With food prices high and still jC
! a
soaring it almost behooves us to know | y
just exactly what and how to do to j
make both ends meet, so great is the I r
strain put upon the purse strings of 1
the poon farmer; but be it as it may,* 3
he is still a great deal better off than 3
his poor town or city brother.

large family and not even ten square <
feet of land upon which to plant s
even a few vegetables.is in a far sight z
worse fix than is the country farmer, I
who has to go to town and sell eggs <
and butter to buy the necessary 1
bread to eat with his vegetables, be- i
cause he has them perfectly fresh
and in bounteous quantities.and with z
the addition of milk, butter ard eggs, s
to say nothingof fried chicken thrown z
in for good measure. He also has z
nice fresh fruits from the roadside,
such as the following: blackberries, I
dewberries, plums, huckleberries, *

chard soon to come into bearing. s
The poor city man's family was, ?
up until a few years ago, a positive ?
"shut-in." No sunshine hardly at all J
to rear his children to healthy man- f
hood and womanhood. Numbers liv- f
ed in the same room breathing the
same foul air until philanthropical s
workers tried to rectify such condi- t
tions.
There is yet worlds of work for *
them to do, and a gopd one would be s
to have different sections of the cities r
and towns supervised by competent *
leaders, with subdivisions and land t
Koqo r>itips leased and worked ^

by these same poor little children, t
giving them not only an insight into r
the wonderful workings of nature, *
but fresh air as well. Each should c
have so many feet of land upon
which to raise his or her own vege- v
tables that the family likes; and din- >
ners can* be served each day in the v
open, using some as waiters, still 1
giving a mental training of service 11
in after yerrs. Prizes offered for ^
best results.then exhibition days appointed;
parents and friends invited; v
mayors and high officials invited to
make speeches of encouragement to
the furtherance of more food pro- ?
ductions. e
There are so manv things that can k
yet be planted before frost that it is k
staggering in its immensity. J1
I will enumerate a few that can p
yet be planted and which will go a a
long ways toward helping to feed the a
family and have some to sell, viz: ?
Late Flat Dutch cabbage can be _
planted upon rich soil, preferably I
clay loam, and they begin to grow
z well after being transplanted in
August. Give a dressing of nitrate of
soda after it rains.
Tomatoes of the Stone variety.
Self-blanching celery would be well
to plant at this time, also squash,cucumber,
cassava, muskmelons, okra,
Irish potatoes; also Mexican June
corn and the regular old cornfield
bean of a variety that is quite scarce
and hard to find; still I think I have
* located them in an Atlanta seed
house. These do theii best after the I
i -'-u. c??|
COO I nixnis m ocjucuvn.
Both the pole and bunch limas,
pole and bunch snaps, can now be
planted; rutabagas, too, must be
planted by August 1, as they require
much more time to make than the
other turnips. They do best in black
lands with 600 pounds each of cottonseed
meal and acid phosphate bedded
in rather flat,to retain the moisture
during the dry months of August
and September.
The piece that we had our spring .
onions can now be planted to late _
cebbages, black eyed peas, lady finger
or Shannon peas, also the Tepary
bean; a late introduction into the
United States from Mexico, having
been used there by the Indians for
generations.
I planted mine April 17 and will
within a few days have seed to replant
for late green shelled beans. I
Apply to the government for seed,as I
I did.
Lettuce and radish can be planted 5
i long boxes, partially shaded, and
arden nasturtiums can be interpersed
among them to add color and
leauty as well as used as a salad,
,nd the flower for garnishing.
I am now experimenting with late
)lanted English peas, for I find I have
l pea that seems to be eyerlasting?
>ne that has even gotten parched to
i crisp during this drought, and is
low taking on new growth.
You can not plant too many pealuts,
yet it is getting rather late;
K?, Vioirinrr fKom akoltcrl if

rou had the proper season there could
;et be some made.
For the chickens plant the followng:
Shallu, Hegarl, peanuts, peas,
tnd I feel sure we can yet plant some
>f the mammoth sunflowers; yet it
teems full late. The Shallu is said to
nake excellent batter cakes, also
>ops very much like popcorn. Poprorn
makes excellent feed for the
ittle biddies, and they thrive well
inder such feeds as the above.
In August I plant all kinds of turlips,
except the rutabagas; onion
ets.both the single and multiplying,
adish, beets, lettuce, spinach, car
ots, salsify and parsnip.
It may be full late to plant velvet
>eans, but I expect to plant anyway
or pasturage every available spot,
iven if the beans do notmaturejalso
ioy beans and late corn, so as to have
i good pasture for cows and hogs
ifter the crops are "laid by." Then
can sit back and watch the pigs
jrow and the milk pails fill to overlowing.
A word for the frogs, lizards, inects
and birds, and then I will be
hrough.
Spare the frogs and lizards to eat
he cutworms and injurious insects;
ilso spare the large green horned tonato
worn with the white cocoon in
lis back,for as well as I can remem>er
it, an entomologist told me they |
ifltnhpH intn arppn snidprs that ate I
he grasshoppers which defoliated
>lants worse than did the tomato
yorms; but by all means destroy the
mes without the cocoon in his back.
Also destroy the large black and
riiite striped beetle and save the
oung ones, for he said they, too,
pere beneficial, and the way to desroy
the adult beetle was to throw it
a a pan of water; upon which had
een poured some coal oil.
Take care of the birds and they
rill take care of you.
