Only Requisite Is Small Piece of
Ground; Determination and
Some Outdoor Workv
By J. K. Larson
The war garden campaign that wu
vigorously pushed throughout the
cities of the Northwest resulted In
many gardens being- planted to supply
the home table and Increase food pro
duction. The effect of this campaign
should result In increased plantings for
years to come. The present need for
more foodstuffs Is practically as urgent
as rfurtriK war times. We should make
very effort to plant small fruits and
permanent garden crops, and also good
steed home vegetable gardens.
FRUITS
There Is often space on the elty lot
that can well be devoted to the growing
of fruit, as these trees and vines prop,
rly pruned and cultivated are not un
sightly but add beauty and make the
surroundings more home like. The side
or back yard will lend Itself to planting
of trees. Cherries, pears and plunks,
and If conditions will permit, English
walnut and filbert trees, will provide
both shade and a profit when they come
Into bearing. A few vines of logan
berries, Phenomenals, raspberries and
blackberries will supply small fruits for
the table and also for preserving. The
planting would not be complete without
few strawberry plants. It is best to
plant Everbearing varieties. There Is
practically no fruit that affords so much
pleasure and profit as a nice strawberry
bed.
SOIL PREPARATION
To grow a good fruit tree, berry vine
r garden, requires thorough prepara
tion of the soil, and If not naturally
deep and loamy, it must be built up
with manures and fertilisers. Many
city yards and gardens have been filled
in with the clay removed from the base
ment or from a neighboring basement
and It Is very common to find a very
poor top soil In these places. If it is
not possible to haul top soli and fill in
the lawn or garden, then manures and
fertilizers ehould be resorted to, to bring
It to a good state of cultivation. The
tilth of the soil Is one of the most
Important factors In growing a success
ful berry patch or garden.
FERTILIZERS
Where barnyard manures are avail
able they should be applied in the fall,
plowed or spaded In. shallow, and then
replowed deeply in the spring. If one
fnnot secure thl kind of fertilizer, the
organic fertilizers such as sheep guano
should be used in liberal quantities. It
must be worked into the soil either in
the fall or very early spring, and by
putting- additional applications around
the trees or shrubbery a very satisfac
tory growth can be had. The commer
cial fertiliser should be applied in quan
tities of at least 300 to 600 pounds per
acre.
For the convenience of the elty gar
dener, the following tabid gives the
amount of fertiliser to be used on a
given sis plot at the various amounts
per acre. Directions for applying fer
tllleers are usually given In terms of so
many pounds per acre. This table gives
In terms, easily understood, how much
fertiliser to apply to the small garden,
lawn or berry patch.
100 lb, an man aanala 1 lb. for plat 10x48 ft.
200 lb, us som equals 1 !bwfor plot 10x21 ft.

400 lb, an tare quail 1 IK for plot 10x11 ft.
00 lba. an koto oquaU 1 lb. for "1"' in, ft.
In addition to the fall or early spring
application It Is well to apply readily
available fertiliser as nitrate of soda
and mixed fertilisers during the growing
season. An 'application at the rate of
200 or 100 pounds per acre of nitrate of
oda applied directly In the row or to
the plant will give wonderful increase
in the growth of the crop.
THE GARDEN
The elty man oan provide on an
ordinary city lot enoueh vegetables to
supply the table during the summer
months and also have food for preserv
ing and canning for use during the
winter.- Potatoes and root crops can be
stored for winter use. The success of
the garden depends on soil prnparatlon,
the planting of good seeds and cultiva
tion almost entirely.
bOIt PREPARATION
The garden must receive thorough and
Intensive preparation. If the plot to be
put in garden has been In grass or
weeds. It should be fall plowed, shallow
and manure applied before plowing if
It Is available. In the spring it should
be thoroughly cultivated and replowed
and worked down into a well compacted
seed bed Just before planting time. The
fertiliser, if wisely used, will pay a
big profit -on the investment. You can
not grow high 'quality garden vegetables
on poor soil. They must grow rapidly
to a crispness and be palatable. Build
up the poor soil with manures and fer
tilizers. The importance of planting good seed
oannot be over emphasized. A common
practice of home gardeners Is to go out
In the late flail and pick off some of the
half matured seed that grew from the
few plants or culls that remain In the
garden. If seed is to be saved, choice
plants should be selected during the
growing season and seed saved only
from these plants. The amateur will do
well, however, to go to a source where
the very best tested and selected seed
may be obtained. Money and time nre
both lost In fertilizing- and working a
garden and then planting it to Inferior
varieties of vegetables with poor quality
seeds.
One hill of summer squash occupying
a place about four by four feet in the
same section as the two hills of cu
cumbers, would supply as many of these
as a family could use.

Army ' Campaigning f or Recruits
Though the war Is over the United
States school garden army haa not been
demobilized. In fact it Is to be recruited
this year to greater strength than ever.
Plana for the new season 'are set forth
in a bulletn issued by the bureau of edu
cation, department of the Interior, and
addressed to educators throughout the
land, as follows:
"Two and "one half millions of children
were enrolled in the U. S. S. G. in 1919.
With the coming of a new year the
problems that confront us as educators
are to Increase this army, to make the
garden work more permanent, and to
increase Its educational value. The motto
of the garden army "A. Garden for
Every Child Every Child in a Garden"
can duly be reallied when gardening
becomes a definite part of school work.
PRESIDENT RECOGNIZES TALCE
The president recognised the value of
school supervised gardening Ty making

gress has appreciated the service of gar
den leaders to the country and has
recognised the permanent value of this
work by granting an appropriation to
continue the United States School Gar
den army. This Is a work not for our
selves or any organisation, but one de
voted In A spirit of service to the eauca-
tlon of children.
City children wHl form habits of In
dustry and regularity by utilising their
energies on the backyards and vacant
lots that are now largely unproductive.
School supervised home gardening re
quires only a limited amount of school
time, but It should have as definite a
plate and credit as any other school
subjects. As a practical out-of-school
hour subject, gardening admits- of the
widest kind of correlation with other
studies. There Is no school subject from
which more real knowledge may be
gained of science, of art, of life's re
lations than from dealing with living,
growing plants.
In his message to the sixty-sixth cn
gress (December 2. 1919) the president, in
speaking of the American farmer, said :
"He indispensably helped to win the war.
But there is now scarcely less need in
increasing the production In food and
the necessities of life. I auk congress to
consider means of encouraging effort
along these lines."
The same fact is given great promi
nence in the statement of the United
States Council of National Defense on
October 6, 1919.
"The United States Council of National
Defense, composed of the secretaries of
war, navy, Interior, agriculture, com

PLAJfS FOR 1020
The United States School Garden army
is not a temporary organization. Its
aim Ir permanency of production through

1. Organization The formation of
companies should be continued. The
company simply establishes a working
unit that may include a class, a school,
or any other group adapted to local con
ditions. The number in a company may
vary from 10 to 150.
2. Age Llmltr-Any child may be a
member of the garden army. All school
pupila from the third to the eighth grade
should be enrolled in companies.
s. Requirements for Enlistment Any
child may enlist by signing an enlist
ment blank by which act he agrees to
raise one or more food crops and to
keep a record of his results, reporting
" mo garaen teacher or super
visor. One enlistment blank Is required
for each 0 children. The required num
ber of enlistment blanks may be ob
tained by filling In and mailing the in
closed postcard.
4. Officers Each company should

in securing enrollment and supervising
home gardens.

In planning the home garden, it la
Important to select varieties of vegeta
bles that are particularly suited for
home production. This, in every case,
means those which excel In edible quali
ties. Commercial growers are limited by
many factors which are not present in
the home garden. They must consider
yield, shipping qualities, quickness of
growth, size, appearance and the cus
toms of the market. The home garden
er may disregard everything in de
manding the highest quality, and in
almost every kind of garden product,
fruit as well as vegetable, he will be
able to grow better things than he can
buy.
LOCAL ADVICE BEST
Advice on garden varieties which do
well in each particular locality is always
available from seedsmen, and may be
obtained either by correspondence or
persona inquiry. No trouble will bet
ter repay the gardener than such an
Investigation, even though he la experi
enced, and considers himself well in
formed on quality varieties. 8eldom
does a year go by without some notable
Introduction of a new variety, or devel
opment of an old.
The limitations upon market growers
apply likewise to growers supplying
commercial canners. The housewife who
puts away the choice products of her
own gardon for the winter has the ad
vantage of working with higher qual
ity material than the commercial canner
can profitably use.
In addition to producing higher qual
ities In the vegetables which are com
mon In the market, the home gardener
may grow many things which seldom
appear In the greengrocer's bins. Swiss

NOT SIZE, BUT TASTE
In choosing varieties for the home
garden, It Is well to bear in mind that
size and appearance are of minor im
portance In vegetables. It is because
the superficial buyer is attracted by
these obvious qualities that the market
demand often rejects the better kinds
in favor of the more showy. Table
quality is the supreme test which
should be used in choosing varieties for
home production, and this will often
times be found to be highest In vege
tables which do not qualify for the
front rank in the beU1y chorus. The
motto In the garden should be em
phatically "Pretty Is aa Pretty does."
local supervisors or teachers. These
standards should be high, but such as
can be reached by all children who make
an honest effort
8. Record Blank A sample record

adopted by local communities. Its adop
tion by many cities will establish a uni
form standard for awarding certificates.
9. The Teacher The garden teacher
is the most Important factor in the suc-i-ss
of the garden. The company forma

Valuable in arousing the interest of chil
dren. They are, however, only a means
to an end and permanency depends on
selecting a teacher and adequately pay
ing for garden supervision.
10. The Manuals of Garden Lessons
Manuals of garden lessons have been
written for the five climatic regions of
the United States. The manuals were
written by agricultural college gradu
ates who have ajsp had many years of
pedagogical experience. The lessons are
adapted to class room Instruction and
yet are so practical that they may be
used by the teacher when directing actual

All Transplanting
In transplanting seedling plants such
aa petunias, stocks and p&nsiea, there lis
a natural inclination to set out the
strongest and beat specimens from ti&e
seed bed in case all cannot be used,
leaving the feeble, unpromising looking
ones back. As a rule the reverse of this
is the course that should be followed,
for the reason that usually it is the
weaker plants that bear the best flower a.
These plants, set apart so as not to be
crowded by the stronger growers, will
generally develop into good specimens
that will bear superior flowers. Juat
this kind of discrimination or the lack
of it Is sufficient to account for the
widely different results that so often
follow In the cultivation by different
growers of planta from the same seed.
"HOME GUARD" ASKED
TO PUT IN TIME
THE HOME
Commercially Grown Product Is
Necessary for Those Who Have
No Ground of Own.
A summons for help from home gar
deners haa been sounded by the news
that market gardeners are reducing their
acreage in many districts 25 per cent,
owing to many cases, of which the
diversion of labor to more highly paid
occupations is one. '
At the same time, It is stated that
prices for seed are not going up. : In
many cases they are less than last year.
The shortage of cabbage seed, for ex
ample, has been made up by . a big
American crop, and except for garden
peas, the general seed produoten has
been satisfactory.
Spring therefore enters with condi
tions for home gardeners' that might
be described as Ideal a chance to pro
duce food at a lower cost for a higher
market. Prices for garden vegetables
are expected to break records this sum
mer. Among the eases of decreased pro
duction in commercial gardens, the di
version of labor, though perhaps the
most Influential, is not alone. Dr. Wil
liam A. Taylor, chief of the bureau of
plant Industry of the department of
agriculture, cites the high price of
manure as a contributing cause. Mar
ket gardeners use great quantities of
manure. For several years they have
been feeling the growing shortage, diue
to the gradual discontinuance of horse
drawn traffic In cities. In the last two
years the high cost of fend has acceler
ated this change, and the scarcity of
manure Is many localities has become
acute. v
rilOFIT IN HOME GARDENS
Owing to the important part vege
tables now -take in the average family's
diet, the expected shortage of garden
products is assuming, an .extremely serl-
out aspect. The chief source of pos
sible help in the situation Is the promo
tion of home gardens. There is even
greater need for them than during the
war and even the market gardeners aire
urging that those who can should grow
their own vegetables in order that tine
commercial production may be available
to those who have ho land.
In addition to the service home gar
deners will render to the general wel
fare, the profits from home production
were never more attractive. ."With seeds
lower and prices of vegetables higher
than before, the hours devoted to garden
making will represent a substantial In
vestment when the products are put on
the table.
Peas are something that everybody
likes. The very earliest are the round
podded, hard peas j&nd about three rows
of these would be enough, requiring
about one pint of seed. The Alaska is
an excellent variety of this class. The
Gradus or Blue Bantam, for late, one
pint of seed. Plant at the same time the
Alaskas are planted. Thla would give
six rows. The peas would be harvested
and out of the way In time to plaint
cabbages, turnips and rutabagas for win
ter.

obtainable was used to open up and
keep the soil loose. It was not the

Mhamos" la the triable man ere that
was waatea. but SOW with this Dry
Kiln, weed-free "C. M." the lawn-
maker'a troubles are greatly reduced.

seed, covering It well. If It Is dry
