To all you gardening new comers, and old-timers who may need a few reminders, the experts recommend selec tion of a plot which will get direct sunlight at least six hours a day. Choose land that is well drained, clean and rea sonably fertile. And, find a plot close enough home to see it almost every day. The experts say that what is lacking in fertility, can be added. But they warn new comers against trying to pro duce vegetables and flowers in a combination of subsoil, trash and rubble left behind by a builder's crew. Any soil that will grow a crop of grass or weeds can Lodge Prepares For Visit Here Of Californian x : Weatonka council of Poca hontas lodge, Medford, is pre paring for the annual yisit .of the great Pocahontas of Cali fornia.

Out Advice Newcomers be developed into a good gar den, they say. Before you plow or spade, clean away all the plant de bris, stones, anything that will interfere with working the soil. Don't plow or spade until the ground has dried. Work ing in wet soil packs it. To test for dryness, squeeze a handful of soil, and then break apart in your fingers. If the. dirt crumbles, it's ready to work. When you dig for the veg etable garden, don't turn up more than one inch or so of the subsoil. In most areas, garden t experts recommend spading eight to 10 inches in depth. And while getting ready to spade, you'll want to plan fof addition of lime and fertilizer. Lime improves the struc ture of some heavy soils, but too much may hurt garden crops Use lime only when a soil test shows it is necessary. As for fertilizer, use either manure or commercial prod ucts. On small gardens, the commercial fertilizers should be raked or harrowed into the top three to four inches of the soil, using about 50 to 60 pounds for a plot measuring 30 by 50 feet. f Initiation Set For Bethel Shady Cove - Bethel 56, In ternational Order of Job's Daughters, will hold formal initiation at a meeting set for Thursday, April 16, at -7:30 p.m. at VFW hall, Shady Cove.
