The two requisites for the germlna.
tion of seeds are a congcnial irmpcrn-
ture aud a continuous supply OF mois
mre. The gardener has little 10 say
about temperature, but the moisture
question can be controlled by the use
Of the roller or the feet providing one
does not use a seed drill having a small
roller attached. Peter Henderson i'm his
book, Gardening For Profit" devotes
whole chapter to the use OF the feet
in planting For example. plant two
rows Of radishes where the soil is dry
aud press down firmly with the feet
over one row, smoothing the other row
with rake. and note the difference
The radishes which have been tramppd
down are able to get moisture by capil-
larry attraction, while the others suffer
for want Of it.

Asparagus, one ounce for 20 feet:

NEW LIFE FOR THE OLD SOIL
Green Manures Work Wonders.
W. n. STEVENSON.

Any crops grown and plOwed under

pacity Of the soil are called green ma.
nure crops. Sometimes such crops oc.
cupy the land for only a part Of the
season. They are then known az
cover" crops or catch crops
Green manuring Is an important
practice, chiefly because it adds organic
matter 10 the soil, which is gradually
converted into hLmus, an absolutely
essential constituent Of the soil OF
course humus may be secured by ap-
plying barnyard manure, but as a rule
there is not enough Of this material o.
meet the needs of the land However,
green manuriug is not enough in itself
to keep a soil from wearing out, SO
other practices must be followed Crops
must be grown in rotation, the mois-
ture content Of the soil regulated. prop
er tillage praciCed, the soil kept sweet.
the supply of mineral plant food main
tained, especially the supply Of phos-
phorus and potassium, and the nitro.
| gen content of the soil kept up. These
factors all play an important part in
] keeping a soil productive, but they
are not more important than green
manurlng
Poor Soils Especially Benefited.
In general green manures are bene.
fetal when used on poor soils because
of their action on the physical, chemi.
cal and meteorological conditions Of
the soil. From the physical side green
manures influence the moisture, TEN.
perature and acration Of soils. For eX.
ample, on light sandy soils they pre-
vent rapid drying out by reducing the
losses of moisture due TO evaporation
and percolation, and further make the
soil more compact. While they have
just the opposite effect on heavy clay
soils, here the organic matter opens up
the soil and admits air
The practice Of leaving the soil bare
during July and August following the
harvest of a small grain crop Is very
bad. as II causes the loss of large
amounts of nitrogen by percolation
These losses may be prevented i'm a
large measure by growing green ma
nure crops on the land, especially is
this true Of leguminous crops. which
stimulate greater bacterial action. and
as a result larger amounts OF available
plant food are produced Rye wheat.
buckwhcat and rape are the nonlegu-
minous crops which are commonly
used for green manuring, while red
clover, mammoth clover sweet clover.
crimson clover, Canada field peas, COW
peas, soy beans and vetches are the
best known legumes for this purpose.
The secret OF keeping our gardens
and fields fertile is to plow deep, and
II necessary subsoil. cultivate thor
Oughly and plant leguminous crops.
