SOIL FOR THE GARDEN

n loose lOany sou we'll suppl
ed with moisture is the most i'd
eal for Il garden. Very heavy
soils or soils of Il "gumbo" nature
or gravrIly soils. are not very
desirable. Heavy soils can hc
improved by the use of manure.
Land which has been in some
grass crop for few years can be
put into shape by deep plowing
and thorough disking. Land which
i'm in native prairie sod will be
hard to work down to IA good seed
bed. Avoid, if possible, any
land badly infested with weeds. If
necessary to use such land rake
up the weeds and burn them. Land
sloping to the south or south
west will suffer more in dry
weather in late summer than
land slooing to the north or east.
