(k TtA ;a SAW r This IT. S. Department of Agriculture map divides the country into plant ing zones, where the chances of damage from frost is only one to ten. Most gardeners plant a little earlier and take a- chance on late cold weather. When you notice the sun turning north and the days getting long er, that is a sign of spring, and time to prepare for seeding opera tions and general outdoor activi ties. The weather is a bugaboo to many a backyard gardener who bases his knowledge of Jack Frost's activities on hearsay. A better way is to consult the local weather man, or a reliable weather map. Then, he can plant with assurance, or at least with the chances in his favor of a sure harvest. A reasonably safe time to plant is when there is only a 10 per cent chance of a killing frost. This date can be determined for your locality by " consulting the Department of Agriculture map above, and means that only in one year of ten will there occur a freeze likely to dam age your tender garden subjects.

This is about two weeks earlier, and the chances of losing a crop or two of tender vege tables is more than doubled. The latest recorded killing frost is about a month later than the aver age, although this is not true every where. In New York, for instance, it is only 20 days, while in St Louis it is 38 and in Cleveland and Chi cago it is 36. A month, however, is good enough for practical pur poses. It should be borne in mind that many vegetables will stand an ordinary light frost, so long as it is not a freeze. Gardeners can well spend freez ing indoor days in gathering weath er data, and looking over the new seed lists.. When you know the actual date to begin, it is a waste of time to delay a day, and a still greater waste to start earlier. Let the frosts records give you a reli able basis for figuring when to til ant RECENT ADDITIONS TO BOOKS AT PUBLIC LIBRARY Among the books recently placed on the shelves of the public library are North of Singapore, by Carveth Wells; Storm, by George Stewart; Last Frontier, by Howard Fast; Re markable Andrew, by Dalton Trum bo; Behind God's Back, by Xegley Farson; Navy Men, by James Con nolly; Hill of Doves, by Cloete; America Goes to War, a gift from the local D.
