In Everywoman‘s World, W. D.

The planning I uo in my bead may never get much furthâ€" er, but when I get it all worked on paper, and estimate, as closely as I can, my requirements in fertibzers, seeds and other things that I know I shall need, 1 get a much more tangâ€" ible idea ot the gardenâ€"toâ€"be, and my plan is in itself an encouragement to go abead with a will and see the whole thing through to a successial conclusion. Itry to avoid having the same crop follow in the same place in the garden as it was in the previous vear. I always endeavor to rotate the crops. over the garden year afier year, since it is believed that one kind of crop takes certain elements trom the soil which another one does ros. By this rotation ol‘ erops we avoid such diseases as Tomatoâ€"rot, and others which are1 broaght on by a continual suecessivon of the same kind of plant in the same position." !
