tool called a “Speedy Cultivator.” You merely 
draw it along the ground. This causes its sharp 
claws to dig in and effectively break up the 
soil without any need for lifting and chopping 
a priceless labor-saving invention. For hilling, 
weeding and general work you will, of course, 
need a regular garden hoe. When your soil is 

stiff or hard from a dry spell you will save 
yourself much trouble and irritation by invest- 
ing in a 2-prong, forged weeding hoe which 
has two strong prongs on one end and a heavy 
blade on the other that will easily penetrate 
anything softer than concrete, dig out weeds by 
the roots and break up hard lumps and crust.

Vegetable Storage 
Storing vegetables is both cheaper. and easier 
than canning if they are to be eaten during theit 
natural storage period, although with some vege- 
tables the quality is better if they are canned. 
Special late plantings are made for winter stor- 
age so that the crops will go into storage in as 
neatly perfect condition as possible. Only 
sound, high quality vegetables are worth storing. 
Beets, carrots, cabbage, parsnips, potatoes, win- 
ter radishes, rutabagas, salsify, and turnips may 
be stored in a cool, well-drained, frost-proof 
cellar that has a mo/st atmosphere. The mois- 
ture keeps these crops from shriveling. 
Celery and endive are dug with a little soil on 
their roots and set in a cool, well ventilated 
shed or cellar. The soil is watered lightly from 
time to time, but the leaves and stalks kept dry. 
Onions require a cool, dry place for storage. 
Sometimes the attic is used for this. 
Sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and squashes keep 
best in a warm, dry place such as a shelf near 
the furnace. Plenty of ventilation is needed also. 
Small quantities of vegetables can be stored out- 
doors. A handy way is to sink a box or barrel 
about half its depth in the ground. Put the 
vegetables in and put on top of them a mattress 
cover made of burlap bags stuffed with straw. 
Cover over with a 6-inch layer of clean straw 
or leaves, then top with dirt to hold in place. 
TOOLS ARE SCARCE — GIVE THEM CARE AND REPAIR 
This year, the patriotic home gardener will do 
his best with the tools he already owns. Most 
homes have at least one of the tools shown in 
each group on the next page for digging, rak- 
ing, hoeing and cultivating. The thing to do now 
is to use them, and take care 
of them, properly. 
First, Repair Any Broken 
Tools: Provided the steel head 
is sound, any rusty, broken- 
handled old tool can be made 
just as good as new. Take it 
to the hardware or seed store 
and tell them you want a 
Right Repair Handle to fit it.

service for the duration. Hang tools up when 
not in use to prevent warping of handles. Scrape 
off dirt when laying away. Keep edges and 
points sharp with either an abrasive stone or 
file. Don’t abuse by hard pounding or prying.

in an all-out war.
