Garden Month This Is our best Victory garden month. All firm people are asked to produce more food than ever before. Every city family is also called upon to produce all possible. Since fresh green vegetables are an essential part of our daily diets and supply us with vitamins and since the normal commercial sup ply may be short, it becomes a public duty as well as a necessity for all who can to grow as much of .the vegetables needed fbr the family as possible. Plant those kinds of vegetables that are liked by the family in quantities that can either be eaten fresh or con served for the comlhtf winter. In order that a continuous supply of vegetables may he had throughout the summer, repeated planting of cer tain vegetables may be made every few wt'eks. It is time now to make plantings of the following: Snap beann, lima beans, squash, cucumbers, okra and corn. Snap beans, I'ma beans, tomatoes, corn and feas lend themfelves well to successive plant ings. This is the time to transplant to matoes, sweet potatoes, egg plant and pepper. Before pulling these plants from the hot bed, water the bed thoroughly and a lot of the soil will cling to the roots of the plants.
