PART ONE 
GARDEN PROJECT CALENDAR 
JANUARY 
1. Organization of the garden club. (See plans in 
the appendix.) The elass in agriculture probably will 
not find it practical to organize the garden club project 
until this month. Each member of the class should be- 
come a member of the garden club and plan to do all 
the work outlined for the project. The plan should 
receive the hearty cooperation of the pupils, teacher, 
parents, and board of education. The state club leader 
at the State College of Agriculture should be notified 
of the organization of the club so that he can send 
enrollment blanks and all such literature and publica- 
tions as will be helpful in the progress of the work. 
2. Selecting the garden. The first thing each pupil 
should do after the organization of the club is to select 
the ground upon which he is to grow his garden the 
coming season. A garden plot not less than ten by 
thirty feet should be chosen for this project. A good, 
well drained, sandy loam, fertile soil with a sunny ex- 
posure should be chosen for the garden. 
‘8. Fertilizing the garden. If the garden spot has 
not already been manured or otherwise fertilized, this 
matter may be attended to now. Well rotted farm 
manure at the rate of ten tons or more per acre should 
be applied upon. the plot, to be plowed under as soon 
as the ground is dried out in ‘the spring.
