At no time In many years has the
aleseity and Importance of the
home vegetable garden been so clear-
ly
learly shown as for thls.pming summer.
Trance, our wonderful ally, has "lace
the French Revolution been a nation
of small farmers, her people et small
'means culthvating some available
land to produce a portion of their
own household foodstuffs and to in-
crease the wealth of the nation;
Great Britain, threatened with •
shortage of foodstuffs, determined to
cultivate all available land possible
to offset this shortage and we in
Canada bending every energy toward
facilitating these great nations
should do all in our individual power
to do something in the hope of help-
ing ourselves and assisting the com-
mercial vegetable growers wbo are
seriously handicapped by the short-
age of tabor in the production of
vegetable foodstuffs. Every city.
town, and village dweller leas an op-
portunity to help this great work,
in that there are hundreds of avail-
able plots now practically unproduc-
ties whkh could be made grow
vegetables and thus add to the
wealth of the country.
Vegetables an Important Food.
Vegetables should form an import-
ant parboil of the daily food or the
average human being,for they possess
qualities win.!h we are told are essen-
tial in tbe proper digestion of the
heavy foods, sucb as meats. To help
you do your part In your backyard
this column will discuss some of the
practical problems In connection
with vegetable growing during the
&eat few weeks.
All backyards cannot be prepared
In one year to grow vegetables of an
excellent qu'allty. Slime portion of
the peed. however, may be devoted
to this purpose. or, if it is conveniient,
there are usually many vacant lots
which are not too far from one's
place of abode which possibly could
be devoted to the growing of veget-
ables.
Some Essentials.
First of all jt is essential that the
vegetable garrn, no matter how
small. be planted according to some
plan or rule. Ne one attempts bo
build a bocse or to set out a peren-
nial flower border without using
some drawing or chart to go by. Why
should the vegetable garden be treat-
ed differently' Haphazard planting
will prove a failure, and in order to
overcome this it should be remem-
bered in laying out the garden that—
(1) Tall plants will be moat effec-
tive if placed beblud low ones, not
lntermlingled with them.
(2) All plants closely allied
should be grown together, not in the
same row, but in rows adjoining one
another.
(3) The fences may be decorated
with vine crops which may be sup-
porteg on the fences by means of
strings or lattice work.
(4) All quickly maturing veget-
ables should be planted In a portion
of the garden by themselves so the:
they may be harvested and the
ground used for other crops later
on.
The work of planning the garden
to determine what vegetables and
how much of each is to be grown
will be influenced by one', individ-
ual tastes. One should grow an
abundance of such crops as one con-
sumes the most.
secure seed Now—But Plant Only
When soil is Ready.
The backyard gardener should de-
cide very early which crops are to
be grown and should purchase his
seed as soon as possible. It must be
remembered. however, that much of
Ole seed may be wasted If it is
planted too early in the season. Tbe
soil must be warns to receive the
seeds, and amateur gardeners must,
have patience until it N certain that
good growing weather le really here.
it la possible in ordinary 'seasons to
plant some vegetables In April, and
yet many backyard vegetable en-
thuslasts will be well advised to 1
wait until the middle of May before
dding very much le the garden.
Suitable Varieties.
A list of varieties suitable for Og
gardens made by city, town, and vil-
lage dwellers follows:—

Yesterday and To -day
Wooden shingles of twenty or thirty year. ago were of splendid
quality. and ane ered the purpose very well There was nothin,4
better at that tide. In fact no other roofing material was on the
market Yet who would think of putting on shingle.. to -day? When
the deterloratio& of wooden shingles became noticeable, efforts were
made to invent a roofing that would not only be an economical
and permanent substitute for wooden shingles. but one that would
outlast them in service. -
Brantford Roo/Ing wasthe result it has "made good." The
secret of its success is this: First, the base is of pure. Iron -fibred
felt which is thoroughly saturated with asphalt or mineral pitch.
The asphalt and crystal roll roofings are then thickly coated with
crushed rock pertideet. which adhere tightly to that base. and the whole
fortes a parmu ent fireproof. water -tight roof.
Brantford Asphalt and Rubber Roofing are made in three
different weights. Crystal is made in heavy weight only. and red d or green natural colors. AL three grades are pliable and
weal suited to either flat of «sup sods.
Branfford
Roofing
comes in rolls with protected ends. Tbe layers do not stick together
and the roofing is easily laid. It requires no painting or tarring
when put on. ft does not crack with the cold nor melt with the
summer's heat It does not curl. split. wt or blow off. It gives
permanent weather and fire protection at a reasonably low initial cost.
May we send you our roofing book and samples? They
will show you the real value of these roofing materials.
