TOWN FARMERS
 TO LESSEN FOOD COST
National Emergency Food Garden Commission. to Create, e Mslllon
 Mora Gardens.

When the school and home garden ing movements started in the United States a score Of years ago few per sons foresaw that some day this minia- ture farming of urban lots might prove of great economic benefit to the entire population. Up to the present the movement has been fostered aB e so- cial service-tO give boys and girls habits of industry and to afford to dwellers in congested districts enjoy able, healthful and profitable occupa- don in their leisure, with incidental aid in beaudfylng cities and towns by cleaning up the back yards and vacant lots.
 The present food crisis, which may become more acute in the event. of a serious war, seems to have brought the day in which the idle lands within American municipalities are likely to become an important source of food supply. So seriously Is the matter re- garded that a number of we'll known educators and philanthropists have or ganized in Washington the national emergency food garden commission devoted to the purpose of putting l. OO0OOO men, women and children on city and town gardens this spring to raise vegetables for their families,
 Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry association, Is the originator of the movement and the head of 1t. With him are associa- ted among others Dr. Charles V. Eliot of Cambridge, Mass; John Grter Htb- ben, president of Princeton university; Carl Yrooman, assistant secretary of Agriculture; Capt. J. B. White, mem Der of the United States shipping board; Albert ". Shaw, editor of Sys- tem magazine; Emerson McMillin of New York, John Hays Hammond Of New York, Fairfax Harrison of Vir- ginia, Luther Burbank of California and Hon. James Wilson, former sec retary of agriculture.
 The plan adopted by the commission is first to create garden volunteers by making the dwellers in cities and towns realize the danger in the food situation this year and then to give these volunteers daily instruction In gardening from the sprouting of seeds in hotbeds to the harvesting of the ripe crops.
 The ambition of the commission to create 100000 new gardeners IS con servative. The bureau of education es- inmates that there are 6,OOG,OOO school children capable of cultivating garden yards, while within our cities and towns there Is probably an equal num- Der of adults who have the leisure for such work.

Growing okra or Gumbo.

The home gardener will usually nnd it advantageous to grow small Quand- ties of certain specialties which will add to the attractiyeness of the family fare and which few housewives will trouble to buy. Among these may be mentioned okra or gumbO.
 The young pods of this plant are the part used. These are employed principally in soups, to which they i'm part a pleasant flavor and a sticky consistency. The best pods are grown on young plants, but If the pods are removed before they are allowed to ripen the plants will continue to pro duce them until killed by frost.
 The seeds of Okra should be sown In the open after the ground has become quite warm, or the plants may be started in berry boxes in the hotbed and transplanted in the garden after all danger of frost has passed The rows should be four feet apart for the dwarf sorts and five feet apart for the tall kinds, with the plants two feet apart in the row.

HOME GARDEN MOVEMENT

Charles Lathrop Pack, president Of the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, has written a letter to X. J. Driscoll. chairman of the Promotion Committee of the Central Garden Com mittee of the District of Columbia, commenting the work of the commit tee.
 Mir. Pack calls attention to the fact that President Wilson emphasized the patriotism involved in the garden movement and adds: "The president of the United States in his appeal to the nation rOiuts out in forceful lan- guage the part that must be played by the people. The members of the Wash ingtOn garden clubs are now doing what the president urges all to do, and I sincerely hope that the good work will be kept up.
 The National Emergency Food Gar den Commission, of which I have the honor of being president, Is urging throughout the nation as vigorous a campaign as Is being prosecuted in Washington. Our whole aim Is to aid the people to aid themselves, and by the creation of home gardens, where fresh vegetables may be raised all dur ing the summer season. g great benedt will he the result not only to the indi- vidual family. but to the government, which now is buriCned as never before with a multiplicity of responsibilities.
 The need for immediate action on the part of the people to embrace every possible opportunity to aid themselves and their country Is apparent on all sides. The great government depart meuts and the president of the coun- try himself are urging the masses to permit no wild land go to waste. The food problem is serious today, but with war progressing, as it must progress with leaps and bounds, the food SltUa- tiOn will become more acute, and then will the situation arise where the in- divIdual householder must not only lis- ten to counsel. but must do his bit If sufficient food Is wanteL"

HOW TO PREPARE
 THE GARDEN SOIL FSeSiIlzors and Limo Should se Applied When, Ground Is Ready.

Prepared by United States department of agricultural
 A simple. test to determine when garden soil is ready for blowing or working is to take q handful of earth from the surface and close the fingers tightly on 1t. If the earth competed In this way is dry enough for cultiya- ton 1t will fall apart when the hand Is opened. This test is applicable only to comparatively heavy soils, but It Is these which receive the most injury If they are worked when wet. On such soils overzealous gardeners not only waste their time, but frequently do | actual damage by attempting to work them too early.
 , After blowing or working with a spade 1t is usually desirable to apply some form of fertilizer Barnyard or stable manure, which furnishes both plant food and humus, is undoubtedly the best and applications of from twenty to thirty tons to the acre are satisfactory. The manure should be distributed evenly over the surface and later worked tn with hoe and rake. Frequently 1t is advisable also to ap- ply commercial fertilizer, especially phosphate. An application of 300 to 600 pounds of acid phosphate to the acre is usually sufficient. In order to supply potash, if this Is needed, un- bleached wood ashes may be distrib- uted over the garden at the rate of | 1000 pounds to the acre. Wet or leach | ed ashes have less fertilizer value. Two thousand pounds of these should be used. In order to start the plants early in the spring applications of 100 pounds to the acre of nitrate of soda are sometimes used. It Is important, however, to remember that no form of commercial fertilizer will yield good results unless the soil Is well supplied with humus. This frequently may be ] furnished in the form of sod or other vegetation which has overgrown a garden spot and may be turned under with a blow or spade.
 Tn certain localities 1t is also ad- visa6le to test the soil for acidity. Naturally moist soils are likely to be sour and in such q condition are not likely to produce the most satisfactory crops. The test for acidity or sour ness Is a very simple one. A handful of the soil slightly moistened and a piece of blue Htmus paper, which can be obtained from any drug store, are all that is necessary. When placed on sour soil the paper will turn red. To correct such a condition lime should be, used. The ground should be GOV cred with q thin coat of air slaked lime and the latter worked in well. Lime is not a plant food, but It will correct the acidity and will improve the physical condition of the soil.

FOR SPOTLESS TOWN

Tn a circular sent out recently by the Philadelphia board of trade to all bust ness organizations and about 15O of the largest business houses attention Is called to a recent address of Aiers Busch, chairman of its committee of municipal affairs, asking, What kind of a city do Philadelphians wantT' MT. Busch said:
 Do they want clean streets? Let them avoid throwing dust and rubbish into the highways, guard and dispose of store waste, see that sides of wag- ons hauling rubbish are always higher than the load and gather up waste pa- per. The present enormous fire loss can be made nominal by personal care. The waste of water, besides that re- Qplred to extinguish fires, means a large and constant expense in pumping and storage capacity.
 "The appearance of the city could be radically changed and improved in a week if everybody would clear away pavement Instructions, projecting signs, etc.
 Letter boxes and fire and police sig nal boxes could be placed against buildings (in Europe they are often set into the walls and if placed In the same relative position, such as on the northwest corner of intersections, could readily be found by those requir- jng them

ON GROWING ONIONS.

On Small Areas lt 10 Preferable to
 Plant Sets.
 Prepared by United States. department of
 agricultural
 Onions, like potatoes, are a staple crop that Is grown commercially on a very extensive scale. As q general rule, 1t is well to have the crop follow some other one that has been kept un- der the hoe and free from weeds the previous season.
 In the north seed is sown as early In the spring as the soil can be brought to the proper condition. In the south onion sets are frequently put out in the autumn and carried through the winter with the protection of a little hay or straw. There are three meth Ods of prOpagating oniOns-the first, by sowing the seed in rows where the crop Is to grow; second, by sowing the seed in specially prepared beds and transplanting the seedlings to the open ground, and, third, by planting sets which have been kept through the win ter. The first method is used by large commercial growers on account of the amount os labor involved in the others. On small areas, however, it may be preferable to plant sets. Under normal conditions these may usually be Ob- tained at planting time for about $2.50 a bushel, eight or nine bushels being required to plant an acre. Onions planted from sets will ripen eariieN than those from seed sOwn in the fields. When the transplanting meth cd Is used the seed is sOwn in green, houses, hotbeds, cold frames or spe- cialy prepared beds at the rate of three and one-half to four pounds for each acre to be planted. The seed. nngs are transplanted when they are somewhat smaller than a lead pencil and rather stocky. The root end of the seeding IS pushed into the soil with one finger, and the soil is then Armed about the plant.
 The seed Is sown thiCkly in drills about twelve to fourteen inches apart. After the plants become established they are thinned to two or three inches apart. The maturity of the bulbs may be hastened by preventing the con dnued growth of the tops. This Is sometimes accomplished by rolling an empty barrel over the rows and break ing down the tops. After these are practically dead the onlun bulbs may be pulled up by hand ffom the soil and spread in a dry, We'll ventilated place to cure. Thereafter they may be stored in crates or bags for winter use. In the north the crop ripens and is harvested during the latter part of the summer and early autumn. In the southern states, where the crop is grown during the winter, the harvest ing and marketing period takes place during the spring months.
