An Inexpensive Bobby
:.tike bird watching, hiking or
camping, gardening is an inex-
pensive hobby. Golfing, yachting,
Or even picture taking require
a lot of costly equipment and
aey take one a long piece front
home. But gardening is just as
healthy as any of these other
recreations and the initial cost
and the upkeep amount to only
few dollars. Moreover when
vegetable growing is included
there is a nice dividend in the
freshest hind of food, right at
the kitchen door.
Equipment
One can do wonders with a
few cents worth of seed, a spade
and a rake. For all the technical
information necessary the direc-
tions on the seed packet and in
The seed catalogue will suffice.
These directions tell the gardener
when to plant and how deep, and
how big will grow the things he
has planted so he can allow suf-
ficient room,
Of course those are minimum
requirements and for just a tiny
plot. A few extras like a culti-
vator or two and a little more
variety in the seeds and plants
will increase the satisfaction and
enjoyment. For extra and de-
tailed information too, there are
excellent gardening books and
government bulletins available.
If one is really ambitious, one
can expand almost indefinitely.
There are literally hundreds of
different flowers and vegetables
at one's disposal, and more hun-
dreds of perennials, shrubs and
vines and trees. There are spec-
ialties like rock gardening, per-
ennial borders, rose gardens and
garden pools. There are also
power gadgets for cultivating,
trimming, spraying, clipping, leaf
gathering and such jobs for the
person who is mechanically in-
clined or who has a really big
piece of ground.
Better Than Ever
Not so many years ago one
could not grow corn, squash,
roses, fruit and dozens of other
plants except in the very warm-
est parts of Canada. These things
were not hardy enough, or they
took too long to mature in our
a'elatively short season and the
early frosts struck them down.
Now over the greater part of
the country the gardener has
hundreds of flowers and vege-
tables from which to choose. And
not only have we been given
earlier maturing and hardier var-
ieties, but also better quality, or
:more vivid or striking colors.
In the old days, too, the gar-
den was sort of a feast or famine
proposition, a few days when the
peas, corn or beans were ready,
m few days of vivid bloom, then
nothing else. Today with improv-
ed varieties and by using several
sorts with different maturing pe-
riods of flowering dates one can
have a wonderful and producing
garden from a few days after
frost in the spring until far into
the fall.
In ordering seeds and plants
for the coming season one should
remember these changes and im-
provements and by selecting
carefully insure more satisfac-
tion and a fuller return. The Eng-
glishman with his flower garden
and the Frenchman with his plot
of vegetables expects results al-
most 365 days in the year. Our
climate is a bit too severe in the
winter for that sort of contin-
uous production, but even in the
cooler parts of the country there
alhould be six months use and
pleasure at least. From the tiny
snowdrops and crocusses, which
bloom right after the snow, until
the chrysanthemums in October
sand November, there should be
almost continuous bloom. And in
the vegetable line by starting
early and storing the surplus in
the fall, there need be hardly a
week without something from
one's own garden.

AT,
What to do with left-ovor
mashed potatoes --except to make
them into patties—is a problem
that puzzles many home cooks
at times. But it won't he a prob-
lem if you try using them in some
of the ways I suggest herewith,
They're fine for thickening a
savory stew or creamy soup;
mixed into a yeast dough they
give a light, feathery texture to
your rolls; and when blended in-
to the batter, they even add good-
ness to a cake.
Indeed, instead of worrying
about mashed potato left -overs,
I often wish I had more of them
on hand.

turned up for her weekly pinochle

she anounced, "is Jewish after

Mammoth Pies
For 164 years Denby Dale hes
been famous for its mammoth
pies. In 1928 no fewer than five
bullocks were baked in one pie,
which weighed just over five tons,
and in order that their reputation
will not b tarnished by niggling
economies, the people of this
famous Yorkshire vilage intend
baking an even bigger pie for the
Coronation.
Because - of rationing, a com-
mittee of six have decided to ask
the Ministry of rood to waive
regulations for this one occasion.
The custom of baking mammoth
pies began in Denby in 1788 to
celebrate the recovery of George
III for a serious illness. The de-
feat of Napoleon at Waterloo gave
the villagers another glorious
chance,though that pie contained
only half a sheep, twenty fowls
and half a sack of flour.
But their pies increased in size,
and on the night of Queen Vic-
toria's Jubilee one weighing two
tons and costing $1,000 was baked.
The dish was eight feet in
diameter and weighed fifteen cwt.
The pie of 1928, the biggest,
had a crust that weighed half a
ton ' and 28 pounds of lard
powder and 224 pounds of lard
went into it. Served to '20,000, it
raised funds for a Huddersfield
hospital.
Incidentally, such pies take two
or three months of planning, mix-
ing, and designing; for a special
dish as well as the outsize oven
must he made.

Have You Booked Your Trip To The Moon
Yet? If Not, There Are Plenty Ahead of You
In the i'layden Planetarium,
New York, are twenty-flve thou-
sand completed applications for
interplanetary journeys by rock-
et ships to the Moon, Jupiter,
Saturn, and Mars. They come
from all over the world.
It started two years ago when
the Planetarium presented "Con-
quest of Space." This was an ima-
ginary journey to the planets
demonstrated with the Planetar-
ium's projection unit, To strike
a realistic note "Interplanetary
Tour Reservation" slips were
printed.
The response wa`s immediate
and startling. Within a short
period of time 25,000 of those
slips had been returned to the
Planetarium, duly completed.
About a thousand letters also
arrived. "Curiosity, adventure,
insecuritended
tog`etherya enrefle ted all eine these
letters," writes Mr, Frank H.
Forrester, t h e Planetarium's
Supervisor of Guest Relations.
Those reservation slips and the
letters remain on the files, point-
ers nevertheless to the future.
And week by week more corres-
pondence arrives from others
eager to beon one of the first
rockets to leave ofd Mother
Earth for outer space.
Incidentally, intending passen-
gers for the Moon were given a
few details about their personal
comfort and security, "Prior to
take -off," the information sheet
read, "passengers will be strap-
ped into standing positions
against the especially designed
take -off supports.
"Passengers will experience a
gradual diminution of earth
gravity, At 2,000 miles from the
earth, loose objects will 'float' in
the air,
"Upon arrival (on the Moon)
passengers will find, due to the
vacuum existing on the Moon's
surface, conversation impossible,
absence of winds, 'weather' and
clouds.
"Walking will be made more
difficult since the Moon's surface
is covered to a depth of two or
three feet with dust -like pum-
ice."
No commercial company has
thatyet t a rocket
set will take men tocthe Moon,
but obviously there will be no
shortage of potential passengers
when they do.
When will interplanetary tra-
vel be possible? A Russian maga-
zine, "Ogonek," recently pre-
dicted that the national flag of
the U.S.S.R. will be flying on the
moon in fifty years time.
Dr. Wernher von Braun, the
man who developed Hitler's V-2,
and who is now in America, has
predicted that "within the next
ten or fifteen years the earth can
have a new ,companion in the
skies, a man-made satellite which
will be a man's first 'foothold in
space."
This man-made satellite would
be over one thousand miles
above the earth. It would 'move
in an orbit around the earth and
provide the launching ground for
rockets en route for outer space.
The cost? Von Braun's esti-
mate for the satellite is .four bil-
lion dollars.
The satellite would circle the
earth in such a way that every
inch of the earth's surface would
come into view periodically. It
would have a crew of scientists
who, with a 100 -inch telescope,
could distinguish objects on the
earth only 18 inches apart.
This is a tremendous thought.
But there are many who pour
cold water on Von Braun's en -
