VEGETABLE GARDEN ate TE FOR 
PREPARING THE SOIL, IRRIGATING, 
PLANTING AND THE SEED BED 
Preparation of the Soil. Fork eight inches deep, thor- 
oughly pulverize and level the ground. Heavy adobe soil 
should have manure or straw of any description worked 
into it three to four weeks 
before planting. Sandy loam 
needs barnyard manure. 
Irrigating. After the ground 
has been leveled, run par- 
allel furrows four inches 
deep across the land and 
wide enough to permit of 
easy cultivation. Then wet 
the ground thoroughly to a 
depth of 12 inches. As soon 
as the ground is dry enough 
to permit working in it, 
plant the seed along the 
edge of the furrows. The 
seed should germinate and 
show above ground in from 
four to fourteen days with- 
out more irrigation. After 
the ey Sppect irrigate 
as neede y running 
ROBERT G. FRASER water in the furrows, and

soon as it dries out enough 
to permit its being worked. Never allow the ground to 
bake after irrigation. This is worse than no irrigation at
