YOUR GARDEN
Ornamental Gourds Give Color To Garden, House And Porch
BY HENRY L. FREE Written for NEA

Ornamental gourds can be grown for pleasure and for profit. The soft shell gourds (cucurbita pepo) is probably the most popular. They are yellow lowered, blooming in the daytime and produce an abund- ance of fruit of varying size and colors, some smooth and some wart- ed. These are used for table and mantel decorations, and when dry may be shellacked. waxed or paint ed to prolong their usefulness.
 The hard shell Qagenaria) are white lowered and bloom at night. The fruits vary from light to dark green in color and are much larger than the soft shell varieties. They are most useful for bird houses, dippers, bowls and many novelties. The lagenarias are rampant grow CTS. often running 30 to 40 feet and covering the ground or fence with dense mass of foliage.
 Gourds may be planted as late as June and will grow in any rich soil suitable for squash or cucum- Der and their cultivation is the same, even to the pests. Gourds require plenty of sunshine and, while they will grow on the ground, welcome real support upon which to cling. This pre- vents the gourds for touching the ground and becoming bruised and fiiscolored, After vines lave run several feet the ends may be clipped, thus forcing lateral growth

Responding to appeals for help from dairy farmers, the Connecti- cut Womerl's Land Army is concen- trating its training program this year exclusively on dairy farm work. A two weeks free training course for women dairy workers will start at the University of Connecticut on Monday, May 26, to be repeated for a second group starting June Il.
 Mrs. Joseph W. Alsop, director of the Connecticut Women's Land Army, explained today that not only is the demand for full-tiYne help on dairy farms most acute, but dairying is a type of work which women have demonstrated they can do we'll The first course offered for women in the summer of 1942 cov- cred Q variety of farm jobs. The training program in 1943 was limit ed to dairy and poultry work. This year, all those who registered in ad- vance elected to take the dairy course.
 There are vacancies, Mrs. Alsop, said, in both of the training pe- riods, and applications will be ac- cepted up to the start of either course. Headquarters of the Land Army are at the Connecticut War Council offices in the State Ar Ynory at Hartford. All expenses of the training are paid by federal funds appropriated for the purpose. Trainees, in turn, sign up to work approximately three months. The minimum age is IT, although ex- ception can be made for 16-year- old girl who is strong enough to do the work.
 Mrs. Alsop reported that IA girls, some of them trained last year at Storrs or at the Farmingdale, L. I. Land Army school, are now work ing on Connecticut farms in full- time jobs, most of them having stayed on the farm through the past winter. Five other girls, who worked on farms last summer, have decided to go into agriculture as a life work and are taking four-year agricultural courses at the Univer- sity of Connecticut and at Cornell.
 A recent placement was Phyllis Brooks, of Unionville, now working on the farm of Admiral Thomas Hart in Sharon. Miss Brooks, anxious to start work without wait ing for the training course at Storrs, was sent to Farmingdale for training.
 Girls enrolled in the course at Storrs will arrive on Sunday, and will start their work at 5:15 Mon- day morning, milking time at the college barn. They will live at the Old House dormitory, as other groups have before them, and will have their meals in the university cafeteria.
 Registered to date, are:
 Mary Crocker Hogg, Milton, Mass. and Molly Gardner, Norwich, Vt, students at Smith College; Eliza beth Allen, Wellesley Hills, Mass,

 Most home gardeners in Conn ticut buy tomato plants rather t4s0 attempting to grow their own. Ee< rieties recommended by pIofer Wilkinson are Bonny Best, Sc1t'e1 Dawn, Prichard, and Marelobe 1sE early tomatoes while R1i1
 Greater Baltimore and Stone sfo recommended for the main crop ana for late planting.
 MT. Wilkinson predicts that tneE1 will be a big increase this year in home canning and juicing Of to4 matoes. For either purpose ne recommends Rutgers above all other varieties. He contends that tl1ea9 tomotoes are less acid and haxt somewhat fewer seeds than moss varieties. Rutgers is a firm, fleslN type of red tomato.
 Both large and small plants should be avoided, Mir. Wilkinson contends. Plants eighteen inches tall may look sturddy but are likely to be Sappy and weak through be- ing kept too long in the greenhouse. Small plants may not possess enough vigor for transplanting out doors. Plants from ten to twelve inches tall and with stems about as thick as a common leadpencil ara advised. The leaves should be large. well spread and of good green color.
 While potted plants are best to grow they are also most expensive. If plants are purchased in flats the grower can soak down the soil, cut intoblocks and with care can trans plant the soil with the plant. Flats should contain not more than fifty plants; otherwise the plants will be too crowded for best growth.
 The Extension Service of the Uni- versity of Connecticut has a 12- page bulletin, Tomatoes, for free distribution. This gives complete directions for growing including such practices as stalking, training, spacing, fertilizing and pest control. The War Gardens bulletin, which was widely distributed by the Con- necticut War Council, contains briefer instructions for growing to- matoes. Either of these bulletins may be obtained free from the Ex- tension Service, Storrs, Connecticut, or from any of the County Extension Offices at the Farm Bureaus.
