Garden Farm Notes The good potato bug dies young. Oats makes a most nutritious green food. It pays to do right when you am plowing corn. Oats, peas and barley are sometimes soWn together. Com should not be planted until ths ground is warm and dry. Leave no long nails sticking up .out of fallen rails or posts in the pasture Com planted In mellow soil will f germinate and make a strong, healthy growth. Deep cultivation cuts off the side roots of the com, and destroys a part of the crop. Nearly every careful fanner has that variety of com best suited for his sol) and climate. Two ounces of corrosive sublimate to 16 gallons of water makes a solution that kills potato scab. No use to treat potatoes for scab 11 they are to be planted In ground In which scabby potatoes grew last year. Plant the first row or two of space along the fence In the cornfields atU Joining the pasture lands to potatoe? Use slaked lime for the striped squash or cucumber bug. An early vine makes a trap to catch the fli;st ones. Com that yields well in one locality will often make an entire failure In Another locality where conditions are different. The keynote of suocess In com i growing Is frequent shallow cultiva. jtlons rather than occasional deep cultivations. For corn, cabbage and tomatoes, ■plow down clover sod or clover and grass sod. Harrow and roll until fine land very mellow. Land plaster is an excellent absorbent to use In the gutters and Its use increases the value of the manure to a large extent.
