How can I convert hard non-porous soil into good to bacco plant bed land? A. Efforts to change the con sistancy of your soil may not be desirable if suitable land Is available within five miles. However, there are several ways of improving the organic con tent and physical condition of soil for plant production. You can haul in dark rich loamy soil or woody dirt. You can in corporate three or four inches of well rotted sawdust with the upper four or five inches of soil in the fall so that it will be well rotted in the spring. Heavy stable manure can be mixed with the soil in the fall before treating with methyl bromide or other chemical for weed con trol. You can try krilium or other soil conditioners on a small scale at first. Grow a heavy stand of crotalaria on the site in the summer and disk it into the soil in early Sep tember. Or you can locate the bed near a disease free water supply so the surface of the soil can be kept tnoUt in dry weather. <JfcWS ARTIFIO .
