RKAME, Dniggisr and Druggist Everywhere Suggestions For Its Success Clemson College.—The far-reaching value of the garden in oiir national food supply makes It imperative that all gardeners, large or smalf/plan a careful rotative system to use wisely all garden space that can be worked. The actual need under normal condi tions, combined with the present food shortage, demands that we produce a larger garden crop than ever. Ordi- nafrily, the average Southern garden is a spring, or one-season producer, few vegetables being available after this period. Therefore, great care and Judgment should be exercised in mak ing consecutive plantings of our more common vegetables, to furnish a sea sonal supply with the necessary can ning surplus. The fundamental principles in good ^gardening are: (a) site and soil selec tion; (b) advanced planning; (c) deep and thorough preparation of the soil; (d) Judicious liberal application of fer tilizers; (e) careful selection and lib eral planting of seed; (f) thorough cultivation; and (g) insect and dis ease control. SITE AND SOIL SELECTION: Or dinarily the site and soil conditions, especially of the city and urban gar dens, are pre-determined by the loca tion of the home and the lack of gar den space; but, conditions permitting, the site should be a southern, eastern, or southeastern exposure, and should have ample sunlight and a well-drain ed, easily tilled soil. GARDEN PLACING: Advanced planning should include' every detail of the garden, and cannot be too strongly emphasized. The method of cultivation is usually determined by the size and shape of plot. The one- fourth acre or larger garden gives op portunity for horse cultivation; the one-eighth acre or smaller plot, for hand cultivation. Those vegetables that can be dried, stored or canned, should have preference over short-sea son vegetalrtes, such as lettuce, rad ishes and mustard. Under present conditions, the chief purpose of the gardener should h? to produce as much real food as possible. SOIL PREPARATION: Deep and thorough working of the.soil piBpar- atory to planting is of vital impor tance in growing any crop, and most especially is true of the garden crops. Garden soils should he thoroughly turned or spaded, followed by consecu tive harrowing or raking, until the seed bed is thoroughly pulverized. Best of judgment must be exercised not to cultivate the soil when it is too wet. .or the texture will be greatly in jured and its value as a garden soil decreased. FERTILIZERS: A successful gar den must he fertile. Liberal applica tions of both commercial fertilizers and barnyard , manures should be giv en. The animal manure will assure a good supply of potasty, which is fa vorable to the growth of most vege tables. A fertilizer containing S per cent available phosphoric acid, 4 per cent nitrogen and no potash, applied at the rate of 800 to 1,000 pounds per acre, will give good results when the physical condition of the garden soil has been corrected by the addition of barnyard manure. If woods soil, rich in organic matter, is used instead of manure, we suggest the use of a com plete fertilizer analyzing 8 per cent available phosphoric acid, 4 per cent nitrogen and 4 per cent potash, ap plied at the rate of 800 to 1,000 pounds per acre. If no organic matter is add ed, the 8-4-4 fertilizer should be ap plied at the rate *of 1,200 to 2,000 pounds per acre. Fertilizers, applied either in the drill or broadcast, should, be thoroughly mixed with the soil; to prevent the seeds or plants from being seriously injured by burning. SEED SELECTION AND PLANT ING: The use of scant quantities of cheap, poorly selected seed often causes a great reduction or an entire failure In a crop. The necessary sup ply of well selected, standard grown seed 'Sfi'buld be purchased at an early date from-a reputable seed dealer. CULTIVATION. AND CONTROL OF PESTS: ■ Frequent and thorough cultivation should be practiced. .Shal low cultivation should be gfven as soon after each rain as soil conditions will permit. . The expense of preventing and con trolling insects and diseases is small confpared with the value of the gar den crop.

A troublesome phase this problem is lasting fence poets. Long-lived fence posts can easily bn made from most of the common infer ior woods by a simple preservative treatment on the farm. Properly creosoted, these non-lasting woods make posts good for 15 to 20 years, says W. R. Mattoon. Extension ^Spe cialists in Forestry. Kinds of Wood to Use. Most of our common woods readily take in creosote, a product of the dis tillation of coal which makes wood fiber very resistant to fungi, or rot, and to practically all forms of animal life which injure wood. Sap pine, soft or red maple, black gum, sweet gum, beech, red and black oaks, cotton wood, willow, the poplars, are good examples of non-lasting woods which are easily treated, the wood becoming the container for the preservative fluid, Because of cross bands of tis sue of the various white oaks, they are unsuitable for treating. The more lasting woods (black locust, red cedar, mulberry, chestnut, black walnut, osage orange) do not justify the ex pense of treating for the slightly in creased lasting qualities. Woods difT'*r in checking or split ting when in ordinary use as fence posts. This is important, since such openings allow the entrance of wood- rot, ing fungi to the inner portions of the untreated wood, For example, black gum, due to it« interlocked, twisted fiber, has proved an exceed ingly satisfactory wood for treatment. The bay of the southern swamps “checks” badly, giving poor results even in the first 3 to 8 years follow ing treatment. Method cf Treating. Posts 3 to -4 inches in diameter are sufficiently strong for line posts. Small posts require less creosote, and last practically as long as large ones. Round posts are better for treating than split posts. It is very important to have the wood thoroughly seasoned. The posts should be cut. completely peeled, and open piled in a dry situation well ex posed to sun and wind. Peeling is most easily , done in the spring sea son, always immediately after the tree is felled, before cutting it up into post lengths.. Patches of the thin Inner bark, if left, retard or prevent locally the desired impregnation of the wood with the preservative liquid. A spade forms one of the best toels for peel ing. In late fall and early winter, especially in dry situations, it may be necessary to use an ordinary draw knife. Tops of the posts should be beveled to shed rain water. Posts should be cut to allow only about 3 inches above the' top wire. Posts with long tops are unsightly And more costly in wood used and treatment. A light crosscut saw avoids waste in chop ping. and makes smoother ends. A satisfactory treating equipment for farm use consists of one cylindri cal galvanized steel tank 3 feet In diameter by 4 feet high, and one hori- xontal rectasgular steel tank 3 by S feet. The treatment consists of soak ing the butts in hot creosote (about 200 to 215 degrees F.) for one to two hours, depending upon thf3 density of the wood and time required to get a <^eep penetration of the creosote, and then immersing che whole post in s ‘>:old” bath, at a temperature of 90 to 11£ degrees F The butts should be treated for s height of one foot above the ground line. The tops thus get only a shal low treatment but sufficient to make them last as long as the butts. Cost of Treatment. A gallon of creosote will treat 3 posts, 3 to 4 inches across the top, or 3 posts 4 to 5 Inches. In ordinary times a high grade of creosote can be purchased for 15 to 20 cents per gallon in barrel lots delivered. War time made it cost from 30 to 35 cents. Depending upon the size of, the post and price of creosote, this is a cost., for creosote of from 5 to 15'-cents per post, or average of 10 cents. Other Items of cost for the peeled post should not be over 5 • cents ■apiece, and for overhead charge on equip ment about 2 cents, or if labor for treating'the post is included about 3 cents, bringing the total cost to an average of- about 20 cents.. This would Tall to about 15 cents under or dinary pre-war prices for material and labor. * *T'■ue Cost. But the true cost of fence posts' on the farm shoyld be reckoned in terms of cost of Jhe' post plus cost of labor jn replacement If treated posts are good for\ 15 years, at lea>,t two sets of ordinary untreated posts and two renewal operations ar 5 e eliminated. Three complete settings of untreated posts would certainly-be .very consid erably more expensive than one oper ation with treated posts.
