AIR IN SOIL

There is air above the soil and there
should be air down in the soil in the
area occupied by plant roots. Produc-
tive soils are those which are well
aerated. A water-logged soil is not
productive of our ordinary plants be-
cause the air cannot enter TO assist
in the. natural processes which should
be going on constantly in the soil.
A well aeratcd soil is one in which
the soil particles are granular and
comparatively loose SO as to permit
the entrance of air and the exit of
carbon dioxide and other by-products
of respiration of the roots. Oxygen
is one of the components of fresh air
and it is needed in the termination.
Oxygen is needed for those micro
scopic forms of life which assist in
the breaking down of humus COM
pounds into desirable plant food
The ingress of fresh air in soils may
be added by the drainage of heavy
soils and by the thorough preparation
and efficient tillage of all soils. Air
is just as much a factor in the sue
cessful growth of plants down in the
soil as it is in the processes which
take place in the open air.

TIMELY HINTS

Some of the bad garden diseases
are brought into the garden on the
roots of plants and include such trou-
bles as club root and root-knot. These
diseases not only damage the present
crop but also infect the soil, causing
these troubles with future crops. In
purchasing plants the buyer should
make sure that they are healthy. The
tops and roots should be free Of in
sects. The roots should be clean,
hairy and free from knots or swell
ings. prevention is better than
cure" is especially true in the home
garden plot.
Many gardeners soak their vege-
table seeds q few hours in water from
which the chill has been removed.
This soaking helps in swelling the
seed coverings.
Wrinkled peas should form the bulk
of the later sowings Of garden peas.
Early potatoes should be planted early
enough so that the crop will mature
before the dry. hot weather of Sum-
mer. Attend to this task the first pos
sible moment.
The cold frame should be ventilated
when the weather is warm. The side
opposite the wind should be elevated,
using a brick or block of wood about
3 inches high. This ventilation makes
the plants stockier and assists in the
prevention of the ''Gamping-off' dis
ease.

CARE OF GARDEN
PEAS

When grown for commercial pur-
poses, the low varieties of garden
peas are generally planted and no sup.
port need be provided. In the home
garden. however, some of the medium
and tall growing varieties are desir-
able. These need support and, whsn
brush is obtainable, the short branches
may be stuck in the ground SO that
the plants may climb over this sup.
port. Peas may be sown in either
single drills (rows) or double drills
to s TO 10 inches apart and the
double rows may climb on the same
support.
Many growers prefer to use poultry
netting OF ~ inches and 36 inches in
height for the medium and tall grow
ing sort or peas Firm posts are set
at the ends Of the rows and the poul.
try netting Is stretched between them.
Additional supports are placed at in.

AND ITS ENVIRONS
]. HUM, Garden Editor, The Star.

In transplanting vegetables or
flower plants the gardener should take
as much of the adhering earth as is
| possible to hold on the roots. When
| the roots are stripped of soil they
| should be puddled without delay with
muddy water and kept in the muddy
| pail until they are actually removed
for putting into the soil.
Sometimes there are a few tent
caterpillar nests in neighboring culti.
waited and wild fruit trees, especially
the wild cherry. One should get rid of

ing before the eggs hatch and the
worms defoliate the choice trees or
spread this pest by allowing the es-
cape of the mature moth.
Now that the frost is getting out
of the lawns, they should. be rolled,
fertilized and repaired as soon as pos.
sible. Stable manure is liable to bring
in weed seeds and is generally un-
slightly. Sheep manure and cotton
seed meal sink into the spaces be-
tween the blades of grass and are eff
fective as carriers Of plant food.

of roses, especially the hybrid teas

8 to 10 inches in the ground. This
wire netting should be cleaned at the
close of the season and stored in
dry attic SO that it may be used for
several successive years.
This same style of stake, set at
closer intervals, may also be used and
the vines allowed to climb on wires or
string stretched along the row and
fastened 6 or s inches apart on the
stakes. Often lath are used and,
after being set in pairs on either
side of the rows, the tops are tied to-
