Muklif a Kirw lU.
In tnr buck ysrd I have a strip of
arrmind. 50 feet. -her for t"o years I
have tried to nrrow a few radish", etc.,
without wnrxmr. Thla land ta what I
should pail poor, being- pro ha My what
waa du out of the cellar whan th
houaa waa bnllt, and later leveled off to
make the jr,rJ. 1 have tried practlcaJlr
all of tba small veiretaMea, and either
through limoranre on my part, or eome
cher condition, avarythln arrow to topa;
fin topa, but that wii all. I never saw
uch rioa cucumber vtnea a I had laat
year. Suddenly they yellowed and died.
Pomatoea are tha only plant I received
any return from at all. and they were
not what ther ahould have bean. I would
Ilka to know when and how to fit thla
oil. what fertiliser to uae (It would
eceaaarlly hava to be a commercial fer
tiliser) and how much; when and what
-ariety of veavrtablea to plant, and how
to plant them T P. B. M.
In thla little plot of 300 square feet you
hava tha trig problem of how to build up
a waata and sterile anil. Tha chances
ara that this 1 largely subsoil thrown
nut of tha cellar and mixed with tha rub
bish. No doubt It Is soar and with Uttle
r organle matter; probably baklna;
hard la time of drouth. A good an II will
jrrra up Its plant food under proper col
tnre, but this Is really not soil at all,
and about an you oan do until you can
fit It la to put plsnt food ta so that your
crops can taka It out. You must In
snme way fill that land with organla
matter. If time were no object you oould
el thla by sowing turnips, working them
tnder In Jena, sowing buckwheat, follow-
Inn this by rye, and ao on until Uils de
caying organic matter mad anil out of
this waste. You want cropa at once, and
ao you must work differently. Arrange
to get at some stable about no pounds
of fine, well-rotted manure. Ppread this
evenly over the plot and spade It care
fully In, so aa to hare tba manure mixed
all through tha upper surface. Then get
twenty-five pounds of slaked lima and
sratter It evenly over tha spaded soli.
Rake this thoroughly In so as to get It
out of sight. This Is to sweeten tha soil
and fill It with organle matter, and hav
ing done this you hava started your land
on the road to soil. Oet a small bag of
somo mixed fertiliser, designed for truck
or garden cropa, and uae ten pounds of
It raked in about a week after rslng tha
lima. .You may then go ahead and plant
your seeds and set out your plants. We
do not know whether this spot Is near a
fence and thus haa too much shad. It
ought to have sunshine, but If you follow
this plan your crops ought to grow, and
year by year with earefu Itraatment you
win com closer to garden solL Jt will
be better to train tha tomatoes up on
stake and thus hava room for tha
mailer vegetables. The garden must be
kept stirred with ho or rake, and wat
ered whan necessary. In brief, this Is the
way sterile soils are brought back. H
means Urn and organla matter the lat
ter added In the moat practical and sensi
ble way available.
