Ample Tank Size
The additional cost of a tank of
adequate size is a wise investment.
Larger tanks are used where the de-
mand is heavier and each large job
should be checked to its require
ments. AS a rule, not more than 20
percent of the tank capacity is avail
able as a reserve supply.

Hydrant outlets should be located
on all sides of the barn and at

Gardens and Orchards
What About My Soil?
When Shall | Plant?
BY F. M. HARRINGTON

MANY GARDEN SOILS are sent
into the experiment station each
year for analysis to determine why
the garden has not done well the
past season.
Most of these analyses show a fair
to good amount of the necessary
elements such as nitrogen, phosphor-
Gus and potash. What is therefore
wrong? The organic content of the
soil is generally low, and that means
poor physical condition of the soil
and poor moisture-holding capacity.
We generally advise building up
the soil organic content by liberal
applications of manure. Perhaps
gardeners can profit by the garden
program followed by the experiment
station in its experimental plots.
Two methods are employed: The
first one consists in making heavy
annual applications of well-rotted
barnyard manure, using as much as
80 to 40 loads per acre. It manure is
not available, we turn under a good
green manure crop. Gardens respond
to such treatments and needs for
using commercial fertilizers are at a
minimum.
Planting Date
When shall 1 plant my garden?
This is a common question asked us
every spring. 1t is impossible to
name specific calendar dates in
sections of the state have the last
average spring frost in April, while
in other sections this date does not
occur until June. The answer is
therefore variable. We answer this
question by combining the weather
factor of the crops.
Here is a program n can follow:
l. Hardy crops which will resist
cold, such as onions, lettuce, radishes
p~arsnips, can be planted as soon as
the ground can be prepared.
2. Partly hardy crops which viii
stand some cold, including peas
beets, kale, turnips, carrots, satisfy
spinach, etc., may be planted severa
weeks before the last average spring
frost. Also at this time one should
put out hardy transplants such a
cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, eel
cry.
8. Tender crops grown from fiel'
planted seed, such as sweet corr
beans, cucumbers, pumpkins an,
squash, should be planted aroun'
the time of the last average frost o
slightly before-late enough tina
they will be emerging after DANCE
of frost is past.
A.. Very tender crops grown fror
transplants, such as tomatoes, per
pers, egg plant, sweet potato, shout
be moved to the garden about
days after the last average frost.
In planting a crop such as potatoe
should realize that it takes tn
plants about three weeks to emerg'
This crop, then, can well be plante
about two weeks ahead of the la,
average spring frost.

ing and may prove to be an out
standing popular favorite. 1t is
part of the creative work she did
with the aid of a grant from the
American Academy and National
Institute of Arts and Letters, given
to her two years ago, and Gug-
genheim fellowship awarded her
last year. She said 1t was stir
ring adventure, creatively and
technically" The regions she
visited are remote, wild and not
easily accessible. She had the
advice and aid of many authori-
ties on Florida and its wildlife,
who made 1t less difficult for her
TO work In many places which she
says she could never have reached
alone.
Another impression I derived
from the show is the large size of
many prints. Each year print
makers. seem to tackle bigger
plates, stones and blocks. The
results are the size Of average oil
and water color paintings, In other
words, wall-sized prints, which
can be seen easily for consider
able distance. Collectors who
keep their prints In portfolios will
need increasingly roomy ones. and
no little muscular strength to
handle them. OF course, there Is
no objection to the size an artist
chooses to make his work; one
cannot but admire his Olympian
indifference to the fast-shrinking
wall and storage space OF most
present-day homes.
The major disappointment OF
the exhibition (to me) is the
meager Washington area repre-
sentation: Two prints, by Rudl

Asked the otner day. how she
made her choice betweeni these
two claims, she said: I'm my case

sidered my duty to India greater
than my duty to my family since

Women In political life In
India are expected to show .
certain simplicity, even austerity,
in their dress and department.
They are increasingly winning re-

Nine. Pandit is an excellent
illustration of this contention.
She was the first and only woman
to lead a national delegation TO
the United Nations General As
sembly in September. 1916. Pre-
viously, she presented her coun-
try's cause to the first U. N. con-
ference in San Francisco in le45.

being o superb speaker and able
diplomat. In 1947. she was ap-

she held for two years.
