SUGGESTIONS FOR GARDEN AND
ORCHARD

Pruning Small Fruits-These fruits
may be pruned n time now and
should be completed before growth
starts. All prunings should be taken
out Of the plantation and burned. This
lessons the possibility of spreading
disease spores from the old canes and
destroys many insect eggs which are
usually found in the canes. All old
canes, those which have borne fruit
once. should be removed from the
raspberry. and blackberry rows. The
weaker n Of last years growth
are removed and thinned Out until the
new canes are left standing about six
inches apart with the red raspberry.
In pruning currants and gooseberries
old canes owe four years old are re-
moved mad usually about four or five
strong vigorous one-year old canes
left with eight or ten two and three
year old n Ii these simple in
structions are carried out and fol-
lowed up by several civilizations dur
ing the spring much will have been
done towards %insuring a satisfactory
crop OF small frult.
Propagation of Perennials-Peony,
iris, phlox, asparagus. rhubarb, and
other perennials may be propagated
as this time OF the year. 1t Is done By
digging up the old plants and divid-
ing the crowns into several parts. In
the case of the peony and rhubarb
care must be taken SC as not to injure
the large buds or eyes. II is quite |
important to get this work done as
early as possible as growth begins
Immediately after the ground has
out and carr should be taken
to get the divided crowns sufficiently
deep. which is usually two inches
than the old crowns we're. In
the home garden carrants and goose
berries may be propogated by divi-
sion OF the old plants at this time of
the year. Many ornamental shrubs
may be treated likewise. II might
be well to dig a few young Wig
orous strawberry. plants from the
bed and start a new bed.
Fertilization Of the Soil-Early In
spring is the most advantageous time
to fertilize orchards, gardens. small

plans are carried ont, according to
r. f. Waters, department contact off,
Ger i'm this state, who visited in Sioux
Falls Tuesday evening. The features
of these advertising stunts will be dis
plays of things typical of the state
such as a team OF buffalo, the Mitchell
Corn palace, the Belle-FOurche round
up, and the Canton ski tournament.
One of the stunts said to be planned.
is the threshing of South Dakota grain
on n of the principal streets OF st.
Paul.
Mr.. Waters said that commercial

posts of the Legion in financing and

fruit plantations, lawns, etc. Wen
rotted stable manure gives excellent
results and is usually readily obtain
able. After applying 1t should be
thoroughly cultivated into the soil.
Where stable manure is not available
complete commercial fertilizer may
be used at the rate Of three to five
hundred pounds per acre. When nj
trate of soda is used for top-dressing
lawns it may be used at the rate of
200 pounds per acre or one and a
quarter pounds per square rod. As
high as forty tons of stable manure
is used by vegetable growers to the
acre, although 20 tons per acre is
considered satisfactory in fruit and
garden work. Litter from the chicken
house is valuable in that it contains
a high percent of nitrogen.
Early Crops-We take a great deal
of pleasure in having vegetables a few
days in advance Of the season. while
commercial growers find il very pro-
fitable to get on the market a few days
earlier than thtr neighbors. 1t is
time to start the tomato. pepper, egg
plant, celery, early cabbage and allied
crops in the hotbed. They may be
planted in the bed direct or in flats
in the house and shifted into the hot
bed. Reddish, lettuce. and onion sets
may be planted ard grown to maturity
in the hotbed. The soil in the seed
fats should be Of a sandy loan text
ure and not very well supplied VITA
humus. A common practice is to
place about two inches or more of
sandy soil in the fiat and pack it very
firmly. Then the seed is scattered
broadcast over this packed surface
and pressed into the soil with the
object used to pack the soil, after
which a thin layre one-eighth inch of
soil is sieved over the seed, watcrcd
and shaded with paper.
