MABEL SWAN (Assistant Agent) With the arrival of the 1957 seed catalogs, our thoughts turn to the family garden. A state vegetable specialist says "a written plan for a garden is Just as Important to a gardner as a blueprint is to a contractor. Unplanned gardens end up with too much of one vegetable, not enough of another, and accidental omissions of still others." After the garden has been lo cated, the size should be deter mined by the size of the individual family. One tenth of an acre per person, with ten or more differ ent kinds of vegetables to use fresh, canned, frozen, or stored Is recommended. For tomatoes, lettuce, other salad greens, raw cabbage, and green peppers, we can figure one foot row per pound o i vegetables needed and we each need at least one hundred pounds of these vegetables a year. Ad ditional acreage Is needed for corn, potatoes, (Irish and sweet>, and field peas. A list of recommended vegetable verities for 19S7 is available at the county agent's office. This leaflet has valuable information about varieties and descriptions. "In arranging the garden, put the tall growing plants like okra. staked tomatoes, sweet corn, and TiftlA hporic f/VCrofVto** onrl nrafov ably on the north side to mini mize shading. Plant short season crops like lettuce, radish, turnips, etc. together so that when they are gone, a second crop can be planted In the same space." When possible, 'two or more varieties of a particular vegetable should be planted to provide an early and constant supply of the vegetable. An example of this is to plant four rows of North Star and four rows of Golden Cross Bantam sweet corn April 15. The North Star will mature in about 67 days and the Golden Cross Bantam will mature about two weeks later. Thus, by planting two or more varieties of a vege table you can provide a longer constant supply. Strawberries are an important source of vitamin C and also con tain vitamin A. Two hundred plants should supply a family of five with enough berries to use fresh and to conserve. A good strawberry bed is an asset to any family and provides many an ap petite-tempting treat. The circular, "Raise a Square Meal Around Home," can be a great help in planning a 1957 food supply. Let's have the best gardens ever this year. Club To Help With Polio Show MBS.

DeHart Family Reminds Farmers Of Tax Deadline For Employes Have you paid as much as 1100 to a farm hand during 1958?

JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS In a small community where everyone knows pretty much every one else's business, a married couple had for some time been not too friendly. One day the wife was in the vegetable department of the super market and asked the clerk: "I want some celery for my husband. These bunches do not have any of that poison spray on them, do they?" "No ma'am," replied the clerk; "but I think you can get that down at the drug store."
