Backaches, however, aro not tho only results of their efforts. Many gardeners Iihvo already reaped a harvest of radishes, onions, lettuce, spinach, turnips, carrots and other early garden vegetables, and they nil claim that there Is nothing so good as Vegetables right out of your own garden. Whether it bo Just a "two by four" pieco of ground or a gar den much larger, each cultiva tor, and these Includo men. women and children, Is proud of his achievement and loves to talk about how the parsnips Bre coming or how tall the corn Is getting. Copco Reports Copco reports that over a thousand persons huvo applied for tho cheaper water rates given to gardeners with plots 200 squnro feet or over. A good many of tho larger gardens have not been reported and there ure many small putches not elcgiblc for tho water rates. All in all, a very high pcrccntago of Klam ath citizens aro doing their bit for tho war effort by raising some of their own food. " Most city gardeners when in terviewed reported that they hnd very Utile troublo with dogs molesting tho plants and ns yet insects were not doing much damage. Franey Gordon Typical of backyard gardens Is that of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kraney of 2030 Fremont street. Enclosed by a high white fence, Reclaimed From - Inmates at tha federal penitentiary on McNeil Island. Wash., examine cables reclaimed from damaged naval ships at Pearl Harbor. They will bo salvaged for tha vital war materials they contain. the Francy gnrden covers an area of approximately 2000 squait: feet and Includes almost every kind of vegetable that con be grown here. This good'Sized plot entails good deal of work and Franey says that his is not only a "V but also a "BB" gnrden. "BB. in case anyone is interested, stands for "bnck-breoklng." However, a good dish of spln ach fresh from the ground is worth it, Franey decided. Coming up beautifully arc radishes, lettuce, peas, carrots, beets, spinach, chard, broccoli, cabbage, corn, beans, cucum bers, onions, bell peppers, dill. parsley, chive, rhubarb, rasp. berries, struwberrics and toma toes. Small Gardens Proving Unit vegcttibles can bo grown even under adverse circumstances is tho small gar den of Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Car nahnn and Mr. and Mrs. . J, Champagne. These families, though they llvo on tho steep purl of North Sixth street and have no back yards at all, decided to plant a victory garden anyway. So Champagne furnished the seed and Carnuhan the labor, and radishes, turnips, carrots, beets and peas wore planted in the parking strip between tho side' walk and the street. The ground Is at an approxi mate 45dcgrco angle and no one believed that tho seed wouldn't bo washed away. But at tbo time tho picture was tak en that little plot of ground had vegetables Just as far advanced as any in tho city. Wall-Advanced Garden Well-advanced is the 2500 square foot garden belonging to Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Simmons of 6:i0 High street. Using almost the entire back yard for his garden, Dr. Sim. mons has corn, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, onions, endive, carrots, turnips, peas, tomatoes and Pearl Harbor n. a 1 ',5 Mi , I' I .

The lower right picture shows Mrs. Arthur Simmons working in their back-yard garden at 639 High street. beets growing in tho wire fenced enclosure. Many of the vegetables have been or aro now ready for eat ing. Df. and Mrs. Simmons both enjoy working among the plants in tho evening, and even their dog, Chief, would love to hilp if someone would only let mm insido the fence. As it is, ho has to be content with sitting on tho outside dolefully watching the proceedings. Partnership Joint cultivators, Mrs. L. F. Costel and Mrs. Z. W. Dixon, havo taken time out from their housework and OWAC duties to raise a good-sized garden of 900 square feet at 243U Vine street. Mrs. Costel and ,Mrs. Dixon, who got their planting in early, already havo largo turnips ready to cat besides lettuce, onions, radishes and spinach. Alto, their garden includes yeas, potatoes, beans, corn, ruta bagas, squash, cucumbers, cab bage, chard, tomatoes, carrots, beets, parsnips, strawberries and raspberries. Tho two women have done all tho work themselves. Well-Planned Beautifully laid out and pi u n nod is tho large garden be ing raised by Tom Gates, Copco employe, on a pioco of the com pany's property on Conger. Gates, however, Is not an am ateur liko most of tho vegetable growers around Klamath Falls, but is a gardener by trade and hns been employed at various gardening Jobs around town in cluding the planning and entire work on Earl Whitlock's Mem ory garden.

It has a soft, smooth rind and may bo used raw as a salad material or stuffed and baked, The yellow variety, known as the Crook-neck, is perhaps the most popular. The small bumps and crooked neck which were so pronounced in this variety years ago aro only faintly noticed to day. Plant scientists have been breeding to straighten out the neck so that the squash will pack better in the crates for shipping. Tho green variety is known os Zucchini or Italinn squash. It is long, slender and cylindrical in shape and its dark green ring is striped with' white. Zucchini makes a very tempting dish eith er boiled, sauteed or simmered in tomato sauce. No matter which variety you select, be sure the squash is fresh, free from blemishes, fairly heavy for its size, with a skin that Is easily punctured.
