class, as are living room and kitchen. The living room is

window near the fireplace. It furnishes an Ideal spot for
conversation grouping. An excellent feature is the two
wardrobes In the master bedroom. Also admirable is the
bedroom'v window area, and the convenient bathroom

kitchen permits traffic-free work space, while being spa-
cious enough for a dinette set. Storage space for garden

Laywomen Retreats
Dated at Ml. Angel
Mt. Angel The dates were
announced today for the two
Laywomen's Retreats which
will be conducted on, the cam
pus of the Mount Angel Wo
men's College this summer.
Rev. Father Albert Bau
man, O. S. B., editor of the St
Joseph's Magazine, will be the
retreat master for the June rev
j treat,' June 11-14: -
i The second retreat, schedul
ed for August B-9, will 'be di
rected by the Rt.Rev.Damlan
Jentges, O. S. B., abbot of Mt.
Angel Abbey . . '.
The Benedictine Sisters, who
are sponsoring the retreats, are
receiving reservations and in
qulries now, and all reserva
tions should be made not later
than one week before the open.

Dallas Juveniles
Act Like Juveniles.
Dallas A group of Dallas
Juveniles ran wild Tuesday aft
ernoon and evening. Young
sters traveling in cars had fill
ed balloons with water, and
distributed them from their
moving cars to other moving
automobiles as well' as pedes
trians. The teen-agers seemed
not to discriminate in their
bombing as they threw them
at all age pedestrians and into
any cars.
This "sport" started in the
afternoon when the high
school group was dismissed
from school and continued on
into the evening after the
show.
No charge had been brought
against the youngsters concerned.
First of all the soil must be
fertile. Fertility is the quality
that enables the toll to provide
the compounds in proper
amounts and balance for grow
th1. Soil, in itself, is the decom
position of many constituents
that Nature has changed into
various chemical compounds,
which, in turn, are made avail
able to tne plant through its
roots. I
Not all tolls are of a texture
that allow p-oper availability
of these nutrients to the plant
because they are either too
heavy or too light Heavy soils,
such as clay, gumbo or muck,
attain this structure because
the granules are compacted and
stick together in lumps, while
the granules in light soils contain-
sand or other elements
that do not allow the granules
to stick together. In both cases,
the texture of the soil can be
improved by adding humus
and, at the same time improv
ing aeration and drainage in
both soils. -
Elements Needed
Most plants require 15 of the
nutritional compounds or ele
ments that nature supplies to
plants. The chief of. these, or
the "Big 3" are nitrogen, phos
phate and potash. The balance
are known as trace elements
because they represent small
quantities and because a plant's
menu calls for only small
amounts of them. Soil must be
porous so the roots can spread
out and at the same time these
elements find their way to the
roots. If it is not, then we must
correct the texture of the soil.
The addition of humus will
probably accomplish this and
may add most, if not all. of the
nutritional elements needed.
The new, and very popular
chemical soil conditioners have
been proved to accomplish
such feats when properly ap-
puea, making normally "poor
sou workable and satisfactory
lor piant growth.
Soil management is not com
plicated. You need only be con
cerned in your garden with "Is

but not an excess of the "Big

ing at the soil if it has an ex
cess or a deficiency in certain
elements (although the effect
on plant growth is often a good
indication). The best plan is to
have your soil tested each year
and, if a deficiency shows, cor
rect it. Finally, for better
plants generally fertilize gen
erously with well rotted cow
manure, the product of your
compost heap, or one of the
many commercial products
available to 'initiate bacterial
action in the soil.
What They Do
Now, let's look at the ele
ments in the soil to see what
they do. First is nitrogen. Most
gardeners recognize a nitrogen
deflclnecy, The leaves become
harsh, fibrous and pale. Nitro
gen promotes leaf growth, and
darkens to a nice green color
ing. Next is phosphrouos, it is
essential for the development
of growing tissues. Stunted
growth of a plant may be a
symptom of phoptphorous de
fidency. The next important
element is potassium. This is
an element essential to color.
It is often missing in soil.
Calcium Essential for (row.
ing tissues. -
Magnesium Essential be
cause it is a constituent of chlo
rophyl. It helps the plant sb
sorb phosphates.
Sodium Apparently neces
sary since it exists in soil but
its purpose Is not determined.
Chlorides No soils are de.
ficient in chlorides but' some
plants appear benefited by ex.
tra application. . ;
. Trace Elements Other ele
ments are present in such small
quantities they are hardly no.
ticr.able. These Include iron,
manganese, zinc, copper, mo
lybdenum and boron. Most fer
tilizers contain all of these ele.
ments even though only the
"Big 3" are shown on the for
mula. ' .
: Liquid and soluble plant
foods have been developed to
such an extent in recent years
tnat "plants never had it so
good!" These make easy fertil
izing and yet provide all of the
elements necessary to lush
plant growth and a heavy pro
duction of flowers or fruit.
Heavy soils, such as adobe, are
not tne drawbacks as common
ly supposed. It is the work
ability, not the fertility that is
objectionable. It cam best be
worked during that period in
the spring when it is drying
out. The new chemical soil con
ditioners can help, too, and the
use of lots of organic matter,
manure, compost, sand or saw.
dust will aid in correcting this
soil condition.
Acidity Important
The acidity of the soil is an
important factor, to many
plants, in fact it may mean
success or failure hence testing
for pH Is Important. pH 4.0 Is
about as acid as rhododendrons
will tolerate while a pH of 9,0
is about the limit of alkllinity
for most plant life. A knowl
edge of each special plant's re.
quirement of pH it extremely
helpful and may save lots of
trouble later.
Lime it used to counteract
acidity. Wood ashes contain
about 50 per cent lime and
have a beneficial effect in
lightening toil. Much improve
ment can be had by properly
draining the toll and correct
ing heavy shade, both factors
Thief!" He referred to our all
too common practice of home
contractors and housing project
engineers scraping off the thin
layer of top soil and pushing it
into low places to make a level

and, in so doing, leaving onlv
