Dried peas last winter reached the
point in price that one but the rich
could. afford to eat them unless he grew
them. Prospects are for even higher
prices next winter. They are among
our most nourishing foods and nearly
every body eats. them. A few rows
planted a month from now will supply
an ordinary family all next winter.
Prepare now to save ell seed possible

Corn planted each two or three weeks
will furnish 9 continuous supply Of roast
ing ears thruout the season. And put
Scotia or Kentucky Wonder beans in
with the corn and we get q supply
Of two Of our best and most savory
vegetables every day thru the
summer.
We have heard questions all our life
as to whether larga or small IRISH pota-
toes for seed gave best results. We
are trying it this year. Our main patch
is planted with seed just as they came
from the field last fall, large and small
ones mixed. Then we have q seed plot in
the garden planted with the largest,
smoothest, and choicest potatoes we
could select from about rs bushels we
raised last fall. Both on same quality
of ground, planted and worked just the
same.
A town gardener asked the writer a
few days ago what kind of tomato
would continue to bear and give large
fruits until frost. WI had to confess
that we don't know. We plant some
early plants and when they produce a
good crop of large fruits they rest for
a while and then bear a lot Of smaller
fruits, then VIZ pull them up and have
others planted a few weeks later than
they we're to take their places. But in
this climate we do not know a tomato
that bears large fruits thruout the sea-
son. We make about three paintings.
1t is hoped that every garden in Fay
cite county this year will be an all
year garden. Too often gardeners fill
with enthusiasm which too soon wanes
andthe garden goes to weeds. Keep it
clean and ssplant a succession Of crops,
putting one on each row Is fast as the
other is taken off. We do not intend to
have any rowin our garden of almost an
acre vacant for more than a few days
from now until nearly Christmas. land
then we apply manure. turn 1t under
and get the garden in winter dress.
If the first early beans and tomatoes
were lost by last weeks freezes, as
many were, not much was lost and if
they had not been lost a few messes Of
these vegetables as early as they would
have come would compensate for the
trouble. This time some gardeners
lost by the early trial, next time they
may win.
The ground was vary dry last week
when the freeze came, and in our home
garden the beans and tomatoes were
