POINTS ON GARDEN PLANNING
industrious Soil Worker Should Make
Plans on Paper While Ground
Is Frozen.

A garden laid out according TO plan
usually gives twice as many returns
besides saving a lot of time in figuring
out where to plant and what to plant
next. Take a tape or yard stick and
measure off the garden. Draw it to
scale on paper and figure out while
the ground is still frozen just where
everything is to go and what crops
are to succeed others.
A surprisingly large amount of vege-
tables can be grown in even this small
space.
1t is we'll to decide upon two main
crops which may be grown at the same
time or as succession. Tomatoes and
string beans offer a good solution with
radishes, lettuce and young onions as
the first crop, the tomatoes and beans
to follow. The beans taking compare
lively little nourishment from the soil
compared with other vegetables may
be grown in rows between the toma-
toes, which should be placed three feet
apart each way and trained to single
stems tied to stout stakes at least five
feet high. When the string beans have
been harvested there will be oppor-
tunity to follow with crops of turnips
or carrots for fall. A dozen tomato
plants can be grown in this space,
leaving plenty of room for the other
crops between the rows.

SOME AIDS TO THE PL0WMAN
Fence Made in Sections Can Be Easily
Removed and Prevent Unplowed
Sections

When you engage a plowman to
pillow the garden in the spring of the
year he generally has to drag or carry
his pillow into the garden by hand,
then lead the horse or the team in
through a narrow gate. When he
starts to pillow the fence is in the
way of turning, and it is impossible
to pillow within several feet of the
fence at the ends of the garden.
Why not make it easy for the plow-
man and at the same time get a bet
ter job of blowing by having the part
Of the garden fence across the ends
made in sections that may be lifted
from the posts and set to one side
while the blowing is being done? This
permits the team being driven into the
garden easily, also makes it possible
to pillow all the way to the fence line
After the blowing is done the fence
can be put back in place until next
time it is in the way of blowing or
cultivation.

SHADE TREES THAT
WILL BEAR FRUIT
Home Owner Should Consider
All Phases of the Situation
When Planting.

Trees and decorative shrubbery are
about the first things the new home
owner gives attention when planning
the exterior of his home. That is a
matter to be, or which should be, given
careful attention, for trees and shrubs
live great many years and are sell
dom transplanted.
1t Is we'll to give thought to what
trees will produce-when it is decided
where they are to be planted.
Where are many people who will not
plant a tree that does not produce
more than pretty leaves-they demand
trees that will produce fruit or nuts
something useful-in addition to the
shade.
There are numerous of the fruit tree
family that produce splendid shade,
and it is seldom that a fruit tree is
Objectionable when it is laden with its
fragrant blossoms, and later, its rich
ly colored fruit; although the rear
yard, or garden space, Is usually
chosen, perhaps because of better op.
portunity for cultivation.
Nut trees make splendid shade
trees and many of them produce with.
in few years-and nuts are vel
coined by nearly every family.
Mulberry trees afford a most wei
come early fruit, which is equal to the
raspberry or blackberry. The only OBJ.
| lection to this fruit is that it is vel
coined more by the birds, which be.
come a nuisance; but the shade OF
some varieties is equal to chat of the
maple.
The peach tree is one of the most
graceful of the fruit tree family, and
would be decorative in the front yard
| Its blossom is rich and the fruit is
| pretty, besides being valuable.
There are numerous dwarf apple
trees that would not be Objectionable
in the front or side yards.

DESERVING OF HIGH HONORS
Doctor Wagner of the Darmstadt ger
many Experiment Station Has
Done Much for Agriculture.

Fifty years ago DR.. Paul Wagner be-
came director of the experiment sta
ton at Darmstadt, which had just
been founded, and has since won
for this institution a world renown,
through his investigations on plant
foods. Doctor Wagner certainly de-
serves to receive great commentator
for having, with the help of his own
method of pot experiments, substan-
TALLY extended, and firmly established
the foundation for the use of CONNER
cial fertilizers.
He was the first to recognize and
correctly estimate the fertilizing eff
feet of the Thomas phosphate or basic
Stag.
By a steady Improvement in the
methods of fertilizing experiments in
the field. he succeeded in making Of
these field experiments a practical
means of exact investigation.
Doctor Wagner, furthermore, has
clearly shown the results of his in
vestigatiOns in the vegetation house,
field and laboratory, TO the practical
farmer, either in articles which are
easily understood, or in inspiring lee
lures and in this way he has contrib
uted in an enormous degree toward
the proper use of commercial fertilizers
in agriculture.
Here in the United States many Of
Doctor Wagner's articles are known,
having been translated. or summarized
by numerous writer's, to the great adj
vantage of American agriculture.

such as arranging for the use of land
or purchasing materials. A member
ship fee of so cents to 81 is frequently
paid. A director, business manager,
general supervisor or treasurer of the
club should be elected, and in many
cases it is well to hire trained garden
specialist to give instruction, at least
at the start, thinks the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Where a group of gardens is located
on one piece of land, it is often neces-
sary TO provide special means for
financing the cleaning up of the land,
blowing and fitting the soil, and later
for the policing of the gardens to pre-
vent losses from theft or stray stock.
Clubs consisting of neighbors who
plant gardens in their back yards must
include provision for rendering a dis
tinct service to their members. This
service consists of the purchase OF
manure for fertilizer, blowing, supply
ing seeds or early plants. In few
instances the spraying Of crops to con-
troll insects and diseases has been han
died in a cooperative way, applying
the spray wherever needed.

HOW TURTLES FIND THE SEA
Explanation, According to Harvard
Scientist, Is Their Tendency to
Travel Down Hill.

Why loggerhead turtles readily find
their way to the sea soon after hatch
ing. has been discovered by George III.
Parker of the geological department.
of Harvard university. These rep
tiles are Matched inland, and soon after
birth crawl out of their nests, he ex-
plains. Then with few exceptions
they Immediately start their journey
il the exact direction of the sea.
The most important reason for this
behavior of the turtle is their ten
dency to go down hill, Mr.. Parker be-
lieves. They also sho--- an inclination
to move toward regions in which the
horizon is clear and unobstructed by
large masses. And blue areas seem
to attract them more than other colOrs.
Their actions should be regarded more
complex than a simple response to
light, for the retina of their eyes re-
spond to the details, such as blue
color, rather than to the image as q
whole.

WAS THE FIRST AERIALIST
Flying Squirrel May Be Said to Have
Been Forerunner OF Parachute
and Machine.

No, we are not referring to birds,
we mean that shy creature, the flying
squirrel. He was the first aerialist
and was the forerunner of the para
chute and the flying machine, asserts
a writer in Our Dumb Animals. 1t is
probable that he taught early expert
mentors as much about flying as did
birds. Do you know any other four
footed animal that flies This SPUR
rel is by nature a fiy-by-night, as he
does most of his flying after dark, al
though he will fly in the daytime if oc-
casion arises. Woodsmen saving
down trees have seen them appear
fro,, hole in dead limb and fly
out to safety before the tree fell. This
little animal uses his tail as a rudder
to guide him in his flight. He is able
to fly because of membranes connect
ing feet and legs on either side. Some
flying squirrels are reddish colored,
while others are gray. They are said
to make good pets.
