Hints to Gardeners
t by Harm Drewet
Vegetable Expert
Ferry Seed Institute
) ! —
Increasing Garden Yield
mo increase yield from the vege-
L table plot, the home gardener
should grow "combined cukurea."
Culture combination Is especially
recommended for those having lim
ited space for gardens.
The theory is to plant in closely
spaced adjacent rows vegetables
that are harvested at widely dif
ferent times, using one before the
other begins to mature. One pos
sible combination, for instance, Is
cauliflower, lettuce and radish.
Plant cauliflower early in rows
three feet apart. Between the cau
liflower rows plant lettuce and be
tween the rows of lettuce and cauli
flower plant radish. Radishes are
harvested early, then the lettuce
and later the cauliflower. Cabbages
could be substituted for the cauli
flower and spinach for lettuce.
Following are several other com
bined cultures recommended for the
very small home garden:
Plant carrots and parsnips in al
ternate rows two feet apart: be
tween the first two rows plant
radishes: between the second and
third rows plant lettuce and be
tween the third and fourth rows
plant spinach. Then repeat the In
ter-row sequence—radish, lettuce,
spinach—until enough of thorn is
planted.
Plant spinach in rows two and
one-half feet apart: between
spinach rows grow early radishes
in one or two rows. When the
radishes have been pulled, set pep
per plants between spinach rows.
They will be given room in which
to grow as spinach is cut for use.
Plant spinach in rows three feet
apart, use beets between the
spinach rows and radishes between
‘ the rows us beets and spinach.
Plant onion seeds early in rows
two and one-half feet apart, and at
the same time plant lettuce tn rows
between those of onion. Radish seed
may be sown between lettuce and
onion rows. Lettuce and radish are
harvested in time to give onions
needed space.

[Putting The Car In Shape
For Cold Weather Driving
By C. R. Strouse
Director, School of Automobiles,
International Correspondence Schools
WINTER is the automobile’s most 1
formidable enemy, but provided 1
the proper precautions are taken, it 1
is an enemy that can be rendered <
powerless to inflict serious damage.
It is essential, however, that these :
precautions be taken while there is ’
still time, if trouble and expense !
are to be avoided when winter really
gets into its stride. ■
Every motorist recognizes the :
necessity of adding anti-fieeze solu
tion to the cooling system, but de i
not forget to check the freezing
point frequently to make sure that
the solution is not being lost by ’
leakage or evaporation. A cracked
block or bursted radiator may be '
the penalty of forgetfulness.
Play safe with your lubrication.
Failure to change in time from sum
mer to winter motor oils causes
costly damage in the long run even
when it dees not lead to Immedi
ate trouble. It is good economy
to drain the oil frequently, instead
of trying to get everything you pos
sibly can out of it. Dilution ? troys
the body of the oil, and the grit
which gradually accumulates makes
it abrasive.*

fall in temperature. At zero degrees,
Fahrenheit, a battery lias oaiy about
half the strength it normally has
during the summer.
As the thermometer goes toward
zero, the oil in the crankcase and
on the piston walls thickens, making
it doubly dliUcult for the battery to
turn over and start the engine..
Also, in winter tho car lights burn
longer and the heater is switched
on most of the time. The battery is
further handicapped because much
winter driving is on short trips
which fail to bring the battery back
to full charge. ?
When water is added to the bat
tery in freezing ■weather, run the
engine for at least half an hour to
mix the electrolyte and avoid the
possibility that the water may
freeze. Freezing may crack the bat
tery case. Even if it doesn’t, it may
cause serious injury to the plates.
Clean and check spark plugs at
least twice during the winter. A hot
: park is needed to fire the motor in
cold weather. If a plug is weak, or
not operating, the result may be
that as much as one gallon in ten
of the gasoline is being wasted,
fl-nee this goes to dilute tbe oil in
’ the crankcase, the motorist suffers
I a double loss.

; COME writers have a tendency to
make too frequent use of the
comma, but how important the
comma can be is illustrated by a
document discovered a few years
ago in Spain, which seemed to show
that Sir Walter Raleigh was not, as
Is generally supposed, the first to
introduce tobacco to Europe.
The document was a will drawn in
the year 1523, more than half a cfen->
; tury before Sir Walter smoked his
first pipe. The testator named as one
of his heirs a man seemingly des
cribed as “Antonio, tobacco mer
chant of Lisbon.” Closer examina
tion of the will, however, convinced
scholars that the proper reading
was “Antonio Tobasso, merchant of
Lisbon.” Thus the placing of a
comma threatened to deprive
Raleigh of his fame as the patron
saint of tobacco.
