How far apart should rows in the vegetable or cutting garden be planted? There is no standard an- swer to this question. Market grow CTS may plant radishes, for ex- ample, in rows that vary from two inches apart, in rich, mellow, weed less soil, to three feet, where 1t is desired to cultivate them with horse or tractor.
 The home garden, which can be watered when necessary, and sup piled with plant food as required, should be laid out chiefly for con- venience in cultivating; except that vine and bushy crops should have the room they need to develop For the leaf and root crops. dwarf peas and beans, and most flowers, the width between rows may be equal to the space you can culti- yate with one trip of the wheel hoe, or whatever cultivator you may use. This is likely to be IS inches.
 Taller growing vegetables, cab- bages, cauliflowers and tomatoes, should have up to twice as much; and vine crops four to six feet. It does not pay to crowd. Above all. whatever spacing you decide upon,

 Some crops the directions tell you to SOW in hills" Except in regions of heavy rainfall and poor drainage, this does not mean an elevation. It simply means that sev- eral seeds are sown in a group (to be thinned out later> and the groups are spaced some distance apart, in contrast to the continuous drill"

 By holding the packet as shown in the illustration, and tapping 1t gently with the forefinger, the seed can be made to drop evenly in the row, and the sand will prevent sow- too quickly.
 After sowing rake soil over the seeds and tamp it down with the foot or hoe blade. Soil and seed must be in close contact, so that when germination starts food in liquid form may be extracted from the soil to nourlsh the growing plant.

 Fought Night Day
 For four days and nights we walked and fought on and around that mountain, often in six inches of snow," one said. "Once we reached the peak, climbing like mountain goats, to act as rear guard for the withdrawal of our main body of troops. When the order came for us to withdraw we got mules from Grfeek peasants, loaded them with anti-tank guns and other equipment, and set out When thirsty we ate snow; when ex- hausted we slept on the snow for an hour or two and continued on our way. One. night we had only 10 minutes rest"
 The Australians narrative was in- terrupked several times by passing bombers. Frequently we had to bury our faces In the Red River mud as sticks of bombs exploded nearby.
 Another of the Australians had been sent to reinforce Q pass through which the main North South railway ran, by the sea east of Olympus. The sector was held by New Zealanders.
 In Dangerous Spot
 "As soon as we arrived we were put in @ fighting patrol 500 yards from a river separating us from the Fritizies," the Australian said. There were hills to our right and left. We used out tommy (sub- machine) guns in our first contact, while our tank guns pumped at a Panzer division trying to break through our line.
 "The enemy infantry consisted of picked mountain troops.
 "Our machine guns gave the tanks and infantry Q terrific clustering when they tried to cross the river. Wheneve ra Jerry tank got hit, the enemy infantry was exposed to our fire and they quickly hopped away"
 He said his unit fought at that sector from noon one day until nearly midnight the next.
 "New Zealanders manning field and anti-tank guns did fine work" !" he said. We could see the shells leave the muzzles and Q second later, hit the tanks. One tank went up like an exploding ammunition factory when @ shell hit 1t. There was Q big column of smoke and nothing moved from the wreckage. Another tank was caught by an anti tank shell and all its occupants were killed"
