u( gardeners never had a chance
to get their early s e e d and plants
in the ground, hut there Is still
time to get the job done.
It Ralph Clark, OSC, exten
sion service horticulturist, says
there are three garden crops to
avoid planting in June, yet a
whole host of others may he
planted now with assurance they
will do well.
Crops to avoid
planting now aie peas, radishes
and spinach. The latter two, may
holt and go to seed If planted in
warm weather, while peas are
just not a warm w eather crop,
Clink states All three do best in
cool, moist weather.

have experienced in getting theii
crops planted Hain postponed 01

noimall.y goes into processing
vegetables. Obviously, this will
result in a com paratively short
supply of processing crops.
Prices for garden truck are
high now and there is every re a
son to believe they will stay up
oi even go higher, Clark p re
dicts. This fact makes the back-
yaid garden even more valuable.
For planting now, avoid the
early seuson varieties of vege
tables, Clark advises. However,
b e suys sum m er varieties of any
of the following vegetables will
do well If planted now: Carrots,
beets, corn, beans, tomatoes, pep
pers, eggplant, cabbage celery,
chard lettuce, cucumbers, squash
an dpum pkins.
Vegetable crops planted now
will grow rapidly. Clark points
out, hut as a result of excessive
spi ing rain It will be necessury to
Watch for signs of low soil fer
tility.
Yellowing and stunted
growth are good Indicators, he
says. An application of nitrogen
fertilizer will correct this soil
condition. Continued watering
of vegetable crops Is also Im por
tant as soon as dry w ester starts,
Clark adds.

The name of the joint is the
Hillbilly cafe and it's located at

According to the same ad the
waitresses were sure that the

cook claimed the meals would

Saturday, June 5, is going to
be Oklahoma day at the joint.
Bill promises free sand in the
coffee that day so that the Ok
lahom ans will feel at home.
Bill and Bess used to make
gadgets for Spears and Rearbuck
but when the war came along

gave up and came to California.

According to Bill they've got
no more idea than a rabbit as to
why they went into the cafe bus

“I’ve alw ays thought,” Bill
says, “th at cafe owners were
crazy, and now I’m sure of it.
Anyway w e’re feeding a lot of
folks. One m an said we served
the sm allest portions in town and

hope Is that other folks come in
