Fall Garden Hints Made By Clemson Clemspn College, Sept. 22.-?Continued cultivation and other attention to fall garden crops must be given for best results, says A. K. Schilletter, extension horticulturist, giving various suggestions. Keep up cultivation. When you quit, the vegetables will quit. Work out the strawberry patch, cultivj^gi thoroughly and fertilize. Hank celery for blanching, but take care not to get earth into the hearts of the plants. '? Kale is one of the hardiest crops we have for greens. Seed sown now will supply the kitchen from Novembon until well into spring. Mature green tomatoes properly stored just before frost kills the leaves will furnish slicing tomatoes far into the winter. Cultivate and fertilize the vines now and keep in good shape until frost. Dig swegt potatoes before frost or continuedke^ld weather approaching frost. Tne prevalent idea that the vines should be frosted before the potatoes are dug is wrong and the practice dangerous. Make plans to select your seed at digging time. <? In South Carolina when you say "greens" you mean turnip tops. The domestic science folks tell us we should also use spinach for greens, because it contains more iron than any other vegetable. Spinach is an especially good addition to the diet of children. Don't fail to try the new Japanese Foliage Turnip, sometimes called Shogoin and Tendergreen or Mustard spinach. Both of these Vegetables are very fast, vigorous growers when the season is at all favorable. They are also very resistant to plant lice. General News Notes H. K.
