Unwise
Intercropping
For The Amate
(Contributed by the Agricultural Dept.)
The practice of intercropping, which means the growing together of two or more crops in thè same row, is not an easy task and unless you are experienced in vegetable growing or are correctly shown what to do, it is better not to attempt It. Unskilful intercropping will make your garden resemble a patch of wild ground. 'Try to have always a good assortment of nourish- ing varieties and plant a succession of crops. You need not use an entire packet of seeds for... one sowing. Some of it should be kept for a fortnight later. It is wise also to study the likes and dislikes of the family in order to de- 'cide what is best to grow..
