Time of Planting

The time of planting the garden
is governed by the season. If it is
an early season and the soil is warm
and dry one may plant early, but if
it is late, cold, wet spring it is
better to wait than to try to plant
before the soil becomes warm. Most
seeds, if planted too early in cold,
wet soil, either rot or become so
weakened that they never do well.
Seeds of peas, radishes. onions,
beets, lettuce, carrots, and spinach
may be planted very early, but corn,
melons, squash, beans, and other
tender plants must wait until all
danger of late spring frost is past be-
fore planting

PLANTING THE GARDEN

The proper planting of the seeds
and plants is one of the most i'm
portant factors in the making of a
successful garden The reason so
many people fail to have a good gar
den is because there are no hard and
fast rules that will work every year.
The seed, soil, weather, and person
making the garden all tend to influ-
ence the rules one should follow in
garden making. A specific rule that
will work one year may not work an
other and so gardener must be a
good student of nature to know al
ways what is best to do and when to
do it.

THE GARDEN PLAN

Just as the carpenter carefully
plans every detail of the house be-
fore he starts to build. so should you
draw definite plan of your garden
on paper before you start to plant.
The plan should be drawn to scale
If the garden is small a scale OF one
inch to the foot will be good, but II
thee garden is to be large, draw II
one inch to 10 feet or even 20 feet.
Your plan should be arranged IN
such way as to avoid the following
troubles.
1. So that tall vegetables will not
shade dwarf vegetables.
2. So that plants will not cro"d
one another and make cultivation or
hoeing impossible.
3. So that the slope makes IT I'M
possible to irrigate easily.
The plan should be arranged so

L. S. STANDARDS FOR WHEAT

Washington, d. C.-The official
grain standards of the United States
for wheat were fixed, established,
promulgated, and published today.
March 81, by the Secretary of Agri-
culture, under the authority given in
the Grain Standards Act. The
standards are to become effective as
follows: Standards for hard red
winter wheat, soft red winter wheat,
common white wheat, and white club
wheat, are to become effective on
July /, 1917. The standards for all
other wheats, including spring
wheats, are TO become effective on
the first day of August. 1917.
The use of these standards after
they become effective is required for
wheat shipped from any point in the
United States in interstate or foreign
commerce and sold, offered for sale
or consigned for sale by grade. The
act, however, permits the interstate
or foreign shipment of grain sold by
sample or by type, or under any
description which is not false or mis-

Preparation of the
Seed Bed

One of the most important factors
IN making a garden is to thoroughly
prepare the seed bed before plant
ing. This preparation should begin
the fall before by the removal and
burning of all trash left on the
ground to destroy the disease spores
on the old plants and prevent such
pests as cutworms from finding a
hiding place.
If the garden was given a good
heavy coat of we'll rotted manure in
the fall and plowed and left rough
so much the better. but if it was not
done, put the manure on now and if
you can disk it up thoroughly before
blowing it will be in excellent con-
dition. The disking before blowing
this spring is to pulverize the lower
part of the seed bed so that the
young feeder roots will not have to
go around hard clods to get enough
available plant food.
When blowing your garden patch.
be sure to pillow it we'll. Do not cut
and cover" but turn over every par
ticle of the soil Pillow it from 10 to
II inches in depth. The same is
true if you are spading it. Be sure
to remember that this is an opera
ton in garden work that can not be
corrected after planting.
Do not pillow or spade up the soil
when it is very wet, because forking
the soil then does it more harm than
good. Always be sure to harrow or
rake the soil soon after blowing. If
the clods bake and dry hard your
little plants will be unable to get
food from them. 1t is almost i'm
possible to work the garden soil too
much before planting so be sure to
have the soil firm, finely pulverized
and mellow before planting.
Different kinds Of manure have
different values in the garden and
materially affect the crop in differ
ent ways. Well rotted or composted
manure is best for late crops, while
horse manure is best for early crops.
Sheep manure is excellent for all
kinds of crops, providing it is pull
verified and not in hard Jumps.
Poultry droppinGs are fine for prac-
tically all kinds of crops. but should
not be put on in heavy coats.
The soil for lettuce, cabbage,
cauliflower, and corn should be well
fortified, while the soil for canta-
loupes, watermelons, tomatoes, and
cucumbers should be only moder-
ately fortified, or they will produce
too much vine and not enough fruit
Ii you live in western Washington
and your soil is sour it will pay you
TO give it an application of lime to
sweeten it and make it ready for the
garden. Nitrate of soda is a strong
com mercial fertilizer used sometimes
to produce leaf and wood growth. If
used at all it should be used in small
quantities.

that the following advantages can be
secured:
l. So that you can transplant late
vegetables, like tomatoes, cabbage or
celery on land that has previously
produced an early crop of radishes,
lettuce or peas.
:. Plant peas in double rows so
that one row will support another.
.. If you grow cantaloupes, Gu
cumbers or squash provide room for
the vines This land, however, can
be used early in spring for early
crops.

1t pays to soak all kinds of garden
seeds before planting. Soak in
warm water from IL to "a hours be-
fore planting and the plantlets will
come up at once and the stand will
usually be better than from un-
soaked seed.
Many gardeners have difficulty in
getting onion seed to come up at
in a fine wire strainer and pour boil
ing water over it until the small
white sprouts pop from their black
covers. Sow the seed in moist warm
soil soon after testing. If it becomes
too dry the tender germ dies

The standards for wheat promul-
gated today divide wheat into the
following classes and sub-classes:

All standards are fixed on a dock

moved by proper sleeves and that the
residue of wheat will be graded ac-
cording to its quality and condition.
In addition, the regulations pro-

standards defines bases of determn-
alton of percentages, dockage, mixed
wheat, smutty wheat treated wheat

How to Plant

Always plant in straight rows. If
you expect to cultivate with horse
the rows must be at least / 8 inches
apart and had better be "a inches.
Have the rows as long as possible
and save turning 1t is som etimes
advisable to have the rows in sec
tons, but usually it is better to have
only one kind of vegetable in a row.
like to plant peas and bush beans
in double rows with every other
space 2 to 90 inches apart and the
row spaces Is to Is inches apart.
The rows protect one another and
are easier to care for in this manner.
Depth of Plant
There is no hard and fast rule for
depth of planting. If the season is
cold and late do not plant as deep
as you would if it were warm and
early. Large seeds like peas, beans,
and corn should be planted deeper
than small seeds like lettuce, car
rots, turnips, and celery. Very small
seeds should be planted just as near
the surface as can be planted and yet
covered
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1917-04-13
Firming the Soil

More people fail to get good
stand of plants because they do not
firm the soil around the seed than
for all other causes together. When
planting seeds like peas, corn. beans,
and in fact, any kind except the very
fine seeds like celery or some of the
flower seeds, it is best to tramp the
row with your feet and then make
the surface smooth.
Test Your Seed
Always test your seed before
planting so you will know how many
seeds will come up under good con-
ditions.
