“Your country needs you!’

A half-acre garden, which is a plot about 200 feet long by 100 feet, will yield more vegetables than the average family can consume during the growing period of the crops, and provide enough of a surplus for winter storage and preserving. T! plot is large enough to yraw quite a variety of small fruits, such as berries and a lew tree-. Planning is needed, of course. There must be rotations and the cultivation needs to be of the Intensive sort. The suburbanite with a smaller space will do •arell to confine his effort* to those vegetables in which freshness is an important table qual ity. leaving such erupt as potatoes, squashes and melons which require -i large area in proportion to their yield, to be purchased from the store. In other words, as good potatoes can be bought as < . n be grown: but the cannot be said of peas, string beam, and such like, which lose much in flavor If they are not cooked nmost immediately after they art picked. The home gardener should devote a portion of his space to little beds of parsley, chives and other herbs, rhubarb. horseradish and artichokes, those specialties which require little room and no particular trouble to raise and which provide the housewife with most welcome additions to the table, especially If they can be gathered at a moment's notice. How to Lay Out Garde" In laying out a garden, bear In mind the need of sunlight*. Tri-es and bushes, also plants which nvtke a high growth causing heavy shade, should not be located where they will interfere with sun-loving plants. On this account it is well to plant the tallest things at the north side of the

garden.

Corners or boundaries make the best places for perennials, because they require very little cultivation. Fences make excellent lielllse* for grapevines and dwaned fruit trees. hedge can be made of currant bushes and the like. Give ’he strawberry patch enough room to take care of runners for transplanting. Leave ample space between rows of blackberries for harvesting the fruit. These plantings have a way of becom'ng a tangle unless kept under control of the pruning knife. A spade or spading fork, hoe, rake, dibble o: trowel and hand-wheel cultivator are the essential tools for small garden. Unless the plot is very smal' It will pay to bar.’ the ploughing done by a horse, also the harrowing. Spading the garden is very arduous and not as likely to result in good work as ploughing. Plant for a Continuous Supply The eat ire supply of seeds of such egetables as corn, peas, string beans, lima beans, lettuce and radish should planted at one time. Make sue cessive planting two or three weeks apart, so that a fresh supply of the egetables may be had throughout the season. Unless the home gardener plans to have a hotbed or loldframe. It ill pay him to buy plants for the tomatoes, peppers, egg-plants and cab-
