As a rule, vegetables, grown in this

Many progressive gardeners now produce
two crops annually of certain vegetables

with an old saw to make I8-inch widths
of paper for the narrow-row vegetables.
The best plan i'll applying the paper is
to insert an old broom handle in the open
core of the roll, fastening the free ends
of heavy wire or cord to the ends of
the handle. The broom handle acts as
roller. Grasping the improvised han
die at the center, the gardener walks
down the middle of the row, applying
the mulch as he goes. The first strip of
paper is applied as a border along one
side of the garden. Then the second lap
of paper is laid, leaving two-inch space
of exposed soil surface between the two
strips of mulch material; it is the plant
row. As each inter-row space is papered,
clods of dirt, loose soil, or rocks are
placed as weights at intervals to hold
the paper in position against wind. With
out much trouble you can make staples
of number 10 galvanized wire as wide
as the width of the row and with prongs
six to eight inches long which can be
thrust into the soil to hold the paper in
position. Similar staples can be made of
lathe or strips nailed to stakes driven in
the ground.
The paper mulch warns the soil I'M
derneath the cover and facilitates excep-
tIonally early planting. The gardener
who has already planted his garden old
fashioned style may still be able to shift
to the paper system by applying this
mulch when vegetables are from several
inches to SIX or eight inches high. Even
when applied late, the paper will pay in
the cultivation labor it saves and the eff
ficient use which it makes of the light
rains and heavy dews. Seeding plants,
such as tomatoes, sweet potatoes, cab
bage, and the like, may be planted
through small holes cut In the paper.

plot" These results emanate from gov
ernmental experiments at Arlington
Farm, Virginia.
Mulch paper prevents Strawberries,
canteloupes, watermelonS, tomatoes,
squash, and pumpkins from coming into
direct contact with the soil. The use of
paper accompanies increased yields. You
will be safe in estimating an increased
return OF from 80 to so per cent in vege-
tables when you mulch with protective
paper as compared with the ordinary
soil-mulched method. You will find the
"papered' green vegetables superior in
quality to millrun stuff you formerly
grew.
Good Five Years
Paper-mulch gardening favors inten-
sive cultivation and the efficient use of
all the soil surface for food production.
inter-row crops will succeed better than
ever previously in your gardening expe-
renee. Beets, carrots, and spinach can be
raised satisfactorily between rows of
corn, beans, squash, and other wide-row
crops. You can yoke the ordinarily
wasted fencerow space under the paper
protection system for service by planting
pole beans, English peas or similar climb
ing crops which require support and BY

this intensive use of the garden area, YOU
Will be able to raise sequence of gar

must be replaced the sixth year. Where
1t is used, one blowing suffices for five
years. Annually after the first season, the
gardener must stir the soil in the plant
rows with hoe or garden trowel. 1t is
advisable to fertilize plant rows with
well-rotted and pulverized manure or
commercial fertilizer. That
liant food will speed early growth.

Easy to Weed

The plant rows, not being protected
with paper mulch, will produce some
weeds. Hence, you may have to spend
an hour or so, once every ten days walk
ing along the rows and pulling those
weeds by hand. If you will be pcrsistant
in that practice, you will have NEEDLESS

clods which hold it in place, serve as a
carpet upon which you can walk with

these paths" enable you to harvest
vegetables despite the weather.
Where you practice the paper-mulch
system you will not be troubled nearly
as much as formerly by vagrant birds
seed-stealers whose activities jeopardize
the stand. Apparently, the mulch serves
as an unofficial scarecrow.
With the paper-mulch garden there
is no<longer need for the average house
wife or farm wife to play the role of
hoeman during the hot of the day when
she should be resting.
