ORCHARD AND GARDEN CROPS
No. 6. Orchard and Garden Crop#.
By J. S. Knox, Extension Horticultur
ist, University of Arkansas.
Plan of Garden.—Few of us realize
tlie importance of some definite plan
to follow <n our garden work. We
plant the garden in a haphazard fash
ion, without any reference to the
kind of plants, time they are to oc
cupy the soil, and the space they re
quire in growing. Gardens that are
planted in the above way can never
give as good results or as much
pleasure as the ones that are carefully
planned before the planting season
comes on, and then carrying out the
plans made. There is generally a
j time during the winter when the av
erage farmer is doing very little, and
this is the proper tune to make a plan
for the garden that is to be planted
j during the spring and summer.
Arrangement of Plants.—The plants
should be arranged in the garden ac
cording to the length of time they are
to occupy the soil, as well as accord
ing to the kind of culture they re
quire. Plants like asparagus, rhubarb
and the various kinds of berries gen
erally occupy the soil for a number
I of years, and for this reason they
should be placed to one side (prefer
ably the north) of the garden. They
are then out of the way in cultivating
the annual plants which are not such
high growers generally. After the
perennial or long season crops have
been cared for, we may begin the
planting of the short season crops as
soon as the season opens. Plants
like beets, radishes, lettuce, peas, cab
bage, etc., can be planted very early
In the season, and as soon as danger
pf frost is past we can plant the ten
! dor vegetables, such as tomatoes, egg
plant, peppers, sweet corn, squashes,
cucumbers, etc.
Companion Cropping. — Sometimes,
especially where the space is limited,
it is desired to get as many different
kinds of vegetables as possible from
that small area. In this case we may
make use of what the gardeners see
flt to call companion cropping. It
onsists in growing two or more crops
n the same row at the same time or
if planting other vegetables in be
ween the other rows. For example,
f we have cabbage planted In rows
hree feet apart and eighteen inches
ipart In the row, we may put a hill of
ettuce between each hill of cabbage
nd then sow a row of radishes or tur
;ips between the row. These crops
I could be removed before a great deal
of damage had been done to the cah
bage, and in this way we hRve three
kinds of vegetables'where only one Is
commonly grown. This, however, is
very hard or exhaustive on the soil,
and so heavy fertilizing is essential.
Succession Cropping. — Here is
where so many of our gardeners fall
down on the gardening business ev
*rv year. If we expect to have fresh
vegetables all through the summer we
must make different plantings of the
same vegetable. For example, we
nlant a crop of beans in latter April,
and these begin to bear in June, and
probably last for three weeks or a
month and then all is over; bvit if we
make one planting In iatter April and
another about three weeks later, and
so on through the growing season, we
can have beans for several months
that have been picked from the vines
in our own garden. With some of the
early maturing vegetables we can
grow one crop and harvest it and then
grow a second crop on the same soil,
but this method is not to he recom
mended if it can he avoided, because
of the Increased chance of the last
crop heing attacked by disease and in
sects more severely.
Use of Mot Rpds.—The farmer who
desires to grow his own plants should
construct a hot bad similar to the one
described in Farmers' Bulletin 2f>5.
The hot bed is especially useful in
starting plants like cabbage, tomatoes,
egg plants, peppers, etc. and after the
plant shave bpen grown it can still
be used as a cold frame. The ma
nure used in constructing the hot bed
will still be good to use as a fertil
izer on the garden. In fact, it has
only rotted while In there, and if it
has not been allowed to remain over
wet it should still contain most of its
fertilizing value. Crops like lettuce
and radishes are often grown to ma
turity in old hot beds.

PARADISE FOR “JOY RIDERS’’
Work of Army Chauffeurs Would
Make Oldfield’s Hair Perma
nently Pompadour.
From St. Die to Le Rudlin is In the
neighborhood of thirty miles, and we
did it in something less than thirty
minutes, writes E. Alexander Powell
in Scribner’s Magazine. We went so
fast that the telegrnph poles looked
like the palings in a picket fence, and
we took the corners on two wheels so
as to save rubber.
Of one thing 1 am quite certain—if
I am killed in this war, it is not going
to be by a shell or a bullet; it is going
to be in a military motor car. No cars
save military ones are permitted on
the roads in the zone of operations,
and for the military cars no speed
limit exists. As a result the drivers
tear through the country as though
they were in the Vanderbilt cup race.
Sometimes, of course, a wheel comes
off, or they meet another vehicle when
going around a corner at full speed—
and the next morning there is a mili
tary funeral.
To be a driver of a military car in
the zone of operations is the joyrider's
dream come true. The soldier who
drove my car steered with one hand
because he had to use the other to
illustrate the stories of his exploits
in the trenches. Despite the fact that
we were on a mountain road, one side
of which dropped away into nothing
ness, when he related the story of how
he captured six Germans single-hand
ed, he took both hands oft the wheel
to tell about it. It would have made
Harney Oldfield's hair permanently
pompadour.
Memorable Derby Race.
The Derby of Running Rein—or,
rather, Orlando—will ever be mem
orable on account cf the gigantic
fraud perpetrated by a mob of
scoundrelly betting men, who entered
Running Rein, the horse which passed
the post first, relates London Tit
Bits.
Lord Bentinck helped the owner of
the seeond, Orlando, to sustain the ob
jection he lodged against the winner.
Many interesting anecdotes are told
of the fo'rmer's perseverance in prov
ing incontestably that the supposed
Running Rem was none other than a
four-year-old named Maccabaeus.
In this "Dirty Derby," as it has been
called, another four-year-old named j
Leander also ran, but he had to be de
stroyed immediately after the race, as
he broke his leg coming round Tatten
ham corner.
A dead heat was seen for the first
time so long ago as 1S28, Cadland win
ning the run-off, and the next dead
heat, that between St. GaJen and Har
vester, w~as allowed to stand.

IF YOU CAN’T GO TO A SUMMER RESORT
YOU CAN BRING ONE TO YOUR HOME
If you have a porch we have the equipment
to transform it into a veritable pleasure park.
And the expense—well, that’s our main
talking point.
A Hammock, a Porch Swing, Porch and Lawn
Chairs and other restful summer articles are
here waiting to make your hours of leisure
real hours of pleasure.
And there’s not a home that cannot afford
one or more of them at our surprisingly low
figures.

EARLY BUYING
Means More Service From Your Purchases.
No doubt you intend buying a new suit this
Spring or Summer, but you think you will
wait until real hot weather begins. That
plan, Mr. Man, is a mistake. You cannot pos
sibly wear out one of our suits in a season,
even if you wore it every day, and the eariler
you buy it the longer wear you will get from
it this year. Then too, an unexpected occa
sion may arise any day when you would wish
you had equipped yourself with your new
outfit. Come in at once. You have every
thing in your favor when buying early.
