SOME POINTERS ABOUT THE SOIL ITSELF.

Of barn manure every six inches you
will have next spring the finest fer
tilizer that can be obtained.
Now for the seeded. II Is OF just
as much importance as the fertilizer.
Spade your ground at least eight
inches deep. Maybe 10 inches will be
better. See that every lump In every
spadeful Is beaten up fine. II your
soil Is sandy this won't be hard. But
IL II is heavy clay, you may have con-
siderable work. But do II, anyway.
A lot depends on 1t. The roots Of
seed plants are tender, and when they
hit clod they cannot penetrate II.
The roots must be able to reach out
and feed where they please or your
plant will be retarded.
Pulverize the soil!
Don't spade when the soil Ia too
wet or 1t will form hard Jumps all
summer. II fistful of earth crumbles
In your hand, 60 ahead and spade. III
It forms a putty-like lump, wait.
Coal ashes are no good as fertilizer.
but IL your soil Is hard clay, finely
sifted coal ashes will loosen II up.
Wood ashes are, Of course, better still.
Now you are ready for seeding and
planting, which, of course. are two
different things In tomorrow's Times

cussed.
