GET BUSY WITH GARDENS, MOTTO OF NEW BRITAIN HHS Mm PRUN[S Committee Chosen to Assnst Amateur Agriculturists Holds Meeting—Where to Apply for Tract of Land You Sho uld Cultivate. Ralse vegotables and ralse them right and incidentally do it now, is to be the motto of the public of the | city of New Britain if the joint com- mittee appointed by the mdyor and the Chamber of Commerce, which held a preliminary meetinz last eve- ning, is able to influence the people of the city and help the army of gardeners which is springing up about the country. Every effort will be . made by the members of the commit- tee to aid in various manners those who signify their wishes to develop ! & garden plot. Plans will be made so that the farmer may secure a certain allowance of land near his home if possible, will be given charge of that Jand which will be inspected weekly, will have an opportunity to procure s seed and supplies through a cen- tral committee and will be given the proceeds of his work at the time he | desires to harvest. There will be | slight charges made to each farmer, who will be required to pay for the “fertilizer and seeds, for instance, | though it is cxpected that reductions will be available if he makés his pur- chase through the committee.

The plan is briefly as follows: .Any- jone with the jnecessary amount of { ambition will be given a certain plot | of ground as near his home as pos- | sible on which he may raise the crops { which suit his fancy, though certain staples will be requested. He must i make application in writing for a plot and will be assigned one if possible. A blank will be furnished whereon to make the application. . Blanks by | which an owner may tender the use of his lands will be furnished also Jhllt it is desired that all who can furnish land will let the committee i know at once. Some land will not be : taken hecause of the fact that all soils tare not useful for the purpose. After the allotment of plots, ar- rangements will be made for plowing and fertilizing. Each farmer must pay the cost of this. The land will then he turned over to the one who is to ealtivate it and he will be furnished by the committee’ with his seeds at cost price. A weekly inspection will be made of all plots by a practical | farmer to see that all are being well | kept. The probability is that a series i of talks on farming will be given later in the season. | Organization the Keystone of Success. ! Mr. Kelley is one of the fleld or- | ganizers of the Food Garden commis- sion, which maintains headquarters in Washington, D. C., and his visit is for the specific purpose of inducing ‘every organization and everybody in- i terested in the garden campaign, to ‘get together, organize and unite in jone concrete institution that the movement may be prosecuted with vigorous measures, Mr. Kelley believes that systematic organization, i necessary to procure definite results.

The men behind the movement rea- lize the food problem confronting the whole world, and what the demands in the immediate future on this coun- try will mean to the city millions who now reiy upon the farmer for their green produce. In discussing the project, Mr. Kelley said: “My object is making a tour of this state is to try and help alt those who are interested in the ,garden .campaign to organize into tone central hody, that the aims and methods to be employed may become definitely known to all. In union there is always strength, and through a great co-ordinate body it will be possible to cteate thousands of min- iature farms, which will produce hun- dreds of dollars worth of fresh vegetables, and thus make the indi- vidual families independent of the farmer- “A ‘campaign of this nature 1s a big broad matter which is command- ing the attention of the nation as a’whole.

MAY IlE[Ill[iNIZEl GOVT. OF VENIZELOS Constantine Has Forfeited Rights by Illegal Acts ‘Washington, April 24.—The ques- tion of recognition for the Venizelos provisional government in Greece is now before the state department, and the expectation is that it will be recognized after a full cxamination by Secretary Lansing and President ‘Wilson of the alleged unconstitutional conduct of King Constantine, and the causes which prompted Venizelos to set up a republican form of adminis- tration. These three are believed to be the determining considerations: King Constantine was twice de- feated in national elections, but nulli- fled the express will of the nation. The King dissolved the national parliament unconstitutionally. Greece, under King Constantine, has forfeited the protection of the countries which effected Greek inde- pendence, and has failed to live up to the international obligations of his country which had been defined | in treaties. « The recognition of the Venizelos government would not necessarily ‘mean the severance of relations with the Athens government. The En- tente Allies, who have recognized Venizelos, maintain diplomatic mis- slons at Athens as well as at Saloniki, the seat of the Venizelos government, Venizelos controls a strip of territory across Northern Greece and practical- ly all of the Greek islands, while King Constantine rules most .of conti- nental Greece. It is an odd fact that Saloniki, whose population is chiefly non-Greek, was carried by the King in the elections, and that Athens, which is pure Greek, was carried by Venizelos. Public’ With Venizelos, The strength of King Constantine, according to reports which have reached Washington through official channels, lies in the support of the aristocracy, the professional soldiers in the national army, and the non- Greeks. Venizelos' support comes from the pure Greéks. In. the in- terior there is a large element com- posed of Bulgarians who naturally have opposed the operations of the Entente nations in Greece, and an- other powerful factor in the situation is the wife of the King, wha is a sister of Emperor William' of Ger- many. While the United States was still a neutral, it was thought it could not properly extend recognition to a revo- lutionary government in Greece, but the precedent set in the instance of Russia ,after this country entered the war, leaves it free to extend recog- nition to the democratic movement in Greece, especially as it is in keeping with the announced policies of Presi- dent Wilson concerning the rights’ of peoples to self-government, London, April 24.—Replying to a question in the House of Commons yesterday, Lord Robert Cecil, the How Often Have You W;shed You~ Had a GRAFONOLA THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TOMORROW For 3 Down and $2 weekly You can own this wonderful toned, handsomely fin- ished GRAFONOLA With 12 Selections of Music---Your Choice The full price is $79.50 and in- cludes “Leader” Grafonola, 6 Double Disc Records. 300 needles soft, medium and loud.
