When water Is used on the
garden, the soil should be mois
tened to a depth of six inches
or more, not merely dampened
on the surface. Light sprink
ling of vegetables will cause the
roots of tlie plunts to form near
the surface of the soil and con
sequently will require almost a
daily irrigation to maintain uni
form and steady growth. Mois
tening to a depth of six Inches
or more will aid deep root forma
tion which will not require daily
Irrigation. Hand sprinkling of
garden crops with a hose is of
very lltllo value because not
enough water is applied at any
one time to be of much value
to the crop. This method of ir
rigation is-misleading -because
it gives the plants a -refreshed
appearance but docs not get the
moisture down to the- root sys
tem where it is needed,
a - -
Garden crops vary in their
need for moislure to make them
grow properly. The root system
of various vegetable crops influ
ence the water requirements.
Adequate moisture in the top 12
inches of soil Is essential for rap
Id growth of shallow rooted
filants. More frequent Irrigation
s required for shallow rooted
vegetables because much of the
water in tho upper layer of soli
is lost during hot weather, due to
the rapid rate of evaporation.
e a
Lawn clippings, composts,
straw and leaves are excellent
mulching materials. A blanket
of this material i to 1-inch thick
will aid in preventing rapid eva
poration. Earwigs, cutworms
and other insects will get be
neath the mulch material and
feed on the vegetables. There
fore, it Is a good idea to apply
earwig and cutworm bait previ
ous to the application of the
mulching material.
Mulches, aro especially recom
mended for reducing fruit crack
ing and blossom end rot of toma
toes. The mulch for tomatoes
should be placed soon after the
plants have been set. This mate
rial can also be used to an ad
vantage with strawberry plants
as it prevents the berries from
resting on the ground and will
help to keep them clean. This
type of mulching will prevent
the soil from crusting. as well as
prevent evaporation. Gardeners
should avoid walking between
the rows of vegetables when tho
soil is wet as it causes the soil
to pack hard and will hinder
good vegetable growth.
Moisture is also robbed "from
vegetables by weeds. Not only

do weeds take moisture from
the garden but il takes the plant
food from the garden as well.
Cultivation of the garden has
one important function and that
is to control weeds. Weeds are
most easily killed when small
If they arc allowed to go bo
yond the seedling size they com
pete seriously with the vege
tables for plant food, water, light
and air. One should avoid deep
cultivation in tne vegetable gar
den. Experimental evidence
has proven that deep cultivation
very often restricts the crowth
of vegetables as very often the
feeder roots of the vegetables
are damaged, weekly but shal
low cultivations are almost nec.
cssary and cultivation is also
desirable following rains.
"A shuffle hoe" makes a con
venient cultivating tool for
scraping the surface and killing
the sprouted weeds. The larger
weeds may have to be hand
pulled. This is much easier done
and will not disturb the vege
tables if done when the toll is
moist.
This rain has been excellent
for gardens and possibly will
furnish plenty of moisture for a
few days. In the next week's
column we will have some more
information on garden, irrigation
methods. .

Oregon's growing importance
as a sweet corn canning state is
indicated by the fact that in the
10 years from 1834 to 1943 Ore
gon's canned pack has increased
from 33,406 to 212,035 cases, a
gain of more than 500 per cent.
Much of the increase is attri
buted to the introduction of bet
ter sweet corn hybrids well
adapted to use in this date, ac
cording to A. G. B. Bouquet and
Andrew Steiner of the vegetable
crops section at Oregon State
college. They are authors of a
circular of information, No. 361,
which list 31 yellow sweet corn
hybrids that have' been tested
here. Length of season and oth
er characteristics of each are
given.
While many hybrid varieties
have been introduced in the past
decade, the first one, . Golden
Cross Bantam, is still, predom
inant in popularity and acreage,
both for the open market end
for processing, the authors say.
Yearly testing of newly Intro
duced varieties is carried on at
the - experiment station to pro
vide information for growers.
The circular, which is devoted
entirely to a discussion of the
different varieties and their
origin, may be obtained at any
