potatoes. and these are generally rath-
err rich in potash. How much fertli-

A definite plan for the garden
should be drawn on paper before any
planting is done. suggest garden spe-
cialists of the United States Depthe-

certain crops. especially those that re-
quire large amount of sunshine. Out
line the garden plan on paper and
sketch in the crops that are to be
planted upon each part.

The greatest mistake a business
house can make today is to cut down

sales are slow and if YOU want to cut
space do 1t when sales are good
