The more thorough the prepa ration of the soil in the garden plot the easier it will be to take care of the crops during the grow ing season. 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 soil 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. 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 sugh as Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, snap beate, tomatoes, watermelons, cabbage, mustard, and corn are quite tolerant of acid soils. On the other hand, such as aspara . gus, spinach, muskmelon, lettuce, celery, onions, beets, chard, cauli flower, and New Zealand spinach are not tolerant of ackfsoils and the soil should be brought up to a pH of 6 for these crops. How deep should seed be plant ed? That Is determined by several factors, of which the most Impor tant are sl2e 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 fouv times the diameter of the seed. That might not always be1 an ac curate measure, but.it is along the right direction. For instance, beans are usually planted from 1 to 1 1-2 Inches deep, while turnips are planted about 1-4 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 tile spring or fall when the soli Is cold. In any case see that the soil is firmed over the seed. The back of a rake is a good tool for this job. If firms the^soll without pack ing the surface. No! No!

According to H. A. Johnson, Cumberland Negro farm agent Tor the State College Extension Service, the Rowan variety will be seeded alongside Kobe lespedeza in the same field. The cultural practices for the two varieties will be the same. A small area of each plot will be cut for hay and weighed sepa rately, to obtain comparisons on yield. Seed will be harvested from the Rowan variety in case it out yields the Kobe. A complete check will be made of the two varieties during the growing and harvesting period. Phair says foe is very much in terested in the demonstration, since foe is planning a gradual change' in system of farming. At present he is concentrating on row crops, with cotton being his main. source of income and tobac co second. He intends to increase his hay and pasture production so a large number of animal units can be fed out on the farm.
