Water Penetration

When water is applied to soil
it goes down. but not far down
even in pure sand. Every sol
particle. sand included. attracts
to itself a film of moisture which
1t holds. 1t takes a heavy appli-
cation to moisten any soil a foot
deep. The smaller the soil par
ticles. the more numerous they
are and the most water they at.
tract and hold. Sand being
coarse. holds least. One inch Of
water applied to the surface will
wet sand about IA inches deep;
while 1t takes 2 inches to wei
loan and 3 inches to wet clay the
same depth.

THIS WEEK
IN THE GARDEN

Ietable grower will find that ad-
ditional paintings sof beans and
sweet corn are necessary If a
continuous harvest is to be had.
Mulch
Mulches should be spread as
far as the available materials
will go. Avoid mulching the iris
beds because they need the hot
sun and a good baking. Start in
with those kinds of plants that
need cool root-run for good
growth, then protect the shall
low-rooted plants and shrubs. If
any are to be left out it should
be the marigolds and zinnias
which thrive in hot soils. The
chrysanthemums need a good
mulch to prevent disease spores
and nematodes from being
splashed onto the foliage. Roses
will stop growth if the soil tenn
Iperatures are too high. Let's all
mulch to benefit our plants, save
moisture and avoid unnecessary
wedding and cultivation during
the heat Of the summer.
Eliminate Rose Cankers
Canker is still appearing in
many rose gardens. 1t should be
pruned out and the cut ends of
the canes treated with a pro-
tective coating. In pruning the
canker be sure to cut far enough
below the visible infection so
that the shears will not come in
contact with infected wood
Stem canker can be spread by
the pruning shears. If the cut
is made in infected wood the
shears should be sterilized be-
fore making another cut.
Keep Azaleas In Bounds
1t Is not too late to prune the
azaleas. Keep them shapely and
within bounds. Don't delay
much longer or flower buds will
be removed as you prune.
Treat Iris Roots
In digging and resetting the
iris it is important to examine
carefully each rhizome for signs
