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.

Where smaller quantities are

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.

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.
