OF GARDEN SOIL
Intensive Farming Applies as
Well to Small Plot as to
the Large Tract.
EASY TO GROW VEGETABLES
Careful Gardener Can Find Room for
Additional Plants II Best Jud0-
ment Is Used in Plan
ming Seed Bed.

Intensive farming" long ago won
the 0. X. of the practical agriculturist
who found that it was to his financial
interest to make two or more grow
where one grew before.
The same rule applies, or should
apply, to the cottage gardener-the
fellow who has only a few feet Of
space, compared with the three or four
hundred acre farm.
It is Just as essential that the back
yard 'fence corners" be made to pro-
.duce as it is that the formerly I'M
used places on the farm be brought
into q state of production.
In the back yard of the majority OF
small homes, in both country and city,
there are spaces that have been
neglected because the man of the house
was not exactly in the mood of spad-
ing it up when planting time arrived.
Spading time should extend from the
time the one crop was garnered the
previous fall to the time when the soil
is actually prepared for the next sea-
son. Spading in the fall is not bad
idea. The leaves and other fertilizer
producing growths can be turned under
and also made to work for you.
Value of Rich Soil.
If YOU are fortunate enough to OBJ
tain a load or two of stable manure,
of course it is better to turn this
under in the fail and allow it to be we'll
rOtted by spring-and not blown away
by the winter winds. Although much
manure has large quantity of straw
mixed with it, the straw also enriches
the soil.
With the ground well cared for in
the fall before the freezing weather
starts, it is in condition to be brought
into the best producing state in the early
spring. when little. if any, spading will
be necessary to make the seed bed
and the worst Of the work is over and
the home gardener is happy with his
prospects.
Then-when actual planting time
comes-when the ground is warm and
there seems to be no danger Of frost
that is the time to make the most of
the situation.
No plants will do their best II
crowded, but there are many vegetables
that will do well by being planted
close together Those that require
most space should have all they need
but 1t is well to remember that some
OF the small vegetables that grow close
to the ground and are out Of the way
early can be grown between the larger
plants, such as tomatoes and beans,
which develop slowly.
When Crowding Can Be Done.
By exercising careful judgment
little more crowding may be done in

MINERS TRY FOR
new WAGE SCALE
Walkout Includes All Bitum-
nous and Anthracite
Fields.

Washington Approximately 100000
coal miners quit work Friday to en-
force new wage contracts. according
to union representatives from all BIZ
luminous and anthracite fields. The
idle miners include 100000 union men
and some 100000 nonunion men, ac-
cording to union tabulation.
A number of coal diggers in Illinois
and other places left the mines at the
close of work Friday, although the
strike. began officially at midnight
Friday
The federal government decided not
to take any action at present as the
situation was not deemed critical.
The only oasis in the strike area
was Kentucky, where 5000 union men
continue to work because their con-
tract runs another year.
Kansas miners were ordered out
despite an order of the industrial
court extending the present contract
a month.
Union officers ordered $4,000 men
property from damages incident to
incorporation.
In Canada the strike is expected to
be effective in the western provinces,
but not in the east.
Government reports indicate goodly
coal supplies are on hand estimated
to last 81 days in certain areas at
least.
Railroad officers asserted plans had
been made to suspend certain freight
trains. especially on coal roads.
1t is estimated that $4,000 railroad
MEM in Pennsylvania will be out OF
work as a result of the strike.

WHEN TO PLANT SWEET CORN
Ground Is Warm and No
Danger From Frost.

Sweet corn should be planted on rich
land and cultivated the same as field
corn. Plant the seed as soon as the
soil is warm In the spring, and make
successive paintings every two or three
weeks until late summer. The same
results can be obtained to some extent
by planting early, medium and lats
varieties. Plant the seeds about two
inches deep in drills three feet apart
and thin to q single stalk every 10 to
IA inches.
Sweet corn, when grown in the
South, passes so quickly from the milk
to the dough stage that care should
be exercised to gather the crop just at
the right time, in order to secure the
most satisfactory results. The flavor
of sweet corn depends upon its stage
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1922-04-08

of maturity and the method of han
ding the product from the plant to
the table Sweet corn loses its sugar
content very rapidly after being re-
moved from the stalk. 1t should,
therefore, be picked only few hours,
and preferably a few minutes, in ad
vance of the time when it is to be
placed in the pot.
Varieties recommended: For early
corn Golden Bantam and Adams
Early are suggested, and for medium
and late varieties Black Mexican or
White Mexican, Country Gentleman
and Stowell's Evergreen. The last
named variety has the largest ears and
is the most productive.-United
States Department of Agriculture.

BUILD ROADS IN WISCONSIN
Predicted That State Will Experience
Greatest Period of Activity Dur
ing 1922.

The state of Wisconsin for fifteen
years has been considered good roads
state. Highway building activity has
added vast sums of wealth to the
state. However, it is predicted that the
state will experience it's greatest period
of road construction in 1922. 1nforma-
ton emanating from the state high
way department of the Badger state
indicates that the construction of con-
crete roads in Wisconsin will probably
surpass that of 1921.

to TiIIers of Soil.

Garden dirt is the best pay dirt.
Don't be gutter, but plant a garden

Plan your garden to produce a SUR

Why not shade your back porch with

adapted for low. poorly drained land
on which common red clover refuses
