by Western Homes Foundation

Is a home of light and space and i

"The Quinault and the 23 1
other designs in the series of 1
western living homes arc exam-1
pies of the building industry's
great progress in production j
facilities and materials during
the past decade." W. C. Bell, !

unit of the industry In every
community. The local design

been geared In with the services
of real estate merchants, build

Tips From Garden Notebook
By A Klamath Gardener
pVERY once In awhile a gard
ener will find thot he has
thought up some little method to
simplify some gardening task.
It makes him wonder why he
did not think of it sooner.
Such a thing happened to this
gardener recently. It just so hap
pens that my special garden bug
aboo is setting out plants. It
seems to me that it is the worst
possible task for the gardener.
Digging the holes, crawling
along or atooping to put in the
plants, not to mention watering
and keeping them from drying
up in the hot aummer sun.
Finding myself with an over
supply of late cabbage plants,
which my thrifty soul rebelled
at throwing away, the problem
arose as to where to put them
and how little hard work it
would take to care for them.
Out of the turmoil came this
method. For making the holes,
something easier than digging
them with a hoe or shovel. Why
not some way of making a hole
large enough to receive the
plants with one thrust say a
pointed stick? Not so good, as
a stick big enough would take
some thrust to make the hole
deep enough for the plants which
were rather long and spindly
A scouting trip out back, where
discarded objects usually come
to rest brought to light a dis
carded shovel handle, which had
been sawed off about half way.
For some reason also the iron
sleeve had been left on where
the shovel originally was. There
was my garden tool all made
to order, except for taking it to
a piece of iron and taking a ham
mer and flattening out the end
so that it would be sharp enough
to penetrate the earth easily.
That iron piece on the end was
just right. The stick is just long
enough so that the shoulder can
get behind that thrust when it
is put into the ground and one
does not need to stoop over too
much. It occurs to me that if
one is lucky enough to get a
hold of a regular short handled
spade or shovel with the regular
hand hold on top it would be
better still.
As the garden was rather dry
and I would need plenty of
water in this job anyway, why
not make it easier still? So with
my hoc I made the little ditch
for one row, and while it was
Si
filling with water t made an
other. By the way, I ran out of
space about the first thing, so I
decided to plant cabbages right
along with the strawberry plant?
I set out rather late this spring.
They won't need all the space in
the wide rows this year anyway.
The extra water and fertilizing
and cultivating it will take to
make that cabbage crop keep
i coming along will work wonders
for the strawberries. In fact
coming right along with the cab
bage. Also little rows were made
beside the peas, which will soon
be pulled out anyway. Early
plants were planted some time
ago beside the lettuce and spin
ach and radishes, so the cab
bage crop now holds full posses
sion. Also any place in any row
of other stuff that is empty re
ceives a cabbage plant. This is
just some more adventuring in
super gardening which I men
tioned some time ago.
As soon as the newly made ;
row has filled with water and
the ground soaked up, new rows
were made to receive water, and
as soon as the water had seeped
into the ground, I took my shovel
handle tool and went down the
row, poking holes about every
18 or 20 inches. The holes should
be six or eight inches deep, as
those spindly plants are drop
ped into them right up to the
lirst leaves. That puts the roots
down where the earth is moist
and cool so that when the plants
become established I won't have
to worry about watering so
often. They make big cabbage
heads that way too.
As soon as the plants had been
dropped in, the .water was again
run down the row, washing in
water and soil around the roots.
As the plants had been rather j
close together in the place that
they were originally grown, I .
soaked the bed well and then
pulled up the plants by grasping
them near the ground and pull
ing gently.
While the water was running
down more rows, I took my
stick and went down the row,
setting it in the ground about an
inch from the hole holding the
plant and shoving the moist
earth against the plant in the
hole, thereby shutting out the
air. That proceedure was as far
as I went for the day. I used no
shade of any kind, depending
IT'S EASY UNDER F.H.A.
For example, you can purchase:
New bath fixtures
New cabinets and trim
New linoleum (installed)
New paint and new tileboard
New towel racks and new shower fixtures
Or a new kitchen sink and cabinets
A new 30 gallon electric hot water heater
installed.
Payment above based
under F.H.A.
A
on the moisture and the cool
nights and the deep setting to
offset any effects of sun and
wind. While the larger leaves
do wilt, they could be picked
off, but trying to save time and
labor I did not bother the plant
until the morning after they
were set, when water was again
run down the rows and filling
the holes at the side of the plant
carrying more moisture to those
deep set roots. It is at that time
that it is a good idea to put either
fine barnyard manure or com
mercial fertilizer along the row
so that it will wash into the
holes and make the nourishment
quickly available for the newly
set plants. In the next day or two
the rows were hoed and the
holes filled up. Keep watering
after that.
