ANTICIPATING
THE GARDEN
Taking Time by the Forelock.

! The poet Dryden has a line somewhere
/ about "all tlysium is In plot of
ground, and If an amateur gardener has
| never felt the urge and truth of that
| line, then he has failed, poor unfortu-
nate. To discover and realize the quality
Of healthy virility and unquenchable
! hopofHlneSs which is the noVcr-cnding
delight Of the true gardener. Especially
now that spring has once more shown
signs Of approach, the ideal time pre-
scnts itself for beginning to wander
here and there I'm order to look for a
first chance of some advance spring
/ work.
To stroll among the nowerbsds and
poke the earth with a cane to see how
soon the soil will be ready for the wait
ing seeds and plants; to carry the gar
don benches to the Workroom and give
| them an amateurs coat of paint; to be-
gin mildly raking AN uneven walk; or to
! whip out the old saw and. after sharp
cninE it with professional ease, start
manufacturing some of those new posts
which will be needed for the sweet peas.
Then there are the many apple, pear,
plum and peach trees to be carefully
looked over to see that there are no
harmful insects engaged in their destruc-
tive work. and also to note if there may
possibly be an earlier yield Of luscious
fruit to be enjoyed and boosted of this
particular season.
SWEET PEAS TO THE FRONT
But the posts for the sweet peas are,
perhaps, the most important hit of spring
puttering for the rapid growth of the
popularity Of those flowers has burst all
hounds and many people contend it has
become the most satisfactory and sought
after blossom that grows.
one very important essential in the
growing of sweet peas is eariness in
growing them. and just as soon as the
frost Is out of the ground one of our
first bits of work to be enjoyed Is the
proper preparation of the soil for the
sweet-pea bed. This is accomplished by
digging down two feet and making the
earth rich and mellow by mixing it with
pulverized and rotted manure and
working into the upper six inches one
half pound of lime and bone dust to the
square yard.
The seeds should then be sowed as
early as possible, about three feet apart.
in rows five feet apart the plants to
stand not nearer than six inches apart
The seeds should be covered with about
two inches of rich soil. but too much
emphasis cannot be laid upon getting
the seeds in the ground lust as soon as
possible in order to have as long time
as possible after sowing to hold back
the top-growth and throw all possible
strength into the root action. For all
plants which are we'll and deeply rooted
will insure a prolonged blooming season
and luxuriant and large blossoms
Thus, If well planted and properly cared
for, our bed of sweet peas. with its
myriad of exquisite color, may prove in
part at least, what Dryden meant when
he wrote OF finding "all Elysium in a
plot Of ground"

able rain to fall before May !.
In its story about how dry they are
around Springfield, the Republican says:
There are hundreds of acres of land
In this county that were plowed last fall
which have not been touched with the
harrow yet. This means that there arc
tons and tons of water being lost by
evaporation. The only way to conserve
this moisture IL by forming surfa ce
mulch by narrowing and cultivatng. This
should be done Immediately. All of our
corn and potato land which has not been
plowed should likewise be treated with
the pillow and harrow so as to prevent
further corporations When we realize
that each ton OF dry matter produced from
the corn crop requires 800 tons of water,
there will be needed tremendous amount
of moisture to produce our large crops"
