of vegetables In a pint-sized garden in his backyard at 1231 King Ave. A + “Of course. he fudges a little bit,” Mrs. H. points out, “by putting a cabbage plant or two . over in the flower bed. And I had to set iris along the edge to keep him from planting right over Into the lawn. For I do like a bit of grass,” she adds. But in spite of this minor frustration he combines good soil management with close lanting to reap bumper crops. or example, he spades all his tree leaves under in the fall, ‘Fall spading gets rid of a lot of bugs, he's found. Then during the winter he adds horse manure and in the spring turns the ground again.

Humus Aids Yield

Because his constant addi tions of humus have raised the garden level a little, it dries out readily in spring yet retains moisture well during summer dry spells. Proof of the pudding this year was a 15foot beet row that produced six quarts (canned) plus a peck of beets. : He raises red kohlrabi rather than white ‘because he enjoys the color of the lavender globes and their gray-green leaves. The 'rabis are white inside, of course, :

bit with his endive and found he got much better results from late May seed-sowing than from his usual latp June plantings. The big heads "sary leaves get tied up to ach. “We untie them if it rains so they dry out and don’t rot, and then they make wonderful potato salad greens.”

Only Tragedy His only garden tragedy this year was In. the customary neighborhood tomato competition. - Next-door neighbor Gordon Ewing had ripe tomatoes in June the bought potted plants). , Herrman decided he had set his own tomatoes too close together for a quick crop, especially since he didn't stake them as he usually does. : The garden club whose min- - utes and dues he administers is the Christamore club. Whether it's because of the masculine membership might be a question, but “our club has the reputation for being the eatingest garden club.” The reason Is those fried chicken and fish dinners that constitute “refreshments” for club meetings. It even extends to vacations. When. the Frank Mopperts, 802 N. Goodlet 8t., went fishing in Canada last month they home part of the catch for garden club. The August meeting“featured the annual chicken dinner at the Jamies Medskers' home, 851 N. King Ave. It must be nice to belong to such a gardén club. But this one will take no unattached females. “So many women would —ike-to join, But we want to

any other method of preservation. Freezing is simpler than canning or any other method of ~~ ’ . preservation with the possible exception of drying. Maturity is of great importance when selecting fruit. As a rule, fully-ripe, fruit is the best for freezing. Hard or “green” fruit is not only lack“ing In flavor and color, but is also likely to turn bitter on freezing and subsequent thawing. : Proper packaging is another important factor. have the correct type of cona. container tin or sturdy

upright leakproof paper containers are best, Folding paper containers designed for vegetables do not always work well with fruit, Fruits must

be protected from bruising and leakage. Be sure your contdiner is leakproof, and that the top fits snugly.

Berries and other small fruits should be carefully washed in ice water. Ice

water prevents “bleeding” andfirms the fruit. Then stems should be picked off and all green, over-ripe or bruised fruit and foreign matter eliminated.
