He said that although a newcomer . to Weston, he had heard much of the Community gardens of the past sumâ€" mer and their success.. Fertility was the one great necessity and to secure this you must obey the fundamental laws of nature. Three things were needed to germinate the seed, moisâ€" ture, heat and air. Nature provided these, but man must prepare the soil to receive the benefits. Water logged soil would not allow free circulation of air, therefore improper drainag'e would bréak the connection and reâ€" tard growth. Plant food or in other words, fertilizer, sustained the plant after germination stage, and the sunâ€" light provided the heat needed for growth and development. Therefore the three laws of nature which must be observed in bringing the human body to the highest standard of perâ€" fection were also the underlying prinâ€" ciples in all plant life.. Principal Pearson| of the High School explained that the school had recently installed an apparatus for analyzing the soil the Society added to its option list seed potatoes, with a view to helpi)}g on "increase of production.. To such an extent did this appeal to the public that the membership was increased. ‘About 175 bags of seed potatoes were purchased and distributed among the members as options. Secondly, the Horticultural Society through the Reâ€" sources Committee secured a parcel of ground, which was set apart for the purpose of a community garden for the school children of the town. This required some energy and cash exâ€" penditure. The society feels assured that the expenditure in time and monâ€" ey has been well invested.
