One Of the latest to testify regard

ONE-TENTH ACRE IS ENOUGH
According to Agricultural Specialists

Many Large Cities.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Home vegetable gardens will be just
as important in stabilizing the food
supply in 1921 as they have been at
any time during the past few years,
say garden specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Urgent need for increased production
Of food during the war caused thou
plant gardens, which resulted in es-
tablishing the gardening habit. This
year, specialists say, home gardens
will play an important part in thrift
and economy. Thousands Of acres of
uncultivated land in and about many
large cities will be utilized this year
to furnish employment and recreation
to home gardeners who know that by
raising their own supply Of vegetables
they can materially reduce their liv-
Ing costs.
Enough for Average Family.
One-tenth Of an acre of fairly good
ground-a square about 65 feet each
way-will supply the greater part of
the vegetables needed by the average
family, say garden specialists of the
department. The cost of all seeds
and fertilizers for a garden of this
size should not exceed SIS to $1S, and
may not cost more than $5 or $40.
Experience has shown that not more
than 100 hours should be required for
planting and caring for a tenth-acre
garden. This time is so distributed
throughout the season that the work
can be easily done by most persons
working in factories, stores. or offices.
1t means an average of about five or
six hours a week for a period of 20
weeks or merely enough time for prop
er outdoor recreation and exercise
necessary for good health. More time
will be required early in the season
while the garden is being prepared
and planted than during the summer,
when not more than two or three
hours a week will be necessary to
keep the garden in good condition.
A little time during mornings, eve
nings, and on holidays spent in the
garden is a good investment. A gar
den is like farm, however, in that it

BEST VEGETABLES TO PLANT
Many Beginners Make Mistake OF
Planting Everything in Cata-
Ioaue-PuIverize Soil.

Some beginners in gardening be-
come very enthusiastic in early spring
when they look through seed cata-
logues. They have a desire to plant
every kind of vegetable elaborately
described and favorably illustrated.
AS a rule not more than Is or 20
kinds of vegetables should be planted
in the average home garden, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Few beginners
also realize the Importance Of we'll
prepared seed beds. Pulverize the soil
as deeply as it is plowed. If the soil
is coarse and lumpy, even though its
surface is we'll broken up, the plants
will not thrive. Large air spaces in
the soil are injurious, but great num-
Der of small ones are beneficial.

given it. A well-cared-for garden will
produce much higher yields than one
which Is neglected. The average re-
turn in money value from tenth-acre
plot of ground usually is about $85
for a season.
Fresh Vegetable Supply.
Plenty Of fresh vegetables direct
from the garden to the table is of
vastly greater Importance than the
money value, the cutting out of mid
dleman's profits or transportation
problems. The question of saving and
cost, however, may prove a very i'm
portant factor before the close Of an
other year. Already there is much
unemployment of labor and the local
or home production of foods in the gar
den is the surest way of safeguarding
the family food supply. 1t is said that
the farmers of the country could cut
themselves off from the rest Of the
peopIe and live comfortably for an
Indefinite period, because they can
produce practically everything that
they need. Gardens furnish an i'm
portant part of the living of families
on farms and the same principle will
apply to people who live in cities,
towns, and villages who have access
TO a small tract of land on which to
grow a garden.
There is nothing connected with the
work of cultivating garden that has
q tendency to injure the health unless
overexertion is INDUCED in. Persons
who habitually work indoors should
be rather careful when they first be-
gin working in the direct sunshine.
When the work is first started the
muscles are stiff and weakened from
inactivity and it is necessary to go
slowly until they get into play.

AS the object of parcel post deal

1t is not likely, at least not for
some time to come, that eggs will be

Water Power Put to Good Use.

An interesting example of the de-
velopment of water power is reported
from Cashmere. There the Jhelum
river has been made to generate elec-
trical power to deepen its own chan
mel. and so prevent the overffowing of
100000 acres of land, which are thus
made available for agriculture. The
fact that no coal was available, and
that the site was 200 miles from the
nearest railway station, made the use
of water power imperative in this
case.
