Fall Preparation of the Backyard Garden In the ordinary backyard garden the work has to be done by hand labor, and, to have a successful gar- den, the land should be prepared in the fall. Toward the end of Ootober when the vegetable crops are harvested, the land ch' rid b« ..:rate!: of all re- fuse and all weeds that have seeded and . any diseased material burned, Divide the garden into twostrips. Take out a trench at one end, and place the earth when it will fill in the. last trench when completing the other half at the same end. Use a spade, a garden cannot be well dug with a fork, says J. Gallaher, Head Gardiner, Dominion Experimental Station, Kentville, N.S. Make the trench as deep as your garden soil will allow 12 to 24 inches is a good depth of soil 'for vegetables. In a few years' time if the following pra- ctice is applied any garden soil will attain this depth. Place a layer of, soil from she com- post heap or a layer'. of good hare- yard manure in the bottom el the trench, which may be sand, gravel or clay. Then with a leek dig this over, remembering that this will be brought to the top when digging the following October. On this, place the top soil from the next trench, turning it upside •down then place a layergood of barnyard ard manure 4 to 6 inches deep on top of this. Cover the manure with all bate soil from the bottom of the trench, and instead of levelling it on top. ridge it as if youwere snaking` -drills to plant pot- atoes. Fork over the bottom of the trench adding manure or composed soil, as already mentioned. Con- tinue in this 'way until garden is all turned over. By working say one hour each evening a person would dig over a garden of 1,000 square Feet in eight evenings. By ridging the soil instead of making it level, I the snow is held better and this means more fertilizer for your gard- en, for it is said that snow is the "poor man's: fertilizer". It will also . dry out earlier in the spring, that a few days can be gained in early seed sowing. The winter's wood ashes can be spread over the land, also a limited amount of soot from the chimney or furnace, but not coal ashes unless the land is a very heavy clay soil, when a limited amount may be used each year. The average garden may be given a dressing of lime every five or six years, 40 pounds to each 1,000 square feet.. In the spring when preparing for seeding or planting, fork over the garden from end to end and mixing the manure and soil well together, even, to forking• it over several times The manure, when well mixed with the soil, causes the plants to make 1 t�ew regulations have been issued er upon presentation of a certificate, by the Wartime Prices and Trade procured from the nearest local office Board in an effort to stop the sale of of the Wartime Prices and Trade, used cars at illegal prices, Effect- Board, may obtain a used car if he ive ,August 1, dealers are compelled is prepared to pay cash.

Harold McPhillips, prices and supply representative xesentative for Western Ontai'io,has announced that an order, now effective, permits farmers to. slaughter hogs for sale Without ob- taining a slaughtering permit. Also they may now sell pork without hay- ing it stamped; Suspension of meat rationing and the great increase in the number of hog producers have. made simplification of procedure possible, Mr. McPhillips said. • • Butter production' in Ontario din- ing July showed a decrease of 6 per cent from the figures for the same month in 1943, according to reports, of creamery instructors, it is an- nounced by C. E. Lacltner, Director of the Dairy Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. In some sections the drop in ,production due to extreme' dry, hot weather and there is stili an urgent need for rain- fall in these areas: During July many creameries took advantage of the permission given to pick up cream twice a week and in •these cases a decided improvement itt :quality was noted. In most parts of the Pro- vince the production decline' is ex- pected to continue in August. 'The Stratford creamery instructor. reports that a local creamery owner nleade rl guilty in Stratford Magist- rate's Y g rate's Court to three charges of is- suing cream statements to patrons which _did not correspond withthe creamery records, contrary to the Dairy Products Act regulations, and was .fined $25.00 and costs on ;each charge.
