GREENS IN GARDENS
THROUGHOUT SEASON
List to Select From Includes Dif-
ferent Varieties.
Culture Of Various Plants Is Similar
In Many Respects-Each Requires
Rich Soil and Cultivation to
Keep Surface Loose.

No home garden is complete without
greens. The list from which to choose
includes spinach, kale, chard, mustard,
turnip tops, sour dock, bassella, and
young beets. BY proper seeding and
the use of the right kind of plants,
some kind of green's can be had grow
Ing In the garden throughout the FROST
free season, according to garden spe-
cialists, United States department Of
agriculture.
Cabbage stored In a pit during the
winter will produce a tender growth
during the spring and may be used
the same as spinach or other green's.
The secret lies In getting tender
growth early In the spring, when our
systems call for green's of some sort.
The culture of the various greens
Is similar In many respects. Each re
uuires rich soil and sufficient cultiva-
ton to keep the surface loose and
free from weeds. Spinach is fall,
winter, and early spring crop through
out the Southern states, a spring and
fall crop In the middle states, and
late spring crop in the extreme north
ern part of the country. From Nor
folk, Va, southwark along the Attain
tic coast, II is customary to cut spin
ach and kale during the winter, and
shin II TO the northern markets. Tur-
nip tops are used almost universally
throughout the South during the win
ter and early spring months as greens.
Spinach is generally grown on bed
raised three or four inches above the
surrounding surface to insure good
drainage. The beds are made ABOUT
five or six feet In width, FIVE to seven
rows being planted lengthwise. Cover
the seed about one-half inch and when
the plants appear cultivate the ground
between the rows. Fall sown spinach
ean be protected during the winter
with a little straw or leaves and Will
come out in good condition in the
snrinr provided the temperature does
not 90 below 10 degrees or Il degrees
above zero during the winter ana pro

PLAN FOR CUTTING ASPHALT
and Labor Saver-Wire Cuts
Through Material.

Asphalt is usually shipped In tin
barrels. The metal is stripped OF and
the asphalt rolled up to the stopping
board; the wire shown, attached TO
the winding drum, is passed over and
around the asphalt TO a piece Of pipe
under and ahead of the stop board.
When the drum is turned it tightens
up on the wire and causes It to cut
through the asphalt. Kerosene Is
poured on the wire TO make 1t pass
through the asphalt easily.
The barrel shape is first cut In half.
then each half is cut into quarters
