AMATEUR FARMERS’ THIS 
YEAR. 
= Ss 
Manchester is taking hold of the 
campaign to increase the production 
of vegetables, by means of the home 
garden, in a most enthusiastic man- 
ner. People who have not bothered 
to plant a garden for years are this 
year cultivating tracts of land and 
many amateur gardners have leased 
larger tracts than usual and are go- 
ing after their “farms” with a ven- 
geance. For the benefit of any who 
cannot or have not secured land for 
a garden and desire to do so the sub- 
committee, on food production and 
conservation, of the public safety 
committee has a list of available land. 
Anyone desiring a tract should get in 
touch with Austin Morley, chairman 
of the committee, at once. He will 
be glad to render any assistance in the 
power of the committee. 
In accordance with the general plan 
for increasing the acreage of land de- 
voted to the production of soild vege- 
tables the trustees of the public lib- 
rary have had the lawn in front of 
the library building put in condition 
for planting. Following the harvest 
next fall the land will be seeded to 
grass again. 
The Park commissioners of Man- 
chester have awarded a contract for 
the ploughing of Masconomo Park to 
MANY 
= MANCHESTER 
Semons & Littlefield. The board will 
put the land into a crop of potatoes 
and will cultivate and harvest the 
crop themselves, instead of letting 
out the land to private individuals. 
The selectmen have leased a piece 
of land near the Almshouse which 
will be planted to potatoes this year. 
The proposition to plant potatoes on 
the Tuck’s Point property of the 
town is still hanging fire. 
CopLEY THEATRE. 
PA SE ENIT te sparkling 
comedy “The, Case of Rebellious 
Susan,” in which the noted English 
playwright discusses things matri- 
monial, is to be the offering of the 
Henry Jewett Players at the Copley 
Theatre next week. The dialogue of 
the piece is crisp and full of life, and 
in certain scenes rises to a standard 
of literary brilliance comparable only 
with the works of such writers as 
Shaw, Wilde and Dunsany. Though- 
out the play the humor is delicious, 
and there are character parts that are 
delightfully droll and with a touch of 
caricature to make the creation more 
effective.
