it crumbles in the hand, thoroughly spade or 
plow it, turn it over and loosen it to a depth 
of at least nine inches. Do away with all lumpi-

are to be grown on the same soil during the 
season.

Plant your garden in straight rows running 
north and south if possible. ‘To make the rows 
straight and even, mark them with heavy

at which the vegetables will do their best.

practical—radishes, lettuce, carrots, young
