Williams The sales receipt and warranty tag on a piece of new furniture can be valuable to the purchaser if problems develop with the furniture. Most warranties request that the con sumer first contact the retailer, who will determine what repairs or replacements can be made. Several manufacturers warranties state that if you do not receive satisfaction from the retailer, the manufacturer should be contacted. Most companies offer a one-year war ranty on frame, legs, and structural parts. A few companies have a two year and some have a five year warranty. At least one manufacturer offers a 25-year warranty on a steel frame. Only a few companies offer warranties on fabrics: others exclude fabric or cover from any w arranty. The warranties all slate that repair or replacement will be at CAL WILLIAMS the option of the manufacturer Some indicate that a substitute material may be used. Most manufacturers require that ship ping costs be prepaid when returning the furniture to the factory. Some companies will reimburse consumers for the prepaid charge if the furniture was defective and will return it without a shipping charge. A wise consumer should discuss these details with the retailer before purchas ing a new piece of furniture. Consumers can do little about the length of time it takes for repairs at the factory. A recent review of complaints received in the office of the National Association of Furniture Manufacturers shows that repairs are taking as long as six months. This includes waiting time for a piece of furniture to be picked up by a truck and waiting time again for the truck to return to an area. 2 7 3 7 N.E.

Gardeas require space Don't let a limited amount of gardening space keep you from growing and enjoy ing some of your own vegetables. The gardener who wisely uses a small garden ing plot may actually grow more and better crops than the person who plants too much on a larger plot. Planning the best use of a small plot is very important. Certain crops yield a lot of eating for the space used while others can take up a lot of space and not give much in return. Your best choices for vegetables in small plots are carrots, potatoes, onions, beets, broccoli, cabbage, turnips, chard, snap beans, cauliflower and tomatoes. Some are listed because they can be crowded together, others because they yield edible parts over a long period of time. Radishes, lettuce and peas rank low in value produced for the space used, but they do add variety and can be used in rotation with other crops. W ide row plantings are becoming more popular, especially in small plots. With this sort of planting system, instead of making several single rows a foot apart, you might m»ke a bed » foot wide and seed the entire area. When the seedlings come up. thin the planting to the spacing suggested on the seed packet. This method gives more useable space but a little more w ater and fertilizer will be needed to maintain the planting. Don't overlook trellises also as means of gaining more space for vegetable plants. Vining crops such as cucumbers, tomatoe«. squash and beans can be trained upwards to prevent crowding. This is going to be a good gardening year, make plans now.
