Gardening Essential Factor
 In School Work, Is Claim.

School gardening. not as an exercise or a diversion, but as fundamental factor of a complete, rounded educa- ton, is urged by Van Evria Fitzpatrick of New York, president of the School Garden Association of America.
 The child who does not come into di- rect contact with growing plants and animals is deprived of his natural heri- tage, MT. Fitzpatrick, pioneer in school garden work in America, declares.
 It took long time to get physical training and industrial branches. in cIuding domestic science and art for the girls, incorporated into the curricu- lum of the public schools, Mir. Kflpat- rick points out. The teaching of agri- culture, which should carry with it an appreciation of the great outdoors and it's wholesome influences, he says, is just as essential and in time will be so recognized.
 "The purpose of our organization is to carry that message to the people, Mr. Fitzpatrick said. Tt is a little un- fortunate many look upon school gar dening as a pleasing diversion. It is that, but vastly more. It is an essen. tial factor in complete education and should be supported in the public schools as such.'

Proper Incubation Makes Big Flock, But 1t Takes Much
 Care.
By II. F. Dvorachek, College of
 Agriculture, Fayetteville.

Successful incubation commences with proper storage of the eggs prior to the time that they are put in the machine. Eggs should be kept in cool temperature of approximately 70 degrees and if this temperature IS not maintained 1t will die and cause the egg to be culled out as infertile at the first candling. It is recommend ed that the eggs be turned daily and for twelve hours before the hatch IS begun they should rest on end with the large end up so that the air cell may adjust itself. A good cellar is a prerequisite of a good hatch. It should be one that is we'll ventilated at all times, and the windows should be so arranged that no direct sunlight falls on the machine.
 Very often We are asked the type of incubator one should buy. During in 'cubation there is probably very little difference in the regularity of heat maintenance of a hot water and hot air machine. However, the latter is more quickly heated up at any time. The hot water machine has the adyan- tage in the fact that if the lamp should unexpectedly be extinguished the heat will be retained longer. On ac- count of the tank arrangement on this kind of machine it is doubtful if il Is as durable over a period of years as the hot air machine due to natural rusting out.
 Always run an incubator for at least a day before putting in the eggs. This enables the machine to thorough ly dry out. It permits of correct tenn perature adjustment and at the same time gives the operator a knowledge of the workings of his machine.
 On the egg tray the eggs should not be piled one upon the other. The ma chine should not be so crowded that efficient turning can not take place. In imitation of nature the eggs should be turned regularly twice day, morning and night, commencing on the even ing of the third day.
 Temperature may be recorded on the eggs or by the thermometer in sus- pension immediately above the egg tray. This latter method is unques- tionably the better because it obviates the danger of the thermometer bulh resting upon an infertile egg or upon one in which the embryo has died. II
