Preparing Th _ of Oince of Information, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. WASHINGTON. D. C.. April ?. The Boil that is to be used for vege tables should be thoroughly prepared before planting. A deep seed bed is desirable, and when an area that has never been plowed more thsn 4 inches deep must be used it should be deep ened by gradually increasing the depth of plowing for a period of three or four years until the desired depth Ls sttatned. Clay soil should be plowed- in thc fall if there ls no danger of wash- , lng. sn as to get it in a good mechan ical condition before planting time. In the cooler regions of the South freeling will pulverise Ute soil, which ? in regions where freezes do not occur ( the pulverizing must.be done by har- i rowing and cultivation. Sandy loams ; or soils that contain a large amount ? of humus should be plowed far | enough in advance to allow the soil., lo settle before planting. I, Thorough preparation by plowing, ? harrowing, rolling, or dragging will j] lessen the work of cultivation. It Is not sufficient to smooth and level the surface; the pulverising should ex tend down several Inches. Manares add FeraUsers. 1 The soil for vegetable growing should be rich and well supplied with humus. Barnyard or atable manure ls tho best fertilizer, because it fur nishes both plant food and humus. An application ot 20 to SO tons of manure to tho acre Is very 'satisfac tory, and on some soils this applica tion will need but . little reinforcing with commercial fertilizers. The ma-j nure should be applied far enough' In advance of planting time to allow j it to decay. Where coarse manure is used, it should be applied in the fall and turned under, but well-rotted ma ure should be applied after plowing and should be well mixed with the poll .by harrowing. On many soils it ls advisable to apply commercial ferti lizer. especially phosphate, lu addi tion to the manure. An application of 300 to 600 pounds of acid phosphate to the acre will be sufficient. Sandy soils often need a little additional pot ash, which can be applied economical ly In the form of aurlate or sulphate of potash at the rate of SOO to 400 pounds to *'uo acre. Aa application of 100 poum> of nitre te of soda willi give the planta a start In'the spring before the nitrogen ta the manure has become available. Where manure is not ' available, some leguminous crop, such as cow peas, soy beana, vetch, or crimsbu clover, should be turned under to sup ply humus and a part of the nitro gen. Additional fertilizing elements caa be applied in the form pt com* merdai fertilizers. Ko def taite rule eaa be given for the hind or quanti ty ot fertiliser te he applied, as this varies with the crt* and soil. In most cages lt is safe to apply 1,000 to 2.000 pounds ot a high-grade fer tiliser to the acre. OM* analysing 2 | ************* r SPARKLETS * _ ?

Will Ask tor ? j Sewer Extension. Messrs Q. Frank Johnson and John W.

This portion of Main street will have to be equipped with sewer linos before it eau be paved, so it is piobable that councl will decide to have the work done Cotton .lumped To ? l i t ents Here. There was considerable local Inter est yesterday lu thc fact that the price of cotton on the Anderdon market went to I? 1-'- cents. This is the high est price the staple haB reached since Hie outbreak of the European war last fall. It is generativ believed that the price of cotton will go to 10 cent j by thc first of thc summer.

Nardin was elect ed secretary Various other inviter.? of importance were transacted by thu board, principally among these being the adoption of a resolution calling on council not to erect a barn on thc city lot In the rear of the city hall but build lt somewhere on the outskirts J of the city. e Soil The Garden to 4 per cent "nitrogen, 8 per cont ! phosphoric acid, and 6 to 8 per cent potash should give good results if I the soil ls well supplied with humus. This fertilizer may be secured al ready prepared or may be mixed at home. The following combination will make a satisfactory fertilizer for a home garden and may be applied at, the rate of 1,000 to 2,000 pounds to pie acre. 160 pounds nitrate of soda. 660 pounds cotton seed meal. 1,000 pounds acid phosphate, 18 per | cent. 200 pounds muriate or sulphate of| potash. It should be borne in mind that commercial fertilizers will not pro-, due, satisfactory results unless the Boil is well supplied with humus. In ract. large quantities of : fertilisers are justified only where the soil ls In good mechanical condition. Many soils in the South that have been in cultivation for a long time are In a, poor mechanical condition and need humus, which can be supplied by turning under green crops of courue manure. ?
