"If the entire output of agricultural products had been used for manufacture of motor fuel, the yield would not have been satisfied the demand." Dr. Halle pointed out that different crops in parts of the country could be used for alcohol production. DIFFERENT SECTIONS "In the south, it will probably be the sweet potato, irt the north the potato and sugar beet, in the middle portion corn, fruits and the Jerusalem artichoke." "By intensive use of new fertilizers.

Witi flowers a good rule s to have half a much space between as the plant: are high. This will be about a foot between ordinary Marigolds. Petunias and asters, two or three feet between Cosmos, and Dahlias but only an inch or so separating tiny Alys-sum, Lobelia and other edging plants Well spaced flowers will be l sturdy, thus resisting heavy wind and rain, and the plants will be i symmetrical. Even the smallest v tables such as lettuce and radish, must be thinned too. An inch or sc will be sufficient and that is also all the room that will be needed for car. rots and beets, because when these things have developed roots an inch thick and two or three long, every plant .should be removed and used, and this proceeding followed until the whole.row is used up. HOT WEATHER VEGETABLES nder beans, tomato plants, the famous rubbing liniment CUNARD WHITE STAR ANCHOR-DO NALdV ON should not be planted outside both weather and soil are really warm. In order to get a long and steady supply of green beans make at least three plantings at intervals of ten days and use several varieties. To do the same thing with tomatoes one may use a few well started plants for the first crop and hurry these along with fertilizer and possibly mulch paper. All garden tomatoes should be staked, using either wooden or steel stakes about six feet high. Trim off all side shoots as they develop, training the main stem up along the, stake and tieing loosely lout every foot. All these warm eather vegetables prefer rich open il and any members of the melon mily, that is squash, cucumber, ci-in, etc., take special delight in hot ndy soil though it must be made rich with well rotted manure or good garden fertilizer. Along with the vegetables mentioned one may set egg plants, well started peppers, and the first planting of celery. The latter must have very rich soil and during dry weather. CAN STILL HAVE GARDEN le \t iS important to get a por-if seed in early in order to i out the season as long as le, in practically every section of Canada it is possible to continue ing isuch things as beans, spin-radish, lettuce, carrots, beets, co*n, right up to July, and If well started plants can bo obtained, this late work may include, tomatoes,-cabbage and cauliflowers, too. In flowers it would be well to secure well started plants from the nearest green house, Of course where the whole garden is put in late, say after the middle of June, it would be well to hurry along a portion of it at least with quick acting commercial fertilizer and if possible, water.
