far as gar den are concerned However this handicap can be overcome if the land is to be used for fall vegetable is handled so as to conserve moisture during the summer The usual procedure fol lowed by gardeners is to use the early spring part of the garden for fall vegetables because this area is convenient and In most instance large enough far fall plantings In any case' follow these general suggestions on fall gardening: 1 Keep down weeds and grass on soil to be used for fall veg etables They are moisture rob bers Give the fall garden plot a shallow cultivation using a disc ordinary cultivator garden plow or spring tooth harrow Maintain a dust mulch on the soil by fre quent shallow cultivations during tne summer 2 Make the fall garden a small garden but include a number of different kinds of vegetables ra ther than a few i 3 Plant vegetables in the fall garden eariy enough in the late summer to allow them adequate time to reach edible stage with a harvesting period before the average fall frost date in the county To secure a stand of vegetables in the fall garden it is necessary to plant in a little different man ner man tne spring ro assure germination of seed and a full stand of healthy plants in the fall garden the following suggestions will be helpful: 1 Soak hard coated seed over night before planting Use cau tion however and do not plant soaked seed in dry' soil 2 Open deep row and plant seed deep 'to bring In contact with the moisture in the soil under the mulch 3 Plant seed thick in the row This i necessary because of deep planting so that young seedlings' can push through the soil 4 When covering the seed press the soil down firmly to avoid the loss of moisture from loose soiXX 5 When young seealingshave pushed through the soil and es tablished themselves thin them out to a stand in the row and cultivate the same as if tlfey were growing in the spring garden By ANN STEVICK WASHINGTON July You can wear out your floor mop be fore be
