DRAINAGE FOR GARDEN LAND
1t Is Advisable to Thoroughly Drain
All Soil Inclined to Contain Too
Much Moisture.

Garden land inclined to be wet
should be thoroughly drained before
crops are planted upon it. If tile
drains or open bitches cannot be pro-
vided. the next best thing is to plant
the crops on slight ridges, so as to
get their roots above tbs water table
in the soil.

WOODBRIDGE LEGION TO

~ RRNfa Correspondent
WOODBRIDGE, March 29-Plans
were formulated on Thursday night
at the regular meeting of the local
post of the American Legion TO as
sume charge of the local Memorial
Day exercises, beginning with this
year.
In years past Memorial Day exer-
cises have been held befittingly un-
der the very able supervision of
Woodbridge Fire Company No. l.
Needing the very worthy objects for
which the American Legion has been
formed and the interest which should
manifest their participation in all
patriotic events, especially that of
Memorial Day exercises, the fire
company as well as those members
of the legion are in perfect accord
as to the part the local legion post
should play. Consequently 1t has
been decided that the local post will
assume charge on Memorial Day this
! rear with the able assistance of ex-
perience in the past from the COM
mittee Of the fire company working
in conjunction.
It has been pointed out that the
expense of holding the exercises will
far exceed that of other years and it
is to be hoped that h local Ameri-
can Legion post may except a hearty
cooperation from the t~ownspeople in
furtherance of the object and assur-
| ance Of a successful day.
