A GARDEN OF one-quarter to
II one-half acre Is sufficient
1 n for an average family. and
should produce enough Vege-
tables for use throughout the entire
year This fact is brought out in a
new Farmers Bulletin (No. 64O, en-
titled THE Home Garden in the
South"
One-fourth Of an acre alone can be
made to supply a family of six, il
close attention is given to the rota-
tfon and succession of crops, and in
terplantng. Where land is plentiful
1t is recommended that a sufficient
area be set aside to allow part of the
garden to be planted TO soil-im-
improving crop each year.
The location of permanent crops.
such as asparagus, rhubarb, and
small fruits. should be carefully con-
sidered. These crops should be
placed at one side, so they will not
be in the way when the garden is
plowcd. Here is plan for a garden
200 feet long and 10 feet wide. The
ming the length of the garden.
To the let of asparagus may be
located a hotbed, cold frame, and
seed bed, being eight, twelve, and
sixteen feet long, respectively, and
six feet wide. The asparagus is To-
Gated six feet from the outer edge
of the garden. The next four rows,
which are fifteen inches apart, are
to be devoted one each to carrots,
parsnips. beets, and satisfy. These
are long-season crops, and are not
used in a succession.
The next two rows are devoted to
LETTUCE. radishes. and onion sets,
and after these are harvested the
area Is to be occupied by an autumn
crop of celery.
The next two rows are to be sown
with onion seed for mature bulbs,
and this Is also to be followed by
autumn celery.
Two Rows of Peas.
The next two rows, which are
three feet apart, are to he planted
with early peas. one row to be plant
ed ten days ahead of the other, and
both rows to be followed by an au-
tumn planting of cabbage. The next
two rows, which are also three feet
apart, are to be planted to a late va
riety of peas, one sown a week or
ten days in advance OF the other,
and as soon as these are harvested
the ground is to be prepared for an
autumn crop of cabbage. This will
give four rows of autumn, cabbage.
Tho next row is to be devoted to
early cabbage, followed by autumn
planting of beans. and one-half OF
the next row is to be planted to
early cabbage, followed by autumn
beans. The other half of that row
is to be planted to caulifower, fol-

half on free throws.
The work of the forwards was ir-

seldom tried for goal, passing to Mar

played carefully and made all the points
for her team. The Juniors were more
successful in passing though they were
often blocked. Their points oftsS

should be left at the ends. For
hand cultivation the rows can be
much closer together, and may run
across the garden.
In the suggested plan. where the
distance between the rows is less
than two feet. hand cultivation with
wheel hoe is contemplated. II a
hand cultivator or wheel hoe Is not
available, the rows should be at
least two feet apart to give suf-

George Washington won the return
game from Temple University OF Phila-

also lost the game in Philadelphia. but
the girls OF this team were confident
that they would win In Washington by
q large margin.
The Washington team plans to pSS>
a return game with Fredericksburg
about the middle OF April. The trip
will be made in automobiles and at
least four cars will be used.
Next Friday will be the last time
that the Central teams will use Epipn-
any this spring. Tho tennis season will
begin to take the place of basketball.
The Western freshmen Classes in
gymnasium work have been able to
have work out of doors all winter on
the Georgetown field. Basketball. base
ball. tennis. and hockey have been the
sports enjoyed. The classes have been
large enough to form at least two COM
plete hockey teams at each appointment.
There have been very few days when
bad weather forced the abandonment OF
outdoor grounds.
The athletic clubhouse is expected to
be a boon to the Western girls when
the high school Is finished. They raised
the money for 1t by their own efforts.
The girls of Technical expect TO have
tennis and hockey as their outdoor
sports this spring. The Bloomingdale
playground courts will be used, as last
year. 1t is hoped that the vacant lot
at Ninth apd Rhode Island avenue can
be secured for the hockey field, since
it is the right size and is very near the
school.
The doubles in tennis for tho inter-
school championship between Central
and Technical will be played off some
time after the school tennis associations
are organized for the spring.

friends without having them in the
room. If you feel very blue, try to
anticipate your college life next
fall. and the good times YOU will
have there.
Charlottc--If you will send a
Samped envelope to me, care Of this
office, I shall be glad to supply you
with some information regarding a
boathouse where you may store
your canoe.
B. V. M.-Surely you should write
TO your motheT-in-law. l think it
would please her very much to feel
that you were interested in her and
cared enough to write. Since she has
been so kind in mentioning you al
ways in her letters, she must be
anxious to know you. Then. too.
when you do meet her you will feel
better acquainted if you have car
ried on a correspondence.
J. D.-Perhaps under the circum-
stances it would be better for you
to stop wearing the mans present.
When you meet him act as you al
ways have, since his behavior doesn't
give you an excuse to be discour-
teous. Don't worry yourself about
him any more than you can help.
He may think he can keSp two girls
crazy about him at the same time.
Show him that he is wrong.
Miss Laurie will welcome letters OF
