"Again on behalf of the entire of the seminar group we tiiank you and your church warmly for arranging such a well balanced and helpful educational experience.

These figures tell ol great expansion in the organized marketing and distribution of green vege-nMoe Thio wac appnmnanied bv a reduction in the number of home vegetable gardens, and a swing to flowers on a considerable scale. In all except the smallest hamlets, and in every month of the year, Americans are now accustomed to a varied assortment of green foods such as no other country in the world has ever been able to match. But to produce and distribute this food takes railroad cars, motor trucks, man power, all of which will be in extraordinary demand and probably in short supply, should war come.

"If difficulties arose in transporting 93,000 cars of fresh vegetables in 1917, how will three times as many cars, plus uncounted motor trucks, be found for the same purpose should war come again," the bureau inquires, in a discussion of the problem. "Whether complete disruption of the present system would occur is probably a matter of opinion; but surely we can all agree upon the following: "Increased production and transportation costs, with consequent higher prices, would be inevitable in war. ftimrv additional home ear- den, producing in leisure hours fresh vegetable foods to be con-cmo the familv. would be 3 worthwhile contribution to the na tion's war effort. "We urge home gardeners this spring to allot some portion of their garden space to vegetables.

Such a garden will serve a three-fold purpose: "It will gain experience in vegetable growing for the owner, and train him for real service should the need for war gardens arise. "It will serve as an example for his and a source of information to the neighborhood. "It will produce no small part of his fresh vegetable foods, and help counteract both for him and for others, the increased cost of living vhich is almujt' certainly aheadK jwar or no war." obstacles as possible remain to easy, cultivation. No better way has been found to lay out rows in the small garden than the string-line method. "mall stakes and a long piece ft' wrapping string are needed.

If you will cut neat slakes both may be left in the ground to mark the row with the seed packet pinned to one; this will give you a check on variety names. Garden rows should be spaced evenly, exactly. Take pains to measure them, otherwise you will regret it. How far apart? Eighteen inches is a good distance for leaf, root and seed crops. Small items like radish may be grown 6 inches apart, but cultivation will be difh cult, and soil needs to be- rich, Eighteen inches gives room to use a wheel hoe, and allows for vigorous growth.

In large gardens, 2 to 3 leet are often allowed. Vine crops, including tomatoes, need more room, at least 3 feet in the smallest gardens. Sweet corn ought to have the same, even Golden Bantam. After the row 'has been located, shallow drills can be easily made with a hoe in a straight line by following down Take some care in making these drills. Be certain that the soil is finely pulverized, and the drill not too deep.

How deep? Here again, there is quite a latitude. Four times the diameter of the seed is the usual formula, but remember this is not a precision operation. Tiny flower seeds should just be covered with a sprinkle of earth, but vegetable seeds will do quite well if you remember: Shallow drills for all the little seeds, a little deeper for the larger seeds, with a maximum of 2 inches for peas, yrs even sweet pears. This is for spring, when there is ample moisture. In summer planting, everything goes deeper.

Modern plant fooil should be applied about four pounds to 100 square feet, spread' evenly between Hie rows and raked lightly into th top soil, so as to he, quickly available to the shallow rooted seedlings. Post To Sponsor Egg Hunt At Park The date of the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Banning Park has been set for March 23, according to Ray Hodgson, playground director, and Joe Cadenbach. commander of American Legion Post No. 287, sponsors of the festive event. Parents of participating children are invited to join the youngsters and to share in more than 1,000 chocolate eggs which will be furnished for the hunt.

Marshmallow filled, the eggs will be awarded in three sizes, the larger approximating the dimensions of a hen's egg, the director said. Children under the age of six and their parents will hunt on the playground, while older participants will search in the area west of Banning Manor. Legionnaires, headed by Commander Cadenbach will act a-s huntmasters, ruling in all cases of simultaneous discovery and insuring an equal chance for all. To prevent trampling of eggs, paper slips exchangeable for the chocolate product will be hidden. More than 500 children were entertained last year at the hunt by the Legion Post and the recreation center's workers.

William Hinchberger, the monthly meeting of the Altar Society of Sts. Peter and Paul's Catholic church was held in Parish Hall. Neptune and Anaheim street, Tuesday evening, to consider Lenten and Christmas objectives of the church. Most immediate of Altar Society activity, the annual St. Patrick's ham dinner to take place March 17.

Mrs. Kcnkel, society representative at the Christmas planning committee reported that a civic ntertainment which will stress the religious story of the Day has been suggested. Members noted such an endeavor worthwhile.

Rt. Rev. Mon. B. J.

Schiaparelli discussed the need of a new parish house. He also spoke of the coming celebration of the organization of a Catholic Diocese here, October 13 when a new major seminary will be dedicated. He spoke of having a Mission in this parish by September, a spiritual treat toward which members look with eagerness. Novenas to Our Lady of Sor-orws and to Our Lady of Perpetual Help were discussed and will be taken up more fully after Lent. Mrs.

L. A. Mangan read a letter from Millie F. Johansing, president of the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women, which stressed the need of spiritual power in our country and the duty of women to teach a religious foundation capable of offsetting the anti-Godly sects considered dangerous to youth. Members were urged to put themselves under the guidance and protection of St.

Joseph, whose feast day is celebrated this month. The prefect reported fifty-two ladies present at the meeting and fifty.three at Sunday Communion, which was thought a splendid representation, but it was recalled that over eighty have received at i-iss and members resolved to emulate this record in the belief that their first duty as memebrs of the Altar Society is to receive Communion on the appointed day. Hostesses for the evening were ladies of Unit Seven who served dainty sandwiches to members and guests. Mrs. Moore and Mrs.

When it crumbles, instead of holding together, it is time to spade. Spading is not nearly as hard a job as it looks to be. For the average garden it takes about as much energy as eighteen holes of golf, and if we look at it in the right light, it is just as much fun and better exercise. There i o.iiy r.ije "secret" to the art of spading, and that is a straight up and cut. The reason for this is obvious when you consider that a slanting cut might turn over only 4 indies of soil while a perpendicular nil will go down 10 inches.

When the soil has ben nrnperly spaded, it should be smoothed with a rake. At least 2 inches of the topsoil should be finely pulverized, free from lumps and clods.
