jrEDFOTm "MTTL TRTBTTyE. M"ETJFORr. OREGON. SUNDAY, MARCH 1.' 1936. mm TT 77 -J J 5, AM the family can join In tha delight of growing; a gar den . . . and certainly all the family will profit by It completion, and revel In Its beauty, for tbe children there will be outdoor play and sonihlne, and the most beautiful way to learn of the wonders of nature. For the grown folks there will be exh I .crating exercise and the delight of creating growing things. Make yours a gardening family, and you will hare a healthier, happier family than ever! Ml I 1 Look Onr Reed List, And Plan Garden Early. Garden Dreams by the Fireside If you see someone these days with m look of elation on bis face (or hers) odds are that he Is a garden fan. All who share this enthusiasm stand on the threshold of their seaura of delight. The seed catalogs have ar rived, real heralds of spring! Those who think of garden fanii as queer persons, curiously Interest ed In seeds, rakes, sprays and fertil isers and strangely willing to waste afternoons of rino golfing wcathel digging In the ground, have a dis torted Tlew of the matter. There Is a sporting side of garden ing. Both physical and mental exer cise are abundantly provided by tins work of planting and cultivating and by the study of cultural methods through which one may grow earlier and larger crops than bis neighbor. Garden design la one of the fine arts in which amateurs who havu a talent for it msy find opportu nity for satisfying self-expression. They may create pictures which live and In which they may live. But In addition to these rewards there ts an emotional side to gsrdon Ing. It affords lta devotees a plentl tude of thrills, kliii, whatever you may term those pleasurable reactions In which excitement of the senses Is combined with an uplift of the spirit. Do you happen to know a dahlia fan? Engage him In conversation about hla favorite flower; It Is not hard to do. Then observe the rapt expression which comes Into his eyps as he describes the beauties of goldou Lord of Autumn or scarlet Satan. His words may not express the enchantments that possess him at the mere thought of their study, but his eyes will. It may seem strange to you that flowers which perhaps you remember as Just dahlias should be treasured In the memory as In' dividual,. You are like a man from Mara to whom all earth-people look alike. Observe more closely the flowers this summer. Expose yourself to the Infection. Learn the names of the different varieties, their color and character. If the power la In you to admire beauty for Its own sake you will not be long In acquiring an ap preciation which will give each gar. den month a new meaning for the rest of your life. To experience a thrill from the beauty of flowers It la not essential that you grow them. But If you grow them, then the pleasure of their beauty la multiplied. A plant from the florist's In the winter living room will lift your spirit with an echo of the summer garden's ecstasy, but in the flowers which you grow you discover beauties which you never knew existed. And the garden whlcl you have helped create la not merely a thing you admire, but something you possess, which becomes part of your life, oftentimes the pleasantest part. Bo do not wonder at the enthusi asm of gardeners and If you wlsn to share an Interest which can do so much to make life pleasant, son a pocket of seed this spring even a It Is only In a window box. A Scarcity of Double Stocks Amateur gardeners are wont to in quire for a solution to the problem of producing higher percentages of double stocks. It Is an Interesting fact that the double stocks are ate. He. and therefore do not produce seed for the reproduction of the species. The sturdy, unwanted, slngli stocks are the seed parents. Tho percentage of doublcness produced from seed of single plants Is only a tendency which hss definite limita tions, for. If anyone:wera so fortun ate as to produce a strain of stock seed which would prove to be 100 per cent double, their Joy would oe short-lived In the knowledge that uu need would be available with which to carry on. It Is said that the most vigorous seedling plants are usually the sin gles, and that by eliminating these from the seed box, the percentage of doubles will be greater. Othets claim they can Identify the doubles by the different form of leaf from that of the single. However, those who are not so cer tain of being able to separate the singles from the doubles In the seed ling stage, .resort to the expedient of planting stocks rather close togethei In the garden bed, thus, when the singles make their appearance, they may be discarded without affecting the mass. Successive light applications ol aluminum sulphate to the soil sur rounding hydrangeas will cause the blooms to assume a bluish csat. Ap plications of lime will Intensify the pink shades. The hydrangea Is there fore a splendid soil Indicator. BUCKINGHAM'S Ice Cream. Cat.ay and Tarty Specials. The Crest, J3tJ So. Central. GOOD GARDENING fl. ftpnile Work. Don't let your wnl for turning the good earth lead you to put ting a spade Into the garden too early, or be litre the lnl of the winter rains have dried out well. It's hard to say Just how much moisture is right, but here's good tent. Squeere a handful ot soil and drop It; If the soil re main stuck together It's too wet to work. Don't spare your back tn spading, and rake right along behind the spading, breaking up the lumps and clods while they're still m.Mftt. In sll esse manure or the beid available substitute should be turned under. The whole garden should be hoed over o a depth of four to five Inches to prepare It for planting after It has been spaded as deep as the good sou goes. Tomorrow 1' of AOtet.

The Ford V-8 engine takes up less space under the hood because of its compact design. And it is positioned forward in the chassis, in accordance with the most modern construction. More of the car's length can thus be used for passengers extra inches of leg room are provided in both the front and rear compartments. Wide seats are another reason for the big-car roominess of the Ford. All seats in all body types (except the indi vidual bucket-type front seats of the Tudor Sedans) hold three persons in comfort.
