A Beautiful Girl Thinks So, IN WHY I WOULD NOT MARRY AT THE len? CHAPTER 11 (Copyright, 1919, N. FE. (Copyright, 1919, N, BE. A) My husband won't eat carrots and I lke them, He is fond of green onions and I Uke them boiled with a winter's meal. On most other things we are agreed, When it came time for us to do cide how much of this and how little of that we were going to grow in our garden, naturally he wanted to grow garden onions in about every other row, and he marked off a tiny spot for carrots. Finally we compromised, as many another married couple has learned to do. We planted a lot of onions, because they're good boiled, too, And we had carrots enough to last us all winter. What shall I sow? That's a ques tion pugling to many. garden makers. If you're making garden to sell vegetables, grow those things you can harvest earliest, before the large truck gardens produce their big crops, If you are making a home garden, grow the things your family likes best. But don't forget that some things take up altogether too much space for the average small backyard gar- den. Melons, cucumbers, squashe: pumpkins, are great ground coverers. Better buy them and raise such small space eaters as onions, lettuce, radishes, beets, beans, peas, carrots, parsnips, parsley, spinach. Potatoes, corn, tomatoes, cabbages take up much room, and should not be planted in a small garden, altho, as a rule, there is a sunny space for tomatoes, a few of them, in even the smallest backyard. Tomatoes are much better fresh and ripe off the home vine than when pulled half green and allowed to ripen on the way from the truck farm. * & A) That's true, too, of sweet corn. No one knows the real taste of sweet corn unless he takes it from his own garden stalks just before it is want ed in the kitchen. So, if you have quite a fairsized plot, and you like sweet corn and tomatoes, plant 'em. We did, but then, we have a garden 100 feet wide and even longer. In two 100-foot rows of potatoes wo grew enough tubers to feed the family last winter. And while we were talking about what to grow— “Gee, ma, don't fo some pop corn for sonny. And we did, for his special bene fit, altho little sister helped him away with the harvest. DEMOCRAT CHAIRMAN PLANNING CAMPAIGN COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 11.-~ Homer 8.
