"A half-acre garden, If cared for prop
erly, will produce far more vegetables
than the average family can consume
during. the maturing period of the
crops. Only a small portion of a gar
den of this size should be devoted to
those vegetables that must be used as
soon as they reach maturity. 1t Is
advisable to de> Ote the major portion
Of the space to those crops which IL
not needed at once may be kept for
winter use. In fact, If the space Is
available the garden should be planned
with the definite purpose Of growing
crops for storage for winter use.
Late heets, late cabbage, carrots, eel

sweet potatoes. satisfy, and late tur-
nips may be stored In their natural
condition and If possible should he

Work Garden All Season.
1t Is possible in nearly all sections
Of the country to grow late beets, late
cabbage, late potatoes and turnips on
ground that has already produced a
crop of lettuce, radishes, beans, early
pens, early potatoes, or some crop re-
quiring a relatively short period for
its maturity. Gardeners are inclined
to neglect the opportunities for crop
production in the garden after the first
of the season has passed and frequent
ly space is allowed to lie idle that
should be producing a crop of late po-
tatoes, cabbage or turnips. In sections
where the season Is short 1t Is posi-

Storage In the Home.
BY utilizing every square foot OF
space in the garden n considerable
quantity Of vegetables may be grown
for storage for winter use. If no stOr-
age facilities exist In the home all the
crops suitable for keeping may be
stored in outdoor banks or pits. How
ever, it is not at all difficult to provide
storage facilities in most homes, 1t be-
ing only necessary to make use of the
cellar, the attic, a large closet, or 9TH
er parts of the dwelling, depending up
on the character of the product to be
stored.
Beans. including the Limas. may he

them to as great an extent as possible
for winter use. Limas and other pole
beans may be planted around the fence,
1t being possible in this way TO produce
considerable quantities Of dried beans
for winter use. The pods should be al
lowed to remain on the vines until dry
enough to rattle, should then be gath

some other dry place, and when dry

that wartime economy calls for re-

McAdoO says he has his shoes half
sOled when they need it-and appears
to be proud OF It, recommending this
course to every one else. Leaving out

possibly slim allowance to the woman
who usually buys from six to twelve
pairs, but three pairs will answer
There Is no economy In having only
one pair Of street shoes, because they
year much longer and look much bet
ter when two pairs are worn alter
nately. Shoe trees keep them In good
shape when they are not In use and
are as necessary to shoes as hangers
are to coats and frocks.
A wartime summer outfit In shoes
might follow the suggestion In the
group Of three pairs shown In the pic
ture. These do not include shoes
made solely for spOrtswear, which can
be considered beside the question Of
shoes that are Indispensable. All the
