Soil may be so fine and so closely packed that capillarity acts slowly. This is the case with clay soils. In sandy soils capillarity act^j quickly. III Depth of Planting Ethel Gowans Purpose.—To show the effect of various depths oi" planting. Conditions necessary.—Fine, moist garden soil. Method.—Let each pupil plant five hills of beans, one foot apart, and one seed in a hill. Plant the seed in the first hill five inches deep, in the second hill three and one-half inches deep, in the third hill two and one-half inches deep, in the fourth hill one and one-half inches deep, and in the fifth hill one-half inch deep. Observations.—i. In which hill does the bean plant come up first? 2. Does the plant come up straight through the soil, or in a looped manner? 3. Are all the plants per- fect— that is, do they have the first pair of opposite fleshy leaves (cotyledons) with the two smaller thin leaves (true leaves) above? 4. If any plants have lost the two fleshy leaves, compare their growth with that of the plants that have not lost the fleshy leaves. 5. If any plants fail to come up, what ^ can you give? Dig; carefully into the hill and fin*:! the seeds; this may hdp you an answering. Fig. t,^.—Thinning the plants.
