couse, those who had the best gardens
and took the best care Of them got
the best returns, especially those who
followed the rules of the contest.
The Commercial Club at its last
meeting in accepting the report of the
gardening committee voted TO appro-
pirate twenty-five dollars for prizes to
encourage the garden contest work
the coming year. Announcement Of
prizes and rules for the contest next

The beans were very good. They
bore a great number Of long yellow
pods and when these became too tough
to eat I let them stand till they dried.
The carrots and beets grew nicely

received about peck of carrots and

In July my radishes were used up
and planted rutabagas in their place
but only half of them grew and

I planted the onions in one, spot in

hard to keep the soil loose between

I accomplished it and raised about a

publicity given to gardening and pro-

were hundred forty signed up to en-

ants took good care of their garden
and carefully followed the rules thru
out the season. The gardens were in
spected every two weeks, questions
were answered, suggestions were o.
fered and the gardens were scored.
Contestants were requested to exhibit
at the County Fair After the fair
each handed in a report of their gar
dening and results. Credit was given
each one for their showing at the
County Fair and for their report. A
few of these reports will be of inter-
est and will give a very good idea of
the work.

NY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A
GARDEN.

In May my garden plot was plowed.
After removing all the sod I hoed and
raked it so that it was even and the
soil was fine. I planted the onions,
carrots, beets, radishes and beans
then, leaving the tomatoes till later
on.
After the vegetables in other gar
dens were quite high and mine had
not begun to grow except the radishes
and beans decided to replant my gar
den. But heavy rain came and after
that the vegetables grew and soon
caught up with those in other gardens.
I weeded and 'hoed them every week
and every two weeks I cleaned the
whole garden as much as I could for
Mr.. Rodegeb's visit.
In the later part of May I set out
my tomato plants, which 1 had raised
from seed. They we're very small at
that time but as it was quite early /
decided to try them and IL they did
not grow there would be time to plant
another crop Of them. After they had
been in the garden for a few days and
had taken root they began to grow.
They grew so fast and thick that I

REPORT OF 1917 GARDEN CONTEST

June s I transplanted my tomatoes
in with my beans. Having . large
number of tomato plants left over, l
sold them to the stores amounting to
soc. My tomatoes were good crop.
l sterilized some and took some to the
Fair, receiving prize on them
About the middle of July planted
some winter radishes. The season
was very dry SO watered my radishes
every evening and as a result had a
very good crop and have some packed
in sand for winter use. 90
sold some beans, Swiss chard, and
parsnips amounting to $1:00. The rest
was used at home, some used fresh
from the garden and the rest stored
away for winter use.
l had good deal pleasure out of
my garden even tho there was large
amount of work. But what I enjoyed
most was to go out and gather the
vegetables, especially the nice red to-
matoes. l feel very much repaid by
the successful results OF my garden.

My garden was about "a feet square.
The land sloped slightly to the south,
so it got the full benefit of the sun.

AS soon as the garden had been
plowed, raked and finished off, plant

beans, and beets. A. little later I set
out some cabbage and few pepper
plants.
The cabbage was too thick to be Of
any advantage, so in succession !

for the sake of experimenting. The
result was as good as could be OK
