cradle of ,the expenses of the garden
ing. All the profits from the gardens
go to the children who cultivate them.

batter fortified in gardening experts
than any other section OF the city.

practically every member of the as
ISOLATION is employed in some way in
the Department of Agriculture.

in Takoma Park and the children are
given an opportunity to cultivate
larger gardens than in other parts OF

summers the children have raised
large gardens, resulting in large bank
accounts at the end of the summer.

METHOD OF MAKING
GARDEN SOIL READY
Department of Agriculture Is
sues Bulletin Advising Wash
ington's Home TiIIerS..

The Department of Agriculture, in q
bulletin entitled Preparing the Garden
soir'. tells Washingtonians the proper
method Of testing and fertilizing the
ground preparatory to planting.
The bulletin says a simple test to de-
termine when garden soil is ready for
blowing or working is to take handful
Of earth from the surface and close the
fingers tightly on II. II the earth COM
pacted In this way Is dry enough for
cultivation. 1t will fall apart when the
hand is opened.
This test Is applicable only to COM
paratively heavy soils. but it is these
which receive the most injury IL they
are worked when wet On such soils
overzealous gardeners not only waste
their time, but frequently do actual
damage by attempting TO work them too
early.
Fertflizlng Follows SpadinE.
After working with a spade, 1t is
usually desirable to apply some form Of
fertilizer. Barnyard or stable manure,
which furnishes both plant food and hui
mus. Is undoubtedly the best and appli-
cations Of from 20 to 30 tons to the acre
are satisfactory. The manure should be
distributed evenly over the surface and
later worked in with a hoe and rake.
Frequently. II is advisable also to ap-
ply commercial fertilizer, especially
phosphate. An application Of 800 to 600
pounds Of acid phosphate to the acre is
usually sufficient In order to supply
potash. IL this Is needed. unleached wood
ashes may be distributed over the gar
den at the rate of 1000 pounds to the
acre. Wet. or leached ashes. have less
fertilizer value. Two thousand pounds
Of these should be used.
Humus Are Essential.
In order to start the plants early in
the spring, applications OF 100 pounds to
the acre Of nitrate Of soda are some
times used. 1t is important. however, to
remember that no form of commercial
fertilizer will yield good results unless
the soil Is well supplied with humus.
This frequently may be furnished in the
form of sod or other vegetation which
has overgrown a garden spot and may
be turned under with a pillow or spade.
1t Is also advisable to test the soil for
acidity. Naturally moist soils are like
ly to be sour, ard in such condition are
not likely to produce the most satlsfac-
tory crops.
The test for acidity or sourness IL a
very simple one. A handful of the soil.
slightly moistened. and a piece Of blue
litmus paper. which can be obtained
from any drug store, are all that Is
necessary. When placed on sour soil
the paper will turn red. To correct such
a condition lime should be used. The
ground should be covered with a thin
coat of air-slaked lime and the latter
worked in well. Lime is not a plant
food, but it will correct The acidity and
will improve the physical condition Of
the soil
