doors 8 weeks before plants are 
wanted. Set plants 15” x 24” and feed

PLANNING ON PAPER, SAVES TIME AND LABOR 
That old remark, ‘“To save headaches later, 
plan it on paper!” isn’t a very good 
rhyme, but it’s extra good sense. Once 
you've tried it, you'll never again plant 
without a carefully drawn plan! 
The best procedure is to start with a very 
rough sketch. Try all your ideas and com- 
binations during this rough sketch stage. 
Then, when you've got what you want, 
convert rough sketch into a final 
plan, drawn to scale. A scale of one-quar- 
your 
ter of an inch representing one foot works 

very well, because by using 1/16 of an 
inch as three inches, almost any standard 
spacing of the rows can be shown in ex- 
act scale. Save this plan from year to year 
so you can remember where each crop 
was. This will enable you to rotate root 
crops, leaf crops and fruit crops, 
With the plan complete, 
ready to order your fertilizer, seeds, tools 
you are now 
and insecticides, It is to your advantage to 
do this as early as you can. Late in the 
season many desirable varieties may be 
sold out.
