PREPARING 
THE GARDEN SOIL 
Ploughing or mechanical tilling is your 
first step in land and garden preparation: 
Chemical brush killer and weed killer treat- 
ments should precede ploughing. Then the 
pests will not be coming up through your lawn 
or flower bed later. 
Before ploughing or tilling, peat, compost, 
or barnyard manure or other organic mate- 
rial should be spread over the surface, to be 
turned under and worked into the texture 
of the soil. Where raw sawdust or similar 
organic material is used, add Morcrop ferti- 
lizer to speed decomposition. 
Spread fresh manures in the fall or winter, 
and spade under in spring. Morcrop should 
be spaded in a little before planting is done. 
If no manure is used, cover surface area with 
a layer of peat before spreading, thus adding 
humus continually to the soil as well as the 
necessary plant foods. 
Ploughing is not an annual necessity, but 
SPADING, and TILLING or MULCHING is. 
Spade when soil is dry enough so that a 
handful of it squeezed into a ball and 
dropped from shoulder height will shatter 
easily. If it is too wet—wait. If too dry, put 
the sprinkler on it until it is wet enough to 
work. Dig full spade depth, but don’t take 
bigger bites than you can handle easily. 
Drop from hip height to shatter, instead of 
beating each spadeful to fragments. It saves 
energy and covers ground faster. 
LEVEL BED WITH RAKE. Pitch excess clods 
into the compost heap to break down into 
compost, or let them dry in a pile and water 
them until they break down easly, or leave 
a trench at one edge of bed to rake clods 
into and smooth top over.
