A POOR CROP OF LETTUCE. 



[OoDcluded from page 82 ] 



you to change the soil again at this time 

 of year, unless you have a pile outside 

 prepared for next year. So the only 

 thing to do is to try to get that soil in 

 better shape. Lettuce likes a sandy, loose 

 soil, and I often add sand to the soil 

 when mixing it if it seems heavy. You 

 could get yours in better shape by spread- 

 ing a layer of sand over the beds and 

 mixing it in well with a good spading 

 over. Then it would be well to put on a 

 liberal coat of manure anjj turn it again, 

 thus mixing it and loosening it thor- 

 oughly. If manure is not plentiful 

 enough so that you can put on a good 

 coating of it, some nitrate of soda would 

 be good, but it is quite strong and should 

 be sowed thinly, scattering it evenly, as 

 if sowing grass seed. 



If you fail to get good results after 

 changing the soil in this way, you had 

 better grow vegetable plants for spring 

 sales or some other spring crop, but get . 

 a good pile of soil ready as soon as pos- 

 sible, to be used next year. 



I would advise you to go at it quite dif- 

 ferently next time. If your soil is sandy, 

 you need not add more sand, but if not 

 sandy, buy some to mix in. Select good, 

 black, soft, fresh soil. To every three 

 loads of soil which you haul up, put on a 

 half load of sand and a load of good, 

 fresh manure, and let it stay buried in 

 the pile, to rot where its strength will not 

 evaporate or wash away. Turn the pile 

 over at least once in the summer. More 

 than the above-stated amounts of both 

 manure and sand would be beneficial, but 

 it is far better to have the manure put in 

 the soil several weeks or months before 

 needed and use none at the time of re- 

 filling the beds. All you have to do then 

 is to put in the soil and level it off for 

 planting. H. G.
