For Spring Gardening

A Well-Drained Plot Is Workable Earlier By MARGUERITE SMITH THIS IS THE time to get ready for a really early plot of lettuce, radishes and peas next spring. The gardeners who “ate out of the garden” early this past season were the ones who prepared last fall. The rest of us lamented that we couldn't find ‘enough time between rains to do our planting. With prices high and promising to be higher, with every likelthood that néxt spring will bring the usual continuous- and possibly heavy rains, you'll find it worthwhile to your grocery budget if you plan ahead. : If your garden is flat and not easily drained, or if it lies low where water stands after a single heavy rain, you can raise the level of a small patch and provide drainage for it by piling all the leaves onto it that you can get. A quite small area will do for a few onions, a little lettuce and a row or two of peas, By the time you're ready to put out carrots and beets in a normal year, most soils are dry enough to work. Obviously the smaller the area you prepare for “this early garden the higher you can raise it against spring flood. = = : IT'S GOOD practice to sprinifie some lime between layers of leaves before you turn them under. A pound of agricultural lime to 50 square feet will not be too much, You may want to add bone meal or superphosphate now, too. Becoming slowly available for plant food, they will be ready in the spring. But inorganic chemical fertilizers like Vigoro and Sacco are quick to dissolve -and easily carried away by winter rain and melting snow. So they are better put on in the spring. After leaves or other garden rubble on your plot you can take your time about turning them under. time: up to February will do whenever you have an extra hour, For a good hard freeze or two after the ground is turned will break down any cloddiness that results from spading when the ground is wet. In the spring youll find a raised plot will dry off much

But beware of using too much lime as did one pair of beginners I know. On the theory that since a little lime had done so much for their soil, they thought a lot more would certainly bé better. One symptom of too mueh lime is leaf chlorosis—whitening of the green chlorophyll between leaf veins.

WE NEVER SHOULD REGARD salads as luxuries.

While some

are very expensive, others are comparatively cheap. An avocado or tomato salad in midwinter usually is costly and can be afforded only on special occasions, but a cabbage or lettuce salad or a tomato aspic made from canned tomatoes or tomato juice can be served economically

any day. Salads having a base of green vegetables are a rich source of vitamins and minerals provided these greens are bought fresh and crisp-and are stored only a short time in the refrigerator, It is wise not to add the dressing until thé salad is ready to serve because the dressing wilts the greens and finely shredded vegetables like cabbage, carrots and lettuce. Analyses show their vitamin content is quite rapidly reduced after the dressing is added. Therefore, it is practical and nutritional economy to make only as much salad as the family will eat and eat it as promptly after making it as possible. » » ” SURPRISE ASPIC SALAD (For Thursday luncheon) 2 envelopes (2 tbsps.) plain gelatin % c. cold water 2 c. tomato juice 2 tsps. grated onion 2 tbsps. cider vinegar 2 tbsps. chill sauce - % tsp. salt Dash cayenne pepper % of 3-03. package cream cheese % c. chopped pecans
