Hotbed Makes Possible Early Garden Vegetables Raleigh, N, C., Jan, 3.—The seed catalogues are out in all their glory which means that the time for planning the year-aroundj garden has come. i One of the first essentials in beginning the early garden is to have a hotbed “January is the month to pre pare the hotbed over most parts of North Carolina,’’ says Robert Schmidt, vegetable specialist at S'.ate College “The hotbed does best located in a sheltered place with a southern exposure where it is protected from cold wind,s and receives plenty of sunlight. Convenience to both house and garden is another matter to con aider and the soil in and around the frame must be well drained” For the average garden, a hot bed six feet long by six feet wide will be ample and miy be con structed without much cost. The standard glass sash for the hot bed is tnree feet by six feet and may be either purchased or built at home, states Mr, Schmidt. The best heating material is fresh horse or mule manure con taining about one third straw. This manure is piled under shel ter until it begins to heat and is then turned two or three times until the whole mass is heating uniformly. Then it may be placed in the pit. The pit should be about 18 inches deep for eastern North Carclica and about 24 inches deep for the western part of the State. Bill the pit to within four in ches of the too, states Mr. Schmidt. Pack the manure thor oughly and then build the frame of one inch boards so as to give the regulation slope. Put four or five inches of loamy soil over the manure and when the tem perature of the manure has dropped to about 85 degrees, the seeds may be planted. It is well to remember then that moisture is needed for germination and growth. Too much moisture will cause damping off of the seed lings.
