GARDENING TO BEAT III. C.. l..

Clemson College, May 30.-Ordin-
arily the average Southern garden is
a spring garden,--a one-season af-
/, fair, few vegetables being available
at any other time. Comparatively
few people seem to realize the posi-
bilitics of the all-season garden. The
value of such a garden normally is
incstimablc, but under present high
and increasing prices and the prac-
tlcally certain great shortage Of food
stuffs, the all-season garden is a
go-send. Therefore, suggest Ex-
tension Service horticulturists, it is
imperative that all gardeners, large
or small, look ahead and arrange a
rotatlVe system to utilize all possible
space with succession crops, consecu-
tive planting, etc. The four essen
tlals of good gardening I'll thorough
preparation, careful planting, fre-
qucnt shallow cultivation, and con-
, secutive cropping, must be kept in
/ mind to get maximum results.
What TO Plant.
During late May and June plant
vegetables for late summer and fall
use: tomatoes, cabbage, y collards,
squash, (striped cushaws), beans,
Southern prize tunips, and few
rows Of corn for earning. For best
results in dry weather, small seed
should be sown in shallow burrows
on the level and frmcd into the soil
by rolling whcclbarrow or wheel
hoe over them.

early maturing varieties Of beans,
beets, corn, cabbage, tomatoes, and
mustard. Some good varieties to

buyer. If a farmer states that he has
shipped to market carload Of high
grade produce which upon arrival is
found to be of inferior quality, natural
ly the purchaser 4uestions the farm
er's integrity and does not depend up
on his word in the future. On the
other hand, should buyer allege that
produce was received in bad condition,
when, as matter Of fact, it was in
flrGt-class shape, the farmer loses con-
fidence in the buyer and regards him
as dishonest.
TO Eliminate Distrust
These are conditions that should not
exist, and the Bureau of Markets has
set about in a very practical way to
help eliminate them. 1t maintains
that in the marketing of produce
there should be a common and uni
form basis of understanding. The
various kinds Of marketable produce
should be known by grades, and the
specifications for any particular grade
should be the same everywhere. For
example, potatoes of No. 2 grade
should be No. 2 potatoes throughout
the entire country and not No. grade
in certain sections. And if the farm
er agrees to ship No. 2 potatoes, they
should conform to the. specifications
for that grade. By eliminating the
confusion resulting form a particular
grade of produce having one meaning
to the farmer and another to the
buyer, foundation of mutual under
standing established.
That the use Of standard grades is
readily appreciated by producers and
buyers alike, was evidenced during the
war, when the Food Administration
required licensed dealers to use potato
grades recommended by the Bureau Of
Markets. The results were so salts
factory that when the regulation was

The Bureau of Markets has recom-
mended grades for potatoes, Bermuda
and northern grown onions, strawber-
ries, and rice. 1t has established
grades for wheat, corn, oats, and cot
ton. In the near future it expects to
recommend grades for hay and other
produce. 1t has recently prepared
tentative wool grades with view ul-
timately to recommending standard
grades of that commodity. A COM
plete classification of cattle, calves,
hogs, sheep, and goats has been adopt
ed by the bureau for use in reporting
livestock market prices. A similar
classification is in use for reporting
wholesale meat quotations. Considera
tion is also being given the question
of having representatives demon
strate United States grain grades to
European countries for the purpose of
familiarizing dealers there with the
standards upon which international
transactions with the United States
should be based.
Hay Producers Feel Need
In the matter of hay, farmers ad-
nit that the marketing of the COM
modify is a hazardous undertaking
because of the possibility of loss due
to misunderstanding lack Of inspec-
ton, variations in grades in different
markets, differences in the manner in
which rules for grading are interpret
ed, and because of sharp practices.
In fact, many farmers have stated
that nine-tenths Of the losses in the
hay business are due to lack Of stand
ard grades and uniform, impartial
inspection service.
Not only does the use of standard
grades result in better understanding
and confidence between producers and
buyers, but in greater satisfaction be-
