SOUTHERN PACIFIC LINES Editor News: A friend requested me to write something of my experience in gar dening. I replied that I was no writ er, and that perhaps 1 did not know anything worth writing about. She Bald she thought I could tell some thing which would be or help to the amateur at least, and that it would he doing my country a service, etc., and, of course, a speeeii like that makes an appeal to a soldier's daugh ter, bo I decided to try to do my bit. In the first place, the gardener must like the work. One who enjoys gardening will always be on the look out to learn the peculiarities of each separate vegetable, for each has its own peculiarities, and the sooner we learn them the better for our suc cess. The selection of seed is veiy Im portant to begin with. This may, at first thought, seem out of place at this time, but just now Is the best i time the begin as a good many seeds) are ripening, and those who have j gardens have a chance to choose the best for that purpose. 1 have heard j gardeners of several years' experi-i ence say that the first, tomato that ripens is the one to save for seed, re gardless of size or quality. I always choose the largest, smoothest, finest tomatoes for seed, whether they be the first or the last. 1 think if they keep up their policy each successive year, their crops will degenerate in stead of Improve as they should. 1 select the most perfect specimens of everything for seed; the large, well filled ears of corn, pods of beans and peas, etc., and alter they are shelled. 1 choose the largest, as They make the strongest growth, consequently are more prolific. If we plant gnarl ed, inferior seed we are like the fel low who. in thinning out his veget ables, pulled up the largest ones to give the smaller ones a chance. A very important thing in choos ing a new vegetable, is good quality and great yielding power. Happy are we if we llnd these two qualities combined. When we find a variety which suits our taste best, it is good policy to stick tn it instead of chang ing often. I always hold fast to a good kind until I find a better one. ii i n;:t yet too !:'? p!:i:;t let tuce, radishes, turnips and carrots. It is advisable to plant the early variety of turnips, as they mature quicker than the other sorts. I planted a white.1 variety of rad ishes this week. I do not think It pays to raise the very small, early radishes. I do not planf the earliest, smooth peas. The small crop does not Justify me in utilizing space which would bring a much heavier crop of second-early, wrinkled peas a couple of weeks later. When one row of peas is about three or four inches high 1 plant an other. I had peas through June. July ami August. I expect to have more in October. I did not plant any peas during the hotest weather, as l hey do not grow well then. I have early wax beans blooming now which I planted In August. - My garden Is full all the time, When one row of vegetables is gone I plant another kind in its place. 1 am raising the second crop in nearly two-thirds of my garden. I have had a splendid crop of all kinds of vegetables. It is profitable to plant root veget ables where teans nn" peas have grown, as the nitrogen stored up in the soil by tue vines ".s good food for them. I trim and train my to matoes to grow aboue six feet high tving them to stakes. They yield a greater number of fine uniform sized truit than if left to grow naturally, and it Is also an economy of space Kach year, just for experiment. I let a few grow naturally, and they are alwavs inferior to the staked ones. When hey grow high as I wish. I clip the top out. I also pinch off the ends of pumpkin vines when then are two tiny .pumpkins on them. Two is enough lor each In aneh to ma ture well. Thus the strength goes to the pumpkin instead of the vines. If there is a limited space for punip- i kins and cucumbers. plant them j where they may climb a wire fence. ! bank, or anything. They like to climb I have seen pumpkins n a tree and they looked very happy. I think : that fertilizing pays well. I save all ' the parings, leaves, tops. etc.. and pile them in an out-of-the-way place land In the spring they are well rot , ti'd. and mak the best of fertilizer I do not litigate more than once a week, thoroughly. Some gial mis takes are. made in irrigation. M.iuv gardeners give a light nprinking ev ery day or every two days. Such irrigating is only harmful, and the gardener finds his water bill high and his garden a failure for the water does not reach the roots, and it just forms a crust on top of the ground which smothers the roots. Then he gets discouraged and stops tryiug, while the fact of the matter Is that the same amount or water. If UBed properly, would have been sufficient for a good crop. If ! only get six rows Irrigated each day I see that It is done thoroughly. When the soli does not stick to the hoe but Is still moist is the time to hoe. 1 hope those who had small crops this year will have better success next year. I would like to see letters from' other gardeners as to their methods. I am always anxious to learn more about gardening. UNCLK SAM'S NIJ3CH. Drain State Bank No. 50. HANK STATKMKXT.
