NEXT SEASONS GARDEN PLAN
Do Not Overlook Important Matter Of
Pruning and Anticipating Most
Careful Cultivation.

Having given thought to the plan
ming of your next seasons fruit, and
to your next seasons vegetable gar
den, and the variety you wish from
the one and the things you wish to
plant in the other. do not forget the
important matter OF pruning and d.
viding and setting and anticipating
careful cultivation. Get all the gar
den tools and implements which you
will need in working properly. There
will be spades. hoes. lawn mowers.
trowels. knives, sprayers. ETC.. to
think OF and select from the best
devices offered by progressive manu-
facturers. In fruit growing and gar
dening, like in everything else, good
tools facilitate good workmanship
and are great time savers.

PREPARING THE GARDEN SOIL
OF Far More Importance Than Most
Gardeners ReaIize-Soil Must Be
Broken Early.

The preparation of the garden soil
is OF far more importance than most
gardeners realize. The vegetables
must have a deep, mellow, friable soil
to hold moisture and promote the life
and development OF soil organisms 80
important to the fertile soil.
The soil should be broken early and
vegetation incorporated in time for it
to decay A large per cent Of vege'
table matter usually in its final state
OF decomposition called humus is nee.
essary. 1t may then be necessary
to rebreak, harrow and cross
harrow in order that deep mulch may
be had.
Barnyard manure is highly desir
able where the soil is rather thin or
close. The manure supplies both hu'
mus and plant food and for that Iea'
son is economical. It is waste prod.
uct at the barn, but valuable to the
gardener.

Deep SHOWS Affect Forest Business.

The unusually heavy snowfall
which has signalized the past winter
throughout the West is said to have
materially affected national forest
business. According to Denver fores-
try officials, timber sale receipts
have decreased In some regions, par
ticularly in the Northwest, because
logging and milling operations have
been hampered by deep SHOWS and
exceptionally cold weather Similar
conditions have given stockmen using
the forest ranges much concern, al
though no severe losses have yet
been reported. The foresight of stock
men in providing winter feed is be-
lieved to have prevented the heavy
losses of former years. Damages
caused by SHOWS. slides and floods to
forest service trails, telephone lines
and other improvements are not yet
known. but undoubtedly are heavier
than usual and repairs will make
much spring work for the rangers.
