Whenever you observe that water stands on the soil for
some length of time after a heavy rain, it shows that drain
age is needed. To correct this, shallow bitches should be dug
Ito allow this excess water to run off, and sand and organic
matter added also.
When preparing the soil be sure 1t is in good condition
for working or you may cause hard Jumps to form which
be an inconvenience throughout the season. TO avoid
this always use the following est. Pick up a handful Of soil
and squeeze it. If it forms a mud ball it is too wet to be work
led then. But if the ball Of soil crumbes easily in your hand
it is friable or loose which shows that tits in the best condi-
ton for working.
Whenever gardens are planned on hillside terraces, it is
advisable to use large quantities Of manure and other organic
material such as compost. This improves the condition Of the
unproductive subsoil which usually is present. This condi-
ton can also be improved BY placing on the lower terrace the
|topssoil obtained from constructing the terrace Immediately
above.

lblen you have with your soil. consult Us al the Agricultural
Station.

Yet sometimes there is little choice when selecting the
site for the garden. Often the soils available to US for this
purpose are not Of the bests quality, or only small parts Of
the land may be suitable for growing crops.
Generally crops do well on any of our soils, except those
that are very shallow or stony, or are nearly pure mari, or
are such heavy clay that they stay wet and sticky for days
after ~eachsrain.
If you are lucky enough to have any of the other types
of soil your chances for success in gardening are good How
ever if such is not the case, as mentioned, the soils you 90
have may be more productive if you know how to improve
them.
The question is: Do you know how this can be done?
Where heavy clay soils must be used they may be improved
by putting on a 8 inch layer of coarse sand, followed by 3 ms.
Of old manure, or pen manure mixed with leaves, dead grass,
bagasse, cane trash, or other vegetation. These should be
thoroughly mixed into the top 3 or 4 inches of clay by plow-
ing or spading.
Very sandy soils are easy to cultivate even when very
wet or quite dry, but they do not hold much moisture and
lack plant nutrients. Such soils can be improved if they are
fortified, and If they are irrigated often. For permanent i'm
provement, very sandy soils should be covered with from 4
to 5 inches Of loan surface soil. Or you may work in 2 inches
Of clay and A inches of rotted manure into the top 3 or 4 ms.
Of sand by blowing Or ~spading. Trash, bagasse, or other We
getable matter is also very helpful
Also, if heavy clays or very sandy soils must be used, all
ways be sure that the area is free Of large trees which would
block the sunlight and use up the moisture and plant nu-l
trients needed by the crops.
Adequate drainage is anothe- essential Of q good garden

decision to build new elementary
school building was, of course, the
big news. Voters approved the
1895, 900 bond issue 1108 TO 218, an
S3.5 per cent favorable majority. The
music department was also making
an impressive record in statewide
competition and a. survey report
showed that Button teachers ir
April ranked tops in the state among
exempted village schools in years OF
training and preparation for thei,
work.
These were perhaps the highlights
of the news in Bluffton this year, but
there We're lsoSinteresting sidelights
on Bluffton 1854. The towns usual
generosity for worthwhile things was
evidenced by a $1,000 record collec-
ton for the Polio Fund, and later ii
the year a financial drive for the Boy
Scouts yielded $3.50.
A commentary on the times was
seen IN reports that a Biunton area
couple, Mr.. and Mrs Harley Mar
quart left their farm for quick visit
with their daughter and son-in-law
and infant grandson in Alaska. Fly
ing up and back, their trip lasted two
weeks. The Triplett Electrical Instru-
ment company installed the towns
first color television set for expert
mental purposes, and the Dutch Elm
disease took eight beautiful trees ir
the Campus Drive neighborhood
Turkey prices fell to 80 cents pei
pound, the lowest since Pearl Harbor
and several local men reported seeing
flying saucerS-or whatever the
strange lights were in the sky.
Thus was the news for 1854 re-
ported through the 81 issues of The
Bluffton News.

history ending in July with s49,676.16
of business.
Other indications of 4 Bluffton's
growth although not by sensational
leaps and bounds-was the new tele-
phone directory which listed 1,427
subscribers in the Bluffton-Beaver
dam area. At mid-year the telephone
company also announced a rate in
crease estimated to cost subscribers
an additional $4,000 per year, and
before the years end, the town council
was making efforts to get improved
service for the community with a
complete inspection by the Public
Utilities Commission promised for
the beginning of the new year.
In Field of Education
Other important things happened
in the field of education In Bluffton
during 1854. The college acquired
the old Mosiman home as a residence
for President L. L. Rarnseyer and
family, and their former home was
converted into another small dormi-
tory building for boys to be known as
The Amstutz House. DIR. J. S. Schulz
tz retired as dean of the college and
his place was taken by DR.. Robert S.
Kreider.
The handwriting was also on the
wall for an apparently more rapid
growth of the college along with all
institutions of higher learning within
the next decade. Directors of the
college began to think ip terms of a
new dormitory. 1t was felt that the
student body could be nearly doubled
to 400 if dormitory facilities were
provided.

D. m. at Lima's Bradfield Center

ton of Fred Hermann, former Bluff

the Marines.
The game against Columbus Grove
could we'll mean the eventual winner
of the first-round in the league race
as the Dillsaver team is in second
place with 81 mark and win for
the Putnam countians would put
them into a first place tie with the
locals.

bicycle.
Just any old steam bicycle won't
do. Blake is seeking a steam bicycle
entered in the Arizona Territorial
Exposition of 1884, the forerunner
of the present Arizona State Fair.
L. D. Copeland, Tempe, entered
the contraption in the mechanical
arts department of the 1884 fair.
What happened to Mr.. Copeland
and the steam bicycle is not
known. However, each is believed
to have survived the fair. AT least,
there is no record of anything un-
fortunate having happened to them
during the fair.
Should you have any L. D.. Cope
land in your ancestry, Blake would
appreciate it if you would look
around the attic and see if there's
steam bicycle there. Blake would
like to have the thing fired up and
run around the race track during
the 1854 state fair, November 5-14.
He isn't planning to do this firing
and riding himself, you understand,
he'd just like to see it done.
