Cass County Farm and Home Booster Day, to be held March 18, at Weeping Water promises to be a busy day for Extension workers, and for the 4-H club livestock feeders. The two pro grams have been combined this year, and the name changed Start Spading Garden as Soon as Soil Crumbles If you want your garden plot to be well prepared, spade it yourself. Weeks may slip by waiting for a plowman to do a job which, by the proper approach, can be reduced to enjoyable and beneficial exer cise. The secret is to take it easy. Spading is not hard work if done a little at a time. A space 30x50 feet can be spaded in a leisurely way in eight hours. One hour a day for eight days, and the job is done. But first, be sure the soil is in condition to spade. Never work soil which is too wet: and if the soil is heavy, don't wait until it has become too dry. There is a point between extremes when even heavy clay can easilly be lifted, and will crumble under a blow from the spade. You can tell this point by using the "mud pie'' test. Mould a ball of earth in your hand, and pat it to make a mud pie. If the pie holds together, the soil is too wet to spade. If it crum bles, then you can go ahead. Systematic spading makes the job easier, and more complete. Here is one way to do it: Set a defi nite task for your first day's work, say a strip six feet wide, running the shortest dimension of the gar den. At one end dig a ditch, say one loot wide and the depth of the spade, removing all soil from it. Pile this soil near the opposite end of the strip. Now Itegin to spade with the blade not parallel to the trench, but at right angles to it. This en ables you to lift the soil more easily, and deposit it in the trench. The spade should be driven down, not on a slant, but perpendicularly to its full depth. Take a smail slice cf the soil so your back is not strained. Lift it up, turn the spade over, so that the top soil falls underneath and bottom soil on top. In filling the first trench, you have opened a second. If you wish to spade under ma nure, spread it evenly over the area, except for the top of your initial trench. When this first trench has been dug, clean the manure from the top of the next trench and throw it into the bottom of the from Feeders Day, to Cass County Farm and Home Booster Day. This may cause some con fusion at this first meeting of the two organizations. Ed Jan ike, the new 4-H club leader, will be here, and will speak at 11 o'clock. Something new in the way of a lunch will be serv ed. It will be a pancake lunch Just add sausage and coffee to that and doesn't that sound good? At 1 o'clock, E. T. John son, of Fremont, will tell about his European trip, then the men and women will hold sep arate afternoon meetings. Weeping Water Welfare club met Monday afternoon at the Methodist church, with Mrs. I. L. Markland, Mrs. Henry Chris tensen, Mrs. Vernon Duwe, nd Mrs. Ralph Keckler as ho:,L esses. The fine spring weather brought out a large crowd of helpers, and the afternoon was spent with comfort tying and the piecing of quilt blocks.
