the local fertilizer suppl
by beginning early to accumulate mar
ure and other materials for a compos
heap.
O. Tell your ncighbor the sorts that di
j best for you last year and how yo
treated them to secure best results
. Point out the don't" as well as tn
do" in gardening. Help the othe
; fellow to help himself!
