Drainage is important in the success
of a garden, SO avoid a plot that's in
clined to be very wet or one where water
stands on the ground or washes down
from above.
Still another point to consider in
selecting a garden plot is its nearness
to your home-the closer, the better,
because you'll want to work in the gar
den every day. and, if it's too far from
home, you'll be tempted to neglect it.
Of course all this talk about what to
look for in q garden plot isn't intended
10 discourage you from having a garden.
On the contrary. it will help you judge
thu good and bad features OF the avail
able land and 50 help select the best
possible plot and it will keep you
from making the mistake Of beginning
. garden If the only land you can get
actually is undesirable.
This year gardening involves more

victory garden, 1t was too late to begin
one. Then they spent the summer envy
ing those foresighted neighbors who did
grow their own" If this happened to
you, your minds probably made up that
youll have a garden of your own this
summer, so you can enjoy fresh, health
ful vegetables and have enough to can
for ration-free meals next winter.
If that's what you've decided-finei
what this country needs is more victory

millions of them this year. Every bit

the heavy wartime burden on CONNER
cial food supplies. But-before you be-
gin = garden, make sure your plans are
based on more than = passing enthusi-
asm. Make sure that il you begin, you'll
follow through. In wartime, the energy,
time and materials that go into . garden
are all too valuable an investment to be
squandered.
First of all, ask yourself, Shave i

even working outside your home part
or full-time. And you know vegetables
seeds-unlike Topsy-don't "just grow"
So unless you are prepared to give a
garden the attention it needs-about IN

you won't do justice to your invest
ment in materials that 60 into your
garden.
Another factor is the location Of your
garden plot. Farm families usually
have the pick Of several pieces Of land,
but the own or city gardener rarely
has much choice. Usually he or she
must take what is in the back yard, or
in q nearbycommunity garden or vacant
lot. II this is true with you, study your
lot carefully to see that it will give
worthwhile returns for what you put
into it.
The things that make a good garden
plot are sunlight reasonably good
soil . fairly level location . and
good drainage.
Most vegetables need at least 8 hours
Of sun ad day. If your lots in between
buildings, or if it is wooded, so
the sun shines on it six hours or less,
don't expect much success with such
crops as tomatoes, elephants, peppers,
and lima beans. The leafy crops-let-
tuce, spinach and the like-will tolerate
a little shade better than the fruit-and-
seed bearing crops.
Thin stony soil, or heavy, clay-ey soil,
is typical of many town and city lots.
Such soil may be hard to work, but you
can use it. However, if your lots been
filled up with excavation dirt, or trash,
it's not likely to produce much. and
you'll do well to try to find another
location for your garden. One way to
| Judge a vacant lot is by the wild growth
| on tiff weeds or grass grow rank and
thick, the soil will probably make a
good garden.
While it's best to have a level gard On,
it's not essential. However, sloping
ground will take more work and care on
your part to keep the soil and c ops
from washing.
