plants, tomato seed (for fall CROP, ed
ible %soybeans, okra, field peas, voter
melon. cucumber, cantaloupes, sweet
corn, pole snap beans, pole lima beans,
and sweet potato plants.
2. Don't cultivate a poor stand-plow
row, rebed and replant.
3. Prune and stake tomatoes. Side
dress tomatoes and pole beans with
nitrate of soda.
4. Dust vegetables to control insect
pests. Use derris dust for lice, Mex
lean bean beetle, bean leaf beetle. Gu
cumber beetle and pickle worm. Use
calcium arsenate for potato beetle, cab
bage worm, tomato fruit worm and other
chewing insects. Use cryolite for bis
ter beetle.
D. Harvest mature vegetables. Keep
dead plants pulled out of garden.
6. Cultivate regularly to control

II wet soil has prevented you from
making rows in the garden, then plant
the rows flat and work the row to tht
plants as you can. Some good gardens
seen this spring were planted flat. Tt
do this, take a string and stretch it in
the direction in which the rows are tt
run; h open the drill or make hill,
by the string. This will keep the row.
straight. As the soil dries out, the gar
dener-with a hoe or garden plow-car
