MAKING SUCCESS
IN HOME GARDEN
Much Depends Upon Interest of

Throughout Season.
WAGE FIGHT AGAINST PESTS
Man Must Make Continuous Fight
From Start, Never Shirking Duty
and Keeping Everlastingly on
Job——Easy to Kill Weeds.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
The ultimate success of a4 home gar-
den depends largely upon the inter-
est of the gardener being maintained
throughout the seascn. Many persons
have gotten the idea that when the
garden is planted and cultivated two
or three ties their work has ended,
and us a result the garden soon goes
to weeds or is destroyed by Insects and
diseases, The successful gardener, de-
clare the specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, is
the one who wages a continuous fight
against the enemies of the garden
from the very start, never shirking his
duty and being everlustingly on the
Job,
A crop of weeds can be destroyed fn
a few moments by means of a steel
rake or a hoe, if it is used when the
weeds are just coming through the
ground. If allowed to remmin, the
weeds become firmly rooted and a
thorough renovation of the garden is
necessary to rid it of them,

to the care of the garden.

the period between the early spring
vegetables and the fall vegetables is
sufficient, a crop of cowpeas should

add fertility to the soll.

To hold the cost of potato production
