Mr., Thurston's Endorsement.

Endorsement of the home-garden
movement is made in letter written
by E. L. Thurston, superintendent of
schools read at the meeting held
Wednesday evening at the Iowa Ave
nue. NJ. E. Church to organize the
community garden work in Piney
Branch and Saurs Addition. Mr.. Thurs
ton wrote, in part:
school gardening is a very helpful
occupation for those who engage in it.
1t teaches a child much thar books do
not teach. 1t makes clear 20 him that
effort pays 1t makes e.car to HIM
the fact that good results come from
regularity, and the value, too, of ap-
plication. The home garden requires
steady attention. thought and care. but
it responds in full measure where
these are given. l think the home gar
den also gives a child a decided in
sight into the real meaning of much
that his geography and history state
as facts.
II believe especially that the home
garden should be encoura ged at the
present time because of our economic
situation. Home gardening may well
be said TO represent a national need.
1t is one form of that national thrift
we are so anxious to develop in our
midst. There is no doubt whatever but
that the development of the home
gardening plan will not only benefit
the children directly, but Will benefit
the community at large in the aid
il gives in meeting the high cost of
living. We may look on this not only
as q home movement, but as A move
ment to meet civic and community
need. Our citizens and our boys and
girls who are to be citizens will be
the better members of the community
because of their active interest in the
garden movement"

HOME GARDEN HINTS
Planting Vegetables for
Winter Use.

There are number of vegetables
which, though grown in the summer.
are usually planted for use i'll the fol-
lowing winter. An adequate supply of
these produced in the home garden VIII
do much to make the familys winter
fare more attractive and more econom
ical. Among garden products of this
type may be named cabbage, carrots,
parsnips, turnips and rutabagas.
For late crop it is customary to
plant the seeds III a bed in the open
ground in May or June and transplant
them to the garden in July. For cab
bage of this character the soil should
be heavier and more retentive of mots-
ture than for early cabbage. which re-
quires a rich. warm soil in order to
reach maturity quickly. For the late
variety it is not desirable to have too
rich a soil, as the heads are liable to
burst. Cabbages should be set in rows
thirty to thirty-siX inches apart, the
plants standing fourteen to eighteen
inches apart in the row.
