In the face of these facts, gar deners are advised to do two things: Plan to devote increased space to vegetable gardening; and perfect plans for the 1941 garden so as to get the greatest possible yield from the available space. In stepping up yield from vege table gardens of limited size, two major devices should be relied on, first, companion cropping — the planting of fast-growing crops like radishes, spinach, and lettuce be tween rows of slower-growing vegetables like tomatoes, and cab bage. The fast growers will be pulled and used before the other crops need the space. Second, succession cropping— the repeated planting of major crops such as beans, sweet com, radishes, carrots, beets, and let tuce. Moderate-size, new plant ings made at regular intervals during the early part of the season will provide a stead3* supply of fresh vegetables until the season’s end. Slow Murder Many states no longer follow the old common law that a person cannot be indicted and tried for a murder if the victim lives for a year and a day after the assault. For instance, in New York a short time ago, a man was convicted of murder although the deceased did not die from the bullet wound for more than four years.
