ily grow a big assort¬ 
ment of vegetables to enjoy this 
rail and winter. Let’s start right now 
Fo plant a big fall garden. You can raise 
most of your food a good deal cheaper than you 
can buy it. If you don’t plant a fall garden this 
year you are going to do without a lot of the 
best tasting, most healthful vegetables that any¬ 
body has ever eaten. No farmer is a good farmer 
until he has a year ’round supply of home-grown 
vegetables for the family—food grown right out 
of the soil of his own farm. 
tables can be grown during nearly every month 
of the year, the garden is neglected; in fact, no 
feature of Southern Agriculture is more neg¬ 
lected than the production of vegetables for 
home use. The family without a garden keeps 
on eating salt meat and sow-belly. There isn’t 
a farm anywhere in the South but can grow a 
vegetable garden. If it won’t grow a gardem, 
it isn!t a farm. A half-acre vegetable garden 
should produce as much in money value as 2 or 
3 acres in general farm crops.
