Art of Leading
In any form of shooting at mov
ing targets, "lead" is ail-important.
Lead them and you will get them.
No man can figure out, experts say,
by mathematical calculation, just
how far to lead a flying target,
whether it be game birds or thrown
targets. Each presents at. individ
ual problem.
In game bird shooting, a high-fly
ing duck, a zooming grouse, an
erratic timber -doodle, a cackling
pheasant, the booming burst of Mr.
Bob White Quail, and all the rest of
them, present each individual with
the problem of leading.
The art of leading comes only
through experience in shooting. No
"shot" is over the same. A puff of
wind, a twig in the way, a slip of
the foot, a faulty swing, and many
other factors play important parts
in shooting that brings "home the
bacon."

Short Cuts to Better Gardens
??????? ?
?Photo Courtesy Perry-Mono Seed Co
Many a Victory Gardener haa learned a lot from experience in the port three
yean. Various knacks, devices, and methods have been found helpful in making
vegetable and flower growing easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable. Hera
are a few of them picked up here and there:
There's the quick trick of making furrows for very small seeds by laying
st. I t J1_ o.s st i a
UIC I llAC IUUIU1C lldl UU use ?1UUJIU"
parallel to other rows and pressing it
lightly into the soil. The soil, of colli-*,
must be of fine texture and well pre
pared. The shallow depression left by
the handle is just the right depth for
lettuce, carrot, and other tiny veg
etable and flower seeds which should
| not br planted more than a quarter
inch deep. Hie row can then be speed
ily covered by gently raking a thin
layer of soil over it and tamping it
down.
j Mixing small seeds with a hand.'ul of
sand or fine soil before sowing is a
good idea. This method keeps the seed
{ from blowing arqand and also from
being sown too Thickly.
Do you suspect the presence of that
crafty nuisance, the cutworm, in your
garden plot? The pest frequently
hides in the soil and nips off young
plants at the base during the night
while you sleep. Tomato and pepper
plants are often victims as well us
( other transplanted seedlings. To com
Ibat this enemy, a paper "collar" is a
handy device. Cut a strip of flexible
cardboard about six inches wide and
long enough to make the proper size
hollow cylinder for encircling the plant
you want to protect Fasten the lapped
ends together with a couple of paper
dips. Or, If available, tin a paper cup
with the bottom out oat SUde the
collar over the little plant when setting
it out sinking it about half way Into
the soil as ahown fa the Illustration.
If your garden la 30x75 feet fa size
or larger, plan to Include a wheel has
among your garden Implements this
year if at all possible. You can do
the job of cultivating in about one-third
the time It takes with a hand hoe.
Remember, however, fa laying out the
garden tor wheel hoe uee, a little more
space will be needed between rows
than for hand hoe cultivation. With a
wheel hoe you can travel up and down
the garden rows with little mors exer
tion than running a carpet sweeper
over a rug. Weeds are quickly de
stroyed, the soil is well stirred, and
there's seldom t beckecbe in fids
of ?kiden cere.
