Advises Planting
Good Garden
BY CHARLES ID. RAPER

BY CHARLES ID. RAPER
A well-planned vegetable gard
en- pays off in profits for you
through real savings on "store
bought" foods. By planning gar
den, you can harvest something
every month of the growing sea-
son-not just radisheS in May and
corn and tomatoes in August.
Planning also can save YOU
money by insuring you against
planting too much of one thing
more than you could consume dur
ing the year. Much of what you
plant depends, of course, on what
you like.
Say you have small garden
5OXl0O feet. which is an average
size garden. The layout for a gar
den outlined below will give you
nice variety of vegetables thro-
ughout the season. You can mod
ify this example to suit yourself
by inserting more of your parti-
cular likes and eliminating some
of your diSlikeS.
Noti.e that sweet corn is not
included. 1t takes up a good deal
OF space. If you want to plant corn,
make provision for it in the field
near The house. Sweet corn also
makes a good corn to hog off after
roasting ears are gathered. If you
like, it is best to plant it on one
side of the garden, since squash
tends 10 ramblc.
One packet of each of the direct
seeded vegetables will be suffici-
cnt for this size garden, and you
can obtain your tomato, broccoli.
cabbage and pepper plants from
a green house. Don't buy tn eSeed
they want TO sell you. Buy what
you want and call for it by name
Don't forget that vegetables arc
heavy feeders" and garden soils
are not the best in the field. Many
gardens fail because folks don't
realize these facts. Vegetables
need a good supply of plant food.
in addition, of course, to regular
care IN wedding, pest control and
watering when necessary. Plow-
ing is a 60-pound application of

insure an adequate supply of plant
nutrient elements to your growing
plants.
ence Act of 1914. Recognizing
that an economic loss is suffered
by those who serve their Coun-

gross cractod the law as a means
of preventing veterans seeking

during the months or years they
spent in service.
Preference does not have as its
goal he placement of a veteran

Eaying and the harvesting OF
bumper wheat crop seems to be
the order of the day at this time,
some folks reporting that they
had just put the last bale of hay
safely in the barn when the rains
descended on Saturday. Many of
our farmers report that they
have had to feed their winter
hay for some time as a result of
the continued dry spell. Corn and
many other crops are very late,
too.
Mr.. Ralph E. Dove is enjoying
his vacation at this time in the
traditional way by building pens
for his crop of young mink. Mink
are. quite interesting, since they
are one kind of animal that does
not respond to captivity by be-
coming tame and domesticated.
They are always more or less of
a vicious nature.

The evening Circle of Neels-

group met at the home of Mrs.
Ray Smith on Tuesday.
Miss Ruth LEM, daughter of
the Rev. and Mrs. A. R. LEM,
left on Monday for two weeks at
Camp MichauX, Pine Grove Fur
mace, Pennsylvania, under the
sponsorship of Presbyterian lead
ers. She has been eagerly antici-
pating this camping trip for some
weeks to again renew friendships
with many of the girls who have
attended camp here in previous
years.
There was great rejoicing over
the rain which accompanied the
terrific wind and hail storm
which broke the worst threat of
drought that has threatened our
county in many years, although
many trees were blown down and
many others were severely dam
aged by the heavy winds. Con-
siderable erosion was noted as
result of the unusually heavy
downpour. but there was no
serious damage other than some
broken windows.
The "blackout" lasted some
five hours and in some instances
longer. Qnuite a problem was
faced by most of our dairymen
who had to resort to hand milk
ing, some not getting finished
until Sunday morning. The tenn
perature, which had gone to 100
degrees, soon dropped to a more
comfortable IS or 80.
Preaching services at the Ger
mantown Baptist Church were
well attended on Sunday evening
as was the training union preced-

Simms, who is recuperating from
a broken lage came to swell that
class attendance to perfection. A
grab bag was presented to her
containing articles to be chosen
daily during her time of inactivi-
ty, these daily reminders of the
love from her many friends
greatly tighten the long hours.
Miss Olive I. Rawn, our visit
ing missionary from Africa,
spoke in Frederick, at the Youth
for Christ meeting on Saturday
evening. Again on Sunday eve
ming, Miss Rawn spoke at the
