Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 1942. PAGE SEVEN BETTER QUALITY IF VEGETABLES GROWTH IS FAST Vegetable gardening U more test ot technique than flower gardening for the average ama teur. The dahlia fancier, who measures the aize of his blooms, and some other varieties of gar den specialists may not agree to this statement. But the average gardener does not specialize to the extent of measuring his flowers; and his sense of taste and consciousness of tenderness in food are more exact indica tion of quality than his objerva- tion of the beauty of his flowers. ' The first object of vegetable garden technique is to keep them growing without Interrup tion. Fast growth is an indica tion of good health and normal development, which produce vegetables of the proper type. When growth Is Interrupted by any cause, the character of a vegetable changes. The change may not be evident in color; it Is always evident in size and usually by the toughness of fiber. Sometimes the flavor is noticeably changed. Leaf let tuce, which grows slowly, be comes tough and bitter. Three factors govern the speed of growth soli, water and plant food. All these art subject to con trol in city gardens. Tempera ture has an effect upon growth and when it is abnormal it may spoil a crop. Temperature is beyond control, but it rarely varies sufficiently from normal to have more than temporary effect upon crops. Make your vegetable garden in a spot where it can be wat ered. Prepare the soil deeply, driving the blade of the spade down perpendicularly its full length, breaking up the soil thoroughly. In the old days you would have spaded in each year from six inches to a foot of stable manure, but nowadays it is rarely obtainable. One must use the modern plant foods, which on the whole are easier, pleasanter, and more effective. One does not spade In the modern plant foods. They are much more quickly available to plants than manure. After the soil has been prepared and raked smooth, then the plant food should be broadcast and raked Into the top three Inches. A balanced plant food should be used which contains all the food elements in good proportions. It may be used liberally. During the season applica tions of plant food should be made by sprinkling along the row at the rate of a tablespoon to a yard of row. For plants which it is desired to force, such as head lettuce, weekly applica tions will be effective. The standard application of a Keep Beauty Alive!

TtL Jtil. .!. balanced plant food la four pounds per 100 square feet (a space 10 x 10 feet square.) You may figure one pound per pint. so an area 10 by 10 feet requires two quarts. One quart will feed SO square feet and one pint 23 square feet Where smaller quantities are required, use a rounded table spoon per square foot. For con venience, here is a table show ing some common areas and the standard balanced plant food application for each: 5 ft. x 5-ft. equals 23 sq. ft. -requires 1 lb. (or 1 pint).

Plenty of Seeds Available For All Victory Gardening Is there shortage of seeds for victory gardens? This ques tion was answered at meeting of the victory garden committee of the Chicago metropolitan de fense area by James A. Young, executive secretary of the American Seed Trade associa tion in a very positive mannr. "You have only to go to the place where you usually buy your garden seeds in order to learn that anything you ask for is available," he said. "In a great majority of cases not even the prices have advanced for the quantities which are purchased by home gardeners. "The garden seed trade Is ac customed to carry large reserves of seed," said Mr. Young. 'There is always the possibility of a crop failure, and to protect the country from a food shortage in such event, the trade usually has on hand enough to supply a one year demand."

Mr. Slsemore, for the last 42 years a resident of Fort Klam ath, Ore., passed away in Port land, on Friday, March 20. 1942, at 3:30 a. m., following an illness of three weeks. He was a native of Sams Valley, Ore. and at the time of his death was aged 72 years, 8 months and 8 days. Surviving are three sons, J. R., of Fort Klamath. J. E. and L. Orth Sisemore of i this city; also two grandchil dren. Mr. Slsemore was a mem- ber of Klamath Falls lodge No. 1247 BPOE. Mr. Sisemore was well known 'in the Rogue River valley. He I was at one time a deputy sher iff of Jackson county. A carefully planned layout wil save many hours work in planting and cultivating your victory garden. Make your plan during the early months before the soil can be turned. While jood vegetables will grow in crooked rows or even if the seed is broadcast over beds, the work of cultivating and caring for the plants is immeasurably reduced If the seed is sown in straight rows. Take the trouble to stretch a line, and mark the row with exactness; it will save hours when the time comes to push a wheel hoe down the aisle between them. Rows running north and south ore best to let sunshine reach the soil after the plants are well grown. Distance between the rows may vary considerably. In small gardens, well supplied with plant food, rows of low growing crops may be as close as 6 inches. The best distance for crops not exceeding 2 feet In height is 18 Inches, which enables you to cultivate each aisle in one trip with the wheel hoe. Your plan should provide for ;he whole season. This means in some cases, two or more crops grown in the same row. Where several successive crops of the same vegetable are desired, (here are two methods of getting them. Either sow at about the same time early, midseason and late varieties, which will come into yield at different times, or make several sowings of the same variety, 10 days or two weeks apart. Where directions say sow in a drill. It means a shallow furrow Sowing in hills does not mean in elevations, unless you live in a section of heavy rainfall. It means a seriee of spots, evenly spaced, at each of which several seeds are sown, as contrasted with the continuous row which is termed a drill. Vine crops are usually sown in "hills," and they need room to spread. Plan your garden so that early sowings are made at one end. and the rows are added In reg ular order, as planting proceeds, so that the planted area is al ways comolete without vacant 'pace This simplifies cultiva tion and irrigation. Remember that to sow In straight rows, to thin out prop erly so your plants have room to grow, to cultivate faithfully so that weeds never grow, and protect your plants against in sects and diseases these four points carefully observed will make your garden on of pro fessional quality.
