GARDEN AND TRUCK PATCHES
Most intensively Worked Spots on
Farm and Contribute Greatly to
Farmers income.

The most intensively-worked field on
the farm, say specialists Of the United
states department of agriculture, Is
the garden. For convenience 1t Is
usually located close to the dwelling.
Many farmers have, In addition. truck
patches In fields where intertilled
crops. such as corn. are grown. These
patches are conveniently plowed, pre-
pared, and cultivated at the same time
the ground Is worked for the regular
crop. In the truck patch potatoes,
sweet corn, cabbage. tomatoes, squash,
and cucumbers are usually raised.
Vegetables constitute only about IL
per cent in value of all food consumed
by farmers. and about 90 per cent of
the vegetables are furnished by the
farm. In general, Irish potatoes are
easily the most important vegetable
raised, constituting nearly one-half
the value Of all vegetables consumed.
In the South, however. about twice
as many sweet potatoes as Irish pota-
toes are used.

QUICKLY PERIsHABLE CROPS
Difficult to Form Any Reliable Judo-
ment for Marketing Berries,
Melons and Peaches.

1t is particularly difficult to form
any reliable market judgment for
quickly perishable, short-season crops
like Strawberries, peaches. and melons,
says the United Stdtes department of
agriculture. Markets in such lines are
irregular. differing widely at the same
time In different cities because the ma
ture of the crop does not admit of
safe transfer between distant points
and does not allow long keeping In
cold storage. These lines feel quickly
and severely the effect of oversupply,
whether of car lots or from neIghbor.
Ing sources. AS these crops are not
strictly necessities, the demand is
somewhat uncertain, depending large
ly upon the buying power of the pub
lie. which may vary greatly from sea.
son to season.
