AEROPLANE Gun
new TO YANKEE
Who COT BOCHE
(BY the Associated Press.l

With the American Army in
France, Feb. 8-The young American
lieutenant who had the honor of
shooting down his first German aero
plane while accompanying a French
escadrille on bombing expedition on
Tuesday night had never operated a
machine gun before in his life while
in flight, and never before had been
over the enemy lines He got his
man over the German city of Saar-
burg.
The bombing squadron was over
Saarburg and in the act of dropping
bombs when enemy aeroplanes were
seen approaching rapidly. By the
time the bomb dropping had been
completed the enemy was close at
hand and the French formation
which this American and another
American had accompanied as gun
ners, was at an altitude of 10000
feet.
The lieutenant, who is a Missourian
took off his gloves so that he might
operate his machine gun more effec-
lively when he saw an enemy plane
driving in from the side and firing its
gun. The bullets whizzed close tc
the French machine before the Ameri
can, acting as gunner, could get hi.
| piece into action. Then he turned
a stream of bullets into the enemy
and before the first drum was ex
hausted the German machine topple:
and started to spiral. Then it flop
ped and fluttered down with a far,
! of smoke and flame in its wake. 1
crashed to the ground a short dis
lance from the German city.
The other American aviator, also
/ lieutenant, was not so lucky, for tn
machine that he picked out to engag
lodged away quickly and he was I'm
4 able to get in any effective shots.

USE FERTILIZER
ONHOME GARDENS
URGES COUNCIL
Agricultural Experts Say No
Garden Should Be Planted
Until Manure Is Spread.

'eNo home garden should be plant
ed this year without a preliminary
application of fertilizer" says the
Home Gardens department Of the
Committee of Food Supply of the
Connecticut State Council of Defense
In communities where it can be Sc
cured, fine, well rotted manure should
be spread after blowing at the rate
of one or two wagon loads to every
5000 square feet. Where manure
CO mot be obtained, fertilizer alone is
quite satisfactory if properly applied.
Fer general garden crops a CONNER
ciaI fertilizer carrying 4 per cent. nj
trogen and 10 per cent. phosphorio
acid IS the best obtainable this year.
The Home Gardens department re-
ceived word from Waterbury today
that an instructor in agriculture to
have charge of the home garden
campaign has been employed begin
ming February 1. The Chamber of
Commerce and the school authorities
are working to coordinate the move
ments of the Boy Scouts, the adult
gardeners, and all other home garden
projects in order that they may have
the benefit of first class supervision.
The Home Gardens department is
urging that seeds be ordered at once.
Prof. A. 7. Stevens of the Connect
cut Agricultural college, reporting
for the department, suggests ordering
~ communities, so that the seedsmen
may have opportunity to ship in
quantities. Transportation difficult
ties are pointed out as making early
orGering imperative.
The manual of information which
was forwarded to the various local
communities in charge Of home gar
den work is being followed by man
UaI for the home gardener. This man
ual which has been prepared by the
experts of the Connecticut Agricul-
tdral College and the New Haven ex-
pertinent station is in the hands Of
the printer and will be available foI
distribution before long.
"Grow staple food crops" says the
Home Gardens Department, in order
that the market gardeners may be
least interfered with and in order that
the maximum amount of food be pro-
duced. Peas, onions, cabbage, beets-
carrots, potatoes, turnips, kohl rabbi,
snap and shell beans, sweet corn, and
tomatoes, with a hill or two of win
ter squash, is suggested as a good
combination for the family garden
