Fall Preparation for the Vege- • table Garden, • Probably no effort is SO well repaid as that given to the development ef a goad vegeta,ble garden. • It is wise to Make preparation foe 'Ellie in the fall, in order to realize the benefit* accruing from the earlY ao.Wing .°I many vegetable crops. There is aeallY no good reason why the vegeNsble garden should not be prepared in the fall except that the time necessary to do so is usually not given to it. It is assumed that a certain area is set aside for the v-egets,tle garden. If this is not the cage, by all means set aside a certain plot now, locating it rea.sonably near, the house so that vegetables may be conveniently gath- ered with a minimum lees of time to the houeewife, • • stateplinyatwrairerietYpteor tweereer4Y.

Tilde may be overcame by giv- ing a little thought now to the. de- velopment of a spot where seed may be sown just as soon as the surface soil is dry to the depth of one or two filches, It is quite often possible to sow seeds outside on such a plot about the middle of April.
