E. Schillotter, extension horticulturist, givb?<g recommendations for cultivation and planting in April. "Vegetables that were planted in February arxi March, such as beets, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, kale, lettuce, mustard, i>ea.s, spinach, etc., need to be cultivated frequently and thoroughly with a wheel hoe," advises Mr. Schilletter, "and they should be given u side dressing of nitrate of soda scattered between the rows. In order to have an unbroken supply, make another planting of the vegetables planted during March. "Tomato plants should be transplanted to other boxes und frames and each plant given room to grow stout-stemmed and stock rather than long-legged. When they are abbut eight inches from root to top, set the tomato plants in oj>cn ground with half the stem below the surface of the ground so lliat roots will be deep enough to resist drouth, "Make plantings now of the following varieties; "Beans: Giant Stringloss Green Pod and Bountiful. Pole Beans; Kentucy Wonder, McCaslan. Lima Beans: Henderson Bush Lima or Wood's Prolific, (pole), Carolina Pole or Seiva Bean. Squash: Early White Bush, Giant j Summer Crook Neck. Cucumber: Improved White Spine, Green Prolific Pickling. Okra: Perkins, White Velvet. (x>rn: Sto well's Evergreen, Country Gentleman, Golden Bantam. "Transplant tomato, sweet potato, eggplant, pepper to open field after April 15," concludes the specialist.

That's the average mileage, shown by scores of reports from leading cities, of stock Terraplanes in nation-wide economy tests held just last month. And some of these cars went over 25 miles per gallon! In everyday driving, of course, you don't expect the kind of gas mileage you can get under test conditions ? bu4 even in city traffic Terraplane is also the outstanding economy car. Thousands of sworn statements from actual owners prove it. Ruggedness Saves in Upkeep, Tool But these affidavits also show an even more important saving from Terraplane ruggedness. Hudson's way of building automobiles?with America's only bodies all of steel, the greater ruggedness of Terraplane chassis and higher quality of materials throughout ? means longer life and lower upkeep cost. What other car can pile proof of economy on more proof, as Terraplane does for you? Drive a Terraplane, soon. Compare other lowest price cars with it. Then decide.
