USE BOTTOM LAND \ 1
FOR FALL GARDEN
Because it is hard to get a per
fect stand of tneder vegetable* in late
summer, the fall gardner needs to ase
good, rich bottom land, or prepare
irrigation systems for handSfttg his
garden this summer.
"There are three priaeipdf means
of overcoming the effects of beat and
drought in making ^tens for die fall
garden," says E. B. -Morrow, exten
sion horticttltarist at' State College.
"One is to locate the garden oa the
moist, bottom lands of the farm, t*
irrigate or "to so thoroughly prepare
and pulverize the soil that the tender
crops may withstand die effects of
the hot weather. The only trouble
about planting the fall garden on bot
tom land is that the vegetables may
be drowned out by frequent, hairy
ratea."
, \Mr. Morrow says water may be ob
tained with a reoincahte. yamwunt of
pressure, overhead irrigation msy he
used satisfactorily. Where oae has at
least one-half arm, it would pay him
to install such a system. Smaller
areas might be watered with the or
dinary hose.
The next alternative is to get the
008 into finely pulverised state. Land
to be planted in summer, must be
braken and prepared several weeks
in advance of its use. Keep down
the wteeds and grate and plant the
large, seeded crops deep enough to
ranch the moist layers of the soiL
Stands of small seeded crops may be
improved by covering the rows
with old sacks or boards.
However, says Mr. Morrow, neith
er thorough land preparation or irri
gation is of little value if the
crops art planted out of season or
planted- too late to mature before
eold weather. Tender crops must be
planted in time to mature before the
first killing frost he says.

Without asking, a specific reduction
the board tojd. farmers at planting ;
time that when the cotton acreage
reached 40,000,00(1 acres it had readi
ed the danger line so far as produc- .
tion was concerned.
?
... Logically, the board figured a 7,
(Htf.OOO-acre' redaction necessary, but
Williams said h'e had counted on no
more than a three per cent reduction.
Consequently, he said, he was "con
tented, but not satisfied."
"You can see how cotton farmers
responded to the acreage reduction
campaign," Williams said, "when you N,
consider that at planting time the
prospects were for a three to five per
cent increase in acreage. The 2.7 per
cent- reduction means that from five
to eight per Cent was lopped off the
>riginal intended acreage."
Had the acreage been reduced to
10,000,000 acres, it would have repre
sented a cut of 15 per cent, which -
trtairtitan the board ever toped for
this soon, Williams wtd- ilhe actual
reduction still is net enough for safe
ty of the cotton producer and the acre
?ge c ampaign will be continued.
Williams pinned his hopes for fu
:ure reduction on such states as Okla
loma ,where decreases were recorded
lespite the natural tendency and the
jpportunity to increase. The Oklaho
ma acreage, showing the second larg
?st redaction, was but 92 percent of
he~1929 acreage.
