the specialist.
Once crops are up, water
them sufficiently and regu-
larly so that the water
penetrates the soil to a
depth of at least six inches.
Light sandy soils may
require more frequent wa-
tering. Cotner suggests wa-
tering in the morning or at
least not later than mid-
afternoon so that plants will
dry before night. This helps
prevent foliage diseases.

Dear Editor:
Thank you for the excel-
lent publicity you gave to
our Lemontree Country
Estates Development. I
greatly appreciate the news
article and the excellent
advertisement in your Real
Estate Section. Consider it a
well done job because the
principal response we had
on that cold-dreary opening
day came as a result of
your newspaper.
Enclosed is $1.00 which
should cover the cost of
several copies of this
particular addition. We
would appreciate having
them for our scrapbook on
the project.

However, excesses can pre-

continued.
“Excess water-soluble
vitamins, in contrast, are
excreted in urine. These
vitamins—including the B-
vitamins and vitamin C—
aren’t stored to any large
extent in the body.
“Vitamins appear in a
wide variety of foods. As a
result, the average healthy
person can get all he needs
from foods in a balanced
diet.
“Supplemental vitamins
should be taken only under
a physician’s directions,
when there’s increased body
needs,” she added.

around plants helps control helps reduce the grocery
weeds and also reduces soil bill,” contends Cotner.
Almost everywhere you
look, homeowners are tilling
in their back yards or
wherever they can find
space to put in a spring
garden.
“Home gardening is def-
initely booming, and in
Texas gardeners can pro-
duce tasty, nutritious vege-
tables the year round,” says
Sam Cotner, vegetable spe-
cialist for the Texas Agri-
cultural Extension Service.
To have a successful
home garden, a number of
important factors enter into
the picture, notes the Texas
A&M University System
specialist.
First of all, a site that has
well-drained, fertile soil is
best. However, homeowners
often have little choice on
the garden location. The
location should also receive
plenty of sunlight, but
certain crops can be grown
in partially shaded areas.
Cotner lists the selection
of proper varieties of crops
as a key item in successful
gardens. Different varieties
are suited to different areas
of the state, so county
Extension offices should be
contacted concerning which
crops are best adapted to
specific locations.
“Proper seedbed prepa-
ration is another important
element for a good garden,”
points out Cotner. “If the
garden site has heavy, tight
clay soil, add one to two
inches of sand and two to
three inches of organic
