First Things to Do in Getting the |: Garden Ready. FEW TOOLS ARE NECESSARY Information on Digging, Planting, and Transplanting Which Will Help the Amateur to Get Started Right. (By & JOHNSTON, Vegetable Speciglist, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Jhe soil is the workshop in whioh is found many of the constituents which go to make up plant food. These foods .aust be so treated that they will be in such a condition that they may be rezdily taken up by the slender rootlets of the plant so that the slant will thrive and mature. It possible add some manure "to your soil and work it up well before | planting time. This manure may be obtained possibl from various sources close to your -home; livery stables or firms,dealing entirely with manure would be willing to supply it at a reasonable rate. On heavy soils it is particularly recommended that heavy applications be made in order that the soil will be of a much finer condition so that it will retain a large quantity of plant food. Many of the garden soils will be benefited by the application of lime. This may be secured from various sources such as the contractor and builder, lime and cement Sonlern: and may be in the form of fresh lime or even slaked lime. This lime should. be | scattered over the surface of the sojl after the digging has taken place, and a sufficient amount should be applied to make the surface of the ground fairly white, This should be gently raked into the soil just pre- vious to the planting of the seed. DIGGING. - It is necessary in all gardens that the soil be turned over at one time or another during the, early spring in order that it may be- come dry and fined. We find that ny of the troubles of the back- yard gardens are caused by digging: the'soil too early in the spring. One of the easiest ways to tell when the soil is ready for digging is to gather a handful and press the fingers over it. If the soil in the hand sets in a somewhat compact mass the time is not far enough advanced for som- If, however, the soil, falls apart into several small perfectly safé to dig. TOOLS. It !s unnecessary for the backyard gardener to purchase many tools for this first garden. Those who have béen growing vegetables in their backyard for a number of years gradually add to their supply until after three or four years they have accumulated many special tools which are suited for particular oper- ations in the garden. Complaints are sogietition hedrd that the expense , ry 'to commence a backyard garden is very great. "Many very good backyard gardens have . been made and excellent harvests obtain- (ed 'with very few and comparatively inexpensive tools. A digging fork or spade, a rake, and.a hoe are about all the tools essential at the outset, and these are inexpensive. PLANTING OF SEEDS. When it has been determined that the soil is suitable for digging and the weather is nice and warm, it is necessary that the seeds be planted in the garden. As fine a surface as possible should be secured, so that the little seeds will quickly germipate and grow. To sow the seeds quickly, evenly, and thinly. requires considerable practice andfcare. The row may be made straight by stretching fairly tight a piece of string from one portion of the garden to another and using this as a guide for making the trenches or drills for placing the seeds in. After the seeds have been dropped in they should at once be covered with soil by gently drawing some of the loose piece of stick or with the hands. This soil should, however, ndt be heaped up over the row but should be placed evenly with the rest of the garden soil and packed down. o THINNING. Backyard gardeners should not attempt to grow immense quantities at first. It is necessary to plant 'sufficient seed to secure a good crop of plants, the more slender plants being thinned out soon after they are above ground so as to assure reasonable room for a good crop of healthier plants. The hing shonld be commenced when' the plants are from one to two inches in height and should not be left' until the plants' bave become long and slen , if they are left one plant simply tries to smother another one out; Ww it they are thin- ned to the proper distance they will have room to grow to their required sive of maturity.
