No garden can be successful unless 1t is properly planned and the soil prepared to receive the seed.
 Assuming that the land you are aoing to use has never been culti- NateC, the first thing is thoroughly L. clear it of all rubbish, stones and weeds. Rake these off and then s-ade. If there ha !e been piles of lime, or other building substances on the soil see that these are scat tered over the entire area so that there will not be any one spot which is impregnated with lime and the like. Spade to a depth of at least 8 foot, or more, and remove all Jumps and rock. If the growing weeds are not too large they may be spaded under and allowed to decay, thereby fertilizing the soil.
 After the first spadihg the soil should be allowed to stand so that it may become thoroughly aired. Mix in your fertilizer and spade it into the already pulverized earth. This is extremely important.
 When the earth is thoroughly broken up look well to its leveling. If it is located on hillside let it slope in conformity to the natural where it is necessary to irrigate, it Is better to make your garden into beds, having trough-like spaces sur rounding and running through the beds in which you can run water when the land becomes dry. 1rriga- lion is far superior to sprinkling.
 In starting any plants from seeds, whether vegetables or flowers. two or three things are necessary for suc-
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-05-03

cess. The soil should be light and
 porous and well pulVerized. The
 seeds are really little eggs and, like
 other eggs, must have a certain
 amount of moisture and heat. If
 the ground becomes dry and hard
 or packed and soaked with water. they cannot get AIR which is neces- Sary for their germination; and if | the soil is allowed to get too dry,
 even for few hours, just as they
 are starting, it will kill the little
 plantlets before they appear upon
 the surface. So there are three
 things to be remembered: Do not plant the seeds too deep, so as to smother them be- fore they can reach the surface. Do not allow them to dry out, so as to kill them just after , l they come up.
 3-Plant them at the proper season, not too early and not too late.
 In selecting what you are going to
 grow be sure to plant only those
 vegetables which you and your fam- fly like, and if there is sufficient sur plus do what your country has re- | Quested-can 1t for winter use. This year every family should | have a potato patch, if nothing else. Potatoes will permit you to decrease your consumption of wheat. They are easily grown and require little
 work A small potato patch will furnish a family with fine quantity and quality of food and will help
 your country. No matter what else
 you raise. be sure your garden in- -cludes potatoes. ...- .ll-.L----

APRIL MONTH
 HELD RECORD
 FOR RECRUITS

New Haven, May 3.---The month of April broke all records this year for army recruiting in Connecticut 300 recruits outside the draft age having been accepted at the recruiting sta tions in this city, New London, Hart ford, Waterbury and Bridgeport.
 Fifty-five were rejected for defec- tive vision, teeth and minor defects. New Haven city led the state with 42 recruits; Hartford second, 34; Bridge port third, B; Waterbury fourth, 25; New London, next with 16; Meriden, 13; Manchester, P; New Britain, 10; lMiddletown, '; the rest from 50 other cities and towns. Approximately 800 men applied for enlistment, a number promising to go in May.
 Fifty-seven recruits went into the medical department, 51 in cavalry, 51 in field artillery, 25 in Coast artillery, 24 quartermaster corps, 21 infantry, IA engineers, quartermaster corps of national army, ' signal corps, in tank service and remainder scattered.
 1t is believed that the wonderful fighting of the Connecticut boys on battle field in France has stirred the patriotism of the boys back nome They are stepping to the front ir large numbers and Major W. A Mer- cer commanding Connecticut ddstr1ct looks for bigger rush in May. Every branch, aviation excepted, is still oper to men not registered in the select1v' draft. The latter cannot be accepted at army recruiting stations.
 Many boys, who will be in the mex draft registration, are now joining thu colors instead of waiting to be regis tered. All boys under 21 years of az should bring birth certificates to tn recruiting stations, if possible. It ha been found that many boys under years of age have been getting int army. This spirit is to be commende but Uncle Sam still has enough olde nephew5 left to take care of tn Kaiser. Little boys should stay hom with their mothers, say recruitin men.
