little later in the season sweet corn
or late cabbage can be planted be-
tween the rows of early Irish potatoes
and make considerable of start be-
fore the Irish potatoes are dug.
In the extreme South a few crops
that will withstand the heat should be
planted for midsummer use. Swiss
chard, while adapted TO a temperate
climate, does fairly well under south
ern conditions, and continues to pro-
ducc greens throughout the greater
part Of the summer. Bussella, or New
Zealand spinach, is adapted for the
production of greens during the heat
ed period.
In the middle section, early peas
may be followed by late cabbage, late
potatoes, late snap beans, beets, or
turnips. Early Irish potatoes may be
followed by turnips, late snap beans,
or by late sweet corn.
Fail gardens should in no case be
overlooked, especially from the Mid
die States southwark. Paintings of
practically all the early spring vege-
tables may be made from July to
September, according to locality, and
be brought to maturity before early
autumn frosts. BY proper attention
to the garden, fresh vegetables may
be had through a period of about 10
months of the year i'm the extreme
South and for about months in the
middle section. The season for the
New England and northwestern sec
tions is necessarily much more limit
ed but even here the efficiency Of a
garden can be greatly increased by a
careful study and attention to the
matter of companion cropping and
successive paintings of certain vege-
tables.
Late cabbage seed should be sown
about June in most sections and the
plants set in the garden June 20 to
July 5. The last planting of sweet
corn should be made about 80 days
before the first killing frost of autu-
mn may be expected.
Most crops mature in shorter
period in the late summer than in the
spring. This is due to the shortening
of the days and the tendency of the
plant to "hurry up" to produce it's
seed before winter overtakcs it. 1t
pays to take Il chance on late paintings
of bccts, carrots, lettuce, spinach,
snap beans, sweet oorn and turnips if
you like them.
AS rule early or quick maturing
varieties are best for late planting.
This does not apply, however, to Col
den Bantam corn which does best in
the spring. Evergreen or Mammoth
Evergreen corn are considered best for
late planting.

McBEE PEACH GROWERS
ARE VERY ENTHUSIASTIC

Clemson College, May 3O.-The
peach growers around McBce, in the
section now coming to be known as
the Carolina Fruit Hills, are very
enthusiastic over the prospects for
good crop this year and over the
prospects for permanent success with
peaches in that section. The EX-
tension Service horticulturists report
that there are now about 240 acres
of peach orchards in the McBee COM
munity. 180 acres Of which are new
orchards set this year and 60 acres
of old archards now in full bearing
and with fine crop of fruit set and
developing.
Latest reports are that the last
cold spell, which killed much fruit
in various parts Of the state, did
little damage to the McBee peach
orchards; in fact, some of the trees
seem to have been benefited by the
cold weather, which helped to thin
the too heavy crop. TO further in
sure fine quality of fruit many
trees are being thinned following a
thinning demonstration by the Ex-
tension Service horticulturist.
Some most encouraging advance
prices have been offered the growers
by the buyers these prices running
as high as $3.50 per crate f. O. b.
McBec plus onc-half of any amount
received over $3.50 after deduction
of expenses.

little commercial fertilizer will help
greatly to push the late crops to ma
turity. In some sections a little nj
trate of soda is used as top dressing
to hurry the plants along.
There are a great many little tricks
that should be learned and practised
by the gardener. 1t is not necessary
to be wizard to practise these tricks
but just good, common sense gard
ener. One of the best of these is the
use of a board laid over the row of
seeds for few days after planting to
hold the moisture and make the seeds
start during dry weather. Another is
to flood the furrow with water and al
low it to soak into the soil before
dropping the seeds then cover with
dry earth. Slightly packing OF firm
ing the dry soil over the seeds will
help to bring the moisture to tie SIR
face and make the seeds grow. Gard
en- tricks are easy to perform-try a

Keep THE GARDEN PRODUCING
ALL THROUGH THE SEASON
Ground Should be Kept Busy all the
Time, Either by Companion Crop
ping, by Following One Crop
With Another, or by Successive
Planting.

Southern gardens begin to look
secdy about June 10, gardens in the
Middle States section are in the
height of their glory, and the New
England gardens are just getting well
started. 1t seems to be foregone
conclusion on the part of most persons
throughout the Southern States that
southern gardens can be grown only
in the spring and in the fall, with n
few chance hardly crops during the
winter.
The farmer of the middle section
plants his spring garden, then gets
: busy with farm crops, and very little
further attention is given the garden,
unless the work is done by the women.
In the New England States and parts
of the northwest where the growing
season is quite short only one crop of
most vegetables can be grown. In the
middle section, however, two crops can
often be grown on the same land, and
more important STILL a continuous
supply Of peas, beans, sweet corn, and
number of other vegetables can be
had by making successive paintings.
Grow One Crop After Another
The garden is generally the richest
spot of ground on the farm, and for
that reason should be expected to pro-
To get maximum production, however
it is necessary to keep the land busy
in two ways; first, by companion crop
ping, and, second, by following one
crop with another or successive plant
ing.
There are a number Of crops that
lend themselves to companion crop
ping. For example, where onion sets
are planted in rows, say Is inches be-
tween the rows, Il row Of radishes,
spinach, or lettuce can be drilled be-
tween the rows of onions and be off
the ground before the onions need the
space. Spinach, radshes, early beets,
or turnips can be planted between
carrots, parsnips, and satisfy. A crop
OF snap beans can frequently be
grown between the rows of tomatoes.
Radish seeds may often be planted
alongside row of peas, the radishes
being pulled and out of the way be-
fore the peas begin to climb the tre-
lis or brush provided for their sup
port or to spread over the ground A

WILL KILL GRAPE PESTS

cultivate the vineyard during early
June, the United States Department
of Agriculture advise. Spray the
vines as soon as adult beetles appear
with arsenate of lead, 1 1-2 pounds
powder or 8 pounds paste to so gal
Ions of water or so gallons of Bor-

present.
TO destroy the grape leafhopper,

VALUE OF A TECHNICAL

A technical education is the best
insurance against hard times. In

ed are the positions Of poverty and
obscurity.
Times are hard in South Caro-

at Clemson College is comparative

in the reach Of any ambitious
young man in South Carolina.
Scholarships, free tuition and
the payment by the United States

The dougbboy colony is in Scott

able to call the land their own in sew

years of war service to count on the
residence requirement.
Some of the men will spend the win
