FALL AND WINTER GARDENS. Vegetables Adapted to Our Soil and Climate. Washington, D C, August 21:? Home gardeners in many sections of the South and Southwest where crops have been gathered or are now nearing maturity, need not reconcile themselves to the existence of bare or unproductive land from now until next spring, according to garden specialists of the U S Department of Agriculture. With judicious choice of crops and locations, they may /~V-4. , 1 plant seeds from now unui uciuuei or November and should, as a result, have fall, winter and soring vegetables. The successful fall garden is a possibilits, the department garden specialists say, with nearly all vegetables grown in spring and summer, in practically all parts of the Southern States, except in areas of high altitude, and in the more northerly portions of the region. In many sections of the South, tomato plants have succumbed to the strain of high temperatures and dryness. In some localities th?*y will live and continue to bear until fall, but in others they will not survive. A new crop should be planted now, <" 11 ... and it may be prontaoie LU II v me experiment of planting both in the open ground, where the plants are a to remain, and in frames for transplanting. The frames or beds should be located in a relatively cool, shady place. The same plan of field and frame planting may he used for cabbage seedings. With this crop promising results have already been obtained by planting several seeds in a hill and thinning to one plant. If the field planting should not survive, however, in some instances, the grower, it is pointed out, is protected by having on hand the framegrown plants. Ordinarily the seed -i?i.j wjjj Dro_ pianieu uncw w ? duce an earlier crop than seed planted in a frame and transplanted. Among the vegetables which may be planted at practically any time during the summer, with fair assurance of success, are beans. Bush squash may also be planted even in the hottest weather if they have not been made a part of the garden at an earlier season. With the beginning of August practically the entire list of ordinary vegetables is open to the fall gardener for choice. Beets, parsnips, carrots, celery, sweet corn, radishes, lettuce and peas may be planted at this time, many of them in succession crops at frequent intervals. Later in the month and during the early part of September, kale, spinach, mustard, turnips, collards and parsley may also be planted. During September onion sets should be put out and in October, and even later, onion seeds may be planted for a spring crop. Among crops of these late plantings which the southern garener will find available for winter use, are Vw>?tc. onH the other root crops, such UC^WO ?uu v?v _ as parsnips and carrots, and kale, collards, spinach and mustard. Many of the plants, he will find, may be carried by slight protection even :n? to quite cold weather without suffering damage, To the crops which will be carried over for development in the early spring should be added salsify or oyster plant, which may be planted practically any time during the late summer or early fall. The following specific directions for fall planting of certain seeds in the South have been prepared by the department's plant specialists: Beets:?Beets planted in the South in August and early September will produce a crop for late fall and early winter use. Where hand cultivation is to be given, sow the seed in drills 14 to 18 inches apart and cover to the depth of about 1 inch, m 1 f ho rnws should ror norsr tuimanuu v..^. . be feet apart. As soon as the plants are well established, thin them to a stand 2 to 3 inches apart. Give frequent shallow cultivation. The beets may left in the ground through the winter to be pulled when wanted. Varieties recommended: Crosby's Egyptian. Bassano, Early Eclipse, and Blood Turnip. Turnips:?Turnip seed may be sown during the latter part of August and throughout September and the first half of October. Sow turnip seed thickly in rows 15 to 18 iuches apari, anu vwien tne piaius reach a height of 4 or 5 inches begin thinning, using the >oung plants for greens. For good ruots thin the plants to about 3 inches apart in the row. Keep the land well culti~ - . i i vated to keep down ttie weeas ana to leave the surface loose and friable. In a small garden, cultivation with a hand cultivator is the most practicable. Turnips may be left in the ground until needed for the table, or may be pulled as soon as they are mature, and stored in a cellar or buried in banks or pits. The varieties of turnips commonly grown in the South are Purple Top Globe, White Globo,Seven Top,White Milan and Yellow Aberdeen. CoLLARDS:?Coiiards can be grown in the same way as outlined for turnips. Kai.e:?Kale can be grown in the open throughout the winter in prac-1 tically all seasons of the South. Sow the seed in September and October in drills 18 inches apart for hand cultivation, and 30 inches for horse cultivation. As soon as the plants reach a height of 4 or 5 inches they should be thinned. The plants pulled may be used for greens. The cultivation for kale should be the same as fur turnips. Varieties recommended: Dwarf Curled, Tall Scotch, and Siberian. Spinach:?Spinach is one of ihe best crops grown for greens and should be found in every home gar den. it can be grown in cne open during the autumn and winter in all sections south of Norfolk. Va. Sow the seed in the latter part of August, in September, or October, in drills 15 to 18 inches apart at the rate of one ounce to 100 feet of row. When the plants begin to crowd in the row they should be thinned. The larger plants are selected first, and the smaller or later ones are thus given room to develop. GAINED 15 POUNDS IN 10 DAYS ONTANLAC. Mrs.Tallant Was Soon Restored to Good Health, She Says. FRIENDS TALK OF HER CASE She Declares, "Tanlac Almost Worked a Miracle for Me and Deserves Highest Praise." To gain fifteen (15) pounds on one and a half (l?) bottles of Tanlac?10 days' treatment?and to be restored to good health is in itself a truly wonderful endorsement of the merits of this "master medicine". That is exactly what Tanlac?one and a half bottles of it?did for Mrs Annie Tallant of 1 Sixth street, Greenville, S C, she said in her statement endorsing Tanlac and telling of the remarkable way in nrUSrtV, if Taliavcul i>or t.rniihles. While Mrs Tallant told of the results Tanlac gave her, two of her sisters and her husband were present. Her statement, one of the most remarkable ever given Tanlac, follows: "My system was badly run down, and either that caused me to suffer with a lot of other ailments or the other ailments caused my health to become bad," said Mrs Tallant. "I could not sleep at all at night hardly and I would roll and toss in bed for hours each night. I never did sleep soundlj". "No one knows how much I suffered. I had headaches all the time and sometimes thought I could not stand this pain and 1 thought they would kill me. My nerves were in had sh.ont> too. and I would illlHD at the least noise. I luid 110 energy, and I was very weak. Really I had to force myself to do my housework, and I just had to drag myself around all the time. "I never did feel well, and most of the time I was very miserable. Anyone who has not suffered as I have cannot realize what I did go through with. I was sick all over and it seemed as if I could not get well. I suffered a lot with pains across my stomach,too,and with indigestion. My sisters and husband told me I looked sickly and weak before I took Tanlac, and they did not know what would become of me. "The testimonials of Tanlac that were printed in the papers convinced me it would Jhelp me, and so I l>egan taking it. I. weighed when I I>eg;m taking lanlnc, ana wnen i had taken one and a half (l?) bottles I had gained fifteen (15)pounds. I stopped taking Tanlac then, for as sure as I live 1 was a well woman then,and I did not have an ache nor a pain. That was two months ago, and 1 feel even better now than I did when I quit taking Tanlac, for I have more strength and energy. "Tanlac gave me a wonderful appetite, although I could not eat anything hardly before I l>egan Tanlac land neither did I want anything to : eat, my stomach was in such bad j shape. I can eat anything now, 1 though, and neyer have indigestion. i feei, fine and hearty and strong now, and T think it is just wonderful the way Tanlac broke up all my troubles. I am not sickly now, and I do not look nor feel that way. I guess if I had continued to take Tanlac I would have gotten so heavy I would be clumsy by this time. "Everybody around in my neigh borhood is talking about the good Tanlac did me, and we think it almost worked a miracle forme. Sure enough, now, it does not seem that any medicine could have done as much for anyone as Tanlac did for me, hut Tanlac is the only medicine I took and I know it is due all the credit. "I am glad to recommend it, and Tanlac deserves the highest praise I can give it. I had been planning to write you and tell you how much good it did me and how wonderful I " ! think it is, but I could not find the $ time, it seemed, and so I am glad you came to see me." \ Tanlac, the master medicine, is ti sold by Kingstree Drug Co., Kings- K i tree; Mallard Lumber Co's store, t< Greelyville; It P Hinnant, Suttons; ; price SI per bottle, straight. 1? i rAnn jrwiMJ' | Ford Tour in j Selling at P $387.75 f. i This is a cut of Ford says that he antee that there advance in price The Ford Cars for themselves w to motor service.
