EVERY FARM SHOULD HAVE
AN ACRE GARDEN
Rv 2. G. HOLDEN.

by L. i. t1OLDG4N.
Every farm should have an acre
fruit and vegetable garden. 1t is
profitable because it helps US to feed
ourselves; saves what we otherwise
would be obliged to pay for this food.
Il is healthy because it means more
fruit and vegetables, less beef and
pork on our table all the year around.
If we don't grow our fruit and vege-
tables, we won't have any-We will just
eat meat and bread.
1t means a real farm home, where
the boy will love to stay, where the
children VIII love to invite their
friends because they have something
TO give them-straWberri raspber-
ries, cherries or apples.
Don't say; oh, I'm too busy to plant
q garden. I'll grow corn and wheat
and hogs and cattle, and buy my fruit
not buy them, and we will not have
them. Well just go on eating pork
and more pork, wondering why our
family is unhealthy, why our children
want to move to town. If we don't
have a real garden, with some straw
berries or other berries and some fruit
trees, we won't have a real home
We have often planned to have a
real garden. If we don't plant one now
if we keep putting it Olive never
will have one.
Don't crowd your garden into a 1T
tie patch near the house, with little
short, stingy rows close together, so
il will be handy for mother TO gather
the vegetables. Handy for mother?
Not on your life. That isn't the rea-
son you put the garden near the
house. 1t is so mother will pull the
Dc IL
has many things to do; the garden is
poorly cultivated; the chickens get
most Of the stuff.
Grow a real garden. not Just some
lettuce and q few radishes and some
beets and potatoes. Grow Il garden
that will supply you with fruit as well
as vegetables all season. and provide
surplus for canning or drying or
storing for winter use. A good gar
den is like heaven--it is universally
desired, but few get it.
Put your garden where 1t will be
easy for you to use a horse cultivator.
Plant 1t in long, straight rows, with
the rows as far apart as you plant
your corn. Then when you are using
your horse cultivator run it through
the garden few times. It will take
only few minutes and mother won't
need to break her back pulling weeds.
and your boy won't have to stay home
on Saturday afternoon and hoe when
he wants to go fishing. Besides, it
will be better cultivated. 1t will be a
garden worth while.
If you took a trip of SIX or eight
miles In any direction from your home.
on what per cent. of the farms would
you find gardens having a few fruit
trees, Strawberries and other berries,
as well as rhubarb, tomatoes, aspara-
gus and other vegetables?
What per cent. would be represented
if you omitted fruit trees, but includ-
ed small fruits and the vegetables
mentioned?
What per cent. would have cold
frames for growing early vegetables
starting tomato plants, etc?
What per cent. would be without
gardens that contained more than just
| such things as radishes, onions, lettuce
| beets. etc? How many farms would
/ you find that had no gardens of any
| kind?

TIE EUROPEAN CORN goRER,


Many inquiries have been received
regarding the European Corr Boref
= hich is causing so much damage in
eastern massachusetts,. This very de-
structive pest was probably imported
INTO this country several years ago
and was first discovered in 1917 when
many stalks and ears Of sweet corn
growing near Boston were found to
BE- infested, according to G. NJ. Cod
ding, agent in entomology for the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, with offices at Hartford, Conn.
In the fall of 1917 the borer was
known to exist over an area of about
100 square miles mostly north and
northwest of Boston: Since then the
spread has been rapid and at the pres
cnt time over 500 square miles are
ilfested. While there has been no
authentic report of the European corn
horer having been found in Connecti-
cut, we cannot be too careful in close
" examining plants subject TO infes-
tation.
During the winter the larvae or
borers are found in the corn stalks
and some OF the larger grasses, weeds,
etc. During May they pupate. With
III few days the moth energies and
proceeds to lay as many as 100 eggs
The eggs hatch and the young borers
start feeding upon early corn and
weeds.
The latter part of July these borers
pupate and the first of August emerge
as moths which lay more eggs. These
soon hatch and the second generation
Of borers commence feeding on all
parts o. the corn plant except the
roots. 1t is this second brood that
causes the greatest damage and which
winter over in the corn stalks, large
grasses and weeds. The borer can
be destroyed by pulling up and burn
ing all corn stalks, barnyard grasses
and weeds growing in or near the
garden. AS many as Gil oorers have
been found in single hill q stalks)
