This cannot be obtained unless the land is in a fine state of tilth and well firmed. Deep ploughing is the first step preparing a piece of ground for tomatoes. Preferably, this should be done in the fall and particularly where tomatoes are to follow a clover or alfalfa sod. If the soil will permit the depth of ploughing should be eight inches. Some growers plough both in the fall and again in the spring. This is a splendid idea but in many cases the same effect can be the coutse ^jjj ne accomplished by two or three deep .

It is significant that only one of these is concerned primarily with the main plot of the play. Viola, who became first the Duke's page and tihen his wife, has been called "one of the most charming of Shakespeare's heroines, having most of their virtues and few of their defects." Viola had been reared in a cultur-happy and father discings. Following this with thorough deep cultivation, harrowing and rolling should with most soils provide a fine firm plant bed. Growers should remember that there is more to be gained by having the land in good shape than by starving for extreme early planting. A week earlier plantng may not mean a great deal if the land Is not ready. Planting Distances This is a controversial question.

Throughout the changes of fortune-that befall her she remains true to Not only is Viola true to herself;; she is loyal to her friends. She ia! unhappy at the beginning of the play; because she fears her brother has been drowned. Her joy at the end of the play is, in part, caused by the appearance of Sebastian, safe and sound. Her loyalty to the Duke is unquestioned. If any proof of it were needed, we need look no farther than the scene in which she tries to win Olivia's love for Orsino.

Having recalled these facts, we are the more impressed by her valour when we find that she actually draws her sword and prepares to fight Sir Andrew.

Viola is blessed with other virtues. She posesses a generous spirit that pletely ships and crews of the last Olivia's impetuous love from the too rude gaze of Malvolio. She is attractive enough to win Olivia's eye. She is strong enough to override Malvol-io's objections and force her way into Olivia's presence. And she is witty enough to match words with the Clown.
