War Garden Work for November 
There remains only cleaning- 
up the garden and plowing or 
spading. Garden authorities dif- 
fer in giving advice about fall 
cultivation so the amateur may 
choose his own plan. It probably 
depends largely on the nature of 
the soil and the exposure. With 
soils light in texture and well 
drained little is to be gained by 
fall plowing. These gardens may 
be worked early in the spring. 
In the case of heavy soils much 
is to be gained by fall plowing, or 
spading. Plow such soils in the 
fall but do not level by raking or 
harrowing, as the rough surface 
tends to hold rain and snow so 
that the subsoil will be well satur- 
ated. The surface may be leveled 
as needed in the spring and long 
delays in getting in the seeds of 
early vegetables. 
The question of fertilizers is

still a vexing one for the war gar- 
dener with no satisfactory solu- 
ton in sight. Where stable ma- 
nure can be had it should be se-

Sauerkraut Approved as Patri- 
otic. 
Sauerkraut is a valuable food 
and adds to the variety of ways 
in which cabbage may be pre- 
pared. 
The Food Administration re- 
gards the free use of sauerkraut 
as a means for saving greater 
amounts of staple foods needed 
abroad. Sauerkraut is a patri- 
otic dish in spite of its name and 
its use should not be curtailed.

Destroy by Fire 
Whenever possible burn all ref- 
use from the garden. In this way 
we destroy insects and disease. 
Composting plants and weeds 
taken from the garden is a pretty 
theory but often a very expensive 
one. 
Plant a few daffodils, tulips and 
hyacinths in pots for spring 
blooms. 
A cold frame is a good place in 
which to store root crops, cab- 
bage, and celery temporarily. 
Take up a few plants of parsley 
for winter use. It will grow quite 
readily in the kitchen window. 
Let the canna and dahlia bulbs 
lie on the ground a few hours be- 
fore putting them in the cellar.
