preliminary planning of a garden will
do much to arouse the interest of the
young people and encourage them to
do their share in cultivating and
wedding it. This will be particularly
true if the owner hires a laborer to
do this first heavy spading and lets
the family begin its gardening not
with heavy, disheartening drudgery,
but on patch ready for the lighter
work of making the seed bed
Having decided what is to be plant
ed the indoor gardener draws lines
or symbols on his outlined plan to
indicate the different crops, inserting
the date when each is to be plant
ed. Where second or third crop is
to follow the same row or occupy the
same ground, this may be written in
red or blue, which indicates that it
is to be planted when an earlier crop
is over. In laying out the plan the
owner should consider the amount
of each vegetable necessary for a
serving for his family. He also should
DSdl III lullu lllS udDllS VI tue pants
so as to allow space enough between
| the rows for their proper growth, for
the interplanting of later crops, and
I for easy cultivation. The cultivation,
Of course, is easiest when the rows
are 1 = to 2 feet apart, as this per
mits the use of wheel cultivators
PlanrF which make a high growth
and cause heavy shade naturally
should not be located where they will
! interfere with sun-loving small
plants. Perennials, such as rhubart
and asparagus, which are not cult
waited, should not be grown among
plants which call for tilling. The
planning may be extended also to thu
planting of small fruits, such as cur
rants, raspberries and grapes, and
even to the location of apple or other
fruit trees.
When there are very small children
in the family, separate small plo
should be set aside for their play gar
dens. If they have their own vege
tables which they are free to pull up
examine. or treat as they like, the,
are less liable to conduct their juven
lie botanical experiments in the gar
den which is being grown for serious
purposes.

allowed to remain until large enough
for use or until it was necessary to
thin them in certain areas to make
space for planting the tomatoes.A few
parsley plants were placed in con-
venient corner where they did not re-
ceive too much sunlight but where the
environment was as cool as possible
and sufficiently moist to keep the
plants growing In the autumn it was
found wise to plant spinach, kale and
potato-onion sets in order that sup
ply of green succulents might be had
during the winter and early spring.
The plan once made out should, of
course, be followed carefully through
out the season, especially with regard
to the dates for planting. Where it is
necessary to change date this should
be indicated on the plan. The plan
also will serve as convenient mem
orandum sheet for keeping fairly
can be entered notes regarding sue,
cess or failure of the different vege-
tables, and whether too much or too
little of any any variety was planted
for the family needs. Failures with
certain vegetables or seed, especially
where the plants showed any sign of
! root disease, should be noted care
| fully and if possible the reasons for
| failure indicated. When the season is
over this plan should be filed until the
next period for indoor gardening
comes around. The wise gardener will
study the old plan carefully and rear
range his vegetables so as not to grow
the same kind the second year in the
same part of the garden. He also
should be particularly careful TO
transfer to other parts of the garden
or not to attempt to raise at all, those
vegetables which have suffered from
root-knot or similar diseases. If his
notes are at all complete, they will
help him to look up subjects in ad-
vance in bulletins, and also will show
him what vegetables are most worth
while and what hardly pay for the
time and trouble spent on them.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-03-23

The accompanying plan was made
from an unusually well-arranged and
successful garden that was grown in
city back yard 25x70 feet in dimen-
sions. The plan also can be used in
laying out plot of a larger yard or
with changes in quantity planted, can
be adapted to small yards or plots OF
other shapes.
This lot is bounded on two sides by
a board fence six feet high. along
which IA grapevines were planted and
trained. Another grapevine was so
planted as to grow on the shed at the
rear. On either side of the f1agstone
walk strawberry plants were set Be-
tween the currant bushes and the
row Of strawberries, were grown
low-growing vegetables such as Deans,
peppers, elephants and the like The
area between the walks, which was
about twelve feet wide, was given
over to vegetables.
In this area the rows of low-grow-
ing, quick-maturing, early vegetables
were planted SO that at proper inter
walls between them later-maturing
sorts could be dispersed. The early
paintings consisted of rows of rad
ishes, early beets, lettuce, carrots, and
a few parsnips, parsnips being placed
so that they could have the benefit of
the entire growing season, while be-
tween were placed first rows of rad
ishes and lettuce and later bunch
beans. The beets, later in the season
gave way to few late cabbage
plants. An area was devoted to q
dozen tomato plants trained to a
! single stem on stakes about four feet
high. These were planted about eigh,
| teen inches apart in each direction
which gave them ample room for ma
! turity. 1t was necessary, however, thai
! the site for tomatoes should be as
sunny as practicable. In the least
sunny portion of the yard early anC
late peas were planted together witt
| a row of sweet peas to supply a few
much priced blossoms for the table
Before the tomatoes were planted
onion sets occupied the area and were

WAR TRUCKSPASS
HERE FOR BORDER
Three Special Trains Carrying Sup.
plies for Troops are Routed
Over Rock Island Road.

1t is expected that three special
trains which passed through Rock Is
land yesterday over the Rock Island
lines, carrying military supplies to the
Mexican border, will be the last of
the kind for the present to be routed
here. In the three trains there were
so military trucks and "a especially
designed water wagons for carrying
water over deserts.
The two trains of trucks were made
up at Kenosha, Wis, and were routed
though Chicago with FL PasO as the
destination. There were Is cars car
rying two trucks each on each train,
together with accommodations for the
chauffeurs that will drive the trucks
in the desert campaign.
The shipment completes the big
consignment OF army motor trucks
from kenosha. The consignment was
so large that four trains in all were
necessary to transport it to the Rio
Grande.
The water wagon shipment came
