Garden needs small herb patch to finish
A complete vegetable garden should include a patch of herbs. Many kitchen herbs are annuals and can be easily grown from seed.
Expected Changes Noted in Markets 1950 Outlook
Successful Farming outlines 1950 price shifts for crops and livestock. Old wheat may rise as supply tightens while new wheat stalls after harvest. Both old and new corn stay near loan levels, influencing marketing strategies. Soybeans face scarcity and high seed demand for old crop, with new crop slipping below supports. Hogs see lower summer prices for last fall's litters and spring pig prices near supports. Beef herds rebuild, limiting slaughter and supporting prices. Poultry trends lower. eggs look solid later. Milk remains steady, tracking seasonal norms.

Garden success rests on soil quality and judicious feeding. Organic and inorganic fertilizers, lime, compost, and peat moss shape long term soil health. Manure, liquid manure, bonemeal, and wood ashes are used carefully to nourish plants without harm.
Pointers on Storing Home Cured Meats

Hang bags in a dry, dark, well ventilated storage away from rats. Basements are discouraged. attic or wardrobe preferred. Mold not always harmful. vinegar damp cloth removes mold.

Sweet Potato Growing Tips From Dean Halliday
Sweet potatoes thrive in warm areas and can be grown in temperate gardens after frost danger. Transplant slips with mud water through puddling, plant 12 to 15 inches apart on six inch high ridges three feet apart, and firm soil. Lift vines every two weeks, widen ridges as vines grow, and dig tubers when large enough or after early fall frost.
