Garden Sprinklinu Harmful.

Watering a plant or a garden space
by s%prinkling is usually more harmful
than helpful, inasmuch as it induces
the growth, up in the moistened area,
Of fine feeding rootlets that should be
deep in the ground, says Woman's
Home Companion. These, reaching in
q network "a the surface for the
moisture, find themselves exposed to
the fierce and baking heat of midsum-
mer whenever the moisture dries out,
and dry out it will. They are unable
to bear this %scorching, being extremely
tender and demanding cool earth
around them, and the result is either
death to the plant or so weakened and
miserable a condition that it might as
well die.
This surface watering by u hose or
hand bears no relation, Of course, to
a thorough saturation as Il system of
irrigation makes possible. But unless
such u system Is installed, l would
urge every gardener In the country to
pin his faith to the c%ultivutor and his
own industry Herewith, rather than
to any method of watering by hand
Certain things may be "watered In
when tr%ansplantlng; but otherwise
eschew the hose and watering can.

1t was Of course in the nature of an

on reading that notice how on earth
the owner Of the premises could tell
whether his order got obeyed or not.
Curiosity, however, did not go so

ADDED TO NATIONS WEALTH
Home Gardens Have Been Of Great
r Benefit Both to the Country and
to Communities.

The campaign SO persistently con-
Quoted last spring and summer to en-
list families in the home garden move
ment a be said to have been an ex-
traordinary success. The estimate that
$350,OO0,0O0 worth Of produce has been
raised in war gardens in the United
States this year and that housewives
have canned at least 460,OOO,000 jars
of vegetables and fruits is impressive.
The figures, of. course, cannot be any
where near exact, but there can be no
question that the total amount of food
stuffs produced has been enormous,
and they are probably not excessive.
All of it was a clear addition to the
wealth and resources of the nation.
Thus, labor and land that had for
merly gone unused brought practi-
cal benefit to the laborer and the ma
ton. The investment has paid SO
well that it ought to be repeated on
a more extensive scale next year. Hun
dreds of families who never had a gar
den before have enjoyed fresh vege-
tables from their home yards this sum-
mer. Many Of them have learned some
thing of the art of gardening and have
become keenly interested in it. All
j We benefited physically from inter
. ling work in the open air.
These need not be advised to plan
Tor a bigger garden next year. But

incidence, failed to realize the profits
Of gardening this year should start
