KEEP THE GARDEN PRODUCING ALL THROUGH THE 8[ASON Ground Should be Kept Busy all the 'Time, Either by Companion Crop ping, by Following One Crop With Another, or by Successive Planting. Southern gardens begin to look seedy about June 10, gardens in the Middle States section are in the height of their glory, and the New England gardens are just getting well started. It seems to be a foregone conclusion on the part of most persons throughout the Southern States that southern gardens can be grown only in the spring and inl the fall, with a few chance hardly crops during the winter. The farmer of the middle section plants his spring garden, then gets busy with farm crops, and very little further attention is given the garden, unless the work is done by the women. In the New England States and parts of the northwest where the growing season is quite short only one crop of most vegetables can be grown. In the middle section, however, two crops can often be grown on the same land, and, more important still, a continuous supply of peas, beans, sweet corn, and a number of other vegetables can he had by making ruccessive plantings. Grow One Crop After Another The g*arden is generally the richest Spot of ground on the farm, and for that reason should be expected to pro .ince more than any other similar area. To get maxi imium produ'etion, however it is necessary to keep the land busy in two ways; first, by compani(on crop ping, and, second, by following one crop with another or success.;ive plant mng. There are a number of crops that lend themselves to compa nion crop ping. For example, where on ion sets are planted in rows, say I inches be tween the rows, a row of radishes. spinach, or lettuce can lhe drilled be tween the rows of onions and be off the ground before the onions need the space. Spinach, radishes, early beets, or turnips can be planted between carrots, parsnips, and salsify. A crop of snap beans can frequently be grown between fihe rows of tomatoes. Radish seeds may often be planted alongside a row of peas, the radishes being pulled and out of the way be fore the peas begin to climb the trel lis or brush provided for their sup port or to spread over the ground.

In the extreme South a few crops that will withstand the heat should be planted for midsummer use. Swiss chard, while adapted to a temperate climate, does fairly well under south ern conditions, and continues to pro duce greens throughout the greater part of the summer. Bussella, or New Zealand spinach, is adapted for the production of greens during the heAt ed period. In the middle section, early peas may be followed by late cabbage, late potatoes, late snap beans, beets, or turnips. Early Irish potatoes may be followed by turnips, late snap beans, or by late sweet corn. Fall gardens shouI in no ease be overlooked, especially from the Mid (lIe States southward. Plantings of practically all thi early spring vege tables may be made from July to September, according to locality, and be brought to maturity before early autumn frosts. By proper attention to the garden, fresh vegetables may be had through a period of about 10 months of the year in the extreme South and for about 7 months in the midlie section. The season for the New England and northwestern see tions is necessarily much more limit ed .but even here the efficiency of- a garden can be greatly increased by a careful study and attention to the matter of companion cropping and successive plantings of certain vege tables. Late cabbage seed should be sown about Ju ne I in most sections and the plants set in the garden June 20 to Julv 5. The last planting of sweet corn should be made about 80 days before the first killing frost of autu mn1ui may be expected. Most crops mature in a shorter period in the late summer than in the spring. This is due to the shortening of the days an(l the tendency of the plant to "hurry up'' to produce its seed before winter overtakes it. It pays to take a chance on late plantings of beets, carrots, lettuce, spinach, snap beans, sweel orn and turnips if yon like them. As a rule early or quick maturing varieties are best for late planting. This does not apply, however, to Gol den Bantam corn which does best in the spring. Evergreen or Mammoth Evergreen corn are considered best for late planting. , A Few Tricks Worth Learnig Plenty of fertilit yin the soil and a News LT )ept.

In sonic sections a little ni trate of soda is used as a top dressing to hurry the plants along. There are i great niany little tricks that should be learned and practised by the gardener. It is not necessary to be a wizard to practise these tricks but just a good, common sense gard ener. One of the best of these is the use of a board laid over the row of seeds for a few days after planting to hold the moisture and make the seeds start during dry weather. Another is to flood the furrow with water and al low it to soak into the soil before dropping the seeds t,hen cover with dry earth. Slightly packing or firm inc the dry soil over the seeds will hvlp to bring the moisture to the sur face and make the seeds grow.

The Ex tension Service horticulturists report thait there are now about 240 acres of peach orchards in the McBee com munity. 180 acres of which are new orchards set this year and 60 acres of old archards now in full bearing an( with a fine crop of fruit set and developing. Latest reports are that the last cold spell, which killed much fruit in various parts of the state, did little damage to the McBee peach orchards; in fact, some of the trees seem to have been benefitted by the cold weather, wvhich helped to thin the too heavy crop. To furthier in sure a fine quality of fruit many trees are being thinned followving a thinning dlemonstration by the Ex tension Service horticulturist. Some most encouraging advance p rices have been offered the growers by the buyers these pric'es running as high as $2.50 pier crate f. o. b. McBee plus one-half of any amount received over~ $2.50 after deduct ion of expenses. CL EMS SOUTH CAROLINA'S 4 1571 ACIWS OF" LANI).
