PACKED SNOW KEEPS
MICE FROM TREES

In last weeks issue of the AskOv
American an item was published tell
ing of considerable damage done to
fruit trees near St. Cloud by mice.
This item called to the mind of j. T.
Smith of Hinckley, the experience his
family had when they came to Pine
county Is years ago.
Mr.. Smith states that during the
first winter, snow laid deep on the
ground and when it had melted in
the spring many of their trees had
been stripped of bark by field mice.
In subsequent winters they tried sew
eral futile remedies but finally found
one which seemed to solve the prob
lem. The one which baffled the little
rodent was the trampling of snow
around the trees at intervals during
the winter or after each snow fall.
Coming to this packed snow in their
burrowing operations it appears that
the mice detoured and thus missed
the object of their search.

Gets More Welding Equipment.

John Fl. Sorensen was in Mime
apolis Saturday and purchased a 300
Amp. Westinghouse Portable Electric
welding outfit which he will mount
on a IA ton International truck that
he purchased from the Askov Produce
Association. Within short time Mr..
Sorensen will have portable welding
outfit that will be second to none in
this part of the state. With it he is
able to weld iron of almost any size
and the beauty" of it is that the
broken pieces need not be brought to
his garage as he is equipped to go
anywhere with the outfit. In addition
to this Mr.. Sorensen also has his
small portable outfit which he pur-
chased some months ago, for lighter
work, and of course also his regular
welding equipment in the garage,
thus he will really become special
list in this class of work.

anyone can have beautiful, velvety
green lawn. To be sure, certain fun
damental principles must be followed,
but they are few and very simple to
grasp.
A sandy loan is ideal for lawn
but not a necessity. 1t is well, how
ever, to approximate this type of soil,
which can be done by working in a
little sand with soils which consist
principally of clay, or working in a
little clay with soils that are very
sandy.
Spade the area to the depth of six
inches provided this is not deeper
than the top soil. After spading, work
the soil with hoe and rake until finely
pulverized.
Apply four pounds of plantfoOd per
one hundred square feet evenly over
the area and work it lightly into the
top couple of inches of soil.
Apply the seed evenly. If you seed
by hand, apply half of the seed
lengthwise and the other half cross
wise. After seeding, roll the area
or lamp it with wide board to assure
good contact of the seed with the soil
Immediately after rolling, water the
lawn thoroughly, using very fine
spray. Water daily thereafter until
the seeds terminate.
1t is best to make your lawn as
early in spring as possible, for Their
the grass has an opportunity to be-
come established before the hot, try.

Plant Sweet Peas.

Sweet peas should be planted as
soon as you can dig in the ground.
Light colored seeds produce pastel
tints. Darker seeds promise deep
colors. All are very hard shelled.
To aid termination, soak in warm
water overnight or for few hours,
or file through the seed coat, the
end opposite the termination point.
Select a sunny spot where the soil is
rich and we'll drained. Dig trench
five or six inches deep. Though the
plants should eventually be six inches
apart, it's best to plant the seeds
more thickly and thin out the extras
later. Cover the seeds two inches
deep now and gradually add more
rich soil as they grow.

Uncover the Garden.

Select a dull, cloudy day to loosen
straw, burlap, and the gardens win
ter cover Don't remove it all at one
time. Thus too sudden an exposure
to the sun is avoided. Gather and
burn all manner of leftover winter
debris, since it may harbor insect
pests. Dig the winter mulch we'll
into the rose bed and lilacs and apply
a liberal amount of complete plant
food to the top soil. Cut off all dead
wood and weak shoots, as these will
not produce bloom. Cane fruits,
climbing roses and other plants that
have been laid down for winter pro-
lection can be uncovered and returned
to their place on the trellis or arbor.

a look of citation on his face Tor hers)
odds are that he is garden fan.
All who share this enthusiasm stand

Those who think of garden fans as
queer persons, curiously interested in
seeds, rakes, sprays and fertilizers
and strangely willing to waste after
Moons of fine golfing weather digging
in the ground, have a distorted view
Of the matter
There is a sporting side to garden
ing. Both physical and mental eXer-
else are abundantly provided by the
work of planting and cultivating and
by the study of cultural methods
through which one may grow earlier
and larger crops than his neighbor.
Specialize in your vegetable garden
this year. Tomatoes are good spe-
ciality.
Try a new vegetable. You can't
improve the garden without few
experiments.
You need tape lines, stakes, plant

them in and have them handy.
