If the Liberty loan drive or the pri mary election took so much time that you didn't get your war garden planted, It Is not too late to have a very good garden. You wilt find that the soil now yields more easily to cultivation than at any previous time of the year. This is due to the rains of last week. Vege tables already growing were profited amazingly by the showers. It is time now to plant the quick growing varieties of sweet corn. You ought to have a few hills of squashes. Look around your neighborhood and see if there is available some well rotted barnyard manure ; ml it with thoroughly mulched earth and make hills in which to place the squash seeds. Two or three hills of squashes, if they do well will furnish all you need for next winter. Plant cucumbers in the same way; or, better, for cucumbers, place the manure in a perforated bucket or keg without a bottom and water the plants through the container. Beans may still be grown satisfact orily, and the soil' that was broken early in the season and since that time thoroughly worked over' will pro duce beans in quality and quantity, greater than those planted when the soil was still cold. "There is still time in most sections of the west to plant a garden containing several varieties of vegetables," says a bulletin from the department of agri culture. "In some localities it is now too late to plant such crops as peas, beets, spinach, and others that do not thrive in hot weather. On the other hand, it is too early in many sections of the west to plant the heat-loving plants such as cucumbers, egg plant and so forth. "Vegetables may be divided into four groups, based on their ability to with stand heat and cold. The groups are "Planted two weeks before last killing irost early cabbage plants from hot bed or seed box, radishes, collards. onion sets, early smooth peas, kale, early potatoes, turnips and mustard. "Planted about the date of the last killing frost Beets, parsnips, carrots, lettuce, salsify, spinach, wrinkled peas. cauliflower plants celery seed, onion sed parsiey.sweet corn ana uninese ca.DDage. "Planted two weeks after last killing frost snap beans, okra and tomato plants. Planted a month after last killing frost lima beans, pepper plants, egg plant, squashes and melons.
