GARDEN NOTES
" M. A. c. Horticultural Dept.

Nothing pays better than thorough
soil preparation for vegetable crops.
A fine, deep, well-firmed seed bed is
essential. Early planting is one OF
the secrets to success in growing head
lettuce. May King and Mignonette
are good early varieties for the home
garden. Try Big Boston or Cali
fornia Cream for late.
Melons and cucumbers planted now
in pots, berry boxes, or inverted sods
should be about the proper size for
setting in the garden any time after
May 25th.
Smooth seeded varieties of garden
peas are best for extra early planting.
The wrinkled seeded sorts should be
planted little later. Try these for
a succession: Alaska, first early)
American Wonder, Motifs Excelsior,
Gradus, Champion of England ire
quires some support).
Early planted radishes often es-
cape the maggets. Scarlet Globe,
White Icicle, and Scarlet Turnip
White Tipped are good.
Don't leave heavy mulch on the
strawberry bed too long. The plants
may smother. 1t is not necessary to
remove the mulch entirely from the
bed; simply pull it away from over
the tops of the plants into the row.
Don't let the weather fool you
The average date for the last killing
frost in southern Michigan is about
May 10. Don't plant beans and Other
tender crops too early.

URGE PHYSICAL EXAMS
FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN

Lansing, April 21.-If little Willie
or Susie have been failing in their
school work, or merely passing "by
the skin of their teeth" in some sub
iects, let the family physician give
them a thorough physical examlna-
ton, advise officials of the Michigan
department of health.
General physical examinations OF
school children, between now and the
end of the school year, are urged by
the public health authorities in order
that dangerous remedial defects, and
correctable physical conditions may
be remedied during the summer vaca-
ton. Such a procedure, it is pointed
out, will improve the health OF COM
munities and help raise next years
class ratings for Willie and Susie.
"Scarlet fever, diphtheria, and
other diseases have been unusually
prevalent in nearly every part OF the
state; many children have lost time
from school on account of sickness
which may have left marks affecting
the health of those that apparently
recovered; and the lowered physical
resistance of thousands of children
has rendered them peculiarly suscept-
ibIe to tuberculosis" contends DR.. X.
M. Olin, commissioner Of health.
"These circumstances, together
with the fact that a large percentage
of children are working under avoid
able handicaps of bad throats, vision
hearing, and teeth" says DR.. Ohn!
"would indicate that parents should
have their children carefully exam
ined."
