To gardeners, eager to begin 'spring planting,
getting the garden ready is like the cleanup before the
party — necessary, but not nearly as nice as the
aftermath. . Nevertheless, some advance work has to
be done if you’re (o get maximum yield and pleasure
from the plot,
Begin, as we’ve mentioned before, with a soil test.
• Winter’s a good time to dig up a hunk of garden dirt,
.. ..bag it, and either test it yourself with a kit obtained
f bom the garden center or get it to tho county extension
agent or nearby state agricultural center. This is to
determine the pH factor, or sweet-sour condition, of
your soil. A pH scale runs from 0 (very acid) to 14
(yery sweet or alkaline) — thus 7 is neutral. You need
to know this, as maybe you’ll luck out and the soil will
be fine as is. If not, you’re in the fertilizer and/or lime
idarket.
If the soil is too acid, lime is necessary and can be
applied in the spring along with other needed
fertilizer. And it’s a good time to learn about and
understand the uses of fertilizer. These handy garden
readiers nourish soil and plant growth and contain
three elements — nitrogen, phosphorous ana potash.
Brands you buy list the amounts of these elements in
- „ numbered series ... A-S-5,6-7-3, etc. The first number is
always nitrogen content; the. second, phosphorous,
and the last, potash. The soil test will tell you what
dement is lacking in your soil, if any, and thus you buy
the food with the highest proportion of that. Other
dements — iron, boron, manganese -7 are usually
included, and these, too, aid sail and promote growth.

spehking. they have known only plenty and a surfeit of
Aery thing. True want and deprivation is not in their
-vocabulary. What they have desired of the good things in
life, they have usually received. Many protest against the
nuclear plants, but are they willing to turn back theYlock.ot
a time they have never known or experienced? That will-be
their choice; the perils of nuclear energy or a return to a

the cost. The continued existence ofthe human race depends

However, there are pw 100 percent guarantees in the

Certainly every < "itizen of the United States.'and of the

and depressed over tf te potentially catastrophic accident at

Horrified and de oressed. yes. Suprised. rto. Every

It is. in fact, becoming' increasingly likely that some mad
genius some day will prtrss a button and emJ this planet

The outlook is Armagt edon. But. as with so many other
dittcoveries by.man. there is n flip side to nuclear energy,
which jujstmay paradoxical ly offer the salvation of mankind.
