Manure or cover crops should be well turned and cut into the soil. The plowing should not be done when the soil is too wet, especially in clay soils, or the soils may be "cloddy” for the rest of the season. As . fine a seed bed as possible should be prepared for the sowing of small seeds. GARDEN TIME Most vegetables do best in a soil reaction which is slightly acid— a pH of 6.5. If your soil is lower than a pH 6, enough lime should be added to bring it up to that point. Crops such as Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, snap beans, toma toes, watermelons, cabbage, mus tard, and com are quite tolerant of acid soils. On the other hand, such crops as asparagus, spinach, muskmelon, lettuce, celery, onions, beets, chard, cauliflower, and New Zealand spjnach are not tolerant of acid soils and the soils should be brought up to a pH of 6 for these crops.

That is determined by several factors, of which the most import ant are size of seed, type of soil, moisture in the soil, and tempera ture or time of the year. It is sometimes said that seed should be planted to a depth of four times the diameter of the seed. That might not always be an ac curate measure, but it is along the right direction. For instance, beans are usually planted from 1 to 1% inches deep, while turnips are planted about % inch deep. In clay soils seed should not be planted as deep as' in sandy soils: In dry soils seed should be plant ed deeper than in moist soils. Lastly, in the summer when the soil is warm, seed may be planted deeper than in the spring or fall when the soil is cold.

OoME NATIONS COULDn’t. And there are people in this country who are trying to push America down the same road. They don’t speak out for socialism openly — they know most Americans don’t want it. Instead, they give persuasive reasons for the steps that lead to socialism. There’s one clue that will help you recognize this hidden socialism. It’s the old line: “Let the federal government do it —or run it —or take it over —or own and operate it.” When you hear that, look out. For the more things the federal government runs, the closer we are to sociaUsm —whether we want it or not —and the fewer rights and freedoms we have left for ourselves.
