Water from downspouts should be carried about three feet away from a foundation Use a splash block, wall. downspouting or tile drain. Do not direct water from the downspouting into the drain around the footing. Quick thaws or heavy rains can mean damp or flooded basements. Leaks in basements may be caused by cracked walls, improperly graded surfaces, water in window wells, or water pressure under floors. Cracked walls or floors Watertight concrete is important to prevent water seepage in the basement. Fill cracks w hen the soil is dry, so the cracks will be dry. It works best to fill cracks when there is no artificial heat in the basement, so thin layers of mortar can cure. Floors: Water pressure under concrete basement floors may cause them to leak or buckle. To relieve this pressure: 1. Build a sump so water can run into it and be pumped out. 2. If there is a layer of clean gravel under the floor, drill a hole in the side of the floor drain. This will allow water to flow through the gravel to the drain, and will relieve pressure under the floor. cracks (': inch or more): "V out the crack with a star drill or cold chisel.

Whether growing or eating them, you can enjoy the best in carrot quality throughout the year, says Bill Varga, research horticulturist, Utah State University. Varga reminds that you can enjoy most success in growing carrots if you will select a variety of the type best suited to your garden soil. Choose from among the four basic or pointed, shapes: taper-roote- d stump rooted or blunt, cylindrical, and ball shaped. The long taper-roote- d varieties grow well in garden soil that is sandy or light and loose. For heavy or stony soils, you will do better with shorter varieties. The stump rooted or cylindrical types have performed best in the soil at the USU Farmington trials. The real proof of good garden-grow- n carrots comes in the eating. Varga lists five varieties grown at Farmington that rated highest in flavor tests. These are Pioneer Hybrid, Short N Sweet, Scarlet Nantes, Royal Cross Hybrid and Lance Hybrid. Certainly color also has something to do with carrot appeal.
