TUB OREGON STATESMAlf: FRIDAY, iVXY. 4. 102O.
A GARDEN DEPARTMENT FOR THE BENEFIT
OF READERS OF THE STAT ESRIAN PROPOSED
With the Help of All Those Who Ought to Be Interested This Can Be Made a Most Valu
able Department for the Good of the Salem Section.
(The Statesman would like to have a Garden Department in each
issue of the Thursday Daily and the Friday Weekly. Help from
those who ought to be interested will be needed, and ought to be avail
able the whole'year through. This help is earnestly solicited. If it
can be had in sufficient enthusiasm, the Garden Department will be a
fact. Ed.)
(This is the second week of the Garden Department)
BE READY WITH SECOND CROPS
tra early start In the muskmelon.line
Is the Honey Dew. However, many
gardeners find tbis difficult to make
flourish, even with' an extra early
start.
New land is particularly good for
melons because it has a fine supply
of humus as a rule, and the melons
need, plenty of moisture retaining;
decayed vereianie matter to b ai
their best.
Keep the ground working. Be
gin to think now, when there Is a
wealth of green vegetables in sight
of the cold winter months, when ev-
; ery vegetable green or canned means
' the payment out of a substantial
sum of money for vegetables are by
no means the tail of the kite or the
high cost. Even eta the smallest
patch. there is something that can oe
raised and put away in its natural
state or a canned or. dried crop.
The radishes, young onions, and
, lettuce are now either usable or with
in tight of harvesting. When they
are gone the ground is available.
- Green peas always ; have a larger
stretch of vacancy than any other
early vegetable. It Is usual with an
old time gardener to put the pea
patch into turnips. It is a wise
plan, bnt nobody wants Quite .as
many turnips as the ground space
, for the peas usually furnishes. The
12th of July, wet or dry, is the dic
' turn to plant turnips for the winter,
bnt they , may be planted before.
However,' that is the date which
about clears off the early peas.
; Of the easily grown root crops
which may be put in the cellar, these
are- sure fine crops, and once put In ,
the ground, hoed enough to put down
the largest growth, of weeds, may oe
left to their own devices till narvest
; ed: turnips, carrots and beets. Far-
snip and vegetable oyster may be left J
in the ground over winter and dug
when wanted. '
' Sow part, of the pea patch to tur
nips for an early fall crop of the
v white variety not to be stored and
then put in the big yellows or ruta
bagas to be put in the cellar. Thjy
are better keepers and better flavor
than the whites for winter storage.
Sow carrots as a second crop, thin
them to six inches and let them grow
till a hard frost before digging. Like
wise beets. Anything that can be
put in the cellar is so much money
in the pocket these days.
A dozen late cabbages 'to store,
means real money when you have to
pay ten cents a pound.
The real secret of gardening Is to
keep,the ground busy and lay some
thing by.
There are always second and even
third crops of sweet corn and string J
Deans 10 ue piamea. 10 oe cannea.
and dried as well as eaten fresh,
but the one item of the vegetable
garden that. can be most economi
cally handled is the root crop. They
need no previous preparation. Mere
ly a cool cellar, so that they will not
shrivel is enough. If the cellar la
too warm because of , a furnace,
store them In dry sand or'earth with
an occasional sprinkling and they
may be dug out plump and full any
time vhen desired.
Think how far two pecks of car
rots will go. compared with burin
them by the pound at the grocers,
and the same with beets, turnips and
even onions.
When the early spring and sum
mer vegetables are done, put in
something for the late summer or
fall and always with an eye to. the
winter supply. You can plant up to
the middle of July.

desired. It will give a crop within
a month and a half. W .
,,8wis chard makes a higj:; thick
succulent stem and midrib; that may
be t eaten prepared like steweaj cel
ery or boiled like asparagus with
butter sauce. It is easily prepared
and is tender at almost all stages of
growth.
In order to make the greens more
palatable looking when cooked, it is
really best to cut out this ' fleshy
midrib and cook it separately or
throw it away if it not desired. There
is considerable difference of opinion
about the cooked stems of the chard.
The flavor is very delicate and some
people declare it hasn't enough taste
to pay to cook it.

TRAINING TOMATOES
It fa rener&llv arA that train
ing tomatoes to a single stem Is the
best method for the ordinary home
garden. In fact some sort of train
ing to keep the tomato off the
ground is advisable, except where
they are grown in such quantity
that it is impracticable. The toma-
; HOHNG QUAIJH MELONS
It is strange that so popular . a '
f rnit as the muskmelon, one that is
as easily grown In the home garden
and, which is never . really cheap,
should find place In so few gardens,
judging the striped beetle Is the
chief difficulty to get by and this is
by no means difficult. After that,
once get- the melons growing, the
hoe is the secret of a good crop of
top quality, given of course, soil of
fair f ertillty. ,i ;
The melon may be planted in ear
ly June with every prospect of a
good erop. It is safer to wait until
the temperature Is settled and the
soil warm. The latter part of May
is generally as early as it is sare to
plant melons in the northern states.
Plant five seeds to a hill, five feet
apart each way. After they have
come up . and , made three or fonr
leaves pull out all but two to a hill
The reason for permitting them to
go along that far is to guard against
bugl getting them all. Be prepare!
to dun with alug shot, spray Vith
some annate mixture, or dust with
sifted urtws if nothing else Is in
Bight, . Oo the vines get a start,
there won't Who much difficulty.
The seeds . tme up in a hurry,
and from the t,e they are out of
the ground until t vines cover the
patch so that it is impossible, keep
the soil stirred. Tbl, retains the
moisture and keeps the 'tuelons grow
ing, it is as simple as railing off a
log to keep the vines spinning, and
if the vines grow there will e 'good
melons.
At the start the soil should in
good, fine tilth and have plenty of
fertilizer, but melons are not so par
ticular unless it is an extra dry situ
ation. From early June planted mel
on which are kept growing alon

A tomato Is a great ramifler. It
will start branching before It gets
very far afong in the world and these
branches will branch, and these
again if given a chance. Keep It to
two branches. Pinch off all the ret.
Tie these loosely to the stake so
there will be three bearing stocks
at most. Many people believe that

care for. If convenient. It is a good
plan to eonnect the stakec with wires

branches horizontally. But the up

quickly than If on the ground. There
is less liability to rot and It is a sim

A plant that would make a hund

with three, and It Is a handsome
sight along In August when it Is as
high as your head and adorned with

It will have to be watched every
