Your OUn Garder---HOW to Plan it


Second Of a series of articles on
how to run your own garden. what
and when 10 plant, how to plan. il and
care for it,.
BY A GARDENER.
Planning the garden is most impor-
tant.
A badly planned garden intcrferes
with oultiyating and harvesting and
reduces the amount Of vegetables you
will get.
The question to many first season
gardeners is whether TO make use Of
the backyard or a vacant lot nearby.
Against the vacant lot is the pos
sibility OF some other person reaping
some Of the harvest and the likelihood
that you won't spend as much time in
it as you should. Against the back
yard garden is the possibility of its
being needed for the children. or that
it is shaded too much.
have in my backyard a garden
space 80 feet deep and 60 feet wide.
but also make use Of small patches
OF ground in other parts OF the yard.
and of hotbeds and cold frames.
If you have a backyard i'm which
the sun may shine, make use Of il.
And if there's a vacant lot nearby
which you can get rent free, take it,
Having picked the ground you are

den down. This makes dry pathway
on rainy days. IT can. Of course. be
just a well beaten earth pathway
To the south Of the path are the
smaller plants. onions, lettuce. rad
ishes. beets, spinach. carrots, turnips,
parsnips and potatoes.
BY grouping the small vegetables to-
ward the south, you do not shut of
the sun from the northern part. Ii
there's one thing vegetables need II Is
sunshine.
II there is a spot to which the sun
doesn't get for long periods plant
that to onions, lettuce, radishes, spin
ach rather than to corn, tomatoes,
cabbages, potatoes or beans.

PLANS FOR SOLDIER
SPORTS IN MAKING
A. A. U. Officials Soon to
Frame Program of Athletic
Championships at Camps.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Arrangements for a program of ath-
letic championships to be held at vari-
Gus camps and cantonments through
out the country will be undertaken
shortly by officials of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union, with the announcement by
President c. A. Dean of Chicago of the
national championship committee. 1t
is the intention of the union to con-
duct competitions in all sports in their
season throughout the year. all to be
held under the supervision Of the ma
tional championship committee and as
nearly simultaneously as possible at
all the camps. Designs for regular
A. U. U. championship medals. which
will be awarded to the various win
ners. now are under consideration.
Frederick W. Ruben, secretary Of the
A. A. u. announced today in New York
that no formal steps have been taken
as yet to obtain the advice Of the War
Department as to how the $4,000 ap-
propriated by the A. A. U. for the cham
such a move will be taken within few
days. He said:
THE main idea is to get the boys
in the camps in the physical condition
sumed in sharing their country's bur
den in the war. At the same time
recreation of a pleasant kind win be
afforded the soldiers as they get their
bodies in good physical condition"
The A. A. U. is to be commended
for the work 1t has undertaken in pro-
viding competition for the men in
Uncle Sans service. There is no doubt
but that the effects will be just those
sought-physical betterment of the
men. who also will be afforded health
full mental stimulus while obtaining it.
The decision to award regulation
A. A. u medals for the winners is one
that must be lauded. 1t will furnish
additional incentive for participation
in the games and contests. if any is
needed.
Joe Leonard, the interchangeable
third baseman and first sacker of the
Nationals, Is expected to arrive in
Washington tomorrow to enter the new

fcation from Manager Griffith to report
