A question which every home
".. gardener should - answer before
he sows a seed this spring: How
many seeds should he sow for
every plant he expects to grow?
It is not uncommon for a bun
dred seeds to be sown in space
sufficient for ten . plants. This
H means a crop -reduced by crowd-

pended on thinning out the ex
cess plants.
There is good reason for sow
Ing more seeds than will be al
lowed to grow, but when this Is
overdone there is a waste of seed
and work.
Seeds that germinate slowly
such as carrots, parsley and par
snips, should be sown more thick
ly than others because the seed
lings are feeble, and the force

of many acting together helps
break the soil crust and bring the
sprouts to the surface.
I H. Bailey, dean of horticul
tural teachers, expresses this
opinion: "Thinning! is a process
of selection, land the best are
allowed to remain. lit is evident
the chances of obtaining the best
are greater when jthe gardener
leaves one plant out of ten rather
than one plant out or tnree.
But real selection la impossible
If seeds are sown So thickly the
roots of the tiny plants become
entangiea, ana it is impossible
to remove single plants without
disturbing neighbors. The thick
est sowing, therefore, should al
low each seed sufficient .space to
develop as Individual.
The surest way j with small
seeds is to take a f few in hand
and let them fall through the
fingers Into l the j light furrow
which has been prepared. Get
close to the ground, and with a
little practice you ) can quickly
acquire control so that the seeds
will be evenly distributed, each
sufficiently distant from the next
to prevent entanglement
Keep the seeds in Una as well
as you can. It helps to let the

QaesUons and Answers
L. L. D. asks how to pronounce
gladiolus plural.
Ans.: IH take the liberty to
quote from Sunset's garden book:
"More and more gardeners have
decided upon 'gladiolus' for both
lingular and plural, with the ac
cent on, the 'o.' Differences of
opinion, however, are the spice
of gardening, so if you prefer
gladiolus, gladioli or even glad
ioluses for the plural, stick to
your guns. After all, the 1 end
ing is Latinly correct, although
the world often ignores this in
the process of anglicizing a word;
and as for the last named above,
well, there is such a word as
galluses!"
I. H. asks how early dahlias
may be planted.
Ans.: As soon as all danger of
frost is over. Dahlias freeze very
easily and we frequently do have
some rather late frosts. Some
growers say they gets best results
U the tubers are planted no
earlier than May 20. Other plant
late in April or early In May.
T. S. T. Was told that straw
berry weevil will injure rhodo
dendrons and azaleas. Is this so,
and if it is, what should one do
to control?
Ans.: A sprinkling of poison
apple pumace, readily procurable
at seed stores, placed around and
beneatn the bushes, controls the
adult beetles as they emerge from
the ground, while; an occasional
watering of rotenohe, at the rate
or. one teaspoon to a gallon, dis
courages the larvae. The bait may
kill birds In the garden, too, and
some gardeners put a fine wire
netting over the ground choose
one too fine for birds but not
fine enough to keep out the
beetles. Don't, as one gardener
did last year, cover the bait
closely with cheese cloth. In the
primrose bed, keep about one
teaspoonful around the crown, and
under the leaves of each plant
during the spring-summer season,
replacing it each time a rain
washes it away. This pest has
become a real menace to our
mid-Willamette gardens. Some
Portland gardeners report there
is little trouble with it there. We
can't say the same here.
Grand Island
Pupil Winner
In Art Work
GRAND ISLAND Elwin James
Mandigo, age 12, 7th grade stu
dent from Grand Island school,
has been notified he is one of the
nine first-place winners from this

ful" crayon art competition for
kindergarten and grade school
students.

X. W. Mandigo of Dayton. He will
receive a mounted engraved
plaque. National winners, chosen
from state winners in each grade,
will be presented with $500 gov
ernment bond scholastic fund
awards. Over 60,000 drawings
were entered.
It is hard to say who is the
more excited about James' suc
cess, he or his teacher, Mrs. Beaty,
under whose guidance fledgling
artists from Grand Island school
prepared their entries.
