June Good Time l o Plant Seeds For Late Garden 46 I I I M!j Ü ÍFC P ubiish ( e Y$' Spring gurdcn plans took a heating thin year from the w eatherm an mo that the niajority 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. Com m ereia1 vegetable growers have had the same difficulty this yeai that backyard gardeners have experienced in getting theii crops planted Hain postponed 01 elim inated planting of a good deal of acreage In the state thut 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.

He said he liked it but he didn’t think the custom ers would. The name of the joint is the Hillbilly cafe and it's located at the corner of North Main and W ater street. It was a clean sort of a dive when Bill and Bess op­ ened it up but Bill warned the customers in his announcem ent ad that they'd better hurry up and get down there before he and the help got it all messed up According to the same ad the waitresses were sure that the service wuuld be terrible und the cook claimed the meals would stick to a feller’s libs for four hours. 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 supplies w ere hard to get so they gave up and came to California. The oranges w ouldn't drop off the trees so they w ent to work at various resorts. One day they drove up from California to Ash­ land to get a drink of Llthia w at­ er and liked It ao well they’ve been here ever since. According to Bill they've got no more idea than a rabbit as to why they went into the cafe bus­ iness. “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 said that our slogan (Worst in the West) was sure right. All we hope Is that other folks come in and decide for themselves w heth­ er he’s right or wrong.’’ Despite Bill’s dire predictions the cafe inspector gave the dump a clean bill of health and now B ill’s afraid that he’ll have to take a Grade A rating. The first custom er in the place was a tram p printer, dead broke and hungry. Bill and Bess gave him all he could eat, on the house and sent him on his way rejoic­ ing.
