If one side of your garden spot i*_i‘shaded” plant early maturing things, such as onions, rad ishes, Irish potatoes, on this side. 2. DON’T PLOW WET. Or hoe wet either! Dig up some dirt as deep as your plow or hoe would go. If It will pack into a ball when squeezed, it Is TOO WET. 3. Don’t crowd rows or plants. A given area of ground can sup port only so many plants. Nine out of ten city gardens are crowded hopelessly. Plant corn In rows 4 feet apart, and thin to one stalk every 24 inches. Plant other garden vegetables In n>WB to g fcgi apart. YOU WILL MAKE MORE. Col. Strong To Speak" To Kiwanis Club Col. P. D. Strong, commander of the R. O. T.

Parrott Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, will be held Friday evening, February 26, at eight o’clock in the Masonic building. 4. Don’t “hill up” your ground. Plant nearly on the levoL Toma toes should be below level. ' 5. Don’t depend on the “moon.” Plant when the temperature and moisture content of ground Is right. 6. Fertilise well. You can economically use 1 pound of “Victory Garden” fertilizer for each 10 feet of row length. This would be 10 lbs. in a row 100 feet long—or about 1400 lbs. per acre. When using fertiliser heavily, it should be mixed with soil so seed won’t come in close contact with it. After drilling ferti- • User run a furrow to mix with soil. M 7. Don’t waste fertilizer on a garden if you don’t like to work. It takes fortitude and aches and sweat to grow vegetables. But it’s fun if you have what It takes. 8. AGAIN—DON’T PLOW WET and DON’T CROWD YOUR ROWS. 9. You can get all the 3-8-7 Victory Garden fertiliser you need. You CAN GET SODA but you can do without It. Some of the best gardeners in town never used a spoonful even when it was plentiful. C-W-S GUANO CO.. INC.
