Laying Off Rows. 
Straight rows add to the garden’s beauty and make garden- 
ing easier. Stretch a string between stakes and follow it with 
the point of a hoe to open up the row. 
Do not plant deep. The old rule is to plant to a depth of 
5 times the size of the seed. 
Hoeing. 
When you can see the green rows it is time to start hoeing. 
Never hoe deeply—1 inch deep is enough—but hoe frequently,

and always after rain or watering as soon as the ground is dry 
enough, 
Frequent hoeing makes a dust layer that prevents the soil 
underneath from drying out. 
Sprinkling. 
Rain water is the best moisture for the garden because it 
contains ammonia, which fertilizes. The dust cover will protect 
this rain moisture in normal seasons. 
If sprinkling must be done, it is better to soak the ground 
once a week than to sprinkle every day.

A garden writer in the New York Herald says: 
‘“Cultivation as soon as the plants are large enough may be 
done with the hoe or with a small cultivator, which it is easy 
to run between the rows. This will not only keep the weeds 
down, but will prevent the moisture from escaping. 
‘*Children must learn to cope. with insects and pests in the 
garden. They will find it interesting to circumvent them. The 
evut worm must have a nice meal of bran, sugar and Paris green 
provided for him and tobacco dust must be powered over the 
plants that have the little green aphis. Children will learn to 
look for the eggs and destroy them, which is one of the best 
ways of preventing trouble.’’
