ByMillieSeiber According to Lewis Car- roll's Walrus the time has come to talk of many things — like cabbages and kings. More specifically of cab- bages. Now that our gar- dens and landscaping have survived an unusual sum- mer where everything was drastically accelerated, its time to start planning for next year. You might think this a lit- tle early to be making plans, but believe me if you don't start now you'll be left be- hind. Besides, right now it is fresh in your mind which plantings were more successful, whether you should have watered some plants more than you did, whether you should have cut back the vegetation on some in order to get better results, etc. One of the first things, of course, is to clean up your veggie garden and integrate as much fertilizer as possi- ble to get it ready. My hus- band really gets into it — he visits a local dairy and buys the dried contents of their barnyard by the trailer load to mix in to the veggie gar- den soil. This can take a lot of time but the results are worth it. Next you need to shape your fruit trees and shrubs the way you want them to grow. You should take a good long look to evaluate their directions and inten- tions. After the cosmetic care your plants will need comes the thought of whether the newer ones might need spe- cial winter protection. I, in particular, need to do this because I have a problem — I've never visited a nurs- ery and come out empty- handed. I'll grant you it can be hard to plan because Mother Nature usually has her own plans, but we can at least try to win in this contest we have with her every year. When the time comes to plant your garden I would recommend sitting down and taking note of which veggies did well this last summer. One thing I try to do is get fresh seeds which would probably be more vi- able. As to things like to- mato plants if you had good luck with plants from one source I would continue with them for the com- ing year. This last summer we bought some tomato plants named "Supersonic" mainly because we were in- trigued by the name. They lived up to their name in spades. I have never seen tomatoes produce the way they did. Keeping records does sound like a major pain in the neck but even an ele- mentary list of what was planted when and how well it grew will be a help. Once you have done all you can to prepare for the new season you can look around and say "OK Mother Nature, now you do your part."

DONATIONS Collection site set up to help fire victims Instead of an effort to repeal the Tehama county charter, as origi- nally planned and which would require a two- thirds vote to accomplish, four amendments to the charter now are proposed which need only a major- ity vote to adopt. By a vote of three to one the board of supervi- sors late yesterday after- noon rescinded their pre- vious action in deciding to submit to the people of the county a referendum on the proposed charger repeal. — Sept. 18, 1924 90 YEARS AGO...
