ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES

(April 10 to 22)
Pansies should be in cold-frame
now.
Are all the tools in shape for use
this summer.
Celery and tomatoes may be trans
plated to the cold-frames now.
Top-grafting of apple and plum
trees may be done now.
The small white onion sets are best,
although the yellow and red kinds
may be used.
Don't plant early peas very deep.
Late peas may be put in three to six
inches but the ground is cold and
moist now, so there is more danger Of
decay.
Do not crowd the spring flowers in
vases. Half dozen flowers we'll plac-
ed will make much more attractive
vase than two dozen crowded.
1t is good plan to dig out two or
three inches of soil from the bottom
of the cold frame and fill with thor
oughly rotted manure or leaf mold,
covering this with three inches Of
soil before transplanting plants to
the frame. This light material makes
it easy to take up the plants when
it is time to set them in the field

DRILLING IS BEST WAY TO SOW
= OATS


Oats grow best when sown with a
drill in a fine and firm seed bed about
two Or three inches deep. Fall-plowed
land is to be preferred. Seeding
should be done early.
Oats follow a cultivated crop in a
rotation. Fall-plowing is best. If the
situation demands spring blowing, the
earlier it is done the better. Follow
ing spring-plowing, the soil must be
worked back, So as to unite the fur
row slice and the "pan.'' A good
seed bed can be made on clean land
where corn was grown last year by
two diskings and a narrowing with q
slant-tooth harrow.
Drilling gives a more even stand
stand than broadcast sowing and COW
ers the seed to more nearly uniform
depth. Less seed, also, is required in
drilling. The seed should be covered
usually about IL inches deep. The
rate of seeding should be two bushels
to the acre under average soil condi-
lions or 2h bushels on heavy soils.
Every two or three years oat seed
should be treated for smut to hold the
disease in check. This year is a good
time to begin. A formaldehyde solu-
ton will probably save your field sew
eral bushels an acre.
A termination test is always advis-
able, but especially so this year, for
tests are showing up poorly. Rigid
grading with a tanning mill will also
help to get high test. &C. P. Bull,
University Farm, st. Paul.

NEGLECT IS COSTLY IN NURSERY
STOCK

From 10 to rs per cent of nursery
stock bought is lost every spring
through poor handling, says W.. G.
Bierley Of the horticultural division
Of the Minnesota college of agricul-
ture. One should buy all nursery
plants subject to inspection, he said,
and reject the stock if it is in poor
condition.
Zone of the safest methods Of
handling nursery stock" he continues,
"is to remove it from the shipping
case and fheel in,' so that the plants
may replenish the moisture lost in
transit. If the bark appears shrivel-
ed it may be advantageous to even
bury the entire stock in light soil for
day or two. Immersing in water is
not advisable; it softens the bark too
much.
tOther means of safe handling. -
Mr.. Brierley continues, care packing
the soil firmly around the roots,
throwing the richer top-soil in the
bottom Of the hole and browning the
top with light, loose soil, SO as to
preserve all moisture for the plant.
