AMERICA TOURS 0i ' Feeding Cuts and Betters Crop Quality Xtf H! Mf VIS Chemical Plant Food Is Quickly Available to Plants When Applied in Trench on Each Side of Row. Next to improved plants, such as hybrid corn, credit for the huge increase in food production during the war, and since, is given by agricultural scientists to the in creased use of plant food. By feeding their flowers and vegetables adequately, home gar deners can not only enjoy increased yields, and higher quality, but can reduce substantially the work in volved in gardening'. Expense of feeding plants remains practically at its prewar figure. To get the most out of plant food, the following methods of applica tion are recommended by V. A. Tiedjens, director of the Virginia Truck experiment station, Norfolk, Va. 1. On soils which are acid, test ing below pH6, plant food should be concentrated in bands or pock ets, not touching plant roots but within easy reach. 2. On sweet soils, testing above pH6, spade plant food thoroughly into the soil, evenly and deeply. If you are in doubt about the acidity of your garden soil, use the first method, especially if the soil contains considerable clay. To ap ply, stretch the line to mark the row- in which seeds are to be plant ed. Then not less than two inches away cn either side, make a fur-i-f-w fov.r inches deep. Pour plant fc d into each furrow at the rate Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Anderson and family were Sunday dinner guests of Mrs. Lillian Proctor. Mr. and Mr.?.

The standard application of a bal anced plant food is 4 pounds per 100 square feet (a space 10x10 feet square). You may figure one pound per pint, so an area 10 by 10 ft. requires two quarts. One quart will feed 50 square feet and one pint 25 square feet. Where smaller quantities are re quired, use a rounded tablespoon per square foot. For convenience, here is a table showing some com mon areas and the standard bal anced plant food application for each: 5' x 5' equals 25 sq. ft. requires 1 lb. (or 1 pint). 5' x 10' equals 50 sq. ft. requires 2 lbs. (or 1 quart).

For plants which are not grown in rows,' spread the correct amount of plant food evenly over the area and spade it under; or in cases where spading is not advisable, lest neighboring roots be disturbed, rake the plant food into the top soil.
