crops on every square foot Of your
garden left uncovered befora freeA
Ing .wea s-1..r is not merely Il hobby
but just about as important is puttin;S
manure or your garden an Iii. spring.
In ATTITUDES north of Philadelp,i a, the
best crops to SOW for this purpose are
rye and winter vetch. South Of sPhfla :,
de1phia either these or crimson clover
may be used. Both the vetch and the
clover are 'tlegumes' and not only
conserve plant food as .asscqihcd
above but gather nitrogen Fl OH the
air, actually enriching the 9garde1, soil
ION which they grow. The earlier
these can be sown the more growth
they will make before tfeA ground
freezes up. The best way is to have
enough seed on hand and sow each
patch of ground as soon as it is avail
ables instead of waiting until yoh can
clear off all OF pithe garden. Il Next
spring the parts which were sowr last
can be left for late crops. such as
melons and beans. so that the cover
crops will have more of chance TO
grow. The clover can be sown. any
time up to the first week of Septem-
Der and the rye and yetch until early
frost. -
Too many gardeners make the mis-
take of ieaving all Nihe cleaning up
there NAV he to be done in the gar
den until spring. Dead vines, had
fruits, brush. tomato poles, etc., are
left where they are. This not only
makes a disreputable locking gardens
through The winter and early spring,
but furnishes the very finest kind OF
a winter resort for every bug. beetIS
and blight spore on the list that re-
uuires special Quarters for ..Wintclang
over" Make the slogan of the last
weeks work in the garden out-of-
doors before freezing weather comes
Clean Up and Burn. Don't be
tempted, as it is sometimes advised,
to use the leaves, weeds and refuse
from your garden for the compost
heap. It is true they will help make.
humus but they may also help make
trouble. Pieces of sod, fallen leaves
and material of that kind may be r0t%
ted up with manure If YOU have 1t to-
increase the fertility OF your garden
next spring, but burn everything
which by chance may carry over trou-
BILE for another year.
There is another opportunity to
make your garden for next year bet
ter by giving It an extra deep spadirg
up this fall. If 1t is a small one and
usually spaded or forked up. You cam
go over it now and dig it several
inches deeper than usual by throwing
the soil out of the first row and then
digging up the soil below that, turn-
ing it over and breaking it up where
It is. The soil from the next how,@if
thrown on top of this, will leave an
other strip of the subsoil uncovered
so that it can be broken up. This
trenching or subsoiling of the gar
den not only gives more room for the
roots of your plants to gather thei.
food in but also makes it possible to
work it much sooner in the spring,
as the improved drainage enables II
to dry out more rapidly.

Seek Drafted Men
For Aviation Service

Under the recent ruling, all drafted
men within the age range and having
a good education, may apply for the
first Iieutenant's commission in the
aviation section as aviators or obser-
walton balloon pilots, and IL approved
by the aeronautical officers, may take
the examinations If they success
fully pass and are accepted as avia-
tors or observation balloon pilots, af-
ter having been assigned to the can
comments, may apply for a transfer to
the aviation section.
General Petain, chief
of the French armies operating on
the French front, in signed state
ment, praises the work of the Amer
lean aviators, stating that the squad
ron has recently brought down % en-
envy airplanes.
It is probable that the New England
aviators or some of them may receive
their last few months training at the
great aviation camps in France, as
the soldiers are now receiving train
ing in France before taking part in
the active work Of the war.
! The. aeronautical headquarters at Is
Huntington avenue, Boston, will be
open evenings from Z to g. Other
hours, 9 to g. Special and prompt at
tention will be given to all inquiries
by mail or telegraph, from out-of-
town parties interested and as much
Information as possible given to all
who desire it. Men of Greater Boston
can accomplish more by calling in

BANKERS CONFERENCE
HELD IN SWITZERLAND

New York, Aug. "a, via London
German bankers are reported to be
participating in Switzerland at a con-
ference of European fnanciers but no
confirmation is olbtainable. The
Deutsche Zeitung of Berlin learns that
If such meeting Is taking place it is
wholly in the nature of deliberations
by financial groups of belligerent
countries who are interested in inter-
national holdings. The publication
adds that if the political situation is
discussed, any German representative
there is acting wholly in a private ca
pacity and without official authority.

The old saying that .You cannot
eat your cake and have it too does
not altogether apply in the garden.
or, to put it differently, il you handle
your garden in the right way in the
fall you can get a lot of the raw plant
foods which it contains "cooked-up'
and ready for your crops tos use next
season; and also save the neac sea-
sons use the "left-overs that other
wise would goNto waste from the p1ant
foods you applied this year.
The plant food in the soil exists in
two forms called available and
unavailable" This simply means that
the plant food that is termed avail
able is in such forms that the roots
of growing plants can make 1mr1eu1-
ate use of it, while that termed I'M
available is in such condition that IT
has to undergo chemical changes be-
fore the plant can take it up TO
make the matter plain for the Begin
ner we may say that the unaiys liable
plant foods in the soil correspond to
the materials of various kinds whichc
the cook may have in theF kitchen
cupbroard-ffour, rice, lima beans,
spaghetti, etc. These are all foods
but not available for human use until
after they have been changed by
cooking. The parallel may be carried
a step farther in that, after they have
been prepared, they cannot be kept
