Single Copy 10 cents. From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson With a few sunny days, making everyone want to get outside, gardening is the first thought of many, vegeiame gardens are going to be needed as much or more in 1952 as in any year we have seen. Money to buy the ne cessities of living is becoming harder to find by most people. Work with vour garden soil only when it is In proper condi tion. It pays to prepare the soil well. Early vegetables have been planted by many. With the cold days and frosty nights we have been having there has been no big hurry to get the garden plant ed. Early vegetables should be planted when the soil is in good working condition. Plant only enough for your use until later planting will be ready. Young tender vegetables are better tasl ing and better for you. Keep them coming along. Make a succession of plantings carrots, beets and radishes. The for crops such as peas, lettuce, later, warm season crops such as corn, beans, cucumbers, and mel. ons should not be planted until the soil is warm and the danger of frost has passed. If you have room for a fairly large garden you have room for some small fruits. It . doesn't necessarily require much room for berries. Strawberries can be grown in a barrel, pyramid bed, terraced bed, border planting, or in rows In the garden. Raspberries make a good hedge row along the side of the garden or along the fence. Trailing terries can be trained to grow in a similar fash ion. Even a few plants will give the family breakfast fruit in sea son and a few more will add to the processed supply. Have you noticed the price of rhubarb and the fine quality of it? A few hills in the back yard give the average family all it wants for present use and at a minimum cost. Those of you who are beginners in gardening or have questions might find the following bulle tins of help to you. They are available from the office.

Each year more Morrow County farmers show interest in provid ing a more comfortable living for themselves on their farms. This is done by building new homes, remodeling old, addition of labor saving devices, and many other ways. One of the ways of enjoying your home, that is often overlook ed by many, is that of planting a shelterbelt. This provides just what the name implies, shelter. In addition the trees in such a planting provide enjoyment in watching them grow, shade and a place for birds. Most of all they protect the house and farmstead from winds and dust that are common on most dryland farms. Several good shelterbelts have been started here. Some have been started then neglected. They must have care to succeed. One of the most promising shel terbelt plantings is one mat is now two years old, on the E. M, Baker farm near lone. This gave a faster growth and allowed for a summerfallow job on the site for planting. Evergreens were left in the garden for two years to obtain more growth. The plant ing, consisting of four rows, uses Caragana for the windward side brushy row; Chinese Elm for the all hardwood, with two rows of evergreens, iondcrosa and Scotch pines. Rows are planted 11 feet apart for working with tractor and .springtoot h type implement This implement purchased espec lally for the tree planting is easily lifted and used between the rows. A watering, using the farm spray tank (2,4-D removed. provides moisture that will grow the trees faster. The shelterbelt established as a 4-II Conserva tion project by Ronald Baker, is well worth seeing by those that say trees cannot be grown on our dryland farms. Another promising shelterbelt is one planted at the Eric Berg Gooseberry for Vegetable Strom farm in the jMf Served, in wf jmW &menicas finest W Kffif Hemes btj Clmerueas mcuitcst ladies jjj NO fATS ADDED ' ABOUT 44 CALORIES vlMaSuUl' PER THIN SLICE illxlk:Xi:li:t; Several Attend P-TA Conference From Boardman By Mrs. Flossie Coats Several Boardman members at tended the PTA conference in Pendleton last week, Those at tending the convention were Mrs. Elvin Ely, Mrs. Fred Smith, Mrs. W.
