I '; purlng April there were only a few njdaya when the children could get it (and put the soil In proper shape for planting. .The gardens on light SC-iU j were most easily cultivated, aa the i ground could e worked a hort time I after a rain and a light raking would bt iUfficicnt to put It into condition. good manyl garden on light soil wr planted before vacation and are ' now coming along In good shape. It for me to get to all wt impossible Schools before vacation, so quite a number had to wait till the last of the month before they could be plant ed, - Many children were disappointed In iot having their gardens planted early. , . . ' Planting Son Early. ''.;The pupils of the Alameda Park achpol were fortunate in getting their garden planted early. Practically every pupil in the school has a plot of gar den and all are showing a great deal Of. interest In the work. All pupils pay strict attention to the directions of the supervisor and all planting was finished in a short time. A small section of potatoes Is yet to be planted, tout Jhls was put off or. account ot the poor condition of the soil designated .for this crop. The pupils are going to form the name of the school in leaf lettuce on the bank in front of the garden. - ."The gardens that are located on heavy clay soil were hard to plant. The pupils at the Buekman school had more trouble than any others. The garden at Huckinan is composed of a heavy clay noil and the plots had to be worked over several times bef re -they could be planted. Kach time the Children were ready to plant a heavy -.ralti would ruin the texture of the Oil, thus making It necesary to spade ' ' tt beds aRuiii. At other schools a light taking would put the soil back - in condition. ' . Undaunted, by Bains. .' "The Feiuiwood civooi experienced the same difficulty, although not quite BO bad hm Hucvman. However, the pupils at bth schools were undaunt ed by the t a. I n m ii iid finally all plots ' were planted, but not till nearly all the other guldens were up and started along. t:i'tVe will have 37 school gardens.
