John W. Ochmann, commanding the régiment. ‘The training objective, according to the paper, is in general the mainte- nance of every unit in condition to function effectively at existing strength and without further training, when em- ployed in mincr emergencies by the Fed- eral Government, together with the pro- capable of rapid expansion to r strength, which, with the minimum de- lay, can be employed in time of war as an effective component of the Army The objective, in particular, is out- lined as- follows: The attaining of an honest fundamental proficiency in all| those subjects, both technical and | tactical, o: training appropriate to the indivicual or unit. This proficienc the program outlined says, is best a tained by an alert insistence of exact- ness in subject fundamentals in line with the authoritative knowledge of training regulations and other approved directive texts, and by this knowledge ual or unit through study and practice | in the exact execution of all drills. | In the company instruction, to be | carried out by iecturcs and indoor dem- onstrations, the officers are directed to emphasize the specific duties of platoon commanders and subordinates in trench traces and profiles. Non-engineering subjects are provided for. Taking up the matter of musketry, the program says that jnasmuch as the 1931 field training will include squad and perhaps section competition in musketry firing. it is imperative that the company officers and non-commis- sioned officers thoroughly acquaint | themselves with the contents of regula- | tions bearing thereon. It is also im- pe . it is said, that before camp time each enlisted man fire the qualifi- cation course and know the 7ero of his rifle for the 200-yard range. A portion uled for musketry firing. The program warns that if unncces- sary accidents are to be prevented dur: ing the actual firing of musketry prob- lems at camp, it must be apparent to all that adequate instruction 1s required in the lecture room, in the indoor rifie gallery, and on the outdoor range. 1t | is added that lack of time will probabl. limit this to actual qualifiaction w | the individual will take to| camp. Pack rolling and shelter tent drill will | be scheduled during August, ‘ust prior to_the departure for camp. | t was announced that the outdoor | target season probably will be desig- | nated as April 1 to October 31. In view | of this, the officers ere informed, indi- vidual card records and chart must be kept in each company headquarters to | show the progress of each man in pre- | liminary indoor instruction, indoor range | ractice, preliminary outdoor exercises, outdoor practice firing and outdoor | record firng. The following range firing schedule has besn mapped out to co-ordinate the training of all units in the command: April 7, Company D; April 14, Com- pany E; April 21, Company =; April 28 Headquarters and Service Company: May 12, Company A; May 19, Company B; May 26, Company C; June 2, Com- pany D; June 9, Company E; Jun: 16, Company F; June 23, Headquarters and | Service; July 7, Company A; July 14, | Company B; July 21, Compaay C; July | 28, Company D; August 4, Company E; August 11, Company F. ‘The regimental adjutant has been in- | structed to prepare a schedule for the band; the medical departzent detacih- ment its own training schedule, and the Headquarters and Service Company its schedule. Th- lettered companies also have bern ordered to map ont deta schedules to carry out the generel train- | ing program. Thase schedules are to be arranged so as to permit training in- spections and training tests by the bat- | talion commanders. These will be held | on the first Tuesday of each month for Companies A and D: second Tuesday | for Companies E and F, and third Tues- day for Companics C and F. The recruit school will be maintained. To this school each drill night will be | sent newly enlisted men as well as men who are believed by their coramanding | officers to be insufficlently trained in the fundamentals of soldiering to p up with the full command at drill. | Officers’ schools in addition to the | regular monthly nferences will be | held on drill nights.

There are two extremes of thought on the sub- ject, one of which represents a care- less method in which roots are dras- tically pruned almost to a single stem and set in a hole made perhaps with a crowbar and the other a painstaking effort in which a wide and deep hole is dug, rich soil placed beneath the tree or shrub and the roots carefully spread and covered with finely divided soil. ‘The former method actually was recommended some years ago with ref- erence to peach planting and became fairly well known, in recognition of its exploiter, as the Stringfellow system of planting. Needless to say, this drastic system never gained much popularity. Of the two methods, that of painstak- ing care is preferabie by far, but it is doubtful if such extreme care is neces- sary. Some years ago the Maryland Experiment Station tried out several systems of planting fruit trees which involved different methods of pruning roots and tops and different ways of gllclnfl the s0il back in the excavated ole. In the first place, all forms of Toot pruning beyond the simple expedient of removing broken roots and clipping the ends of broken roots proved harm- ful as measured in subsequent growth. Moderate top pruning was beneficial, apparently being needed to offset loss of roots entailed in digging the trees in the nursery. However. in the course of five or six years all trees except those which were drastically root pruned overcame the original harmful effects, indicating there may be con- siderable leeway in the way of handling trees at planting time. ‘Three methods of filling in the sofl about the roots were tried, namely: (1) simply shoveling the soil back into the hole, (2) tamping the soil with the feet and (3) ramming the soil. In the wet season that followed the first and second methods gave good results, the third was distinctly harmful. Prob- ably year in and year out some tamp- ing of the roots is advisable, as it fills air spaces about the roots and brings the soil closely in touch with the roots. Practically speaking, it is advisable to dig a hole suficiently deep and wide to accommodate the roots in their natural position without crowding. Commercial fertilizer should not be placed in contact with the roots. In fact, in fairly fertile soil it is probably just as well not to apply fertilizer until the trees are well started into growth, unless it be*well rotted manure placed beneath but not in direct touch with | the roots. The new home owner, preparing for the first time to make a garden on his new property, may be pretty much dis- couraged at the prospect. The soll in this general locality is apt to be a heavy reddish yellow clay and outwardly not very promising. Right at the start it may be said that remarkable changes can be wrought in the texture, color and producing capacity of just such solls in a very few seasons. If manure is available, it is the bst materlal modifying the soil. Not fresh, strawy manure but well rotted material that | hi partly broken down. With enough manure, the soil may be brought into fine garden condition in one or two seasons. In the absence of manure, it becomes necessary to fall back on green manures, that is, plants grown for turning under, such as oats, cowpeas, crimson clover and Winter rye and on commercial fertilizer. ‘The fertilizer promotes strong growth of cover crops which, when buried in the soil, takes the place of animal manures to a certain extent. Sifted coal ashes applied two or three inches deep and spaded in help greatly to break up the sticky clay into & work- able condition. Lime, either hydrated or the ground limestone, also is useful but has to be used with con- sideration to what kinds of plants are going to go into the new garden. If it is to be a vegetable garden solely, it is safe to apply lime over the whole garden. I1f flowers are to be grown, a portion should bz left unlimed for the acid-loving plants, such as the laurels and rhododendrons. Returning to the subject of cover crops, if one has a large area and some patience to await result, it is as well to devote a portion of the arca to soil im- provement the first year, growing first a crop of oats, spading this under when six or eight inches tall and following with cow peas and the cow peas with Winter rye. Such an effort would be rewarded with a satisfactory garden the succeeding year, provided of course that 1931 gives gardeners a reascnable supply of rain. Last season even cover crops were generally utter fallures, Undoubtedly many gardeners will be | plirchasing fruit trees and fruit plants this Spring for setting in their garden. Perhaps not all these tree purchasers may realize the possibility of buying & tree that is unable to set fruit when planted by itself or with only other treés of the same varlety. Take for example the fine sweet cherries, Bing and Lambert, that in Spring reach our markets from the Northwest. A single tree of either of the two kinds would fail to bear cherries no matter how favorable the soil, the temperature and the culture. H. Dale peach Stayman Winesap apple are other strik- ing examples of this inability to bear frult by themselves. It is true that these fruits bear flowers with both male and female parts; the trouble being that the male element, of the polien, is either impotent or unable to fertilize the bloorps. Much has been written on this subject in the last decade. The Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Ex- periment Station”at College Park, Md., will gladly furnish information on the pollination requirements of fruit trees. However, there are many fine varieties, quite capable of taking care of them- selves in this respect and furthermore the investigators have established by tests various successful combinations of varieties. Fortunately, our flowering shrubs do not offer the same problem. Who cares the | The fine large fruited J.| and the well known | may see the yellow bloom of forsythia, D:.C, BY J. W.

This will mean that spraying and dusting will receive greater aitention than ever before. At the present time, scale insects, such as the San Jose scale, are in their most vulnerable stage. The trees are still dormant, so that a caustic solution, such as lime sulphur, may be safely used. Furthermore, the waxy coverings | over the insects have been weakened by the Winter's storms. Home gardeners with fruit trees and fruiting shrubs, such as currants and gooseberries, are urged to spray these plants now. The flowering Japanese quince also is sub- ject to scale insects and should be sprayed now if scales are present. The | scales appear as a grayish, waxy de- | posit that can be easily scratched off with a knife or the thumbnail. Tulips, hyacinths and narcissus are poking their leaves out of the soil, quite regardless of the' fact Winter has just officially disappeared. Just what func- tion these leaves play in the life of the plant is doubtful, but likely play a part in manufacturing nutrients for the rapidly expanding root system. These leaves are very sturdy, as may be at- tested by their ability to withstand temperatures far below freezing. Here and there in sheltered yards one the first of the conspicuous flowered shrubs to burst into bloom. The for- sythia does not seem quite able to adapt | itself to our climate, for very frequently |the tender petals are caught by late freezes. Nevertheless, the forsythia has many worthy qualities. It will endure onsiderable shade and will thrive in rather poor soils. The golden-yellow blooms are a welcome harbinger of the feast of flowers that is to come. Flower buds in most of our fruit trees are formed in the Summer of the year before they actually burst into bloom. This fact makes one rather doubtful as to the amount of fruit bloom that can be expected this year. Whatever the outcome may be, it is more advis- able than ever that the fruit trees be fed this Spring in order that they may recover quickly their full vigor. It is strange that the tree, made up 8 it is largely of products manufactured co-operatively by the leaves and sun- light, should suffer so bittcrly in the absence of adequate water, but water ]e‘t;wn every vital process of the tree’s e. Some of the Winter vegetables, such as rhubarb and French endive or chicory, may be grown by the home gardener without a great deal of trou- ble. The rhubarb and chicory now on sale is simply the growth forced by moderate heat from overwintered rcots. | ‘Take chicory, for example, the seed is sown much as lettuce or carrots in Spring in the open garden. The young plants appear much like smooth-edged dandelions and require simply the usual tillage that is given other vegetables. In November the roots are dug, the leaves being removed without actually cutting the crown. The roots may then be set upright in boxes and covered with sand to a depth of 6 or 8 inches. |In a few weeks the crowns of new leaves will start to push through the sand and are then fit for cutting, yield- ing the fine golden yellow product which sells so readily as French endive in chicory, which simply means white-leaf chicory. I NEW VEGETABLES | ‘The following item released by the press service of the Department of Agriculture may not have direct in- terest to the home gardener, but is of interest in showing to what extent our list of edible plants might bs en- larged if necessity demanded: ‘Alfalfa shoots are tasty as greens and make a cheap and welcome addi- tion to the diet in early Spring, the United States Department of Agricul- ture says. They are particularly ap- petizing when cooked with a trace of oil or butter, or a plece of fat meat, bacon rind or ham bone. All greens should be cooked no longer than neces- sary to make them tender. This Spring, especially, many persons will be looking for opportunities to increase their food supplies. “W. R. Beattie, extension horticul- turist of the United States Department of Agriculture, points out that in addi- tion "to alfalfa many wild plants, sprouting at the first an of Spring, will provide excellent fare. Vacant flelds, roadsides, thin woods and barn- yards will soon be dotted with poke- weed, lamb's quarter, wild mustard, dandelions, shepherd’s purse and horse radish. Field cress or bitter cress is almost as common in old fields and close to stream banks, watercress is plantiful in spring branches and the marsh marigold or cowslip in swampy places in the Northern States. In the North Central States it is a common firu:tlce to make pot herbs of the early aves of sour dock and the early shoots of hops and common nettle. The young, tender shoots of burdock are sometimes used as a salad served raw with a salad dressing. Some of these plants lend themselves well to mixtures. Water- cress fits in almost any combination. “Onions may be forced in a warm L D GARDEN. WHERE IS MULLIKIN?

BERLIN, March 21 (#).—The Ger- man Government protested to Warsaw today against the alleged misuse of Polish radio st>tions for the broadcast- ing of anti-German propaganda.

RDEN I Lawn remaking appears to be a ma- jor activity for home gardeners this Spring, and in the most cases the ef- fort is well warranted. Bare spots and weakened grass plants seem to presage ragged-looking lawns. It is true that the lawns naturally would recover some of their beauty in the course of time, but reseeding and fertilizing will bring about the recovery much more rapidly. March is a favorable month for plant- ing grass seed, second only to Se) - ber. The usually rainy month of April provides ideal weather for the young grass. A writer in one of the popular garden magazines recommends the use of one pound of grass seed per each 250 square feet of soll surface, having in mind new lawn. The March number of the Insect Pest Survey Bulletin, issued by the De- partment of Agriculture, forecasts that the mild Winter will likely be reflected in an abundance of harmful insects this Lilacs, White and Pink Althea (Rote of Sharon Red. shrubs ..
