BED FOR LETTUCE. 



Some time ago I purchased a small 

 house, on the floor of which is a let- 

 tuce bench one foot deep, five feet 

 wide and 100 feet long, built on a 

 slope, being two feet higher at one end. 

 Will a line of tile through the center 

 give it proper drainage? If so, how 

 deep ought I to put it? If this will 

 not work, could you give me a better 

 plan? C. D. J. 



A line of 3-inch tile laid a foot be- 

 low the bottom of your bed will give 

 ample drainage. If your land has a 

 subsoil of a sandy or gravelly nature, 

 there should be no need of any drain- 

 age. C. W. 



SOIL FOR TOMATOES. 



In one of my houses I have had 

 benches for seven or eight years. They 

 stand only three or four inches from 

 the ground. I wish to take them out 

 and grow tomatoes in the soil. Do you 

 think the soil under the benches has 

 become sour or unfit for plants? If 

 so, what treatment will be necessary to 

 restore it? Will it be rich enough with- 

 out fertilizing? A. L. H. 



The best plan would be to remove 

 the benches, give the soil below a thor- 

 ough spading, leave it rough and let 

 the sun have a chance to bake and 

 sweeten it. The soil will probably be 

 somewhat sour from constant drip and 

 lack of sun to dry and sweeten it. The 

 richness of the soil I could not well de- 

 termine. Why not try a few plants in 

 it and see how it suits them? The prob- 

 abilities are that your tomatoes would 

 do better if a good coating of well de- 

 cayed horse or cow manure could be 

 well mixed in the soil, or, failing that, 

 a dressing of pulverized sheep manure 

 and fine bone. C. W.
