emergency food garden commission

The great value Of hoeing in the
garden is that il makes a dust cover
around the plants which keeps the
moisture from evaporating.
Nearly every person has seen how
a lamp wick apparently sucks oil
up from the oil tank. The oil is
lifted by a scientific principle known
as capillary attraction" The mois-
ture in soil is lifted the same way
When soil is packed hard it acts as
wick, and the moisture evaporates
when it reaches the surface
The dust cover or dust mulch.
as it is called, stops this wick action
and holds the water in the soil The
discovering of this fact led to the
cultivation OF the great dry farm
ing" area in the central west.
During dry spells it is necessary to
water the garden artificially for
best results. Do not make the com
mon mistake of watering the gar
den every day on the theory that if
little water is good for plants "A
lot is better. Wait until the plants
show that they need water. once a
week is usually enough, even in the
dryest weather.
After a rain or such an artificial
soaking. test the soil by squeezing
a handful. When the soil falls apart
after squeezing the surface crust
formed by the water should be
broken up by hoeing. You can safe

ing the day when it is most cOnven-
lent.

 Also, there has never been a season when the demand for all manner of literature pertaining to Hot Springs has been as great as this year.
