MAKE PLANS NOW
FOR 1919 SEED CROP

To be prepared for q possible scar.
city of seed next year growers OF root
crops Of all kinds would do well to take
steps to insure at least a partial supply
by growing seed themselves, specialists
of the Department Of Agriculture ad-
wise. This can be done only by the
use OF roots already grown and now In
the ground or held in storage.
Such crops as carrots beets, onions.
turnips. rutabagas. parsnips and satisfy
are involved. owing to unfavorable
weather conditions so far this year IN
the regions where the chief seed supply
OF these crops is produced. This fact.
together with the uncertainty OF the
usual European sources. which cannot
be relied upon to supply us. threatens
very considerable shortage for next
years planting.
Since 1t take two years to produce
these seeds, this shortage can only
be alleviated by the planting for seed
of roots already grown. Farmers Bull
letin s84 gives directions for the home
production of seed of those crops men,
toned and other vegetables.

rows must be far enough apart for a
horse to walk between them If horse
cultivation is to be used. If for hand
cultivation, the rows need not be more
than eighteen inches apart. An ounce
Of seed is sufficient for a 100-foot row.
Ind the plants may be allowed to grow
almost as thick as planted.
The carrot may be used as an al1-sea-
son crop. or may be sown as a late
crop after peas. string beans. etc. These
late-sown carrots will not reach a
large size, but are good for soups, etc.
Carrots should be harvested at the end
of the growing season, and stored in
banks, pits or in the storage room in
the basement.

How to Grow Eggplant.

The seed for eggplant should be sown
in the hotbed about six weeks before
the time to set the plants in the open.
The eggplant iss heat-loving plant
and cannot be successfully planted until
the ground has become warm and the
weather settled.
The soil best adapted to the egg
plant Is a rich, sandy loan, we'll drain
ed. The plants should be set in rows
three feet apart. with the plants two
feet apart in the rows. Cultivation
should be frequent and thorough.
Fresh manure should not be used on
eggplant, but well rotted manure may
be applied freely. In fact, there is lit
tie danger of getting the ground too
rich. Elephants hay be used as soon
as large enough and cannot be kept
for any length of time.

How to Grow Beets.

The red garden beet may be grown
in any good soil. but rich sandy loan
will give the best results. The seed
may be sown in spring as soon as the
ground is in condition to work. They
may be planted two weeks before dan
ger of frost is past. If for horse culti-
walton, the rows should be from 2k to
3 feet apart. or wide enough for the
horse to walk between the rows. II
for hand cultivation, the rows need not
be more than - to IS inches apart. The
usual custom is to sow the seed some
what closer together than the beets are
desired, and after the beets are up,
to thin them from time to time, using
the ones removed for greens until the
beets finally are some 4 to inches
apart in the rows.
1t should be remembered that what is
commonly termed beet seed is really a
seed ball. containing several individual
seeds, and for this reason each one of
these balls may bring from to 4
plants, All of these plants except one
should be removed during the thinning
process. Two ounces of the seed are
sufficient to plant 100-foot row.
at intervals of about two weeks dur
ing the summer SO as to have two
weeks during the summer so as to have
q supply of young tender beets at all
times. The beets should be used before
they exceed a diameter of 2 inches. as
the young beets of moderate size are of
much better Quality than those allowed
that remain unused during the latter
part of the season should be allowed to
grow until frost. pulled. trimmed and
stored for winter use. II not desired

TO INCREASE YIELD
Of THE WAR GARDEN
Fertilizers Necessary if Labor
and Expense Is to Bring
Adequate Returns.

Almost any kind Of ground can be
made to produce crops of vegetables.
provided It is given the proper fertili-
cation and receives sufficient careful
cultivation. Almost no ground, except
naturally rich loans such as are found
along rivers and creeks or in places
recently cleared Of hardwood forests,
will produce much unless 1t is fertil-
lied.
Most Of the soil in this section, because
Of long continued cultivation. has been
robbed of its humus-that is, Of the
vegetable matter originally contained
in all good gardening or farming soils.
Replacement of this is necessary be-
fore such ground can be brought again
to degree of tilth where 1t will re-
turn crops commensurate with the
labor and expense entailed in cultivat-
ing it.
Natural Manures First.
The best means of restoring such
ground to a productive condition is
by the use of natural manures. THESE
include stable manure and green ma
nures of various kinds, such as cow
peas, rye. crimson clover, etc, sowed
in the fall and turned under green in
the spring.
Compost, a mixture of any kind, of
stable or henhouse manure with sods,
lawn clippings leaves, garden refuse.
etc, piled in heap. turned over with
a fork once in awhile and allowed 10
decay into a homogeneous mass before
it is applied to the soil, is beyond
Of tf0n
for any ground. The trouble, however.
is that few gardeners have either the
time or the facilities for making a
compost heap, therefore their depend
ence must be on the other kinds OF
fertilizers.
Many Chemicals Used.
Products of the mines and by-pro-
ducts of various manufactures make
up a long list of valuable fertilizers.
Nitrate of soda. used to stimulate plant
growth, is one of these. Sulphate Of
ammonia. to aid in increasing the nj
trogen content of the soil. is one of the
most valuable fthe list. Acid phoS-
phate, lime and many other chemicals
are Included in the list. all of them
extremely useful, but also costly, and
not capable of exercising their fuil
power until fumus has been restored
to the soil.
The Function of Lime.
Hydrated lime-that is. lime slaked
by long exposure to the air, or other
wise deprived of the caustic properties
of quicklime, and pulverized-is useful
for sweetening acid or sour SOILS, ana
for breaking up and rendering availa-
bic for plant use the humus or vege-
table matter in the soil. Lime should
not be applied too lavishly, nor should
it be applied oftener than once in every
two or three years.
An old English proverb is to the ef-
feet that the farmer who lines his
ground enriches himself and impover-
ishes his son. BY breaking up the hu-
mus in the soil lime makes this matter
Immediately available. SO that it is

quickly used up by plant growths. and
unless the supply Of humus is main
tanned the repeated use of lime will
soon exhaust all humus and wear out
the soil.
A combination of green and barnyard
manures or good compost, lime and
phosphate rock, with a small amount
of nitrate, would be the ideal fertilizer
for most garden plots. because such a
combination would contain the neces-
sary humus. the lime to make it i'm
mediately available and the phos-
phorus, etc. needed to promote vegeta-
BILE growth and productiveness.

GUARD WAR GARDENS
FROM INSECT PESTS
Eternal Vigilance Necessary in War
Against Destructive Foes
of Food Crops.

The back yard or vacant lot agricul-
turist must prepare early in the sea-
son to combat plant diseases and in
sect pests. These are practically cer-
tain to appear in any and every war
garden, and If not fought effectively
they will interfere seriously with the
yields or perhaps destroy tho crops al
together.
Provisions for combating these foes
Of garden vegetables is Of equal i'm
portance with other phases of garden
ing, and under no circumstances should
they be neglected.
The wise gardener does not wait for
the appearance of insects and diseases,
but takes steps against them by spray
ing his plants at reasonable intervals.

Cultivation Necessary.

Deep blowing, thorough narrowing and

full cultivation at frequent Intervals
these are as necessary, il a garden is to

Deep plowing breaks up the upper layers
OF soil and puts 1t into condition to store

breaks up the clods and Jumps and pulver-
ICES the topsoil. 30 that the stored moist
ure is not drawn~at once to the surface
and lost by evaporation, while frequent
cultivation during the growing season
and especially soon after every rain
maintains the soil in a fine condition, so
that 1t constitutes an earth mulch and
keeps soil moisture down at the roots of
the plants, where it is needed.
Evening star., 1918-04-07
Do Not Overfertilize.

Most amateur gardeners make the
mistake Of using too much fertilizer of
the commercial or chemical kinds. Too
liberal applications of these fertilizers
bring rank growths Of tops. stalks,
leaves, etc. with relatively small and
poor yields Of the usabIe parts Of the
plants.
Natural manures, however, cannot be
used too freely. Barnyard manures and
green manure can be used in any Quanti-
ties. provided the soil receives an occa-
sional application Of lime to keep it sweet
and to keep the humus broken up and
available for plant food. and occasional
applications Of acid phosphate to restore
phosphorus to the ground. A garden not

Simple Methods for Some.

Simple methods Of protecting plants
from the larger eating insects are to
pick them by hand or. to knock them
with stick into pan containing wa
ter on which thin film of kerosene
is floating. Insects collected by hand
should be destroyed promptly. Some
young plants may be protected by set
ting over them wooden frames covered
with mosquito netting, wire mesh. or
cheesecloth.
If the home gardener finds it neces-
sary to adopt other than these simplest
methods he should secure early in the
season the necessary Implements and
materials in his anti-insect campaign.
He may need a substantial hand sprayer
and concentrated solutions for spray
ing 'on the plants after dilution with
water. Every effort should be made
this year to prevent waste of these
chemical materials. Where soap
emulsion would be sufficient it should
be preferred. Gardeners who obtain a
supply OF chemicals too great for their
needs can help by supplying the surplus
to neighbor.
