Hints to Gardeners

Soil Study Important
A few minutes’ consideration of
. the condition and make up of
the soil in your garden just before
planting can make a marked differ
ence in your success as a gardener.
Clayey soils require the most
careful handling but are heavily
productive. Sandy soils arc “early’’
and sandy loams are just about
ideal for most home garden crops.
In some southern states two crops
niayy be yrinvii, one in fall and one
it? spring.
Peas, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli,
qauliflower. beets, carrots, radish
and onion prefer plenty of moisture
and moderately cool temperatures
during development. These should
be planted about as early in the
Fall as weather permits in order
that they may make their early
growth before cooler weather sets
in.
These plantings will yield an
abundance of produce for use dur
ing winter months. Some of these
vegetables may be planted again in
early spring for green spring vege
tables. *
The following vegetables are not
as hardy as those listed above and
arc better grown as spring crops:
Sweet corn, beans, tomato, pepper,
egg plant, cucumber, melons, squash
and pumpkin. They prefer abund
ant sunshine, and while they pros
per best when ample moisture is
available they are able to do well
during comparatively dry weather.
They do best on loamy soils, but
carefully prepared clay soils pro
duce splendid crops.
Herbs do well in comparatively
poor soil and maintain growth
under rather drouthy conditions.
Under tire same conditions, radish,
turnip, parsnip, salsify and other
root vegetables may be expected to
perform fairly well.
. If you must- do some of- your
gardening in ground that is semi
shaded, try growing beans, radishes
or peas. -

Hints to Gardeners
by Harm Drewet
Vegetable Expert
Ferry Seed Institute
Locate Crops Logically
TUNGS to remember:
If you have a choice of loca
tion for your garden, choose a place
where there is plenty of sun, away
from trees. Tree roots take nour
ishment from the ground and shade
the garden from the sun.
Work the soil deeply, malting the
top three or four inches as tine and
loose as possible.
If you have had little experience
and. wish to try vegetables which
are easiest to grow, plant radishes,
carrots, beets, Swiss chard and tur
nips. With a good-sized garden you
might also try spinach, peas, beans
and corn.
If your garden is small and you
want to get the most satisfactory
returns,- try. the following quick
growing vegetables: Radish, leaf let
tuce, beets, carrots, peas and beans.
You can replant most of these after
space has been made for them by
early harvest.
Try tearing just a corner from
the seed packet, and tap the seeds
into the drill or furrow.
For better germination, pour
water into »he drill or furrow just
before sowing. Use enough water
to moisten the soil«but not enough
to cause caking.
.Do not plant seeds deeper than
[ directed.
After planting, cover bhe seeds im
mediately, pressing the soil down
firmly. This brings seed into coiitact
with Ure soil particles and facilitates
growth.

T«E expression “nobody home” is
A undoubtedly slang when used to
denote stupidity. It is, however,
slang with the backing of Alexander
Rope, one of the most eminent of the
Eighteenth Century poets. One of
Pope’s famous couplets reads:
“You beat your pate, and
_ fancy wit will come:
Knock- as you please, there’s i
nobody at home.”

An eminent man may be a prom- 1
inent man, but a prominent man is j
not necessarily eminent. "Eminent” ;
is properly used in speaking of a I
man who ranks high in his proses- 1
sion er the office which he holds. A j
prominent man is merely one who
stands out from his fellows.

Mr. Farmer
Wheeler County, Ga.
Dear Sirs:-
The following points will further explain why some
of the benefits will be realized by the growers participating
in the “ONE VARIETY PROGRAM”.
This seed was developed by Daniel Coker, Hartsville,
S. C. The writer drove over to see the seed breeding plant
in Hartsville and talked with Mr. Coker and the specialist
in cotton seed developement. This particular variety is
claimed, and has proven to be the most wilt-resistant of the
staple varieties. It will make where ordinarily, the soil is
too wilty to make a crop. The staple is uniform, and has
been bringing one cent a pound premium. The yields have
been good, and under our conditions have been as heavy per
acre as the short staple varieties.
Since purchasing the foundation stock from Coker,
the seed has been kept absolutely pure. It has been gather
ed and ginned and stored under the very best conditions
possible. The Horseshoe Bend Farm is equipped with ample
facilities to insure this being done.
Marking of the selected hillls of cotton in the field
has been practiced, and only that seed from the select
bales of best cotton is being offered to the buyers Instead
of "breeding out” this selected seed is getting "bred up”
each season. We are now getting more boles to the hill and
more locks to the bole than when we started.
For the best proof, as to the merit of this cotton ask
the Wheeler County growers who have been growing it
the last two seasons. It has been proven here under local
conditions, by the cotton farmers to be good. There is no
ne d to depend on “what it might do elsewhere under other
conditions ', it has already shown up satisfactorily for two
seasons on farms within a hundred mile radius.

USE of superfluous words is fre
quent in both writing and con
versation. “Hollow tube” is a case
in point By its very nature a tube
is hollow; if it weren’t hollow it I
wouldn’t be a tube. “Actual fact”
is another example. That which is a I
fact is an actuality, and that which *
is actual exists in fact To write or !
say “It is an actual fact” is merely ;
using a superfluous word to con- i
vey the same thought.that "It is a
fact” conveys.
* * *
Modifying words, phrases and
clauses should be placed as close j
as possible to the words to which
they relate. When this is forgotten |
odd results are likely to follow, as
in the following sentence: “He car
ried a bag of peanuts in his hat
which he fed to the elephant." If
it was his hat that he fed to the
elephant, this is all right. Other
wise it is all wrong.
