believe tbat if they are going to send
any Greeks from the 'United States to
aid the Revolutionary Government,
it will be necessary to send them to
Canada and recruit them here. This
information comes in a letter froth
Nicholas Kilismanis, who was sent
to New York by the Karieria Society
to endeavor to have former members
of the Venizelist Cabinet; visit To-
ronto and speak for recruits.
Kilismanis wrote that six of the
Venizelist leaders in New Teak
would be in Canada after the holi-
day rush was over, . Those who are
to come are P. Kafandaris, former
Minister of Interior in the Venizelos
Government; G. Awanitopeulos, a
former deputy; Zavos Aristades, di-
plomat; Col, Traulis Kalenos, head
of the Military Committee; join,

As King Constantine is still recog-
nized as King by Britain, and as
Ambassador Vouros is King Constan
tine's representative at Washington,
the position of the revolutionary re-
presentatives is a very delicate one.
"There will likely be two standing
committees formed, one in Canada
and one in the States. Dagounas
says: "These will be made up of
the Venizelos representatives in Now
York, who will split in two. They
wilI have' charge of all recruiting,
and will adopt the best means of re-
cruiting—the Greeks in America, and
of getting them out of the country,"
Mr. Dagounas says it is the inten-
tion to rent large balls and have the
envoys address all the Greeks in the
city. From Toronto they will pro-
ceed to Montreal.
"Are the Toronto Greeks going to
take the same stand as the Greeks
in Montreal, and refuse to pray for
King Constantine?" he was asked.
"They still pray for Constantine," he
replied. "Whether they will do so'
next Sunday or not is problematical.

Sources close to your home; livery

manure would he willing to supply
it ata reasonable rate, On heavy
soils it is particularly recommended
that heavy applications bo made in
order that the soil will be of a much
finer condition se that it will retain
a large quantity of plant food, Many
of the garden soils will bo benefited
by the application :of lime, This

such as the contractor and builder,

in the form of fresh lime or even
slaked lime, 'Phis lime should be
scattered over the surface of the soil
alter the digging has taken place,
and a suffielent amount should be
applied to make the surface of the
ground fairly white. This should be
gently raked into the soil just pre-
vious to the planting of the seed.
DIGGING, 31; is necessary in all
gardens that the soil be turned over
at one time ea another during the
early spring in order that it may be-
come dry and fined. We find that
many .of the troubles of the back-
yard gardens are caused by digging
the soil too early in the spring, One
of the easiest ways to tell when the
soil is ready for digging is to gather
a handful and press.the fingers aver
IL If the soil in the hand sets in a
somewhat compact mass the time is
not far enough advanced for com-
mencing digging. If, however, the
soil fails apart into several smail
parts we may rest assured that it is
perfectly safe to dig.
TOOLS. It is unnecessary for the
backyard gardeher•to purchase many
tools for this first garden. Those who
have been growing vegetables in
their backyard for a number of years
gradually add to their supply until
after three or four years they have
aecumulated many special tools
wizicb are suited for particular oper-
ations in the garden. Complaints
are sometimes heard that the expense
necessary to commenee a backyard
garden is very great, Many very
good backyard gardens have been ,
made and excellent harvests obtain-
ed with very few and comparatively '
inexpensive tools. A digging fork or
spade, a rake, and a hoe are about
all tine tools essential at the outset,
and these are inexpensive.
PLANTING 011 SEEDS. When it
bas been determined that the soil is
suitable for digging and the weather
is nice and warm, it is necessary that
the seeds be planted in the garden.
As fine a surface as possible should
be secured,so that the little sends
will quickly germinate and grow. To
sow tbo seeds quickly, evenly, and
thinly requires considerable practice
and care. The row may be made
straight by stretching fairly tight a
piece of string from one portion of
the garden to another and using this
as a guide for making the trenches or
drills for placing the seeds in. Alter
the seeds have been dropped In they
should at once be covered with soil
by gently drawing some of the loose
surface soil in over the seeds with a
piece of stick or with the hands. This
soil should, however, not be heaped
up over the row but should be placed
evenly with the rest of the garden
soil and packed down.
THINNING. Backyard gardeners
should not attempt to grow immense
quantities at first. It is necessary
to plant sufficient seed to secure a
good crop of plants, the more slender
Plants being thinned out soon after
they are above ground so as to assure
reasonable room for a good crap of
healthier plants, The thinning
should be commenced when the
plants are trout one to two inches in
height and should not be left until
the `plants have `become long and
slender, because if they are left one
plant simply tries to smother another
One out; whereas, if they are thin-
ned to the proper distance they will
have room to grow to their required
size of maturity.
TRANSPLANTING, The city
dweller will find it almost impossible
to grow plants of first-class quality
of suet vegetables as tomatoes,
celery, or cabbages unless be has
other appliances snob as a hot -bed,
which enables him to start the seeds
very early in the spring and Some
time before tbey could have been
planted out in the garden, in order
that he may secure early crops. It is
good practice for him to purchase
plants which may be taken to the
backyard garden and transplanted
or set out in the garden at a required
distance and good healthy crops
grown from them, and in all caste
when purchasing plants only sturdy
and vigorous growing plants should
be accepted. Tomato plants to give
the best nesttlts should he eight
inches high, and the stalk should be
at least as thick as a lead pencil and
thicker if possible. If the plants al-
ready are in bloom this may be con-
sidered a very good feature. The
root system of the plants should be
large and having fine rootlets. When
transplanting individual plants care
should be taken to make sure that
quite a good deal of soil 15 left
around the root of each plant
