HINTS FOR ALLOTMENT HOLDERS.
HINTS FOR ALLOTMENT HOLDERS. BY SPADE-WORKER. GETTING THE GROUND READY. I I have had numerous questions lately from readers who have only a moderate depth of soil to deal with, say, from Sin. to lOin. underneath that is clay or very clayey loam. They are in doubt as to the correct method, of procedure. It is obvious to those who have had any experience in J vegetable cultivation that first-class crops cannot be obtained from shallow land, and means ought to be taken to increase the depth of fertile soil. This is best accom- 1 plished by the method known as half-! trenching or bastard trenching. Perhaps I should say that it is most conveniently ac- complished by this practice, for the man' who is considered to be the grower of the finest vegetables in the country makes a point of trenching even newly-broken ground. The clayey subsoil is brought to I the top and the upper layer is put from 2ft. to 3ft. down. The subsoil is very in- ferior stuff, but he finds that if it is ex- posed to the weather for a few months and heavily dressed with lime it will grow good crops the first season. I can endorse this opinion, for I carried out similar work last year. The advantage in subsequent seasons is that one has fertile soil to the depth of nearly 3ft. But, for ordinary purposes, half-trenching answers the purpose; it takes a long time to trench land fully Bastard, or half-trenching, is carried out in the following way: Take out a trench 2ft. wide and the depth of the spade, or one "spit." Wheel this soil to the end of the plot where the work will finish; it will be used to fill the last trench. Dig over the second spit or layer of the first trench, and. mix some manure, vegetable refuse, or leaves with it. Turn the top spit of the next lot of soil into the first trench, thus filling it and opening the second trench. The bottom of this is dug over and manured and itself is filled with the soil dug out to open the third trench. And so on to the end of the plot: This work is so important now, and many do not seem to know how it is done; therefore, I make no apology for referring to it again. PRIZEWINNING HINTS. One of this week's prizes, "1,000 Garden- ing Hints," is awarded to Mr. W. H. Cowell for his note and sketch telling and showing us how to make a useful tool for drawing seed drills: "As most allotment- holders find the work on their plots during the seed-sowing months rather a rush, especially during these times of limited leisure, any device for reducing the labour is sure to be welcomed. One of the tasks which occupies considerable time is drawing the drills in the prepared seed beds for onions, beet, carrots, parsnips, etc. This work is, however, quickly done by means of the seed-drill shown herewith. A home-made tool for making seed- drills. It is not necessary to keep to the exact dimensions given, but at least lOin. should be the space between the peg^, and the latter should be blunt ra+her than too pointed. To use the drill it is only necessary to stretch the line across the garden once for any number of drills, as the last one drawn can always be used as a guide for succeediag ones. Another excellent little device is described and illustrated by Mr. Watkins; it tells how a useful garden rake can be made very cheaply. He is awarded a prize of Garden- ing: A Complete Guide." Mr. Watkins writes: "I am sending a hint and sketch describing and illustrating a very service- able rake. It is made out of a piece of wood and nine nails (thick ones). It is very easily made by anyone. I Useful rake made with piece of wood and nine nails. The top is attached to tlie bottom piece by two screws,.so that if you want to change the nails at any time that is very easily done; it also holds the nails in position firmly. SEASONABLE ADVICE. If such boxes of soil are available, or flower-pots can be used, seeds may now be sown of broad bean, early peas and onion. The seedlings will be ready for transplanting in the open garden in April, and if the seeds are sown thinly, sturdy, healthy plants will be obtained by that time. Ad- vice is already given to plant sfcallots, potato onions, Jerusalem artichokes, etc. but, personally, I shall wait until early: February before I put anything in the ground. As the years pass I am oJ ore cer- tain that nothing is gamed, and incch may be lost, by planting when the ground i« cold and sodden. But there is every reason why you should order roots, bulbs, and seeds without delay. There will be a bipger demand than ever this spring for vegetable roots and seeds, and especially for si allots, onion sets, or small bulbs, potato onions, and potatoes, and I strongly advise all readers of this column to send off their orders as soon as possible. Stocks of some things are short, and those who delay will be left lamenting. PRIZE COMPETITION FOR ALLOT- MENT HOLDERS. Owing to the great interest which has been created by this column, I have decided to present two prizes weekly to readers sending in the best allotment hint or recipe. This week the prizes will consist of useful gardening books. All entries for this com- petition must be addressed "Spadeworker," care of Editor of this paper. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. A. G.—I should advise bastard-trenching the ground; by this means the upper spit'' or layer is transposed, and the second layer is broken up but left in the same position. If possible you should mix manure with the second spit of soil; if yard or stable manure 1 cannot be 'obtained, use leaves or garden rubbish. You will never grow good vege- tables in your soil unless you break it up to a greater depth. I Perplexed.—To obtain legal advice you ) must consult a solicitor, but I believe the law is that one is not allowed to remove, without the landlord's consent, any peren- nial plant or shrub that is established in the soil. My belief is that the tenant has no right to remove any perennials, whether trees, vegetables, or flowering plants, unless the owner consents.

Y Golofn Amaethyddoh CYNYDD ETO. Bu y tywydd gan ddryced ag oedd yn bosibl at waitli fferm yn ystod y dyddiau diweddaf. Er hynny mae cynydd calonog yn cael ei wneyd mewn aredig tir glas er cyfarfod ang- henion y Llywodraeth erbyn y tymor dyfodol. Llesteinwyd y gwaith mewn amryw siroedd oherwydd rhew ac eira, ond yn Swydd Cernyw lie yr oedd pedair mil a'r bymtheg o aceri dan wenith yn 1917 yr oedd dros ddwy fil a deugain 10 aoeri wedi eu hau dan wenith dcli- wedd Tachwedd. a thros naw mil yn ychwan- egol yn cael eu darparu tuag at hynny. Rhydd hyn lawn ddwy fil o aceri dros ben yr byn t ofynid gan y Llywodraeth. Yn Swydd Glos- J ter arddwyd eisoes hanner yr hyn ddisgwylir, ac yn Swydd Wilts, rywbeh tebyg. Yn y swydd hon mae deg o ferched yn gyrru trac- tors aredig. Mae tiroedd anwastad Cymru yn anghymwys i'w haredig gyda tractor ond mewn vchydig ardaloedd. Yn Lloegr gwnelr defnydd helaeth o honynt. Yr wythnos ddi- weddaf arddwyd gyda modur "can acer yn Swydd Lancaster, 170 yn Swydd Gaer, tra. yr arddwyd eisoes 2,311 o aceri yn Swydd Dur. ham HAD YD TATWS. Mae amryw siroedd yn araf i drefnu yn effeithiol gyflenwad digonol o hadyd tatws cy- faddas at y tymor nesaf. Mewn rhai siroedd ymgymerir ar holl drefniant gan y Pwyllgor Amaethyddol. Mewn siroedd eraill gwneir y gwaith trwy fasnachwyr lleol. Mewn siroedd eraill drachefn gweith- redir drwy y Cynghorau Trefol a PhlwVfol, ynsfhyda Chymdaithasau o Ardd- wyr a Rhanddalwyr. Cwynid llawer y llynedd oherwydd i'r hadyd gyrraedd yn ddiweddar. Yr unig ffordd i osgoi hyn eleni fydd i bawb roddi archeb i mewn yn ddioed, ac os nad oes gwybodaeth am unryw drefniant lleol neu sirol ysgrifenner at Ysgrifennydd y Pwyllgor Sirol, neu at y Food Production Department, 72, Victoria-street, London, S.W. 1.

Lie tvfir tatws, mangolds, cabbage ac yd ar dir- oedd wedi eu gweithio allan oherwydd cyn- yrchu cnydau yd o'r blaen, dylid defnyddio suiphate o ammonia, ond yn gyffredin nid yw swedes a maip yn rhoddi cynyrch digonol i at- dalu'r draul.

J TREATMENT OF FRUIT TREES. Fruit trees in small gardens are often allowed Fruit trees in small gardens are often allowed to tall into a neglected condition and in conse- quence much fruit is lost. A great deal may however be done to get the best out of these trees. In the first place during the present month and February, all dead, dying and diseased wood should be cut out and biirnt. The work can be done when other garden opera- tions are impracticable and many fungus and insect pests will be destroyed. Next when the trees are overgrown with moss and lichen, pre- parations should b3 made for spraving either with a caustic winter wash or with lime wash. Caustic soda required for making the former wash is scarce, and except in the worst cases preference should be given to .itrc wash which may be applied at any time up to about a week before the blossoms open. Lime wash is a good cleansing wash and, if not anplied too early, it checks effectively such nests as the plunl aphis, apple aphides and sucker. ¡

A SERIOUS TALK ON A 1IUnu SUBJECT When getting over a cold, fever, or illness of any kind, be careful to guard your kidneys against a breakdown. Everj day thousands are recovering from cue disease Oi* another, and it's while "convalescing" that great care is needed to avoid falling into the clutches of kidney trouble. The kidneys, when in health, are the hardest worked organs in the body. No wonder that when the blood is loaded with urvc acid poisons and the work of the kidneys is ioubled, that they break down. Kidney weaknuss follows as naturally as night the day. '< After influenza, pneumonia, fevtrs and even ordinary colds, watch for kidney trouble, and don't neglect such signs as backache, headache, dizziness, nervous trouble and that dull, tired feeling, no matter how unimportant they appear to you. Your kidneys will need help foi a while. There is nothing more soothing, nothing better than Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. This medicine is for the kidneys and bladder only, and has no action on the bowels. With the temporary assistance of Doan's Pills, care as to diet, more rest and sleep and exercise in the open air, you can soon get back to normal.

Poultry. .--,
Poultry. POULTRY POINTERS. The poultry keeper has many difficulties to contend with just now, and one of these is the trouble to get food. In my last notes I mentioned this subject, but now to return again because the Food Controller has been on our track once more. The latest move i$ that poultry must not be given oats and maize as a separate grain the one being wanted for horse feed and the other for meal to be partly used for human consumption and the rest will come in for stock feeding. We all know the difficulty in shipping any corn just now and the loss of many ships will make it still harder to get all we need, so it means making the best of the position. But the point is that while maize and oats are pro- hibited they can be used to make up a mix- ture which is allowed for poultry. One sample lately which I had through my hands consisted largely of maize with a few oats, a little wheat and barley and odd bits of straw which would be gathered when sifting the grades of corn. All of the grain with the exception of maize is of poor quality and could not be caJled good hdrse feed or grinding sort. There was some whole maize of the big flat sort, some were just cracked and then some had been flaked. Of course with such a mixture there was a good deal of dast. which if fed to fowls on the floor or amongst litter would be entirely lost. There was a fair amount of flint grit put in to make weight which would Cheapen the mixture. The only way to give such a food is in troughs, so that the birds cannot rake it all out, then they will eat the whole of it, but to use it as a scratch feed would be to waste a good deal. Those who have followed my notes will ie- member that I have for ever advocated a cooked food and in using this tnixture. would be far better to boil it so that the grain swelled up to its fullest size and then if soft it could be dried off with middlings and given in troughs. Anbther way would be to sift it and take out all the small stuff and dust and then use the rest as a scratching food and the dusty part as a meal for the soft mash We are asked to produce all the ee^s possible because they are badly needed in the hospitals and convalescent homes bv our soldiers and yet we are to be restricted as to what food we can use. But eggs cannot be raised unless suitable food be used, for the birds need something more than to be just kept alive. i„Th<L p°JU'try1 keePer should be always look- ng ahead and some of them I know have secured some amount of grain and this has been stored. The method was to watch the farm stacks and when thrashing was started, to buy the whole of the tailings, and this can be done by watching where there are corn stacks and then interviewing the farmer before he begins. Cash will work Takl n T,!th many, and if th°y know you can take all their surplus corn at market rates and pay cash on delivery it will considerablv help matters and you can have a supply for weeks, perhaps months. There is another bit of work which must not be neglected and that is the mating of one rna Pens. In face of the food scafcity one may be inclined to hold back, but chicken raisers are to have a supply based upon the amount required m previous years, si thai this should not deter anyone from hatching wJGTng f 7 dlicks A few breeders I do ,not, lr\tenfl to begin to hatch till March or Apnl, but this would be rather late for all the stock and those who have th* roorn will nnd :t pay to get the first ven-- mated and sOme chickens out a* soon as nos- vmleii M n6ed early e"gs and unIes,? hiA w +l? PUf might be ,eft without, bub with a few February chicks, they should come in and continue the supply through the autumn when the hens'stop laying There are many di.nculties ahead but most of tb troubles can be met when we come to them, but it. is better if the worst are anticipated and preparations made to meet them.

TREGARON FOOL CONTROL COMMITTEE.
TREGARON FOOL CONTROL COMMITTEE. The Committee i: ;t on Tuesday; present Mr D. Thomas, Tregaron (chaitman), Messrs D. J. Davies, Ysbytty Ystwyth; E. Evans, Lledrod; D. Jenkins, Bont; Daniel Jenkins, Llangeitho; and Mr. D. J. Jenkins, executive officer. Dis- cussion took place as to whether this Com- mitte or the District Council had power to appoint a coal committee.—The Chairman main- tained that it was a separate organization and no connection between coal and food.-On the proposition of Mr. D. J. Davies, it was resolved to defer consideration to see what steps the District Council would take.—With regard to granting priority' certificates for milk for p children invalids the Committee felt it un- necessary in rural districts.—The Order dealing with meat restrictions was considered, in which butchers were required to send in returns of the quantity of stock killed in October, under which they would be able to slaughter fifty per cent. in future. The Ministry of Food wrote saying that trav- elling expenses would be allowed members and that they would be reimbursed for time spent in attending meetings.
