»♦♦♦♦♦'♦♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦! •> FINE POINTS IN + •> SPADING GARDEN LAND + > ♦ How to Do It So That the Home- + 4. Food Plot Will be a Success. + •P* + * + ***4 , * , l , *** + * Plowmen and teams are scarce around cities and the smaller garden plots can often be spaded to mii"h treater advantage than they can be ployed. Where there are a group of community gardens located on a clear olot cf ground, they can often be plow'd together, and thus considerable labor is saved. But the small garden plots, especially those in back yards, must be spaded. A considerable area can Ire spaded if the work is done a little at a time so that it does not become tiresome. A good job of spa IIng will always put the land in better condition than plowing, but there are h few points in connection with good spading that should be thoroughly un-der.-tood. United States department if agriculture specialists explain them hs follows: . In the first place, the land should never be turned when it is extremely wet. The plowman's test is to squeeze together a handful of freshly turned earth and if it sticks together in a hall with the imprint of the hand upon it. it is too wet for plowing or spading. But if it crumbles when the pressure is released, the soil may he considered dry enough to spade or plow. Second, do not turn the ’and up in large spadefuls. Begin at one side of the plot and w rk back and forth across the plot, maintaining line, cutting the soil in thin spadefuls and turning it completely over. If the soil doos not crumble readily, use ’he j edge of the spade and break up ouch •Ispadeful immediately after it is turn- ■ cd.’ For this work the ordinary 1, s<;uare-pointe.d spade is considered the ( most de irable on loose soils and on ' .’and that wits paded or plowed durt.ing the autumn, a four-tined spading fork is often preferable to a spade. 11 While the fork will not turn the hathorn soil to the surface quite as we]] as the spade, this complete turning is not desirable on hind that was plowed or spaded last fail and the fork leaves ' jthe soil in a more finely divided co.idi'jticn. The reniainir.g lumps that esf jcnrie breaking during the spading profjeess should be pulverized within rn p | hour or so after the land is turned *■ over. This can be clone either with a h steel rake or with a hoe. care being ? taken to go deeply nough into the soil >- to bleak up al clods that will interfere with planting. Thorough preparation of the soil i« the keynote to success in gardening. •Spade reasonable deep and loosen s the lower strata of soil without bringa ittg very much of the subsoil to the surface. The English gardeners spado I. two of three lengths of the spade in a depth, working manure info the aubb soil to a depth of twelve or fourteen ihclics. li,ill the work of e.illti'Vati.m o should i»' done before the seeds areplanted in the garden.
