Are YOU ready to begin gardening
All right. The nrst thing 10 do is
to sit down with paper, pencil and a
straight edge and plan your work for
the spring
At the start. what about the To-
cation of your garden? If you in
tend TO spade up the back yard you
Will not have so much TO say about
this; but if you can choose garden
space in some vacant lot there are
certain points to keep in mind.
First, get a southern exposure if
possible-that is. ground gently slop-
ing to the south or southeast. Such
ground natures vegetables early. A
'uilding, hill, thick shrubbery, or a
tight board fence on the north side
of the plot breaks the cold. spring
winds and adds TO the forcing pro-
cess. Higher ground is likely TO pro-
duce earlier vegetables than lower
and gives protection from late frosts
on nights when the heavy cold air
settles in the low places.
Character of soil, too, influences
the maturing of garden crops. Light,
sandy soil, because it readily alb
serbs the warmth of the sun. is best
for early crops. Enrich such soil
with manure if you can procure any.
Heavy clay tends 10 form in clods
which do not help plants to grow.
but il is remarkable how good
dressing of manure Will improve
such soil in a single season.
Drainage is important, but most
yards and vacant lots are sufficiently
we'll drained.

Now when you have your garden
plot selected, draw an outline dia-
gram of il. The crops you must Sc
lect for best results depends upon
your space. If your space is small
do not attempt such crops as corn,
potatoes, melons, squashes, and GU
cumbers. for they take up much
room. Better devote your garden
space TO such vegetables as peas,
onions, string and lima beans, car
rots. beets, lettuce. parsnips, and
other vegetables which will grow
abundantly in close rows.
Also consult the family taste and
grow little specialties which are
usually expensive at the stores, such
as okra, parsley, and chives, which
take up little room but provide well
come addition 70 the home menu.
Later you can have the vegetables
which require growing room. 1t
should be your plan TO make every
foot of your space work continuous
~ throughout the growing season,
and there will be plenty Of time. aft
er your early peas, onions, and beans
are gathered, TO plant tomatoes, win
ter onions, kale, and the like, and
have them mature before frost next
fall.
Around the edges of the garden
will be found odd spaces which can
be set to work producing food.
Strawberry plants can be set along
the fence of a back yard. The walk
can have a unitarian hedge Of low
growing vegetable such as peppers,
eggplant. and the like. Tomorrow
YOU will be told the details Of a

mansions. crops produced. and the
like. From il you can probably get
definite plan for your own garden.

RED CROSS APPEALS MEET
With LIBERAL RESPONSE
Funds So Far Collected Amount To
$668.32 Chapter to be Organized
on July Ninth

Fallon's Chapter of the Red Cross
will be officially organized at a meet
ing that will take place on Thurs
day afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, July
| 18th, at Rex Theatre, at which time
Field Representative Wm. W. Hush
will perfect the organization. In
the evening a mass meeting will be
held at the same place at which Mr..
Hush will address the audience on
the purposes and activities of the
Red Cross to all who may be interest
ed. The evening meeting will take
place about $3.50 or Immediately af-
ter the first show and there will be
but one performance.
Meanwhile the work of securing
funds and adding to the member
ship goes merrily on. On the Fourth
of July there was raised from the
sale of programs. confetti, candy and
donations from the concessions,
S2SS.07; from the Ladies Guild, as
the receipts from the minstrel show
at Yerington, s22.75 and from men,
bership dues to date, s40750, MAX
ing a total from all sources of
s66S.32.
On next Saturday the Morris &
Loring Drug Co. will turn over their
soda and ice cream department to
hn aI nd ha aff rnonf ratc
will be donated to the fund. Here
is an opportunity to help in a worthy
couse and at the some time get your
moneys worth.
At this time all the district cap
tains (who. by the way were appoint
ed by the executive committee and
not by Mrs. Lehners as has been err
roneously stated) have not turned in
their full lists of membership and
collections The lists are now being
compiled and at a later date will be
published in full with the amounts
contributed by each.
1t is to be hoped that there will be
a large attendance at the meeting to
be held next week. at which time
will be explained the entire workings
of the Red Cross and it will be made
plain that there is work in plenty
for all and no one need feel that
they have been sighted or overlook
ed in the division of the labor so for
allotted. Indeed the Red Cross can
not be said to be fully organized un-
til every man, woman and child in
the county is either a working or a
contributing member. This is case
where all can volunteer without un-
dergoing a physical examination.
Everyone can do something and is
welcome to join in the work.

MISS GLADYS REA Marsh
WEDS DR.. J. c. FERRELL
Made Man and Wife Under Folds of
the Flag at a Military Wedding
Last Wednesday at Noon

A military wedding took place in
Fallon on the Fourth of July, when
DR.. J. C. Ferrell of Wonder took as
his bride Miss Gladys Rea Marsh at
the home of the brides parents.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. j, A. Wachob of the M e.
Church at high noon in the presence
of the immediate relatives and
friends of the contracting parties.
Miss Matte SteinbrooK was the
bridesmaid and Joe Moore acted as
the groom's best man.
The Gel emony was performed un-
der the folds of Old Glory draped in
an archway beneath which the cou-
pie stood. The bride was beautifully
attired in a wedding gown of white
crepe de chine trimmed in white
velvet and carried a boquet of baby
roses. The bridesmaid wore a gown
of white taffeta and georgette crepe
and carried a boquet of white carna-
tions.
After the ceremony wedding break
fast was served, the table being de-
corated in the National colors of red
white and blue and a tiny flag was
placed at each plate.
The bride comes of a military
stock of her grandfather, DR.. S. W.
Service, being Senior Veterinary
Surgeon in the 10th U. S. Cavalry.
DR. Ferrell holds a commission as
Lieutenant in the Medical Corps of
the Army. having taken the examina-
tion last year. and is now in the
medical reserve awaiting call to
the colors, hence the military fea-
lures of the wedding were peculiar
ly fitting.
As the exacting duties of the
groom would not permit of a honey
moon trip, the newlyweds departed
on Thursday for Wonder to take up
their residence The best wishes of
their many friends will go with them
and follow them wherever their
their future lines may lay.
