"We usually do net think of the || cash value of a garden in a system -? of self-sustiaiuing farming but reclf* ords kept for u's lart yer.r by lb -v( farm families show this plot of land a' to be an important assel," says H. K. Niswonger, extension horticulturist a" at State College. "The average size . of the family from which the rccilc ords were secured consisted of the farmer and his wife and four ehil' drer.. The garden plot averaged onehalf acre in size and cost $4.77 in seeds and fertilizer to get in shape. The returns in .fresh vegetables were "c valued at $168.33 above the cost of n~ the seeds and fertilizer." or The amount of fresh vegetables used amounted to an average value ie of $150, Mr. Niswonger said. In addi1e tion, there was an average of 116 quarts canned during Che summer and valuing this at 15 cents a quart, the return was $17.40. Fresh vegetables to the value of $15.70 were sold from each garden and about $12.50 worth r~ were given away to neighbors or neeru dy persons. 'C Mr. licitcvC s it more; fhan ever important to have a good garden this season. The one-half acre size is all right for the small family but larger families need an acre given over for the production of vegetables. In addition, other land should be planted to watermelons, cantaloupes and sweet potatoes. At any rate, the soil for the garden should be prepared as quickly as possible and large amounts of ma' nure should be plowed under, the horticulturist advises. The County Home farm in Catawba County will have enough Korean | lespedeza seed to sell this spring to buy the fertiliser needed on the place.
