DO NOT FORGET THE GARDEN

Gardeners should remember that
there are a number of vegetables
which can be planted row Or in the
near future. Sweet potatoes, beans,
squash, cucumhers, melons, okra,
tomato seeds ard corn should all be
gotten in the ground. Egg plants,
pepper and tomato plants should be
set out. The fact that ''the early
garden" vegetables were not gotten
in as soon as might have been wished
should not make US lose sight of the
fact that these later paintings are just
as important and desirable.
