Home gardens were boons to thou
sands Of families in the United States
last season, and the garden habit
seems to have become fixed with a
large number of persons,
In most sections the late fall gar
dens were killed by frost and in many
cases the debris still filters the
ground.
Bean poles and tomato stakes, with
their burden of frosted vines, are top
pied over and give the garden an I'M
kempt and ragged appearance. Aside
from the esthetic influence of clean
ing up the garden, 1t is important that
all rubbish and dead plants be re-
moved and burned to protect the crops
of next season from the insects and
disease spores which infest the debris.
A few hours OF work in the garden
now will save serious losses another
year. Gather the bean poles, tomato
stakes, and any removable trellises Or
wires, store the good ones until they
are again needed; then pull, rake to-
gether, and burn all the dead vines
and plants left in the garden. If these
are too wet or green to burn, they
may be gathered in small piles for a
few days to dry and then piled to-
gether and burned.

the ground becomes unusually well
fortified. In most cases these lots
are used year after year for the same

utilize this is to have two or three
lots OF about two acres each, using
one for pasture each year, and the
other two for cropping. Such an ar

rise to $40.43 in 1917, to $17.07 in 1913,
to $56.29 in 1919, and to $64.95 In
1920.
The rate of gain over 1895 was 20
per cent in 1915 and 267 per cent in
1920, so that the gain of 20 per cent
In 20 years, from 1895 to 1915, was
followed by a gain of 1877 per cen in
five years, from 1916 to 1920, or near
ly three times as much in a quarter as
many years.
From 1915 to 1920, farm labor work
ing by the month without board re-
ceived a gain In wage rate as high as
115 per cent. This was one Of the
causes Of the greatly increased cost of
producing things ON the farm, which
has hit the farmer SO hard In the de-
clining market for his crops of 1920.
So high had the farm-wage rates be-
come in the last two or three years
that they were prohibitive In a consld-
cradle degree when labor could be
found, and farmers more generally
depended exclusively o themselves
and members of their families, in adj
dition to extending the use Of labor
saving machinery.
