Utilize Waste Patches

Make every foot of land work. There are hundreds of acres still left on Arkansas farms in small patches hardly 1t for some field crops, yet they should be producing something. Utilize these waste patches. Anything will be bette. than weeds that will furnish some feed for the stock or something for the table. If you have the seed plant sor- ghum or put in peas, beans, tur- nips. mangel wurtzels, pumpkins or squashes. Squash will keep all winter. They should be planted in hills about 8 feet apart. Put about two good shov elfuls of routed manure in each hill and you will be surprised at the results. Winter squash are very much like a pumpkin and taste like them. The Hubbard Delicious is a good variety.
