If a man is otherwise uimppruucliulile and flattery cannot

The linker chamber of commerce lias created a bureau of
athletics, or some such agency, to help promote sport activi
ties in Uie community such as baseball, football, etc. Sounds
like the beginning of a high school players "subsidy" like
those found in some colleges.
It's interesting to read of the mechanical "Imuran brain"
that a mathematician has created that will solve a problem
in higher mathematics in eight minutes that it would take
an expert a year to figure out on paper. What bothers us
is how long it takes an expert to think of such n problem.

of the state cars at 165000 for this

i average of three persons to the car.
that some Sou. aim tourists would
be in the state during liii'H. What
this means in terms of money to

observe the distances
apart recommended by authorities
which are given in thc catalogues.
These have been figured out by
careful experiment as to the root
area necessary for the bulb to pro
duce the best results. Tulips
should go five inches apart for the
single earlles. and six inches apart
for the late typea. Narcissi are best
at eight inches, as they make a
much larger root system. Tho
small bulbs may be tucked in an
inch apart for mass display. Hya
cinths need eight inches apart to
be at their best. " j
It is best to plant the bulbs at,
the proper depth and refrain from j
mulching except in eatto of hya-1
clnths, which arc such early risers
that a light mulch is advisable to
protect them from early rains and ;
freezes. In soils inclined to be
heavy it is best to plant the tulips
In raised beds so that the bulb'
when planted will be near the nor
mal level of the soil. The tulip
needs a warm summer ripening
and deteriorates in cold, heavy soil. .
