/ DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL, DOUGLASVLLLE, GEORGIA “FEED YOURSELVES ” BY PLANTIN6FALL G ARDEH An Eleventh Hour Call To Those Who Have Not Already Done Their Part To Help Feed The Nation In planting the fall garden there comes the last opportunity in 1917 to many of us to answer the call of President Wilson to help “feed the nation and the peoples everywhere who are fighting for their liberties and for our own.” Thousands and millions of men have changed from producers to consumers and with an •army in the field an abundance of supplies, especially foodstuffs, is the superlative need of our country. The most suitable crops for the fall garden, says Mr. E. Ragsdale of the College of Agriculture, are: beans (snap), beets, cabbage, carrots, col- lards, celery, kale, kohl-rabi, lettuce, mustard, onion (seed), rape, rutabaga, spinach and turnips. Carrots and beets may be planted to within six weeks of frost. The beets may be used for pickling or may be left in the garden to be used as needed. Mustard, spinach, kale and turnips are good greens and may be sown any time during the fall. Rape, a good green also, should be sown in : soil during September. It may be used for grazing chickens and hogs. Cabbage may be set any time from July to December and those set in late fall and early winter are left to mature in the spring. Collards may be set any time during summer and fall to be used during winter. Snap beans is one of the surest crops and may be planted with seed ■from the early crops to within eight weeks of fiost. Lettuce may be grown in the open during the fall and in cold frames dur ing the winter. Onion (seed) may be planted in Oc tober and allowed to mature the fol lowing summer or may be used as bunch onions in the spring. The rutabaga should be sown July to September and used after frost. Careful preparation, fertilization and cultivation are just as necessary for the fall garden as for the spring garden. For any information regard ing the above crops write the Depart ment of Horticulture, Stat© College of Agriculture.

This covei crop helps to cut down the nitrogen bill if winter growing legumes are used; adds organic matter to the soil; and prevents washing in our hilly sec tions, says Prof. McHatton of the Georgia State College. If we can do so, it will be well to have hairy vetch as part of this cover crop. To go along with the vetch we should have either oats, rye or wheat. It takes about a bushel of grain seed and twenty pounds of hairy vetch to tsow an acre. Where used, the hairy vetch seed should be inoculated be fore planting. In North Georgia the cover crop should be sown about the last of September to the first of October. In Central Georgia it should be sown by the 15th of October In South Geor gia it may be sown as late as the last of October or first of November. Where orchards are on rolling land, it is well to sow this cover crop with au open-furrow drill. The open fur rows not only protect the grain, but are a great help in keeping the land from washing until the young grain can become well established. The value of a cover crop in an orchard cannot be estimated, as we have no way of knowing the monetary value of organic matter in the land. We know, however, it greatly improves the soil and will help us to make a crop of good fruit the following sea son. If the above mentioned seed cannot be obtained for sowing the cover crop, it would be a good plan to sow something under the trees,—turnips, rape, or anything that will grow through the winter, so that when plowing lime comes in the spring there will be something to turn funder.
