For Victory Gardens
State Officials Worried Lest Backward Farmers
Waste Seed, Fertilizer; Valuable Time-POlicy

technical assistance will be given
to assure that results are obtained
at harvest time.
Concerned lest essential seed, fer
tilizer and manpower be wasted in
this crucial year through good-in-
tentioned but impractical home
planting, officials of several State
Defense council branches and 9TH
ers from the University of Connec-
ticut Extension Service, the FEEDER
ated Garden clubs of Connecticut,
the Connecticut Forest and Park
association and the Hartford and
New Haven park departments,
meeting at Trinity college, gave
their unqualified endorsement to
the Extension Service policy on VIC
tory gardens.
This policy, henceforth to be fol-
lowed by all cooperating agencies,
declared:
l. Experienced home gardeners,
urban or rural, should be urged to
continue and improve their gardens.
2. inexperienced gardeners should
be discouraged, because they will be
likely to waste needed supplies and
get poor results. These people, who
want to help, should be advised that
they can be of most service by vol
unteering, through the Connecticut
Land Army or otherwise, for work
on established commercial farms.
3. School and community gardens
are recommended If under the sup
ervision of experienced persons and
on soil that is adapted to vegetable
production. The All Club garden
program, under the supervision of
agents and local leaders, will be
continued and expanded.
4. People who have flower gardens
should not feel that they are being
unpatriotic if they continue to grow
flowers or carry out home grounds
improvement plans. .,
Under the program decided upon
this week, the Extension Service
will serve as the central agency for
victory garden work in Connecticut
for 1912. Men and women who have
had training or. experience in agri-
culture, particularly in vegetable
gardening, will be recruited through
local civilian defense volunteer Of
fees, and their names will be made
available to the county agricultural
agents, who may then call upon
them to serve as advisers in home
gardening work.
All inquiries regarding home gar
dens, as well as farm ardens, will
be handled by the county agents,
located at Farm Bureau offices.
They will have available for pros
pective home gardeners the FEEDER
ated Garden Clubs pamphlet,
Handbook of Vegetable Growing"
and will refer gardeners for specific
advice and assistance to the volun-
teer advisers.

Unless you have had gardening
experience, and unless your soil is

Ottawa-Women are being taken
into the Army and Air Force in
Canada today as real soldiers-in
every sense Of the word. Early in
February the military ice was
broken when members Of the Royal
Canadian Air Force, Women's Di-
vision, were first accepted as COM
ponent part Of the. service, officers
|. holding Kings Commissions and
'rating salutes from men Of lower
rank,
And now the Canadian Women's
Army Corps, until recently only an
9auxiliary, has become, in the words

Canadian Army" AS such its MEM
. bers are subject to the same disci-
pline as their male counterparts.
NO ENCOURAGEMENT
FOR LADY BLIMPS"
AS in the United States now, Cam
ada had score of northumberland
women's corps within few weeks
of the outbreak of war. Each claim
ed precedence, clamoring for sup
port In high places and curried
space in the rotogravures. The last
was easiest to get. Their woes were
legion. Take the case of the Mon
treal unit which ordered q uniform
factory to tailor tunics exactly to
regular army specifications; all had
to be sent back to provide anatom-
1cal comfort.
Several of the original units car
ny on with impressive names. But
they're fading out CT the picture as
social butterfly organizers discover
the nation is too young to encour-
lage Lady Blimps; and most of
them found uniforms didn't i'm
prove their appearance in any case.
On the other hand, the officially
recognized Canadian Women's Army
Corps and the Royal Canadian Air
Force, Women's Division, are stead
lily growing.
Exact figures on strength are not
available, but 1t is known, that the
Army Corps has at least 1000 mem

Judgment

A judgment in accordance
with an opinion of the supreme
court Of errors favoring the
city's board of tax commissioners
in an action brought by the Wa
terbury Corrugated COntainer
Co., was rendered by Judge
Frank p. McEvOy of superior
court Saturday.
The state supreme court had
reversed a judgment made earlier
by Judge Kenneth Wynne in
the local superior court in
favor Of the C0ntainer company.
The concern originally had
sought a writ of mandamus
against the board Of tax COM
misSionerS claiming that assess
ment on real estate on Water
town avenue had been increased
without notice by the city.
Judge Wynne had permitted q
reduction in the taxable amount
from $2O9,35O to $149,35O. The
supreme court ruled that valu-
alton of property by assessors
Is a discretionary matter which
cannot be controlled by manda-
mus.
