 It Is necessary to urge the gar- dener everywhere to commence his indoor digging at once, digging for information, seeds, plants, fertilizer and tools to be used to make bet ter garden. The novice gardener must be guided by the experience of his successful neighbors, the local victory garden committee, county agricultural agent, state agricultural bulletins and local Ssedsmen, nur- serymen and garden editors.
 Gardeners, experienced and nov ice alike, must take care to raise only those varieties of fruits and vegetables which are best adapted for their locality. For example, there is little excuse for planting the Oxheart tomato anywhere; 1t is notoriously unproductive. Aim to plant varieties which produce the highest quality and yield in your locality. Marglobe, Pan America and Pritchard are among the best of the long-season varieties for average soil while Rutgers is ideal for light soils, and Victor and Bounty have special merit in localities wh, the season is shorter and cooler.
 The home gardener often wastes much of the cabbages and other plants he grows because they ma ture at nearly the same time. A reasonable range in time of ma turity is desirable. So plan to gather information on dates of sowing, planting and methods of handling each kind of plant.
 Gardeners who clip and save this series of articles will have complete information on the Fundamentals ot good gardening.

WORLD
 OF MUSIC

NEW YORK-The Metropolitan Operas revival of Rimsky- Korsa- koff's Goa dor" provided one of the most interesting novelties of the season.
 The work was not only presented in its complete original form, but was heightened by the inclusion Of ballet music from Rimsky-K -Korsa- kov's "Scherezazade." In addition, 1t was sung for the first time in an English-language version by Tati- ana Balkoff Drowne.
 "Coq dor" was first given at the Metropolitan in Parisian choreo- graphic version in which 1t was acted cut by non-singing perform CTS in costume, with the vocal parts sung from the side. Later It was restored in its regular operatic form, in French, but still cut down. The cuts were made in the past to reduce the length Of the work so that 1t could be handled as part of a double bill. It was last heard here in cut form in the season of 194l-42.
 Emil Cooper, who conducted the first performance of the work in Moscow in 1909. prepared the Met ropolitan's latest version, which runs nearly three hours and pro- vices a full evenings entertain ment.
 The added ballet music was in-. troduced in the third act as part of the celebration for the return home of King Dodon and his bride. The interpolated material was en- tirely in keeping with the compos- er's score and with the spirit of the fantastic Pushkin fairy tale which his music illustrates.
 Conducted by Cooper, the pres entation was sung by cast headed by Patrice Munsel as the Queen and Norman Gordon as King Dodon.
 THE winning compositions in the Washington Chamber Music Guilds competition for string quarters by Western Hemisphere composers will be performed by the Guilds quartet at New York Town Hall recital on March 19.
 Two prizes of 5000 each were offered by RCA-Victor, under spon- sorship of the Guild. for the best string quaret composition from Latin America and the best from the United States and Canada. The winners were Carmargo Guarnieri of Brazil and Robert Doellner of Hartford, Conn.
 Mishel Piastro will conduct the New York concert. The program al- so will include the first performance of -Four Love Songs" the text in C.c French, by Jean Berger. with Maria Kurenko, Russian soprano, as soloist, and "Rhapsody," work for harp solo and string quartet, by Frederick Jacobi.

 HUNDREDS of B-29 Superfortresses have launched ful-scae incendiary raids Tokyo Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe in recent days. These saturation raids, many of them made with the jellied-gas- one M-69 incendiary bombs, have been even more effective than precision attacks with explosive bombs
 Because of the wide decentralization of industry in Japan saturaton raids have been necessary in order to hit thousands of little shops. Most of these shops are located in the centers of Japan's leading cities.
 LOOKS LIKE PIECE OF PIPE
 The M69 looks like piece of hexagonal pipe. Cut off square at the ends, it has fins, receiving its stability from cloth streamers Streamers slow the fall of the bombs to speed which gives them power to pierce roof without damaging the internal mechanism.

2ND AIR FORGE
 TRAINS MEN IN MUSTARD GAS

AEcCook Army Air Field. Neb March 21-(UP)-When "chemlcal Tarfare1 is mentioned. most per- cons get panicky-but not the men who have gone through the Decon- tamination school at McCooK.
 .srhe biggest problem as well as fine most valuable asset of chemical warfare is the misunderstanding and hokus-pokus that surrounos the use of this weapon" accorolng "a It. David E. Goodman, chemical warfare officer of Fl Paso, Texas.
 Mustard is the only gas used at the school and more of it has been need at McCook field than any other hase of the Second Air Force. The herxonnel of the school, since us fnception in July, 1944, has been so rareftl in using the gas that not one casualty has resulted.
 Tn a small sheltered valley near the field, approximately 60 men are assembled every three months; dressed in appropriate clothing, ana told the dificulties and work ln- Vo1ved in combating mustard gas. : The most surprising fact to the etudents is that almost any solvent ran he used to combat the gas even water.
 .These exercises at the school are given to present the actual prop. jerns that we will have to face II and when the enemy snoulo use gas." It. Goodman said. .,.,, The lieutenant said the poSslpll- lies of the Germans using gas are remote because, by this time, they are aware that we can beat them at their own game. However, he said, 1t is "a much different story in Asia"
 Unit Model
 Chemical warfare training was started by Col. c. M. Kellog. now chemical officer of the China Burma-India theater. and contm- ned bv Col. T. H. Gahan, chemical officer of the 21st Bomber Com mand and Col. c. F. Williams, End AAF Chemical Warfare Office, who recently returned from the C-B-I theater.
 The training unit has been used as a model by other air force com mands. Second Air Force head quarters is conducting a drive at present to train all base personnel at least one hour each month in gas warfare.
 Mai. Henry J. Ochs, Jr., director of Ground Training, reports that v 90 per cent average has been reached at McCook. The highes' average by any base in the com mand Is 996 per cent.
 Personnel of the school, besides It. Goodman, includes: It. Good man, includes: It. Sid Lasarow; It Burrell D. Leffel; T-Sgt. Ed Truex Ohi9; S.-Sgt. Charles Murphy, Port Arthur, Tex; Sgt. Nathan Brofman New York city, and James Smith Tucson, AriZ.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 28.-Re-
assessment of county real estate
every four years, the setting up of
uniform fiscal years in cities and
towns of more than $500 population
to coincide with the State fiscal year
and distribution of all net profits
of the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board on a one-third basis to the
State and two-thirds to localities,
instead of the first $750,000 going
solely to the State, were among
recommendations made today by
the Virginia Advisory Legislative
Council.
In reporting to the Governor on
a study made of State and local
taxation, the council also advocated
a change in the definition of tax
able capital to make personal prop
erty subject to taxation as tangible
property by localities. At present
such property, with a few excep-
tions, is taxable by the State as
capital.
Nine recommendations drafted
into 10 bills for presentation to the
General Assembly early in 1916
were made in the 44-page report.
They were:
l. Real estate reassessment in all
