Not only beauty, but efficiency is gained by such a layout. One quick trip with a wheel hoe down the straight aisle between two rows will destroy hundreds of weed sprouts, in a fraction of the time required to cultivate a disorderly garden. Rows should be spaced with vary ing distances between them, de pending on two factors: The needs of the crop, and the convenience of cultivation. In rich soil vegetables may be spaced more closely than in poor; but when spaced too close together, it is difficult to cultivate between the rows. Crops growing twelve inches tall or less may be spaced 10 inches to a foot apart if cultivated with hand tools. For a wheel hoe, eighteen inches is likely to be found a mini mum distance to avoid disturbing the roots of the vegetables. Taller vegetables, and those that make vines, large bushes, or have a sprawling habit, must be given more distance between rows. In small gardens, 4 feet will usually be the maximum distance, given : only for such crops as bush squash I and cucumbers. I re to be, a line should be stretched to mark the first row. Some gardeners use a straight, narrow board as a ruler to mark the row. A heavy cord wound on an iron reel is handy, but any strong cord stretched between two stakes will do. Using the corner of a hoe, draw in the soft soil a shallow l-. nch with this line as a guide. This is known as a drill. Some prefer to use the end of the hoe handle rath- visitors at the home of Verne's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sterling Amick.

For small seeds such as radishes, onions, carrots, lettuce, and endive, a drill half an inch deep is enough. A little deeper for beets and Swiss chard, and an inch for peas, beans and sweet corn will be sufficient. Shallow sowing is preferred nowa days in the cool, moist spring, but make drills a little deeper when hot weather comes. . ' -..T tsr 1 I' mi TIIC DIG DECISION ...

He's a distinguished look ing gentleman with iron gray hair, somewhat on the stocky side . . . Rather than a co median you would picture him as a typical senator or ether high political official ... He has Whitey Ford a trace of a drawl that is almost imperceptible first you catch it, then you don't. Whitey hails from Arkansas rather than the blue-grass state he talks about on the air . . . Actually, he was born in Missouri but, according to him, "My folks saw I had no talent as a pianist and I probably wouldn't grow up to be president, so they moved over to Arkansas." One cf his best friends is Eddy Arnold, singing cowboy also from Arkansas . . . The two make numerous ippear ances together around the country . . . His is the only Arkansas family with a cret cf arms, he'll tell j'ou with a twinkle, and sure enough, on Ills calling card is the Ford symbol two crossed cobs of corn with a pair of high slices above and a little wooden wagon below ...
