Building Dallas, Oregon m w I m Earl Brunk Tells How He Raised Premium. Vegetables For School Fair. The $5 cash prize offered by the Observer to the boy giving the best record of growth of vegetables exhibited by him at the School Fair was won by Earl Brunk. the bright little son or Mr. and Mrs. T. VV, BruDk, of Eola Here is the record which the judges decided was entitled to nrst place lu the competition : RECORD OF GROWTH. Last Fall the manure was hauled from the barns and placed on the garden. It was left there until early iti the Spring, when it was spread, and then plowed under within a few days alter Dei ng spread. Tne ground was then let alone until about March 15. and then re-plowed and harrowed about one month later. The ground was so well pulverized that most of the seed were covered with the plow. xne pumpkin and squasn mils were so far apart that they were covered with the hoe. They were planted in moist dirt, and covered about one inch deep with moist dirt. The potatoes were planted about S inches deep. The cabbage was planted in moist dirt, about one inch deep, and covered with moist dirt. The beets were planted in a bed of moist dirt with the hand, and about one inch deep. The ground was in such fine condition that when the vegetables needed cultivation, they were cultivated with the cultivator. After thev were cultivated, tne dirt tnat had been crowded up against the plant was all removed, so as to give the plant plentv of room. The weeds were kept pulled out, so as not to take so much strength rrom tne ground. The tomatoes had the same care, witn tne exception that they were grown from plants. The corn was suckered when the suckers could be told from the main stalks. The beets were thinned out, so as to give those remaining a chance to grow. The cabbage plants were taken out of the hill and re-set, with the exception of one. The garden was generally culti vated a day or so after a rain, so that the soil would not run together aod get hard, but keep moist.
