Boca use of tho splendid soil con
ditions In many parts of La Grande
wo may look forward to oven larg
er vegetable, crops off the back yard
and vacant lots t linn we had last
year.
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.

green. It may take several years to

OUEENS: Swiss Char ns well as
Scotch Curly Kale. Kohl Raid, and
Victoria spinach are splendid var
ieties of greens and grow well thru
out the season. These may be used
In early fall cropping.
SWEET COKN: The Golden Ban-'
. tain Is well adapted to our climatic
conditions.
LETTUCE should he rrcsli ami
crisp thruout the season with r lit
tle extra care. Start your seeds in
a hot bed In the early Spring. Only
plan a .mall bed at a time but keep
It going. Star, with a Simpson or
; Cos, set out early anil not too close.
- Keep the soli well moist and If the
jsun becomes too hot shade the let

cheese cloth over Oie entire bed

results.

crops.
EARLY PICAS: ir several vorio-'
ties of peas are planted at the same
time, or .he same variety Is planted
at different times, the season of
"new peas and early potatoes" may I
