Read The a year. Soils Enemies of Vegetable Seeds Lime and Fertilizer Should Be Used for Good Growth. "Don't lose the crop for the lack of a little lime," is the timely advice given by Prof. A. W.

Blair, soil chemist at the New Jersey experiment station, to vegetable growers who are making plans for their spring work. That acid soil has been at least partly responsible for failures commonly attributed to poor seed, the lack of plant-food, or some other cause has been shown by experiments. The seeds of such crops as spinach, carrots, beets, lettuce, celery and cabbage are very much depressed in germination if the soil is strongly acid, and if they do finally germinate, the plants are apt to be stunted and die before they reach maturity. The vegetable grower may well take a leaf from the notebook of the tobacco grower, who in preparing his seedbed for plants in the early spring, stakes out a 'small piece of ground on which he burns logs, brush and such materials in order to have plenty of lime and potash in the soil. The fact that he rarely fails in getting a fine lot of plants is proof of the value of his method.

Of course this method cannot be applied to a whole field, but lime and fertilizer may be used in suflicient amounts to bring the soil into proper condition for good germination and growth. The county agricultural agent and the experiment station are always ready to make soil tests and give advice on the amount of lime to be used. Plan Amount of Manure Necessary for Garden The amount of manure necessary for your garden will depend upon the condition of the soil. Poor, worn out soils will necessarily need more than rich, mellow soils. From 2 to 30 tons of manure an acre is generally very satisfactory.

This means about a pound of manure to every square foot of garden space. Humus may be added to the garden soil by planting what is known as a leguminous crop. Soy beans and vetch are excellent crops for this purpose. Such crops take nitrogen out of the air and store it in their roots. After these crops are plowed into the soil the nitrogen is said to be "fixed" and young growing plants can use it as they need it.

This plan of putting humus into the soil is followed only between cropping times and cannot be successfully used to any great extent while your garden is in action. When green crops are thus plowed or spaded into the soil we call it green manuring. Best Time to Commence Pruning Various Trees When shall we start pruning? The old saying is, "Prune when the knife is sharp," which means that one time is as good as another. This particular saying is not entirely right. The pruning of apple trees can commence any time after the trees are dormant.

Grapes should not be pruned until after a cold snap. After the thermometer has once dropped to about 15 degrees, the shriveled freeze-killed canes can easily be detected, and there will be little danger of leaving canes for next year's fruit which will be killed before spring. Peach pruning had best be left until spring, when it will be possible to check up on winter injury to fruit buds. If a heavy percentage of the buds are destined to be killed during the winter it would be folly to cut down the crop with pruning. Farm Notes OHH More than $33,000,000 worth of forest products were lost in the United States last year through forest fires.

Sweet clover may be seeded from early fall till March 1. It has the. same range of planting date as oats. Heating drinking water for the hens with coal or wood is much cheaper than letting them heat it with food. Dry sand or ashes on the dropping board will keep the droppings from freezing to it, and make the cleaning an easier job.

Do not store seed corn in barrels or boxes. It will gather moisture and mold or freeze. Do not store over the laundry or over the stable. Alfalfa should be a permanent crop on every farm. There is no other crop that will return as high as acre value for the labor expended upon it.

Drinking water given live stock in cold weather should be warmed slightly. Otherwise, the animals will not drink as much water as they should. Cows confined for long in the barn are apt to have dirty hind quarters if not cared for. Clipping the long hair from the parts and the udder helps lots. Plenty of water must be used in putting up stover silage, since the fodder Itself is perfectly dry.

While such silage is hardly comparable to ordinary silage, it is far more palatable and nutritious and much less wasteful than feeding it dry KNOX Miss Aldine Rowe, a student at rion State Normal, was a week-end guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Rowe. Mos.
