WILL FIT ANY STEERING WHEEL Franklin Square, Norwich IN YOUR HOME GARDEN “Dig deep, manure well, work sften.” Thus Pliny the Elder, nea 2,000 years ago, summed up gar- ning. His advice is good today: Enthusiasm must be backed by eolid purpose—enough of it sur- _mount obstacles and survive disap_ ng is. knowing The garden should always be cleaned up in the autumn as soon as the crops are out of the way, and the area seed- ed to some green crop such as winter oats or rye. If this has not been done the dead vines, cabbage stalks and fn the Uppsr Picture, an Unsightly B Planted to Irish Potatoes. Lower the Season. Beans, Chard an Potatoes, and Lima Beans H other refuse should be gathered at onec and burned. This material is lia- ble to harbor insects #nd contain dis- ease injurious to garden crops, and no chances sheuld be taken with it. Provide Goed Drainage. ¢ the area in the garden is not, well drained this should be corrected by us- ing tile drains spaced every 10 to 20 feet. or by open ditches, or by bed- ding up the soil, leaving the space be- tween the beds for drains. ‘The ground should be plowed as soon @s possible. If hard freezing is sure to oceur after the plowing is done it does mot matter if the ground is a little ‘wet. It is particularly desirable to get the plowing done before freezing wea- ther is past, as the alternate freezing FERGUSON’S Need For Home Gardens Calls For Work in Every Back Yard United States Department of Agriculture Where all cars stop and thawing kills hibernating insects, as well as loosening up the soil, break- ing down clods and making the soil generally more loose and friable. - Soil that has been plowed or spaded, more- over. will ary out and bzcome work- able sooner than that not so treated. Lighten Heavy Soil. If the sofl is at.all heavy it is ad_ visable to make an application of air- slacked lime as soon as the plowing is done. The lime should be applied at this time so as to become thoroughly mixed with the soil before the manure is applied. Manure and lime should not be -applied’ at the same time, as the lime will cause loss of the nitro- ben in the manure. To produce satisfactory crops of vegetables the soil must be kept in a high state of fertdlity. It is an excel- lent plan to apply stable manure to the ack Yard "After Being Cleaned Up and Picture, the Same Area Later in d Cabbage Have Followed the ave Hidden the Board Fence. freshly plowed or spaded soil, this to Dbe worked in either with a disk har- row, or in cases where hand labor is employed, with a hoe or rake. should be followed later on by a sur- face coat of well-rotted manure, ap- plied about the time the crops are planted. A simple test to determine when garden soil is ready for plowing or working is to {c§2 a handful of earth frem the surface and close the fingers tightly on it. If the earth compacted in this way is dry enopgh for culti- ation it will fall apart when the hand is opened. This test is applicable only to comporatively heavy soils, but it is these which receive the most injury if the are worked when wet. MYSTIC !

STONINGTON Fishermen Getting Flatfish and Flound- ders—Matthew Leany to Leave for France Scon. In season large quantities of fish are shipped daily from Stonington to the York market, but the season |has been delayed eomewhat by the large quantities of ice and the severe cold weather. During the mild weather of the past week trawlers have secured sizable fares of flatfish and flounders and small shipments were made. Trap fishermen are speeding up preparations for the season’s work, are getiing their gears in readiness and expect to commence gathering in fish earlier than last season, in the hope lof selling at high prices while prices are high, as when fish become pelntiful there is likely to be a drop in prices.
