MAKING A VICTORY GARDEN
commi.sion

The big problem which faces the world
a way the victory gardener has the
same problem before him. In fact,
all through the season after the earliest
maturing crops are taken out Of the
ground there is a sort Of reconstruction
going on constantly in the garden. This
is the succession planting which gives
the midsummer and fall and winter
crops. Careful study and considera-
ton should be given by every home food
producer to this phase Of the garden
work.
AS rule root crops should be followed
In preparing for the second crop all re-
fuse of the first crop should be removed
and the soil well prepared for the sec
end. Make your plans now to have not
only fine spring and early summer lots
of vegetables. but also later pickings
succession cropping the cultivation and
bare of the first crop must leave the
land in good condition for the second,
and the latter as rule should be of
different botanical family from the first.
In this way insect enemies are more
turnips may be sown on any land made
vacant by summer-maturing crops,
early potatoes may be followed by early
sweet corn, bears, celery, beets, car.
rots or spinach; lettuce by summer rad
ishes, beans or spinach: tomatoes, pep
pers. beans or sweet corn by onion sets;
spinach by winter squash; cabbage by
fall radishes or lettuce; leaf lettuce by
snap beans and this crop by leaf let
tuce or fall turnips
In companion cropping. which
amounts to about the same thing as
succession planting, select crops that
mature at different seasons, SO that
after one crop Is removed the other
may spread out and occupy all the
space: Quick. maturing crops should
crops before the latter need the
space. Another point to keep in mind
in companion cropping is to plant to-
gether crops which will not exhaust
the soil through the use of the same
which are placed side by side be such
as breed the same insects and
fungous diseases.
that root crops should be followed
by surface-feeding crops for it may
be planted right through the season
in the same spot in the garden.
While lettuce thrives better In cool
weather than in the heat, there are
several varieties which can be Sc
cured that resist heat quite well, and
in this way you can have q supply
of this delicious and healthful vege-
table all summer long, and then on
until late in the fall.
Proper thinning fs the most I'M
portant feature in connection with
the growing of good lettuce. Lettuce
should not be allowed to grow in a
crowded row. In thinning out 30 as
to give plenty OF space to the plants
that remain, the pulled-up plants may
be transplanted. This work of thin
ming should be continued so that the
plants do not touch, let alone crowd
each other at any time. A final dis
lance of about a foot apart for head
lettuces will be found to be about
right, although exceptionally large

tai by relating to them in a heart

known Of men who made regulations
and fortunes, though handicapped by
physical disabilities.
Mr.. Hammond in setting forth ex-
amples did not lay stress on men of
great mental faculty, but confined
his "reminiscences mostly to men OF
average education and without flnan-
cial backing. He assured the 'maim-
ed men that by close application to
specialized work success would be
certain.
The speaker emphasized the fact
that q man who has lost an arm or a
leg is fortunate as compared with
the man who has all his physical
parts, but who is lacking in ambi-
ton.

victory gardener. Keep on planting
for the summer supply and get ready
for the fall and winter crops which
you will begin to put in the ground
