With the location of the vege

basis of a sound sunshine garden.
Owing to the rarying conditions
in different yards it is difficult to
lay down a standard garden plan.
Each sitnation requires individual
variations to suit its conditions.
It is best to plant in rows rather
than in beds for ease of cultiva
tion. As a general rule the rows
should run north and south for a
more equable distribution of sun
light, but it is more important

All farmers of the valley are in
vited to bring, in their produce and
display it for sale at the market.
Stalls will be built for each indi
vidual farmer and a very low
charge made, according to the
space used. As the season for
early garden produce will not start
for about two or three weeks,
farmers are urged to make reser
vations for their space now.

The first factor to be consid
ered in planning the crops is to
locate them in the garden plot so
that the taller growing rops will
not shade the lower growers. Lo
cate the directions on the plan with
regard to sunlight before planning
the rows.
Draw the plot to scale and study
the seed catalogues and garden
books for proper distances apart
for the rows and stick to it. These
distances have been proved best by:
the practical experience of expert
gardeners and they are as closely
placed as the best development of
the plants will permit. Proper
spacing means better crops than
crowded plants. Crowding mini
mizes the bearing possibilities.
In city back yard gardens the
problem of succession planting is
an important one as the soil must
be kept in continuous action. Suc
cession crops must be marked into
the plan. Peas, for instance, arej

but will no doubt prove quite

Xo Tagging There
Another added feature of the
market location is that there are
no parking restrictions. A farmer
bringing his produce to market
can leave his car parked without
fear of having it tagged. The
wide alley in the rear of the build

and unloading. Patronage ha

commercial opportunity in the
wholesale manufacture of ice

four and a half billion pounds of
milk in 19 26 and poured thou

Federal figures place the total
production of ice cream at 324,-
665,000 gallons in the same year.
Estimates for 1927 have not been
compiled, but it is believed they
will show an even higher produc

One of the most interesting
Places In Salem is Flake's Pet-
land at 273 State street. This
establishment, under the direction
of E. B. Flake, is a miniature
zoo, as he handles all kinds of
animals from bull pups to love
birds. Mr. Flake's main line of
business, however, is baby chicks.
Mr. Flake handles Black Minor
cas. White Leghorns, Plymouth
Rocks. Rhode Island Reds. Mot

tons. The Flake baby chicks are
noted for their early and fast
growth' and the mortality after
hatching is very low. Mr. Flake
guarantees 100 per cent live de
livery on all shipments of chicks.
"I want every one of my farm
friends to own a flock of jat least
1000 pure bred profittoaking
hens." says Mr. Flake. "I have
been interested in podltry for
good mafry years but I do not be
lieve I have ever seen snch oppor
tunity for poultry profits as exist
today."
Mr. Flake also handles a full
line of song birds direct from St.
Andreasburg. Germany, where the
world famous singers are raised
and trained. Parrots, love birds
and other species are always on
display at the Petland in addition
to the canaries. 4Fox terriers.

the tile. This leare the rich top
soil in place and tends to enrich
the soil below. Tile and drainage
also prevents the soil from becom
ing sour, and in drawing off the
stagnant water gives the plant a
chance to get the fresh air so nec
essary to good growth.
A good example of drainage and
the benefits derived from it ia
found in the cage of the Labish
district. This whole valley was
once a swamp which, through the
use of drainage, has been con
verted into a Terltable Garden of
Eden and contains some of the
richest land in the Willamette
valley. The tile used in the drain
age system of this district was fur
nished by the Salem Brick and
Tile company, a local concern.
The drainage of land' is one of
the best Investments a farmer can
make if his farm needs drainage,
according to authorities on the
subject. A good drainage system
when properly installed Is an in
vestment rather than an expense.
