breaking up the lumps, leaving the sur- 
face level with the contour of the land.

row of lettuce. Measure each side care- 
fully, run the line across and make a mark 
or furrow about one-half inch deep and 
sow the seed one to two inches apart. 
Cover with fine soil one-fourth inch and 
press down with the back of the hoe.

feet from south end), one row of beets. 
Make a furrow or mark one inch deep and 
sow the seed one to two inches apart. 
Cover with fine soil three-fourths of an 
inch and make it firm over the seed. 
Plant, one foot north of beets (five feet 
from south end), one row of radishes.
