PLAN NOW FOR GARDENS.
Conditions That Demand Large PRO.
~ duction Exist Aqain Ihis Year.


Take thought Of the spring garden
now. Notwithstanding the large pro-
ductlon of vegetables last year, and the
great volume put into cans and jars
for winter use. there Is nothing to indi-
cate that there will not be equal need
for production and conservation in 1918,
says the United States department Of
agriculture.
Many gardens failed last year be-
cause Of poor soil or poor preparation
or both. For the average householder
it will be sufficient to prepare ground
enou h to produce the home supply for
catin In the fresh state and for can
sass,,ng. drying or brlning for use dur
ing the following winter. Producing
vegetables for market should not BIO
undertaken without full knowledge OF
horticulture and sufficient capital and
equipment.
This city has located thro County
Agent w. A. Buchanan and a special
agent Of the extension department sew
enty-flve acres of lots within the city
limits which were not cultivated the
past season. They also found that
much ground was not properly ploWed
and prepared during the pas season
and that many OF THESE lOtS 1alled 10
rs-oduce because OF the poor character
the soil. Crops not well adapted to
.. ;rtain soils had been planted.
: = 1t is the plan Of tho county agent
and the local organization to extend
the cultivated area and to see that the
crops are adapted to soil conditions.
Investigations On this city showed that
$4,000 was paid In cash last year for
food for the poor. Ninety per cent OF
the potatoes consumed were Imported
from long distance. The committees
conducting this survey work were ap-
pointed by the mayor and they are now
systematically arranging to manure.
