GARDEN TALKS
BY
w. l.. Mecklenburg

AS soon as the location for the gar
den is selected and plan made show
ing the kinds of vegetables to be grown
and the places for planting them, the
question Of varieties should be decided
A number Of points should be considl
cred in selecting the varieties to grow.
among them being time OF maturity,
the adaptation of the variety to the To-
cal conditions. and the quality of vege-
tables produced. Usually it is better to
select only standard varieties that do
well in this locality, but a few novel;
ties may be tried in a small way, Only
early varieties of late maturing vege-
tables should be grown here.
1t is advisable to procure seed only
from reliable scotsman. a good plan
is to secure several descriptive cata-
logues, either from reliable local deal
ers or from other good seed houses
These catalogues should be secured
previous to the time of planting, and
careful selections should be made al
leisure moments.
Buy only first class seed. forinfe-
rior seed will be expensive at any
price Good seed should have IA hiel
percentage Of termination and strong
vitality. 1t should be true to type and
free from weed seed and other impuri-
, ties. For general purposes the size OF
| the seed is of little consequence. Sinai
seed Will produce as thrifty plants as
large seed, but ii Is conceded by mos'
authorities that large seeds will pro-
duce plants somewhat earlier.
Buy only the quantity of seeds actu.
,, ally needed for your garden. Plant tn,
seeds thickly enough so as to secur,
a good stand Of vegetables allowing i
moderate amount Of thinning, but d.
not waste any seed. Owing 10 tn,
large number of gardens that will b,
planted this year, it is anticipated thai
there will be shortage of the com.
mon seeds. The situation is not criti.
/ cal, however, and IL everyone is con.
| serving there will be enough for all.
In case there is any doubt about The
termination percentage of the seeds i
| should be determined by termination
tests. A simple test is to place so OF
| 100 seeds on a plate between two mois
| blotting papers, and cover with another
| plate. Keep at ordinary room tempera
lures. By looking at the seeds ever,
day, the promptness and percentage %
termination can be ascertaincd. Goot
grades Of most garden seed shout,
terminate go to SIS per cent In five o
| six days. Seeds that send out stron,
sprouts in few days have the vitalit.
necessary to insure good stand o

Land Where Babies Never Die
Many Lessons New Zealand Can Teach America in the
care of Infants Lives

is therefore not an insuperable OBJ
Stacle in your fight for healthier ba-
bies and a lower death rate. On the
contrary. it will prove perhaps a real
advantage, If in the United States you
leave no stone unturned to do justice
to the mother and the child.
And this, as l have said again and
again. is essentially a question of the
proper education and training of girls
and of mothers--mothers potential and
actual.
First, of course, we must find out
those things which, under conditions
of modern civilization will make chill
dren healthy whether in town or coun-
try: and secondly, we must get the par
ents to apply that knowledge We must
overcome the enervating tendencies of
civilization but we must never yield
to the notion that the difficulties are
insuperable.
You have at your command in Amer
lea, ready TO put into practice, all the
knowledge needed concerning infant
welfare. What we learned in large
measure. in New Zealand, was the re-
suit of the research and study and ex-
periments and practice of your doctors
your university professors, of the work
done in your colleges and hospitals
Under the scientific investigators who
are devoting themselves to infant well
fare research today in the United
States results Of the. utmost impor-
lance are being achieved. and this side
OF the question must never be neglect
ed or lost sight of merely because it is
not SO much in evidence.
All the material for unlimited prog
ress is at hand here in America. 1t Is
only a question of bringing knowledge
to bear upon the problem with the full
force of a united public opinion enthu
siastically behind it. That is what
we have largely achieved in New Zea
land 1t is that which has made our
record in baby saving SO outstanding
We have not been content with educat-
ing few mothers here and there, but
we have got the entire community
aroused to the vital importance of the
| work. Adding such work to what Is
! already being done here, l see no rea
! son whatever why as good or even bet
ter results in regard to infant welfare
! and baby-saving may not be achieved
! in the United States.

How to Save Wheat

With the accommodating shortage of
wheat, conservation will have to be
even more strenuous in the near future
than it has been in the past. The I'D
ministration depends largely upon the
housewives to accomplish this.
Patriotic women in general have ir
.roduced substitutes in the culinary
department Of the home, and the pantry
shelf no longer holds the single tin
marked flour" Rye. corn. buck
wheat, graham and the cereals have
taken the place of wheat flour in bak =
ing, and domestic science experts have
produced delicious recipes for these
substitutes so there is no reason why
greater conservation of wheat should
be a hardship to us.
With the coming of summer. vege
| tables can serve as a means for saving
wheat. 1t has been estimated that II
| the 45,000,00O who live on farms will
consume twice as many vegetables
during the summer as ordinarily, q
saving of 20.000,000 bushels of whea,
will be accomplished. Now add to this
| the millions OF amateur gardeners who
will raise vegetables this summer, and
| can easily double their usual consump.
| ton. and then consider the city dwcllel
who will have no difficulty in secur,
ing fresh vegetables daily. With thi,
united force we surely should be abb,
to save the wheat necessary to sustain
the allied army.
| Even IL you increase your portions
of potatoes a bit it will help wonder
fully. Mr. Hoover has stated that j
le"ery American will consume fou
LOUNGES more potatoes per day thi
would equal 100000 bushels of wheat
Some house wives who have discarde'
the flour in baking still use 1t for othe
purposes, such as making gravies. etc
but here, too. conservation can be aug
mented. For thickening gravies an
soups. corn starch will answer tn
purpose and will insure smoot
grayy-the corn starch must first
dissolved in cold water.

Three German Submarines Sunk
BY Liverpool Trade Steamers

LIVERPOOL. March s.A(Corres
pondeut Of The Associated Press)--
Three Liverpool steamers have sunk
three German submarines In the At
lantic recently and It is now permitted
to relate the circumstances.
In the nrst instance. a Liverpool
steamer was fired upon by a subma.
rine in the Atlantic at daybreak. The
steamer paid no heed to the shots and
kept on its course. The submarine
followed cautiously steaming along
the surface, keeping up long range
bombardment for an hour and a half
Suddenly the ship slowed down and
the boats lowered, apparently indicat.
ing that the captain had received all
the punishment he wanted and was
abandoning his ship. The submarine
commander, fearful of a trap, circled
around the ship several times and
then came closer to the vessel.
The last act came very swiftly.
There was a sharp sound Of falling
timbers, as false side dropped away
and then six explosions as a gun,
spoke six times. Four Of the shots hit
the mark, three of them destroying
the coming tower and the other dis
abling the German gun. The subma-
rine's bow rose high in the air and

then slipped down into the water like
gigantic dart.
A second liverpool steamer was
outbound st a speed Of eight knots an
hour when a torpedo passed twenty
feet astern. AS the vessel was turned
second torpedo missed her bow.
The periscope was observed a quar-
ter of q mile away and the gun crew
began firing. The first shot went too
high. but the second and third ex-
ploded on hitting the enemy, which
disappeared amid a great pool OF bub-
bles and oil.
A sailing ship accounted for the
third submarine. The ship was fired
upon by a U-boat just before noon.
AS the German came within range his
fire was answered. the sailing vessel
firing thirteen shots. The chief gun
ner was former petty officer In the
British navy and he scored eight bulls
eyes in space Of less than two min
utes. His report says:
1.-THE bow Of the submarine disap-
peared and the stern rose clear out
Of the water. She remained in this
position for about fifteen seconds and
then disappeared. A minute later the
stern and rudder came up again and
remained steady above the water at
an angle Of thirty degrees for few
seconds before passing finally from
view"
