If you have planted a vegetable garden in the past and havent been too successful, maybe it is your soil. According to advanced master gardener Richard Crookston, to grow vegetables or flowers you need a good base. If you have clay soil you need to raise your beds to provide better soil. If you have sandy soil you will also need to raise the ground so the plants can grow. Crookston has been a master gardener since 1981 and volunteers with Utah State University Extension Service giving classes en gardening. ! Only a portion of the gardens at the Utah State Botanical Gar-dens will be open this year. The gardens are getting ready to move to a new location, so many pf the plants will be dug up and moved.

I The beds need to be raised so tou can work in compost, Crookston told his class last week. Raised beds are the only way lo go if all you have is a city lot, he said. We can raise enough vegetables on our small city lot to feed us and all of our children. I A raised bed is just soil mounded up so the air can warm the soil on three sides and the Joil will dry faster. It is also easier to work and easier to identify here you are supposed to walk, Crookston said. Using the chalkboard to demonstrate, Crookston showed the class that the top of the raised bed is 36 inches wide while the base is 48 inches wide. And the lows can be as long as you want them. - To get good soil you must Work in organic matter. You can use two to six inches of sawdust br leaves. I found the best leaves to work with are scrub oak leaves. Jhey have high fiber, but break down good, said Crookston, who mixes in 8 to 10 inches of leaves each year.

L. Brent Christensen, a school counselor for both Whitesides Elementary and Holt Elementary, took his music program, Lettuce Explore Music, to both schools last week. The program began with three numbers played by the Clearfield High School Brass Quintet. The quintet is made up of five members of the brass family: two trumpets, played by Cry stal Gold and Jason Bodily; horn, played by Kevin Smnott; trombone, Justin Hyde; and tuba, Tom Koster. All were clothed in black tuxedos. Dressed in his black tux, Christensen introduced the group and let the elementary students know that musicians go to school to leam about music. Music is like learning to speak. Each note and symbol has a different meaning, CLEARriELD he said. Each measure is Ike a sentence." And music is sound. Each of the players in the quintet made their lips vibrate while blowing air through the horns to get volume, he said. What we are trying to do is to show there are other occupations besides being a policeman, fireman or teacher, Christensen said. He tried to show the audience how they come up with melodies. Using the fictitious character Caveious Bcginmgus, Christensen told how music began with the beating of bones. Three teachers, Krystal Mills and Jana Rees on tambourines and David Smellie playing the base drum, joined him in a rhythm band. Christensen brought an element of surprise to the tune by playing a conch shell and a cow horn and ending the tune with a whistle. As Christensen tried to play a horn, it wouldnt make music. He reached inside the instrument and pulled out a scarf. As scarves kept coming out of the horn, students laughed and one yelled magic. They used a hom years ago when chasing foxes," Christensen told the students as he began to play familiar tunes. Placing his hand into one end of a French Hom, he rlayed the scales. He said the hom is really two horns in one as it plays in the key of F on one side and of B fiat on the other. As he played Brahms Lullaby students raised their hands as soon as they recognized the song. The biggest surprise of all was when he claimed he had picked up the principal's garden hose to make an instrument from it. lie asked for the assistance of student Tyson one-inc- h Skeen to hold a portion of the hose, which had a big red funnel in the end. Christensen actually played music by Johannes Brahms on the green hose. That was monophonic sound," he said. Then he played part of Stars and Stripes Forever m stereophonic sound as Tyson swung the hose above his head. Music can come from something as simple as a garden hose, he said. Following the program, Ryan said, That made me nervous, but is was great to make a hom of a garden hose." 14-fo- Olsens diverse interests arc demonstrated in oil paintings that range from the realistic and historical to the whimsical. When Olsen paints a tree house, he said, he paints it the way the children climbing it imagine it to be - the simple boards and nails of reality become elaborate, majestic castles in the sky. Olsens philosophy on art is quite simple. For me, I just always appreciated the beauty of art and the way it made me 1 lake a lot of feel, he saul. in painting and hope pleasure that pleasure is contagious to those who look at my art. 1 hope that people arc happy and uplifted when they see my wotk.
