Notes From the Garden
This Group Goes First
For the gardener's convenience
most flowers and vegetables ar-
range themselves into three main
planting groups. In the first, are
the hardy things such as sweet
peas, cosmos, alyssum, poppy and
a host of others. These won't mind
a bit of frost, especially while in
the early stages of germination
and growth and they actually pre-
fer to get started in the cool wea-
ther.
Just as soon as the soil is fit to
work it is safe to sow any of the
hardy kinds. Indeed in some of
the warmer parts of the country
some of these could be planted in
the fall and the'' seeds allowed to
lie dormant over the winter,
though there is not much to be
gained by this practise.
Another early bird is grass seed.
One cannot sow this too soon, but
here again of course the soil must
be ready, • not muddy and not too
dry. A good test is to take a hand-
ful of soil, compress it in the fist
and then let go. If the soil crum-
bles, that means it is safe to start
digging and planting; but if it
compacts into a ball it is still too
wet and one will tlo more harm
than good by starting to work it.
Nursery stock, too, should be
planted early, so that it can get
started before the sun• gets hot.
Spread Them Out
Among the vegetables there are
many that are quite hardy, such as
peas, carrots, beets, the first row
or so of potatoes. With vegetables,
however, it is most important that
we spread out the plantings so that
we may have a succession of har-
vests.
Good vegetables like a lot of
other things are at their top flavor
and tenderness only for a relative-
ly Short time; so' instead of sowing
the whole packet at once we usual-
ly plant some early, some about
the average time, and a third lot
late. In this way we make sure
that from July on, there will. be
some vegetables coming on to the
peak of perfection all, the time. A
still longer succession can be se-
cured by using early, medium and
late varieties. In the seed cata-
logue all this information about
hardiness, earliness and the num-
ber of days to maturity, is noted
for the gardener's guidance.
Don't Throw It Away
Where the garden is of fair size
it is an excellent plan to have
some secluded corner, screened off
by vines, shrubbery, lattice work,
or a rustic fence or wall, where
we can have a compost heap. This
with a little care and planning does
not have to be messy, in fact it
can be kept almost as neat and
attractive as any other corner.
For the compost heap itself, all
that we need: will be a few rough
boards stained, or better still,, con-
crete building blocks sufficient to
make a box -like affair four feet
by four and two feet deep or larg-
er. If we are going to compost
garbage refuse, it is also advis-
able to provide the box with a
screened and hinged top to keep
out flies, dogs, and so on. Into the
compost heap goes anything that
will rot: grass clippings, leaves,
weeds, clean garbage like coffee
grounds, orange • rinds; banana
skins, egg shells, etc. Over two
or three inch layers of refuse, it
is advisable to spread a layer of
earth to which we can add a little
lime and chemical fertilizers to
hasten composting. Every few
weeks it is also advisable to soak
thoroughly. The top of the heap
should be kept roughly level.
Grow Your Own Vitamins
Most people grow vegetables be-
cause they like to eat them and
eat them while they are really
fresh and crisp. But there are
valuable vitamins in them, too.
Lettuce, for instance, and especial-
ly leaf lettuce which is more ex-
posed to the sun than the other
kinds, is high in vitamin A. Car-
rots will supply the same vitamin
and for a longer period as this
vegetable of course will keep well
in storage. For vitamins B and B2
as well as A, kale is highly re-
commended. It contains about
twice as much vitamin as ordin-
ary cabbage and it is easier to
grow. For the highly prized vita-
min C, . nothing is 'better than a
fresh tomato.

FARM NEWS OF HURON
Very little, if any, seeding has
taken place to date. Land was al-
most ready Last week, but further
cool damp weather with skiffs of
snow has curtailed operations—the
odd field of sod has been plowed.
There is very little growth in
fall wheat and barley. Greater
amounts of nitrogen are being us-
ed on wheat, barley and meadows
than ever before.
A strong Red Cross means a
stronger community.

anywhere. We certainly are grateful to
you, the general public, who help to
make the show possible by your attend-
ance. And each year when the ques-
tion comes up: .Do we do it again or
