Unde Sam needs nurses for his armed forces and needs them quickly—8,000 a month. At the request of the Surgeon General of the United States Army the tremendous task of recruiting these nurses has been accepted by the American Red Cross Through the local chapters the Red Cross will reach into every community and tap the nursing resources of that area. A nurse may enroll in one of four groups according to her qualifications, and she may specify service with either the Army, the Navy or the Army Air Corps. For all groups she must be a citizen of the United States, of a cobelligerent or friendly country, of certain physical standards and a graduate of an accredited high school and a school of nursing of approved standards. She may apply for appointment to the War Reserve if she can go into service within six months. First Reserve nurses comprise the second group of applicants who are unmarried, under 40 years of age, but aro not available for immediate military ser-

vice.

The Second Reserve nurses are

those of 40 years or over, mar-

ried and with dependents. The Third Reserve are older

women who cannot go into military service but can be called

on in case of local disaster. In addition the Student Reserve

is open to -senior students in schools of nursing meeting Red

CARE OF THE GARDEN

Dr. Clurlea H. Connors,

N. J. College of Agriculture By this time the early plantings in the garden are completed, and the harvest of most things, except radishes, is not yet in sight. Soras hard work in gardening is at hand, and yet these dimes should not be too much of a burden. They may even bring pleasure and inspiration if approached in the right spirit. Many persons are having a garden for the first time. They have never been intimately as-

sociated with plants.

In the care of the garden, the first job is cultivating. About once week the soil should be loosenI, as soon after a rain as it i* I possible to do so without puddling. Various tools may be used. Many gardeners use only a rake. Others stick to the old-fashioned hoe, while still others use the scuff-hoe or Dutch hoe. You can use any implement that will keep

the top <rf the soil loose.

Cultivation does several things. Foremost, it kills weeds before they can make much growth. By loosening the soil, it is possible for air to enter and for gases to escape, for the roots absorb oxygen and give off noxious gases, in addition to the gases formed

month is the quota set fer the local committee and it is expected. that these three counties will be a bit to

consisting of representatives of various organizations interested

in this recruiting appeal. A public rally will be held

to absorb water when it falls. If ypu did not, apply fertilizer when the soil wtfs' dug, a sidedressing along the rows may be worked in by cultivation. Do not cultivate deeper than an inch or so, otherwise you may cause injury to the roots of your plants. Mulching, which will be explained next week, will save much cul-

tivating.

How To Thin PlanU Take carrots as an example. (To secure fully developed roots, the individual plants should stand

cook, use them, like spit over them again when the beets are about M to M inch in diajneter, and cook these. This should be the final thinning. The plants should stand about 8 inches apart. Use this same procedure with the rest of your crops. Snap beans should be thinned to stand about 3 inches apart; sweet corn, 12 indies for Golden Bantam and 16 to 18 inches for taller varieties. Watch For Insects Be on the 1 Mexican bean beetle. This almost circular insect, brownish with 16 spots, which eats holes through the leaves of all kinds of beans. These holes are the signs to watch for. Yellow eggs in clusters are laid on the undersurface of the leaves. When the holes appear, dust or spray with rotenone. . on peas, they appear, before they increase too greatly in number, give them an application of rotenone. If any of your plants have small “shot-holes," look for a tiny black beetle that can jump. Such plants as tomato, pepper, eggplant, turnip and cabbage may be the victims. Use a dust of 1 part of calcium arsenate and 3 parts of hydrated lime on the foliage. If you have planned your garden properly, it may be time for the second sowing of carrots, beets, snap beans and corn. Repeated plantings of these vegetables give a succession of crops for use on the table.
