A garden planned on’ paper helps get the seed in the right place. " Those bean poles? Remember how | hard they were to \get in a hurry last. year? s 4 What DID the boys do with that | trowel? - kN ~ growing early plants of eabbage, caul- iflower, tomato, pepper, ant, let- | tuce and celary, the sardener ma; have large plants to set in the garden as soon as the weather permits thus gain three or four ducing’ these crops. The e used to start the very early plants while the weather is still cold in Feb- ruary and March, ‘and the coldframe| for starting later plants - for later transplanting into. the garden. The coldframe is also used'fo harden off the plants grown in_the hotbed. Plants zrowp in. the hotbed are tender and canriot be ' taken direct from there. to the garden without being hardened off by being kept in 3 cool temperature for ten-days or two weks. I Making Hotbeds and Coldframes Hotbeds and coldframes difter only in that hotbeds may have pits, and fermenting horse manure is used as a = food . urce of heat In tbe hotbed, but not in’ the# coldframe. The frame may be: made of boards, brick or concrete. If built of brick or concrete the hotbed walls and ends extend from the bottom of the two- foot pit o the glass sash. The front wall is from 8 o 12 inches above the grotnd ang the back jwall 4 t0-6 inches higher. The low all should face the south so that the plants will get the full benefit of. the heat of the sun. The ordimary frame is made of boards § inches high in front and 12 irches at the back. The ends are made to slope trom' the top of the back to the top of the front. A frame of this kind is easily moved = from Place to ‘place. Since the size of glass sash is 3 by 6 feet the frames are made 6 feet in width' and some multiple . of 3 in length, depending upon the number of sash to be used. Sometimes cloth in- stead of sash is used for the top. Use of Manure. To make a hotbed, enough fresh horse manure, without too much straw, must be obtaineq to_fill the pit or to make a pile upon which the frame is to be set. The manure is left in a pile ntil it gets hot and steaming. It is then forked over, throwing the out- ide into the center of the new pile. After about a week it will be. hot in and must be forked over into a new pile. In a few days it will be hot again and should be placed in the pit in Jayers 6 inches deep, each one being tramped down firmly hefore the nrext is added. When the pit is full spread -6 inches of rich garden so over the manure and put on the sash to protect it from rain’ or snow. T, + a surface hotbed spread the Jealed manure on the ground in a 8- inch laver, about 3 or & feet wider and longer than the frame. Tramp this down until the pile is about 2 feet _thick nd bank up with manure against the sides and ends. Put a 6-inch layer of rich soil .over. the manure inside the. - By using hotbeds and coldframes for || Then set on' the frame :me‘ b“uF _even they need sunshi; lwo or three hours a day. .

United States- de- partment of agriculture. Many forces | different Drganizations are helping the garden campaign, but the Unit- &4 States department of agricuiture: angdfand the agricultural colleges are car- rying the biggest end of the work of organization ang_ instruction, = There are approximately 10,090,000 rural families in the United States, and ap- proximately 3,000,000 additional fami- lies in cities and towns up to 25,000 population, In the entire United States there are about 21,000,000 families, but a_ portion of these. in the large con- gesteq centers of the population can not have gardens. A home garden for every possible family work is well under way, already hav- ing been organized in January for this year’s campaign of food production. o Caution, .« - The department is emphasi: economic production of food throi Coldframe Shown Open for Ventilation and Hardening of Plants; the Hot- bed Is Constructed in Much- the Same Manner these: gardens and, therefore, points ocut the following important cautions: (@) No- home garden should be raised except.by labor of the family for the use of the family: in- other words, a home garden with hired la- bor is not advocated. The hireq la- bor :should ‘be released to engage in general farming to-add to the food stores of the nation, (b) . Garden seed, especially of cer- tain important standard crops, such as beans and peas, must be conserved and not wasted. (¢) Good soil, sunlight, and air are necessary for good gardens. It is a waste of seed ang labor to plant on land not suited or where shaded a large part of the day. (d) In small back-yard zardens, plant only those crops which produee large quantities on limited area, such as string beans, tomatoes, lima beans, heets, or onions. Corn, peas, potatoes, and other such crops require: more space than is needed for the other crops. . Organization, - The -Unitea States Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with state agricultural colleges, has ome of the mMOst extensive organizations ever pos- sessed by any country to put this cam- paign into effect. The horticulturists employed in the department of agri- culture have charge of the depart- ment's campaign: . They represent both the bureau of plant indust; states relations service. In almost ev- ery state is a home-garden specialist representing the extension service of the college and the department. (In some states two or three men are em- ployed.) In addition to ti special cooperation with the st colleges, has a very and women at work will ‘assist in the hom paign as a part of their paign for food production at —present 0 county agriculturai agents and their assistants, trained in agriculture, who are actively enzaged gar | ne is the aim.

After the plants are large enough for transplanting and the weather is mild enough so that the coldframe will protect them, they may be set in the coldframe where they can eas+ ily be “hardened off” by careful venti« lation in preparation for outdoor planting.
