Hagberg, and besides this there are 40 plots which are being cultivated. Supervisor Hagberg has had all the land ploughed and every plot pledged will be assigned this week, The supervisor is now to take up class work for the cultivators of the Lome gardens, many of whom are volunteers for this line of work with scarcely any practical experience in the cultivation = of vegetables. In- structions will be given at the plots in every part of the city. Meetings of this kind have already been held at Trading Cove and Huntington lane. It is the hope of the supervisor that gardenerg will try to follow all in- structions, as by so deing the object of the home garden movement will be greatly helped in accordance with the wishes of the federal government. Ev- ery day next week will be devoted to this kind of work and it is hoped that all will keep in close touch with the supervisor, so that' an abundant crop will be harvested next fall, Plots Assigned. The following assignments made in the past week: Clark Fraser, George Fraser, Mrs. Wm. H. Allen, Mrs. Charles Bard, Thomas W. Casey, John F.

Supervisor Hagberg has just issued the following bit of early season in- struction for the home gardeners: | spindly procedure. The best gardener is he who is most inquisitive and looks for the reason behind the action, and de- cides for himself whether or not it applies to his.own conditions. For ex- ample, drawing earth up around all and every plant because it is a good practice in some cases is a quite com- mon blunder, and though frequently of no consequence, often does real harm. The terms “hill” and “hilling” as ap- plied in the garden are likely to be misleading to the beginner who nat- urally assumes that they refer to raised mounds, whereas, in fact, al- most without exception the seeds are sown in level drills and the “hilling” is done after the plants have made considerable growth. A few of our erops are liable to stem rot and an excess of moisture around the stem of the plant aggravates this trouble. Therefore, muskmelons, cucumbers, rumpkins, squash, and lima beans may be sown in raised “hills” not more than two inches above the sur- rounding grade; but all other vegeta- bles that are hilled have the sofl drawn up aroynd them after they have attained ‘a fair size. The advantage of “hilling,” drawing up earth around the stem of the plant, is to protect weak stemmed plants against blow- ing over during heavy rain storms (string beans, corn). In some cases plants send out a new rooting system from the newly covered portion of the stem (corn and tomatoes). Potatoes are hilled when they are in flower as at this time the tubers are forming and this extra earth acts as a mulch conserving the moisture and protecting the young tubers. As- paragus is sometimes hilled when the crown (which zradual too near the surface. ings this is accomplished by turning a furrow on the row with a plow; i small' gardens a hoe can he String beans. are hilled to protect them from storms when the plant: have started to branch out Cabbage and cauliflower that from overcrowding in seedling bed or excess of shade may be hilled slightly after they are th oughly established, in order to g an approach to normal.

Real and Personal Property. Frederick W. Mercer of New Lon- don, receiver for H. R. Douglas, Inc.,| a building firm of that city, has brought a petition in the superior court for the right to sell at public auction or private sale, free and clear of certain liens and claims, real es- tate and personal property of the Douglas Corporation. The real estate is on Bank street and Jefferson ave- nue. The sale, however, would be sub- ject to a mortgage held by the Ma- riners Savings Bank of New London on the Bank street real estate, and to a mortgage on the Jefferson ave- rue real estate to the same bank. The receiver asks the court for an order marshaling the liens upon and interest in said property and deter- mining the validity, amount and pri- | ority of the claims, Frank W. Hamilton of Groton claims a mortgage on some of the property to secure a claim for $18,- 750. Others claiming interest in_the property are Huber & Chitten of New Londeon, Mary L. Cady of Brookline, Elizabeth A. Donohue, and Patrick J. Caples, all of New London, who have suits in the superior court against the Douglas Co.

Major W. A. Mercer, army recruit- ing officer in Connecticut, states that recruiting still continues brisk at the stations in this district, most of the applicants being lads of twenty.-one who wish to get into the regulars be- fore the next registration day. The field artillery and cavalry continues to be the most popular branches, but men who are skilled at various trades and wish to work at them while in the service can choose quartermaster corps, ordnance engineers and signal corps. Although the aviation station of the signal corps is closed. men who are qualified in the followinz trades are still wanted for the signal corps proper: cable telegraph and radio operators, inside and outside wiremen, electricians, machinists, pho- tographers, men famillar with con- struction and maintenance of tele- phone systems. chauffeurs, auto re- pairmen, gas engine repairmen, cable splicers, moving picture men, carrier pigeon experts, cooks. clerks, buglers, horseshoers and cobblers. Though the office seldom seeks the man, the job frequently does—and without success. T WILL REORGANIZE NIANTIC MENHADBEN CO. Clarence M. Shay Presents Petition in the Superior Court. Clarence M.
