the newspapers with dry
leaves or a little dirt to hold
them down. They’ll keep the
weeds from growing while
you’re away.
Water - Your garden will
need water. After you’ve
mulched it, water it
thoroughly just before you
leave. The mulch will keep
the soil moist, and you can
' dig the newspapers into the
garden when you spade it up
at the end of the season.
Spray - Get rid of insects
and diseases. Flea beetles,
cabbage worms and loopers
can do a lot of damage while
you’re gone.
Clean up - Throw old com
stalks and other plants that

Pick any old vegetables.
They could draw rats and
other pests while you’re
away.
Replant - You can start a
whole new garden or a
second planting of certain
vegetables while you’re
basking at the beach, even in
August. The growing season
will vary dejpending on
where you live in the United
States, but a good rule of
thumb is to allow 60 days
between planting and the
first killing frost. Some
drops, such as radishes, need
25-30 days. Summer squash
takes 70-75. But you can

plant kale, cabbage,
cauliflower, broccoli, and
even tomatoes to stretch the
gardening season. For a fast
second tomato crop, try
rooting the “suckers’''•that
appear in the crotch of the
tomato leaf branches.
Harvest - Arrange for
friends or neighbors to
harvest your crops while
you’re gone. Rotting
vegetables can draw un
welcome visitors, including
insects and diseases. Better
to give the fruits of your
labors away.
Protect plants - Have
cardboard 'boxes or other
covering materials ready so
neighbors can cover your
tomatoes and other crops on
cold nights, if you vacation
late in the year. This will
protect the plants from the
early frost that could
otherwise damage them.
Timing - But better yet,
when you plant your garden
next year, plan ahead to
cooridnate your vacation
with the type of crop you’re
planting. Then you won’t be
away when the crops arrive.
Wearne offers these
further tips to prepare your
garden for next year. When
the gardening season is
completely over, remove the
old plants. Put them into a
compost, unless you were
having trouble with insects
and diseases. Then it’s best
to throw the old plants in the
trash.
Have a soil test made.
Your county Extension
agent, listed in the telephone
directory under the name of
your county, can tell you
how. If the test shows the soil
is too acid for the plants you
want to grow, apply lime this
fall or early winter. If the

Business
(Continued from Page 106)
farm in a less urbanized
location and arrange a
trade. His neighborhood
developer would be only too
pleased to buy such a farm
and trade him even up.
Watching the number of
farmers on the Delmarva
peninsula who want to get
bigger and noting the
steadily increasing land
rents, it becomes obvious
that all of these farmers
cannot continue to expand on
that particular piece of real
estate. For some, expansion
in their present location will
be so expensive it may
render their farming
operation unprofitable.
It’s tough to leave home, to
load one’s belongings in a
truck and head west But
million of businessmen do it
every year. Perhaps the
time is here for some
hemmed-in fanners to think
about the open spaces that
lie to the south and west.
