YOUR VICTORY GARDEN—

where radishes, lettuce, peas, spinach, green onions, early beans and early beets grew should be cieaned up, fertilized and put tor work again. The hot dry July days make it difficult for seed to germinate, so loosen and aerate the soil, fertilize and moisten before sowing. Make each furrow & little deeper than ordinarily, an inch spinach and radish seed: a good half-inch deep for lettuce, Chinese cabbage and endive; and two inches for beans and peas, if you have had success with fall peas. The soil should be pressed down firmly by the feet or better vet, bv the face of the hoe or rake, The firming of the soil brings the seed in contact with the moist soil and thus insures germination.

practice removes the protective

mulch as soon as the seedlings poke their heads through the soil. Failure to do so may cause the delicate seedlings to emerge in a damp environment and under conditions which e ncourage spindly growth and possible diseases. The gardener must encourage all late summer growing vegetables by sidedressing with Victory Garden fertilizer, applled dry at the rate of a pound for each 30 to 35 feet of row, or in liquid form, using two tablespoons of fertilizer to each gallon of water. “One gallon Will tover five square feet.

The hot, .dry weather during the past two mbnths has red the harvest from Victory Gardens this year as compared to Tues

"at least one-third. Commercial production of vegetables will be

slightly less, war réquirements are greater; therefore, a fall Victory

Garden is very important.

The. next 10 days can well be the most important period in this year’s garden program. Gardeners may make up some of the loss of summer crops by planting a fall garden. Some of the short season tender crops and many bf the short season hardy vegetables maf be sown,

‘In fact, summer-sown crops should be planted as late as possible and still have time to mature before killing frost. The later they are planted the less they are subjected to the extreme heat of summer, and most of them enjoy the cool moist weather of autumn. :

1 . The greatest hazard to a fall garden is obtaining good stands of summer-sown seeds. However, the insect pests and weeds are not so troublesome in the fall garden, and once the crop is started it will not require as much spraying or dusting and cultivation as the early summer crops.

If it is dry—pour a pint or more of water to each foot of opened furrow before dropping the seed; plant the seed slightly deeper than spring seeding; and cover the row with a board, old papers or mulching material until the seedlings are ready to emerge, then remove the covering,

Beets, Cos lettuce, Bibb lettuce, Chinese cabbage, kale, kohirabi, late peas, turnips, carrots, green beans and cucumbers. Only two of these crops will be killed by an early frost—green beans and cucumbers. The carrots and beets may not mature to large size, but they will be usable.

“Blossom-end rot” of the tomato fruits has been very dee struciive on the early tomatoes this year. This trouble is not a true disease, but a breaking down of the tissues around the blossom scar. The condition is associated with an uneven supply of water. A mulch will help to equalize the moisture supply.
