Will Supply the Need.

George w. Hess, superintendent OF the
garden. said today that he is going to
relieve this condition. He will make all
the improvements he can in the garden.
One of the ways in which the Botanic
Garden is performing real war work is
in affording a pleasant outdoor luncheon
grounds for thousands of young womei,
who work in the temporary office build
ings a square or two to the west. These
young women are boarding in all sections
Of the city. Most of them carry their
lunches and they are getting the habit
of repairing to the Botanic Garden at the
lunchtime period.
Supt Hess says he has found that the
young women do not throw the wrap
pings and scraps about, but carry them
outside to some receptacle for trash.
AS long as they do this and do not litter
up the grounds he is delighted that they
are utilizing the garden as recreation
grounds.

WANTS HUNDREDS
OF TONS OF JAM
FOR BOYSAT FRONT

Five hundred tons of JAM This is
one of the items that will be re-
quired monthly by :he American Red
nection with its work among the
troops of the American eXpAditionary
forces. No wonder it IS necessary for
the folks at home to go little easy
on sugar.
This 500 tons Of jam was one OF
the items in a list of standard art
icles for which the Reed Cross COM
missioner to France cRbled. the art
icles in question to be distributed
through American Red Cross postes
de secours in the army zone
through hospital representatives at
army hospitals, and to some extent
at canteens.
Basing his estimates on a sliding
scale to provide for the number OF
American troops 1t is expected will
be in France by the end of the year.
the commissioner stated that he
would require certain quantities of
supplies. among the other articles
listed being 200 tons of chocolate.
fifty tons Of cocoa, and large guam
titles of gum, tooth brushes, and
miscellaneous supplies. The commits
sioner's cable stated that, in the con-
fusion of battle, troops in many
cases have entirely lost their per-
sonal belongings; and the same thing
is invariably true of men sent to the
hospitals. A supply of the articles
named, in the hands of the Red Cross,
is particularly desirable.
Originally 1t was intended that the
great quantities of jam required for
relief work should be produced by
the Red Cross chapters in this coun-
try, but ii was found. on considera-
tion, that the fruit season will have
passed before q separate production
can be developed. The commissioner
to France has been advised of this
fact: and he has been assured that
a program will be made for the pro-
duction of jam early next year, IL it
iS then desired. To meet the pres
ent situation certain quantities of
jam may be purchased in the open
market.
The war council has appropriated
the sum OF $564,TS0 for the purchase
OF chocolate. cocoa, ] 100000 pack
ages of chewing gum, and other
miscellaneous supplies to be distrib-
uteed to the troops in the American

THE ONION AND THE. PARsNIP
BY W. r. GILBERT.

| Onions can never have too rich q
soil for their requirements. Parsnips
can, and all we want for the latter is
a deeply titled plot in fairly good
earth, to which no fresh manure has
recently been added.
This, given fairly dry weather con-
ditions, should be made ready as early
as possible, as the sooner the seeds
are got in, with safety, the better the
chances win be for their developing
into shapely, disable roots Of good size.
As a matter of fact, we never see
parsnips too big, provided the roots
are clean and shapely, but understood
specimens with possible prongs to
their bodies are hardly worth the dig
ging.
Most of the pronging, possibly all of
1t, arises from the prepared oil. If
white sand can be had to incorporate
with the soil. it should be freely used.
In digging, two splits at least are
necessary, and il the grower chooses
to go another foot he will be repaid
for his trouble.
After digging dry day and dry soil
should be given for working the whole
with a digging fork; after that some
little consolidation of the surface will
be necessary to prevent sinking into
hollows during the process of sowing.
For this the surface must be sutfi-
GENTLY dry to prevent all suspicion of
clinging to the feet, and if you cannot
have those happy conditions just at
the time wanted, you must wait for
them.
Drills about two inches In depth
should-be drawn for the seeds, and as
we want really food roots. the drills
may well be drawn IS inches apart.
In these the seeds should be sown
thinly, and the error of putting in so
seeds where but one is wanted should
not be so common. Allowance must,
of course, be made for failures, but
two seeds should never touch. or the. 4.
is trouble for the thinner, who, in pull
ing one is apt to pull both.
Those who glory in the big onion
have the ground fattened up for its
delectation long beforehand, but per-
sonally I do not care for the Goliaths
of this vegetable, medium sized good
keepers being all that is necessary.
Even these, however, are not above
seeking the good things of plant life
and using them when found.
The onion is a deeper roofing sub
Jet than many are aware of and al
though all we want is above ground,

desirable.

PLANT TREES AND sHRUBBERY

If you are planning to plant orna-
mental trees and shrubs plant in
groups, always leaving an open space
for grass.
Cut-leaved birch is a favorite tree
for planting on the home grounds. It
is pyramidal in shape, with dropping
branches.
TIE Japanese naples are very beau
tiful small srees in bush form with
vivid coloring os cut leaves.
Many shrubs are more beautiful in
foliage than in flowe- and some Of
them carry their fruits through the
winter in bright colors.
in setting trees or shrubs make a
b3le wide enough so that the roots can
be spread out, avoiding twisting and
crowding as much as possible. Work
the soil in about the roots, leaving no
space, and packing firmly.
Avoid planting trees between the
house and the street in such manner
as to hide the view from the windows
and doors. To obstruct the. outlook is
very annoying to those confined to the
house. Trees and shrubbery should be
placed so as to form background or
setting for the dwelling.-E. v. B.
