Reduce Cost of Living
With a September Garden

TN HE war garden, put back on a
y peace footing, still offers the
most practical means of fighting the
high cost Of living. Even the tiniest
plot Of ground can be made profitable
with little industry and the exercise
of good judgment in planting.
Autumn is officially here, but the
gardener, amateur as well as profess
sional, need not put aside his tools and
wait for the first visit Of Jack Front.
Now is the time to plant September
garden, and if the experts know what
they are talking about, in some Sec
tons of the south vegetables grown
in September garden are even better
than the spring varieties.
With commendable enterprise the
Arkansas profitable farming bureau
is distributing large posters which call
attention to the advantages of autumn
truck raising. Since what is good for
Arkansas is in the main equally as
good for Alabama, the information
carried on these posters is Of value to
the people of this state.
After preparing the ground thor
Ioughly, the bureau advises that a
packet each of the following vege-
tables be planted: Early beets, drum
head Savoy cabbage, Georgia collard
Danvers half long carrot, Swiss chard
green curled endive, dwarf Scotch
lkale, early white kohlrabi, big Boston
lettuce, southern curled mustard, early
scarlet radish, double curled parsley
Chinese winter radish, dwarf essex
rape, early spinach, mammoth satisfy
strap leaf turnip, seven top turniI
and white egg turnip.
| The advantages of making a garden
in the autumn are quite obvious t.
any person who has labored under :
broiling sun during the spring ,ant
summer, trying. to get his vegetable
up and keep the weeds down. Sep
te mber is an ideal month for working
outdoors and fresh vegetables grow
at this season of the year are no
only treat in themselves, but pro
llong into the winter months the sum
mer campaign to reduce the cost }.
living by dealing as sparingly as pos
