' Fanners like to cultivate their crops on a sunny day because the weeds soon die when turned out in the sun. It’s the same with gardens, so don’t let hot weather chase you out \>t the vegetable garden. The weeds must be kept down regardless of heat because they take nourish ment from the soil as well as mois ture that the plants need. By now the early peas have fin ished bearing, so pull up the vines, work up the soil and sow sweet corn for a late crop. Select a medium early variety for this planting. If you soak the seed in water over night it will germinate quicker. It’s a good idea to sow a row of string beans for a late crop, t6o. This year it’s important to keep tfcr gar dens growing just as long as pos sible so let’s keep planting until we’re sure vegetables can’t mature before frost. A second planting of beets will give you tender baby beets for table use in the fall and larger beets for winter storing. In the flower garden July is a good time to sow calendula seeds. These flowers like the cool nights of late summer and early fall. You will find that you have more and larger blossoms until frost from this, plant ing than if you try to keep the first planting producing throughout the season. When you water the garden do it Henry W. Seymour Passes At Home Henry W. Seymour, 56, died sud denly at. his home near here Friday afternoon. He had been in declining health three years.

If plants show signs of wilting, water well and put a mulch of lawn clippings around the roots and they will quickly revive. Iris can be divided and reset now. If you find any indicaition of the bor er; cut the place carefully away and dust the cut with sulphur before re planting. Iris rot should be treated the same. Be sure not to plant the rhizome too deep, leave about half of it uncovered with soil. Ordinarily iris requires very little care, a well- drained place in the sun is all they ask. If clumps become over-crowded they should be divided, leaving «not more than three rhizomes in the re set clump. • Ih the house we must continue to save our tin cans.
