CROPPING COMPANION URGED Production Can Only Be Obtained by Careful Study and Strict Attention to Various Little Details. Maximum (Prepared by the United States Department- of Agriculture.) Southern gardens begin to look seedy about June 10, gardens In the Middle states section are in the height of their glory, and the New England gardens ure Just getting well started. It seems to be a foregone conclusion on the part of most persons throughout the Southern states that southern gardens can be grown only in the 6pring and In the fall, with a few chance hardy crops during the winter. ifY1 w,N'l','y',aslM ifce In the season sweet corn or lata cabbage can be planted between the rows of early Irish potatoes and make considerable of a start before the Irish potatoes are dug. In the middle section, early peas may be followed by late cabbage, late potatoes, late snap beans, beets, or turnips. Early Irish potatoes may be followed by turnips, late snap beans, or by late sweet corn. Plan Fall Gardens. Fall gardens should In no case be overlooked, especially from the Middle states southward. I'lantlngs of practically all the early spring vegetables may be made from July to September, according to locnllty, and be brought to maturity before early autumn frosts. By proper attention to the garden, fresh vegetables may be had through a period of about 10 months of the year In the extreme south and for about 7 months in the middle section. The season for the New England and northwestern sections Is necessarily much more limited, but even here the efllclency of a garden can be greatly Increased by a careful study and attention to the matter of companion cropping and successive plantings of certain vegetables.' f unless the work Is done by the women. In the New England states and parts of the Northwest where the growing season Is quite short only one crop of most vegetables can be grown. In the middle section, however, two crops can often be grown on the same land, and, more Important still, a continuous supply of peas, beans, sweet corn, and a number of other vegetables can be bad by making successive plantings. Grow One Crop After Another. The garden Is generally the richest spot of ground on the farm, and for that reason should be expected to produce more than any other similar area. To get maximum production, however. It Is necessary to keep the land busy 11 the time. This can be done two ways; first by companion cropping, and, second, by following one crop with another or successive planting. ' There are a number of crops that lend themselves to companion crop- ping. For example, where onion sets are planted In rows, say 18 Inches be- tween the rows, a row of radishes,' spinach, or lettuce can oe drilled be tween the rows of onions and be off the ground before the onions need the space. Spinach, radishes, early beets, or turnips can be planted between carrots, parsnips, and salsify. A crop of snap beans can frequently be grown between the rows of tomatoes. Radish seeds may often be planted alongside a row of pens, the radishes being pulled and out of the way before the peas tiffin to cliiuh the trellis or brush provided for their support or to spread over the ground.
