BREAD BIG FACTOR
 IN CUNTS HEALTH
Raymond Bakers of Wa terbury Given Formula;
 Child Care Emphasized

From the very moment of their birth, the Dionne Quintuplets have been watched by the world. AS in- fants, every ounce of weight gained, every victory over occasional ill., nesses, was the subject of newspa- per headlines. They are the first quintuplets ever known to have sur vived more than fifty minutes.
 No wonder then, that their diets have been so carefully watched Minutely kept charts have recorded every change in food and its re- suits.
 One of their most important foods introduced in their diets in the beginning of their second year-js bread. Every care was taken to see that they received the best. Those responsible for their health and well being knew there could be a vast difference in bread and they recognized, too, the value of wheat and wheat products in the diets of the Quintuplets.
 The bread they selected-bread made with CEROBREX-has proven through careful testing, that it pro- vides the full value of the wheat Through CEROBREX, concentrate of the wheat embryo, this bread re- ceives the full nutritive value of the whole wheat berry while still re- taining the tenderness and easy digeStibility of white bread. That is why it was chosen for the Dionne Quintuplets.
 The Raymond Bakers of Water bury are very proud of their ap- pointment to bake Dionne Quintu- plet Bread, made with CEROBREX for the families of this community

 structiOn PrOject-ExpOsitOn to Open April 27

The construction of field stone administration building at Camp Mattatuck in Plymouth was author ized last night at meeting of the executive board of the Mattatuck Council, Boy Scouts of America, at the Hotel Elton.

Transplanting is task which one must perform throughout the gar den year. So vigorous are the young plants which we move, so often do they survive carelessness, we are apt to neglect even the simple technique which will greatly reduce the proportion of failures.
 But failures do occur and not all result in dead plants which can be removed and replaced. Often care- less transplanting will result in an ailing plant, or one which fails to produce flowers or fruit of good quality. The following points, if carefully observed, will insure that your young plants have a reason able chance of survival.
 Dig hole large enough to spread out the roots without crowding. In the case of seedlings which have a long tap root, it will help promote stocky growth If this tap root is shortened. Avoid permitting air pockets to be formed among the roots See that soil is filled in prop erly to cover the roots, and then firm the soil. so that contact is close, since without this contact the roots cannot absorb water from the soil. Seedlings should usually be lset little deeper than they stood in the flat. In the case of over grown plants, it may be wise to lay the stem horizontally under the soil for several inches, rather than let it project above the surface; this is especially the case with toma- toes.
 Some of the top of each seeding should be trimmed of to balance the loss of roots which is inevitable when plants are moved. About half the leaf area may be removed. The soil should be soaked after the

transplanting operation is finished A little dry soil sprinkled over the surface will check evaporation. Ii the sun is hot the plants should be shaded for day or so by means of paper tents berry boxes, or similar device, until the roots begin to absorb enough moisture to bal ance corporations.
 Small seedlings may be planted in holes made by a dibber. This is steel, wood or iron tool with a round blunt point which is stabbed into the ground and twisted, much faster operation than using a troWel.
 Observe distances carefully in transplanting. The little plants may seem lonely when set two or three feet apart, but remember the size they will attain at maturity and see that they have room enough tc develop their best.
 Vigorous growth in seedlings vii be assured if plant food is applied while they are small. It will en- able them to develop a good roo; system, which will feed them well In transplanting vegetables mix thoroughly one level tablespoonful of complete plant food with the soi in the bottom of the hole before setting the plant. Then apply plan food over 8 radius two feet iron fI1a y1Ioyt ot tha rota of oy1a ro,,1,d o< teaspoonful to each square foot O. ground.
 Four to six weeks later another application of plant food at the rat of two pounds per 100 square fee may be made. This is equivalen to 6 rounded teaspoonful for tw' square feet. Apply evenly over thu soil surface except that immediatel. adjacent to the plant.
