When we notice the sun turning north and the day* getting longer, thia is the Arat sign ot ipring. and time to prepare for needing operations and general outdoor activities. The weather Is a bugaboo to many a backyard gardener who bases his knowledge of Jack Frost’s activities on hearsay. A better way is to consult the local weather man. or a reliable weather map. Then, he can plant with assurance, or at least with the chances in his favor of a sure harvest. A reasonably safe lime to plant is when there is only a 10 per cent chance of a killing frost This date can be determined for your locality by consulting the Department of Agriculture map above, and means that only in one year of ten wIU there occur a freere likely to damage your tender garden subjects. The more venturesome per ion whose tarte for early greens and lender roots make him gamble on a

The first portable equipment to ' service the bulky farm seeds was ' In two counties of southern Ind-r iana in 1»32 and since that time has spread tn .IK of the state'* #2 countle*. The convenience aa well as the economy of servicing field seeds in this way has been largely responsible for the growth Epidemics of bunt or stinking smut In wheat have been checked by the treating ot seed with the automatic treater. The extended use of the com- | hine harvester In Indiana accentu- 1 ates the need for thorough tlean-' ing of field seeds because almost all the weed seeds are returned to the soil with the screenings Thu*, clean seed and clean < rop* are highly important if losses from field weeds are to he prevented I make variations from them' The variation* change the appearance , of later produr t*. a* plain dough can lie used to make an upsidedown cake Another portion may have spices addeil and be baked as drop takes A third portion may have chocolate added for a layer i ake.

possible wintry blast to get them, will choose the average date.of the last killing frost. This is about two weeks earlier, and the chances of losing a crop or two of tender vegetables is more than doubled The latest recorded killing frost is about a m<mth later than the average, although this io not true everywhere In New York, for instance, it Is only 2b days, while in St Louis it io 3g and in Cleveland and Chicago it is M A month, however io good enough for practical purposes. It should be borne in mind that many vegetables will stand an ordinary light frost, so long as it io not a ■ freeze. Gardeners can well spend frees* ing indoor days in gathering weather data, and looking over the new , seed lists. When you know the i actual date to begin, it Is a waste I ot time to delay a day. and a still greater waste U» start rattier.
