professor of olericulture at\ Penn State Cpllege. ‘‘For instance,” he paid, “in early April, he might plant together sucfy hardy crops as peas, leaf lettuce and radishes. These plants grow quickly and are ready for harvest in June and July. Once they’re out, late cal/bage, fall beets and carrpts, or perhaps caultiflower and broccoli, can be substituted. “The garden will thus be producing right on through the fall months.” < i Odland suggested that the inexperienced gardener contact the nearest farm agent for information on what type of vegetables to plant. * > "Agents will gladly supply infornjation to any gardener, no matter how large or small his plot,” he daid. | x | ' ■

/ Don’t Hurry ' The time to begin, a vegetable garden, he said, depends on where you live and what type of ,soil you have. Experienced gardeners, according to Odland, are 4 ever ln too much of a .hurry to 6tart. He they know that he|vy soil dries out slowly and no work, should begin until the earth can be turned over and broken into mely low’ grains or lumps’; Odland suggested tha^ 'gardeners who want to get an ear}y start should begin early in April when the soil has dried Enough to be turned over. I; j. “Choose a sunny site fpr your garden,” Odland advised. i’Try to avoid trees whiqh will shade the garden, as well as steal moisture and valuable nptrients from the soil. After selecting the locale,

yotir first step will be to spade it thoroughly.” V After the spading comes the fertiliser. The last step iin readying The) plot for planting, Odlpnd said, is baking it down, both to spread ithe fertilizer -and breajk up lumps left from spading. | Tj’he gardener then faces the question of whether to grow his cro is from seeds or t6 s transplant seedlingh. " mJ , ' « y-j Irrigation ■ 4 “It’s \hard to lay down any rigid rulej here,” Odland sayfi. “The caliber of available seedlings varies. If ylou know your source is reliahTel fine. Transplanting does elimjinate some work* since it makjes weeding easier and gives an Earlier crop." j i -,] When planting the garden, keep the jrows straight and all in one

direction, Odland said. ,■ “Be sure, too, to leave enough ropm between the rows so that you can get in later to weed and harvest,” he said. The Penn State professor advised home gardeners to sow their seed "a little heavy.” He said some i seeds won’t germinate completely, and the space alloted them is (then left unfilled. ‘ r One pisfall\ the inexperienced gardener to beware,” Odland warned, "is irrigation.” Running a hosfe over the garden during a dry spell is little or no help. I The soil, which may have dried jout to a considerable depth, should be saturated with an inch of water. This may be a suminjg process, but it’s absoliitely necessary if you don’t want the plants stunted.’!

Another probleqK Odland pointed out, is insect jfcntrol. He said this must be as a preventive measure, “Get started any reail damage haspJFen done,”, he aaW- i ; 1 ) I . <- r- j — . And Why Not?
