Show ADVICE TO BOYS IN THE GARDEN MOVEMENT Boys nnd girls, your gardens look flno. 'I have not seen them nil, but Judging from those I have seen, your efforts bavo brought big results, I have fiVo vlslloif other gardens, and it Is not too far fetched when I savour sav-our gnrdeps comnaro Very fnvQrrtbly with tho others. With a ncqk to neck start wo can not lot our opponents beat us by t. moro noso leng-th. Wo arc o beat thorn ond 'conro out at least BoVoral lengths abend. Why not have n Rnmo of checkers with our garden rivals? Do you know tho Bnmo? Wo bavo mndo the- flr3t move, but thoy havo mndo theirs ns well and that ono In n stragctlc position. Tho gnmo Is on; their man stands boldly In front of us. Think. Whero la our movo? Wo havo It. Wo anticipate thelrln-tentlon thelrln-tentlon by a movo straight nt their front Una of defense, blocking tho movo. Now watch them. Yes, thoy still havo tho samo intention, but they movo In from tho side. Tho intention back of this Important movo Is to clear and boo nil weeds whllo they uro small. They nro very easily killed at this time. My fnthor taught mo to boo whe-n I wns n small boy. TJirust your boo well Into tho soil, then pull back, allowing tbo soil to loosen nnd fall back over tho top of thovhoo. Do not chop or hack at tho woods. Plungo your boo Into tho soil, pull back nnd you hnvo them, roots nnd all. Whnt's more, theso weeds will not grow ngnln. If your pfnnts aro not well up abovo tho weeds, boo between tho rows leaving plenty of cpaco so that you cut no plants off. When you get this dono your can very easily pull tboso weeds out from between tho plants by being careful and working moro slowly. Whon freo from weeds It will nurprlso you how tho plants will grow. Get them out onco and you can easily keep thorn out.
