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.

in gardening or have questions

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

country last Friday. It consists of
three rows, one of Russian uuve,
one of Chinese elm and one of
Ponderosa pine. I am betting
that this planting will have good
care and progress rapidly if the
family continues the enthusiasm
with which the project was start
ed. Rudy has taken over the job
of watering to keep it coming the
first year. ,
A shelterbelt in the planning
stages is one at the Harold Camp
bell farm in the Alpine country
near Buttercreek. Chinese elm,
Russian olive and Ponderosa pine
are planted in the garden for the
first year. Caragana will be plant
ed within the next few days for
the start of the brushy low hedge
row. This planned planting will
give protection for a new rome
planned by the Campbells.
