month or so. 1 kuow of notliiug you 

 can put on the ground to kill the grass, 

 but what would render it unfit for any 

 other crop. It might take a whole 

 season to rid the ground of this grass 

 by plowing, but it is the only means 

 I can suggest at this time. 



Asters like a fairly rich soil, but 

 do not like fresh manure. The time 

 to manure land for asters is in the fall, 

 before you give it the fall plowing. 

 Then by spring the manure is pretty 

 well rotted and the spring })lowing will 

 thoroughly mix it with the soil. If you 

 think the soil is not rich enough, I 

 would advise using the pulverized sheep 

 manure in preference to the stable 

 manure. I doubt whether the bone 

 would be of any benefit whatever. If 

 the soil is not actually poor, the best 

 thing you can do is to give it a good 

 dressing of slaked lime. A])ply it after 

 you plow the ground and then harrow 

 it in. A. F. ,T. B.
