In planting your backyard gar~

start. off knowing just what you are

about it. Rushing out to drop ‘

into the earth. without a well defined
plan. is like a carpenter taking some
boards. a habimer and nails and try-
ing to erect allouse without a de-
sign.
In choosing the location of your
garden. remember that no amount
of fertiiiaing. watering and cars will
replace sunshine. It might be easier
to bee in the shade but you can't
grow a garden there. The sun is
the life of the garden. in whatever
climate. '
. A few crops. such as lettuce. kale
and spinach. do fairly well in partial
sheds. but must have a minimum
of three hours' sunshine every day.
Plants which ripen fruits. such as
the tomato. should have at least five
hours‘ sunshine daily. "
The Ideal Soil.
While successful gardens can be
grown on all‘ kinds of soils. from
light sends to heavy mocks and
clays.‘ probably the best type of gar-
‘den soil is a sandy loam. Sandy
soils. as a rule. warm up earlier than
others in the spring. so the gar-
dener can get to work sooner. But
even where the soil is good to start
with. considerable preparation and
cultivation are necessary before it is
in first lass condition for the pro-
duction f vegetables.
It is an advantage in gardening to
have on the north or northeast a
hill or group of trees. a hedge. build—
ings._ or a. wall to break the force
of the wind. A good fence around
the plot is almost indispensable. Be.
sides being a windbreak it should
protect the garden from dogs. poul—
try and other invaders.
Straight Rows.
Remember. in drawing the plan
for your garden. the seeds should
always be planted in straight rows.
*‘ regardless bf where the planting is
made. Where the space is very lim-
ited. it is even more necessary to
sit down with a pencil and figure
out how to gain the most efficiency
in arrangement of the garden. that:

Plan to make your garden beauti-

to arrive at a finished plan that will
be really artistic. Crosswalks should
always be placed where they will be
most convenient. Tramping on the
garden makes a rather u sightly
mess and besides packs the so .
You can make of this drawing of

; Point in Favor of Frost
Scored by Shipping
Cleark at S e c o n d
Trial ,
The sensational Frost arson can.
now being tried for the sscdnd time.
took another new twist yesterday
when it was testified that merchan-
dise piled near the center of the
room in the Bethel plant of the
Exclusio company in which the in-
cendiary tire was started last April.
was so arranged at request of fire
insurance company inspectors.
The case is being heard before
Judge John W. Banks, Bridgeport.
in Criminal Superior Court. Peter
Rosensweig. New York city. who was
hsipplng clerk in the Frost factory.
gave the testimony.
Abraham "Whitey" Friedman and
Sam Delscnberg. alien‘satn Cohen.
have testified Frost especially hired
Cohen and expressly ordered him to
stack goods in the room for the par.
ticular purpose of expediting the ar-
son plot.
Rosenaweig declared yesterday
that it was he who gave instructions
to Cohen to assist another man in
piling the goods in the room. after
inspectors ordered that the pile be
removed from the vicinity of walls
and windows.
Other instructions given by the
seen of the fire insurance com-
pan es. Roeensweig said. was to ve-
pair a watchman's clock and the
sprinkler syptem. He said Frost is-
sued ders to have carried cut im-
media ely all of the suggestions
made by the inspectors.

HE SHOWED ’EM HOW TO
OLE“ BARN QUICKLY
Because he was told that he wasn‘t
worth his breakfast asa worker.
George Ruby. of Attleboro. Mesa.
decided to hurry a barn cleaning 10“
by burning the building. His ad-
mission oi this in court here yester-
day, caused him to be held for the
grand Jury on an arson charge. His
employer said the fire cost him
$8.000.
TWO COTTAGES DESTROYED
Two cottages and a houseboat
were burned to the ground by fire
last night which started in the marsh
grass at Fairiield beach. The fire
was of unknown origin and the
damage is estimated at above 010.-
000.
