In sections where the weathef be comes extremely hot In summer and It Is not possible to keep garded crops growing, the land should be cleaned, replowed and kept stirred from time to time until conditions are suitable for the planting pf fall vegetables. Under ordinary conditions It is best to have some crop growing on* the soil, and If the period between ’the early spring vegetables and the fall vegetables Is sufficient, a crop of cowpeas should be prown upon the garden land.
