ture terraces will be formed. and the water will be caught and allowed to seep into the ground.
 Half of the fertilizer. should be scat tered over the entire surface of the land The remainder, can be. applied near the plants after they have come up. If one chooses to apply all the fertilizer before planting. be sure that at least part is spread over the en- tire surface so that the small root lets will receive nourishnent later in the season.
 For those who have already planted their gardens and are waiting for the seeds to appear. a, timely suggestion would be to watch for the first crop of weeds which are sure 70 come in the majority of cases before the shoots. A great deal of time may be saved if the ground is loosely broken up with a rake, thus destroying the little weeds which in time would cause 8 great deal of trouble. For those using stable manure this will be espe- ciaIly valuable.
