'Don't Cook flow
but ... looking at the ardiitecfs draw
ing of tho proposed county courthouse, we
wonder why the officials don't just hire the
top designer over at the Salem Box factory
and save the county some money on fees.
His rates are probably low.
Makes it legal . . . Us Democrats, we do
things up right We don't swear on just one
Bible, we swear on two Bibles.
Without a care . .' . looking out of our
frosted window this morning at the shrub
bery beneath, we saw brand new shoots
of pale green on the daphne, as if it hadn't
been a cold, hard winter. Why the little
shrub looks like it is ready to burst into
bloom!
' About time . . . -Don't believe what the
political writers say about the legislators get
ting underway with their pile of work --it "
isn't 'so. tnere are only three milk cans out
on the window sills at the Marion hotel. Wait
until the front of the building is literally cov
ered with orange crates of canned milk,
cheese, coke bottles, and other evidences of
life, that' the real barometer of what's
cookin'. . . .: Maxine Buren

Pictured here Is Inexpensive equipment which will insure ample light
and water ta home-grown seedlings and protect them from disease,
Just like in grandmother's time,
some light window in the house
is still a good place to start plants
indoors.
However, improved methods,
which take the "guess out of the
project have been added. In oth
er words grandmother's methods
of sowing garden seeds In a box
to grow in the kitchen window
during the late winter and early
frosty spring have been subject
ed by experiment stations to a
series of figid tests. Sometimes
grandma succeeded, and some
times she failed; without exactly
knowing why.
Science must know why. If all
the protective measures which
have been recommended in the
last few years were applied to a
single seed box here is what it
would have:
Automatic watering, by the wick
method, to make sure the soil
never dried out.
A layer of sphagnum moss on
top of the soil, in which the seeds
were sown to prevent diseases, es
pecially damping -off which can
not develop in th anti-biotic
moss.
A lamp, preferably fluorescent,
suspended a foot above the box,
so it can be turned on to supple
ment the daylight, whenever light I
is needed.
Eoaipeaeat Nat CaaUy
With this equipment, none of
which is expensive, any amateur
gardener ought to be able to sow
aeeds of flowers or vegetables in

A. Sprague Wednesday at 1:30
pm to plan its program' for the
coming year.
an indoor box, and bring the
seedling plants up to transplant
ing -size without disaster.
Most important of these devi
ces is probably wick watering,
which is as simple as an oil lamp.
A wick, preferably of fibre glass,
is passed through a hole centered
in the bottom of the box. The top
of the wick is imbedded in the
soil, the bottom drops into a pan
below the box, and as long as
there Is water in the pan the soil
wilj he kept moist. With a large
enough pan you can leave the box
for days without attention.
Fungi Prevented
Sophagnum moss will not allow'
plant fungi to develop. By spread
ing a layer of moss on top of the
soil, sowing, the seeds in it. and
covering lightly with more moss,
germination will be quick, and
loss by disease nil. But the moss
will not take up water from be
low, and 4f wick-watering is used,
it must bs watered from above
until the seedlings grow roots
which reach the soil.
Artificial lighting is not neces
sary where a south window, un
shaded by outside trees or build
ing, is available. But where it is
not, if a fluorescent lamp is hung
over the box. as indicated by the
diagram, and kept lighted all
night, the plants will get enough
light. It will not be needed until
the plants sprout. Mazda lights
may be used, but they should be
hung higher, . so that the night
temperature of the box does not
rise above 65 degrees.

Taylor will publish hTs 'encyclo
pedia again.
Ans.: The'second edition of "The
Garden Dictionary",, published in
1936. has been reissued as "Tay
lor's Encyclopedia of Gardening"
(edited by Norman Taylor. 1.225
pages. Boston: Houghton Mifflin
company and the American Gar
den Guild. $5.) It has been re
vised, re-checked and enlarged by
more than 1,000 entries. Draw
ings, diagrams and maps supple
ment the text. The old Taylor's
has always been one of the best
of its kind and the new (although
somewhat more expensive, as ev
erything else is) has lost nothing
and gained a lot in the revision.
R. H. asks how many years will
the same gladioli bulbs produce
blooms.
Ans.: This depends on varie
ties. Usually best results come
from corms in ' the second and
third year. One grower told me
she had had good results for sev
en years but this would be unus
ual. G. C. asks when to spray roses
with lime sulphur in winter.
Ans.: In late winter but before
the leaves appear. After the leaves
appear start spraying with an all
purpose spray and c o nt i n u e
throughout the season.
