I Some of the crops which may
, be planted right now are snap
beans, beets, broccoli, brussel
' sprouts, cabbage, collards, car
j rots, kale, turnips, squash and
‘ j cucumbers. There may be others
' j that will mature before a heavy
' I frost comes.
I Prepare the soil well and ap
jply about one quart of 8-8-8
' {fertilizer to each 100 feet of
’!row. Sidedress leafy crops with
j nitrogen at the rate of one tea
- 11 cup full of nitrate of soda, A.N.L.
'lor Cal-Nitro, when the plants
I are about six inches tall. Culti
■ vate shallow and frequently
enough to control grass and
weeds. Use recommended in

“ just remember that this time of
the year the insect population
‘ has built up and can do lots of
