Need For Home Gardens Calls For Work in United States Depal The home gardener in the city, un- like the gardener on the farm, has not a variety of land for cultivation. He is restricted to the limits of his back yard or lawn, and - therefore must solve his individual problems of pre- paring the soil for garden production. No matter how bad the soil in the yard may be, it must be used. More ingenuity, therefore, is often neces- sary to supply the prover conditions in the city. garden, but the task is simplified by the fact that the same jprinciples apply in the town as in the country, and that only one kind of 'soil usually is met with in the back-yard food plot.

He should save i of vegetable refuse, lawn clfpings, | shrubbery trimmings, fallen leaves, | kitchen waste, etc., “and make a com- |post heap. A dirt covering will keep | this material from blowing away and | will prevent objectionable odors. In {the spring this decaying humus-form- ing material should be mixed deeply into the soil with a digsing fork. |Heavy clay soils are made ‘more porous if sifted coal ashes are. thor- oughly mixed with them, but there is {no plant food or hurus in the ashes. Lime makes clay soils' more. granuldr and less lumpy. After being treated with one or more of these méthods, if the soil is worked thoroughly with a digging fork or rake until it is fige and level and without clods, it s ready for fertilizing and planting. How Fertilizers Work, Unless applied in too large amounts at one time, decayed manure holds moisture . like a sponge, and so its presence. greatly .increases.the moist- ure capacity of the 'soil ‘and ‘greatly lessens the danger from drought. On soils that are too heavy, manure, be- cause -of its spongy. character;” holds the fine clay particlés' apart so°that they can not become massed to- gether and form clods, while on sandy coarser particles of sand. us it is evident that manure, by. giving sandy solls more “body” in filling the large Interspaces. and clay soils less body by maki them more porous, greatlyyim- proves the condition-of both: for the At et _msdain mlantz.

Commercial fertilizers can never serve as a successful substitute for. this preliminary treatment but they are a supplement to it, and when or- ganic matter in the form of manure or vegetation, and also lime if neces- sary, has been added, the soil is in condition to make the best use of commercial fertilizers if they are needed. and The use of fertilizers Add Attractiveness to a Garden; and er to Work. manures was in this seri Break Up Hard Ground. |, The kind of preparation that must | be given to the home garden and the; amount of work that will be required will depend largely on the condition of -the plot. and its previous use. If the garden ground has been made hard by much tramping, as is often the case in back yards, considerable labor will be needed to get it in proper con- | dition. When plowing with a team can be practiced, that is the bdst discussed in Article X ing. In cases where the ground is not to be planted at once and hard freezing is likely to occur after spad- ing, it may be advisable to leive the ground rough, preparing it for plant- ing as needed. ~The freezing tends to break up the clods and make the soil lighter and it also destroys insects. IGround left in the rough will dry ost niore quickly than smoothed soil. If tie plot can not be plowed, the gar- dener miust. resort to. the use of 2 garden fork or spade or, in the case of very hard epots, a mattock. . It is not sufficient that. the surface be made fine. - The- s0il- should be well pulver- zlzed to the depth of the spade or fork. i Then if the supply of organic matter the liming. taken care of, the soil can be kept in gooll condition during the summer. | After this portion of the work is done the fining of .the soi!, planting, and cultivation are not arduous.
