When the garden soil has been made ready in the spring, it is time to sow seed. This is a simple task but if carelessly performed it can result in serious losses, of seed, growing time and labor. Like you, seeds need air, water and food. These must be available in the top inch of garden soil to .^hich the first stages of their struggle for existence will be confmed. It is always a struggle, and seeds need your help to overcome the hazards which they encounter in getting a start in life. Seeds may drown if water stands too long over them because of poor drainage. When there are vacant spaces in low spots in a row, with otherwise a good stand, drowning is probably the cause. Water excludes oxygen from the soil and should never stand more than half an hour on the surface of the garden. A cold spell may delay germination, enabling moulds and fungi to attack the dormant seeds, to weaken or destroy them. This can be prevented by using a disinfectant such as spergon or arasan. Take as much of either as you can lift on the end of a toothpick, drop it into the seed packet and shake it well to coat the seed. Always do this when seeds are sown early, before the ground warms up, for diseases are most dangerous then. Sc ds may be sown too deep. Small seeds should be barely covered, even the large seeds not more than an inch. And the greatest hazard of all, as research with soil conditioners is proving, is the danger of being buried alive under a soil crust which seed sprouts cannot penetrate. If your garden contains clay, a hard rain may compact it sufficiently to imprison the seed. The tiny sprout often faces an impos-

If you have a compost pile, there is no better way that you can use the humus from it than in preparing a special soil with which to cover seed. This should be mixed with sand, half and half. In addition to making sure that the seed sprouts will be able to emerge, this loose soil will hold moisture and keep the soil beneath it from drying out. It is therefore especially desiral le in hot weather.
