duce more than any other similar area.
To get maximum production, however,
1t is necessary to keep the land busy
all the time. This can be done two
ways; first by companion. cropping,
and, second, by following one crop
with another or successive planting.
There are a number Of crops that
lend themselves to companion crop
ping. For example, where onion sets
are planted in rows, say 10 inches be-
tween the rows, . row Of radishes,
spinach, or lettuce can be drilled be-
tween the rows Of onions and be OF

space. Spinach, radishes, early beets.
or turnips can be planted between car

seeds may often be planted Alongside

pulled and out Of the way before the
peas begin to climb the trellis Or
brush provided for their support or
to spread over the ground. A little
later in the season sweet corn or late
cabbage can be planted between. the
rows Of early Irish potatoes and make
considerable Of a start before the
Irish potatoes are dug.
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.
Plan Fall Gardens.
Fall gardens should in no case be
overlooked, especially from the Middle
states southwark. Paintings Of prac-
tically all the early spring vegetables
may be made from July to September,
according to locality, and be brought
to maturity before early autumn
frosts. By proper attention to the gar
den. fresh vegetables may be had
through period Of about 10 months
Of the year In the extreme south and
for about months In the middle sec.

land and northwestern sections IL
necessarily much more limited, hut
even here the efficiency Of garden
can be greatly increased by careful
study and attention to the matter Of
companion cropping and successive
paintings Of certain vegetables. &
