by mixing thoroughly with the soil in each a shovelful of 
well-rotted manure, or, better still, plant on land that a 
crop has been taken off from, ~— 
which was heavily manured 
for that crop. Plenty of 
water is the most important 
point, except for earliest, 
where the temperature must 
be looked to as well as the 
watering. A sprinkling of 
dry plaster will keep off the | 
striped bug. Forearliest use |\\\|\\
