TO BE SURE OF CROPS,
 PREPARE GARDEN WEI

One of the first obstacles encoun- tered by most town gardeners is in
 breaking up and preparing the soil,
 but the difficulty is far mfom insur- mountable.
 The farmer has teams and blows
 and can easily prepare his garden, but
 in the city it is hard to obtain a blow
 man, and in most cases the garden
 area is so small as to make it difficult
 to work team. Where it is not feas-
 ible to /plow the land, spading will
 have to be resorted to. In fact, Unit led States Department of Agriculture specialists believe a good job of spad- ing is better in the long run than blow ing. and, while it requires a larger amount of hand labor, the work can be done at odd times and will not prove burdensor1e.
 |. There are cases. however, where the land IS so hard that it can be neither ploWed nor spadcd and about the only method of breaking it up is by use of a pick or nlattock, This would seem like an impossible proposition from a garden standpoint. but, on the other hand, hundreds of splendid city gar tdens have been grown on just such land. In some cases the rocks renoy- | ed from the soil have been sufficient to construct a fence around the outside 1 of the garden.
 1 The essential in preparing a difficult i piece of land for a garden is to get the 1 soil broken up fine to a depth of s CT
 10 inches and to incorporate with it a considerable quantity of stable or barnyard manure. The supply of ma
 nure in cities is now limited, and gar
 deners should make early arrange ments for the amount they will need. l Assuming that the average backward garden will be about 50 by 50 to 10 by : 80 feet in size. it is safe to recom-
 mend the application of one large two horse load of manure to each garden. | In some eases Eacant city lots have been. used c.s a dumping ground for emanurc' and no additional fertilization
 w!ir be required, This is the exception, i however, and as a general rule it will i De necessary to apply fertilizing nla- terial to the. land,
 ! Gardeners frequently inquire as to the adyisability of using coal and wood ashes ~en garden soils, The use
 of coal ashes is permissible on heavy clay soils. However. they should be i screened before being applied, and ] then should De spread evenly over the
 surface and thoroughly mixed with the
 soil as deep as it is nlowed or spaded. Coal ashes have little value as fer Itilizer, their use, being mainly to loosen the soil and make it more work 1 able. Wood ashes, especially those produced hs5 burning hardwoods like hickory or oak. frequently contain as high as [ De? cent. potash, and are valuable fertilizers, Those produced from burning soft woods. such as pine, 1 and also hardwood ashes that have been exposed to the weather, have comparatively little value as fertilizer. about 50 pounds of dry, unleached

SELECTING SUPERIOR STUDS.

To select strains of potatoes which are best adapted for commercial pro- duetion, the United States department of agriculture and cooperating state agencies are conducting extensive ex- periments in seed improvement. Trials are being made in Wisconsin, Mime sota, Iowa Oregon, Washington, Maine, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas Several strains of the leading commercial varieties now grown in the north are under test, the purpose being to study them carefully under actual growing and harvest con- 1itions in the field and to select the best strain of seed Of each commercial variety. The following year each strain will be grown on larger scale. As the supply of seed stock permits, the seed is to be distributed among growers and seedsmen, and in this way is to be gradually popularized and dis seminated This investigation will be of country wide significance in i'm proving the future stocks of seed po ta toes.

fed than alfalfa and silage Alfalfa is as rich in protein as wheat bran, greatly reduces the amount of high priced grain food required, aHd helps to maintain the fertility of the soil. We can grow cyr own alfalfa and make our own silase. Silage saves waste.
 If we knew our hogs were worth S15 per hundred pounds We would not sell them for $10
 Yet when we sell our butterfat and waste that portion of the food value contained in skinned mill5 by not properly feeding it. we are not getting as much for our dairy products as we should.
 A hundred pounds of skinned milk, when fed to hogs or calves while it is fresh and sweet and contains the anil maj heat, has a food value that is equal to five times the value of one pound of live hog,
 Skinned milk fresh from the sep arator, is one of the best of foods for growing calves and pigs. It contains all the necessary food elements except

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

hope to succeed Witfi the clover crop any nlere according to Henry Dorsey. agronemist for the extension service of Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs. However. farmers should re- member that lime will not take the place of drainage. the proper seed bed, good seed or an abundant supply of plants food. Lime is anetaa plant food, says M sRorss.E-.sl is an agent that induces good sLssanifation, thus pro- rnotIhg iaeterfH aStkty and leading Sto tlfe best of comb tions for plant growth.
 Ground limestone is the safest form of lime to use, but double the weight is required to give the same results enc would receive from burned lime The amount to apply varies widely, due to the varying aeidity of the fields A safe application is about two tons to the acre. but good results are often se cured from single ton. This should be applied uniformly once each four or%fiNe years before corn or at the time 1 of seeding down the land, and should be thoroughly narrowed into the soil when applied. The finer the limestone is ground the i quicker it will act. If it all will pass l through a -mesh screen about half l of the material will pass through 50- iflSotl sClSFi, " lille d ilIleE PFOuuct IS Idesira bfe, the cost of producing it is so
 much greater that it justifies the use l Of the coarses material but in slightly l larger amQunts, Ground limestone
 that will all pass 60-mesh screen is
 entirely satisfactory.
 E Farmers who expect to use lime tshouid remember that the lime is go-
 ing tq cause more humus to be used
 up. This means larger crops. but un-
 less provision is made for restoring or
 increasing the humus of the soil
 eventually tAe soil will become poorer +Manures and green crops for blowing down furnish a ready means for re- storing humus which is active and eff
 fective in crop production
 We should lime our soils. but at the
 same time. .8we should see that manure
 or other Dsganic matter is applied sc that the gfeatest benefit may be real ized from the lime.

hardwood ashes may be applied to a plot Of ground 90 by 60 feet in size, but should he well mixed with the soil.
 An application of about 10 ordinary 10-qUart pailfuls of hydrated or air, slalzed lime to a plot of ground 70 by 60 feet in size will generally prove beneficial. Lime has the effect of loosening and pulverizing any heavy clay soil. and of binding loose. sandg soils. Lime also corrects any sournes3 in the soil due to lack of drainage, but in a case of this kind proper d,s>nage should be secured.
 Lime should always be applied to the surface. and in no case shoult it be put on the land at the same time as commercial fertilizer
 Tho proper method would be to spread the lime upon the land just af- ter blowing and before narrowing; then apply the commercial fertilizer one week later. Under no circum- stances should lime be mixed with commercial fertilizer or with manure, as it liberates the nitrogen from them.
 The cleanings from the poultry house are valuable as a garden fertilizer, and these should be saved in barrels or some other receptacle where they can be kept reasonably dry until they are spread upon the garden. This class of fertilizer is very rich and liable to burn the plants if applied in too great quantities or in drect contact with the roots of the plants.
 The work of cultivating the garden will be greatly reduced if special at- tention is given to the thorough prepa- ration of the soil before any seeds are planted. In spading the land it should be turned over in small slices and thoroughly pulverized with the edge of the spade. No amount of ralSing of the surface will result in pulverizing the lower strata of soil unless this is done as it is turned over. In soils that are easy to handle, four tine spading fork is to be preferred to an ordinary spade, because it breaks up the soil and pulverizes it to better advantage.
 The home gardeners of England take great pains in the preparation of their garden soils, even going to the extent of throwing the surface soil to one side and then spading manure into the sub soil to the depth of IA or 16 inches. After the subsoil is so treated, the sur face soil is replaced and great quanti- ties of decayed manure mixed with it. This process is known as ''trenching," and has the effect of carrying the crops through the drouth period in much better manner than where the soil is not broken so deeply.
 Preparation of soil and app1ica ton of fertilizer is discussed in further de- tail in garden bulletins of the United States department of agriculture, free on request

SOW GRASS SEED NOM.

Land which is to be seeded to grass this year should be seeded this week. The best proportion of seed mixture for conditions here is IS pounds of timothy, five of red clover. six of red top, three of dislike clover and. one of alfalfa per acre. From one and one half to two tons of ground limestone, or it's equivalent in some other form of lime, should be used.
 If oats are to be seeded with grass, the oats should be used sparingly. All the work. fertilizer and seed is intend ed primarily for the coming hay crop, and the oats are merely incidental. From one and one-half to two bushels of oats per acre is enough. More than that will be likely to smother and kill the grass crop. Glover seed is hign, but the eNhenefit which it gives the soil yl addition to its value as a crop makes it worth while

butterfat, and a substitute for that. can be supplied at a small cost bya using cernmeal. ground oats, cotton seed meal, etc.
 By feeding the skinned milk to calves or hogs practically all the fer tility taken from the soil in the pro- duction of milk is returned to the soil. The butterfat-the only part marketed contains little or no fertility.
 Skimmed milk is the most econom-- ical feed for growing calves, but it is- important that it be fed regularly as it comes. fresh. warm and sweet, direct from the separator. When fed that way it is alfays the same. It is not. sometimes sweet and sometimes sour,' sometimes warm and sometimes cold. i,-

PEACH CROP IN GOOD CONDITION

The condition about April l of the commercial peach crop was s4 per cent, of normal compared to the, final percentage last year of 52.4, according to the bureau of crop estimates of 1he United States department of agrieul- ture. No quantity estimates were giv- en, but the bureau, assuming that ad verse conditions do not affect the crop later, said that the April 1 condition report indicates that the 1919 peach crop may possibly exceed the very light crop of a0,54S,eo0 bushels in 1913 by as much as 40 per cent, and may equal if not exceed the 2S,9O1, ,o00 bush el crop of 1917. Conditions generally throughout the peach regions are ex- cellent, says the bureau, but emphasis is placed on the temporary nature of early peach reports.

USE HARROW IN ORCHARDS.

The continued wet weather offers an unusual opportunity to those farmers who wish to cultivate orchards which have been in sod number of years. Flowing is difficult and breaks many roots. The ground is now so wet and soft that the sod can be cut up by a disk harrow. In many cases this may be done while the ground is still too wet for blowing.

ARE YOUR TAXES HEAVY?
THEY MAY BE HEAVIER YET

Probably every reader of this paper
finds his taxes bit higher than he
likes to pay. Thousands of them have
been struggling for the last few weeks
to make out reports on income taxes
to the government, and have found
that six per cent takes pretty heavy
slice out of what was left over on New
Years day. Many of you had to Dor
row money to pay the taxes.
But this tax is nothing to what all
of us will have to pay if the Victory
Loan fails to go over. Uncle Sans
war bills must be paid. He prefers to
borrow the money from us and pay US
back later on.
But if he can't borrow it, he must
take tin the form of taxes. .
It's like the difference between rent
ing a house for ten years or buying IL
on the installment plan. In one case,
YOU wind up with thick bundle OF
rent receipts. In the other, you have
a deed to your home.
Isn't it better to lend your money to
the Government at a fair rate OF In
terest than to pay it out in taxes
which never come back?
That's worth considering when the
time comes to invest in Victory Bonds

Don't Forget the Roof!

The need for the billions the Vic
tory bonds will bring is plain to any
man who stops to think. The war is
not over, though the actual fighting
has ceased. The bills are still running
up. Millions of men are still in uni
form, drawing pay and food and cloth
ing. The Secretary Of the Treasury
declares:
Government contracts cannot be re-
pudiated The goods must be paid for
in full. Our shipbuilding activities
must be carried out"
So, it can easily be seen that the
Job is not finished. What would you
think of a farmer who built him q
house, laying the foundations, putting
up the walls, ceilingathe rooms-and
forgetting the roof?
The roof will not be put on our ma
tional house until the job is finished
and the bills paid.
The campaign for Victory bonds will
begin on April 81. The exact details
of the issue have not yet been an
nounced, but it is considered certain
that the bonds will be made an unusu-
ally attractive investment.
