speaker said in part: "The cost OF
the vegetables consumed by an aver
age family represents Is per cent OF
its grocery bill. The Importance of
fresh vegetables is fast being recog-
nized. Certain elements Of food can
not be supplied otherwise. In the
freshness of vegetables there Is added
value. In two days from the time Of
picking, 80 per cent Of the sugar OF
sweet corn Is re-absorbed by the cob.
Large-sized peas. string beans, carrots
and many other kinds of garden prod
uce are less valuable than when small
err. As far as possible it is important
that every man be his own green gro
GER There are three fundamental re-
auirements for a good garden, good
soil, good seed and good culture. The
best land available should be used Tor
the garden The soil should be light,
rich and well situated, for the faster
plant can be grown the better It y
as food. In general fall blowing in
creascs the water holding power Of
the land, helps kin weeds and makes
possible the earlier working OF the soil
in the spring. In cultivation, the use
OF the rake is more valuable than that
of the hoe. Cultivation should contin-
ne frequently through the season. The
planning of the home garden was dis
cussed, also good suggestions on land
scape gardening.
