Joyridcs and Gasoline

WYE smile now when the Governor of New

rides and save gasoline for something useful"
but We may count ourselves happy if we can
continue TO smile at similar advice. In this

far from unlimited. Great Britain had been

So much can be said regarding this
modern educational and economic adj
vance that it is difficult to condense
the essential features in the space
allotted.
The main object is to have each
pupil that is interested assigned q
small plot of ground for his or her
individual use and benefit. The soil
is prepared by the garden manage
ment. The plowing, narrowing, lev
cling, fertilizing and marking off in
plots is done in the best possible man
ner and with all labor saving ma
chinery available.
In this way the pupil does not do
any deep spading or any Of the other
heavy work as would be needed to
put little patch in a backyard in
good condition.
But it is insisted upon that the gar
den plot whether large or small shall
be thoroughly worked, in other words,
cultivated intensively.
The special object in this is first
table food can be produced in a small
space. This means that not a single
weed is allowed to exist. 1t means
that all available plant food in the
ground shall be conserved. 1t means
that moisture must be conserved. 1t
means that the soil must be in so per-
feet condition mechanically that the
roots can penetrate deeply. The plant
food and humus must be so well dis
tributed and mixed with the soil that
it will not burn up the plants by
wrong fermentation process or too
active chemical process.
Deep plowing means the creation
of a storage reservoir for water be-
low the surface within reach of the
roots. All these fundamental condi-
tions must be met and studied. Their
importance must be demonstrated
The difference between a good garden
and a poor one must be impartially
Disseminated.
If one planter has succeeded ano
another has failed on adjacent OF
nearby plots, it is imperative to know
the reasons for the success or failure
Perhaps the seed were planted toe
deep at one place, or not deep enough
at another. Perhaps one gardener
was alert in detecting insects anc
overcoming them, while another al
lowed his crop to be destroyed Per
haps one garden was watered at JUS
the right time, while the owner o.
another garden was busy at base
ball game.
The importance of the school gar
