Intensive cropping Is far prefer able lo extensive cropping thlB year whether moisture Is available or I not because of labor shortage. j The practical- currying out of ai planting plan- for the vegetable gar-j den requires considerable fore-1 thought anil previous preparation:! now Is the time to do the planning. , Seeds ot many varieties are scarce ; Ibis year; therefore I advise plac- j lug your seed order In good time, j and If you do not buy of a good j reliable seed house In the East, pat-! lonlie one of the -several credited ! seed bouses In Oregon, where yon ; huve the service of seed testersitj costs no more. Purchase tho best sed procurable: the matter pf cost! Is a detail, but may make all the, difference between profitable and j profitless crops. Remember that it ; takes Just as much time to pre-; piire the ground and cultivate pnori as good seeds; therefore don't be! misled by the cry of cheapness. j Another point worth remembering ; is that homo gardening is a most i profitable recreation, the products of the homo garden representing i the labor Income of otherwise lost time. I Soil preparation can wait a little j as it will he several weeks before we can do anything on the ground; : but now is the time to make our, plans, that there w.ty be no waiting! no haphazard sowing when the; Spring weather opens. i One of the biigbenrB Is to select ; just what Is best fnr.ii the bewilder ing offerings of the average seed ; catalog. Then there arises the . question: "How much of each do I want?" Now the only practical t way. to go about the matter Is, first, to malic a rnrerul plan or tlie avail- ablo space at your disposal. Your .nieasurniiients must be lnlrly rect so that you may plan the most profitable use of the cultivated land. ine louowing are noriicuiiurai ; ' varieties which will grow best In " " " " ' ; 1 La (irande and outlying dlstrlcls: ! ground Is hot and dry.
