De planned and carried out in the
most effective way. The important
fact to remember is that in order to
farm successfully the fiat clay lands
with most crops it is necessary to pro-
vide some practical system of surface
drainage.
The land should be plowed in mar
row lands leaving dead burrows about
30 feet apart. The open burrows are
cleaned out and the water from them
flows into ditch on the side of the
field. BY this means, very little sur
face water will stand on the field after
heavy rains By this means deem
cross bitches are largely avoided
When the land is plowed in the fall
the dead burrows are filled and new
burrows opened about Is feet from
where the old burrows were. This sys-
TEN of surface draining has given
satisfaction in many localities.

CBy A. r. WHITSON1

The drainage of heavy clay lands
deserves much attention, for the yield
of crops obtained on such soils is very
largely proportional to the degree of
drainage This soil, being naturally
retentive of moisture, puddles very
easily if worked when wet, thus pre-
venting the entrance of air into the
ground. The excess of water also pre-
vents the soil from warming up early
in the spring, and thus retards the
planting of seed and it's termination
after being planted The bacteria and
other organisms which prepare the
nitrogen of the soil for the use of the
higher plants cannot do their work
we'll in a wet or puddled soil They
must have air and a comparatively
high temperature in order to do their
best work.
The surface water which accumu-
lates after heavy rains should not be
allowed to remain on the ground long.

good system of surface drains or
bitches to carry away this superhuous

gets the roots of the plants down
where they will be cool and moist in
hot, midsummer weather. Shallow

season
Another meritorious old plant is the
nasturtium. "Sturtions" our grand
mothers used to call them. They
bloom generously, and. like the sweet
pea, until cold weather comes If pre-
vented from ripening seed. They are
snowy in the garden, and excellent
for cutting. But don't make the soil

you do, you will get most rampant
growth of vines and very few flowers.
Balsams-"The Lady Slippers" of
former generation-are deserving of
place in all collections. They bloom
profusely, come in a wide range of
color. and are easily grown. Do not
plant the seeds until all danger Of
frost is over, as this plant is quite
tender. In order TO give the flowers a
chance to display their charms effec-
lively it may be necessary to clip off
a good many of the leaves along the
main stalks. The Balsams of our
grandmother's day were single flow
ers, but those of our day are as dou-
bic as rose. The flowers cluster so
thickly along the stalks that they
look like broken bits of wreathing.

cutting, because of its long stems and

Nowadays we have no China asters

Owing to the largely increased de-

bers and manufacturing concerns were

weather conditions also had a material
effect upon retail distribution in lines

poets in the ready-made clothing in
