“Dear Henry: 
pleased with the tulips we are ordering 
as we were with the sweet peas we got

bors. He loves flowers almost as much 
as riding on the merry-go-round.’’—Joe

time of setting. I am greatly pleased with 
it.’—Dr, Janie L. Keeter, Fort Werth, Texas.

Mud Pie Test 
How can a person tell when it is safe 
to spade for a spring garden? Here isa 
simple answer. . Let’s call it a mud-pie 
test and who hasn’t made a mud pie at 
one time or another. Pick up a handful 
of soil and pat it between your palms 
as you used=to do in childhood; if it 
holds together and makes a nice mud- 
pie, then it is too wet to spade. Don’t 
tramp on soil when in this stage. 
When soil crumbles, it is best to spade 
for easy work and best results. It is not 
dry, but slightly moist, yet not wet 
enough to hold together in a mud-pie. 
In this condition, spade at once—the 
quicker the better. Hang this sign on 
he spade, “‘Don’t use till soil will crum- 
eur 
In Spite of Conditions

for 2 bu. Hybrid seed corn. I can certainly

Ben F, StahIman, Saint Clair, Missouri.
