I li r ( R It i Gardening Is Interesting And Profitable Sport J* Gardening is no longer the hob by of a few who “like to burrow in the back yard.” The garden is the playground of many men and women to whom the boon of fresh air, sunsfiine and healthy exercise would be denied otherwise in any- thing like the necessary propor- tions. Wholesome contact with na- ture, while right at home, ia a common custom nowadays and an important factor in health and wel- being. This easy access to the out-of- doors is not only healthy, but pro ductive of substantial results. Un like the golf links or the tennis court, the garden brings a return in growing things, in addition to the returns in health. The sport of gardening pays for itself. It is like all other goods sports, you have to get into it to find out how interesting it is. Once started, every day brings something new, some more interesting experi ence or success.

It is well to sow your seed early in the spring as possible. In the climate of the Pacific north west and the Pacific coast, a suc cession of crops is possible. Many Jiome gardeners have learned the value of sowing succession crops throughout the summer and until late in the fall. In this way, fresh vegetables for fall and winter use are provided, in addition to those needed for the summer table. Getting good seed- is half the battle. Even the most experienced farmers have to watch this factor closely. Seeds that are free of weeds are produced by a large seed company by methods which are more painstaking than the in dividual could practice. The most careful trial growings, methode of ripening, threshing and storing, pro duce tested seeds of known quality and measured productiveness. For the best nesults in the Pa cific northwest should be - sown with seed produced in this section. They are more suitable and more productive, because grown in a land favored by climate, soil and rainfall for seed production. Such seed is ‘ also more quickly pro ductive in more southerly climates* than is seed produced In these same warmer localities. It comes in earlier, probably because it is harder and more resistant. In a warmer land, with less risistance to overcame, it forges to the top more rapidly.
