I was squarely in the drought section, and I think as well as my neighbors do, that I have the best garden in this part of the country in spite of the dry weather. My garden was not watered from the time the plants were set till it rained a few days ago, but constant cultiva- tion kepi it alive. We have now planted peas, beans, lettuce, radishes and turnip seed for late garden. We have had several messes of roasting ears, crowder peas, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and cucumbers by ihe bushel, besides the early garden, such as peas, radishes, lettuce and onions f'om the seeds you sent. We would like some good remedy to kill worms on cabbage that you could recommend. J. E. Redenbaugh, Burrton, Kansas. A GOOD GARDEN IN SPITE OF DRY WEATHER. From C. W. Chiles, Climbing Hill, Iowa. I have a half an acve in ga-den wSirh I put in and tended as follows: I think it a good plan to have the plowed in fail and in the spring. Just before planting, cultivate or disc good and harrow ,' down smooth, but as I did not get my garden plowed last fall I plowed it in the spring, harrowed it down smooth. I purchased one bush- el of onion sets, which, when set out, made twen- ty rows across the garden 18 inches apart. Next to onions I planted six rows early sweet corn. When I get one row of any kind of seed planted, I stick a slick at each end of the rows, and on these sticks I write the name of the seed planted, so I can tell just wnere the row is and what was planted in it. I planted all kinds of garden on across in the other rows. We tended it mostly with a common garden hoe, and I think there is nothing that beats it for all around garden work. As the dry weather struck us here, our garden is not at all what it would have been, had we had a good year, but it is fine any way. C. W. Chiles, Climbing Hill, lor
