GARDEN STORY—1941
Last fall after the frost had
killed the vegetables (that
couldn’t endure the frost) I burn
ed all the rubbish from my gar
dens; broadcasted a heavy cover
ing of stable compost; and had it
plowed deeply before the winter
rains set in. I find that thorough
fall plowing is very beneficial for

Also if the rows are bedded up
you can plant seeds earlier in the

enough to plow up thoroughly.
Before the frost I gathered all
matured vegetables which lasted
for quite a while. I packed all my
large tomatoes in dry saw dust
and used the small ones for pick

In the fall I always make a
compost heap from the leaves in
my yard and stable compost.
The first of January I check
over my seed I have saved from
the best plants and then get my
new seed catalogues and order
what I know I will need, after I
have planned my garden. Of
course, by buying them in a quan
tity I can get a discount on each
dollar. I have found that the
varieties of seed recommended by
Mother Walker’s and Mr. Schil-
letter’s monthly garden letters are
by far the best to plant. I have
tried other varieties but haven’t
been as successful with them.
I had my hotbed aqd cold
frames ready for early planting
for since we have had the long
drought for the past few years it
is most important to get out the
plants early and get them well
matured before the drought sets
in. Constant cultivation is very
necessary during a drought.
I have thf pipes made to put in
the irrigation system in part of
my garden in a short time and I
feel that it will be very beneficial
next year.
During the drought I continu
ously planted vegetables and by
pouring plenty of water into the
furrow was able to get the seed
up. Sometimes I had to shade
the tender plants a few days.
I don’t plant the same vege
tables two years in succession on
Hie same land. All my garden
land produces two or three crops
each year.
I planted 29 varieties of vege
tables and canned 20 different
kinds of vegetables.
I used the steam pressure cook

Six Inch Sermon
BY REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
Jesus Appoints and Teaches the
Lesson for February 22: Luke 6:
12-26.
Golden Text: Matthew 5:16.
This is the birthday of a man
whom God certainly called into a
great service—George Washington.
The lesson tells of men who wer2
called, ages before, into great
service. After a night spent in
prayer, Jesus called twelve men
to be his apostles.
All but Judas were men of Gali
lee. They had not been great men
but under the tutelage of Jesus
they attained, with the exception
of the traitor, unto the greatness
of men whom God could use.
Should not this be the greatness
to which every wise man shouH
aspire? t
The book title, “Training of the
Twelve,” suggests that the apos
tles needed training. They learned
that I use it, that Chilean Nitrate j much frpm being with Jesus,
of Soda is the very best fertilizer Many a man would confess that
he has forgotten much that some
