Garden Notes
By
, C B. CORDY
County Extension
Agent for Hortieulhir
Some of our lighter soils are
getting dry enough to work and
a few sunshiny days will bring
about the urge to start garden
ing. Soils should not be worked
when they are too wet as this
will cause the formation of clods
and the soil will work with dif
ficulty for the remainder of the
season.
A well prepared seedbed is
essential to the production of a
good garden. If the soil is nor
mally a little heavy and doesn't
work up good this condition can
be helped by the addition of
coarse organic material. Manure
and straw are helpful but these
rot out rather quickly so the
help is only temporary. A slow
rotting material such as sawdust,
if added in sufficent amounts,
will loosen up even our heavy
soils.
Two inches . of sawdust is
about as much as can be applied
to a garden and thoroughly mix
it with the soil. If more than
that is applied the sawdust will
be left in pockets and the garden
crops will not grow in those
areas. . By putting the sawdust
on about two inches deep and
then thoroughly mixing it, the
soil will be lightened up some
and if this is repeated each year
for a period of years it will be
found that the soil can be
worked much earlier in the
spring and you will have a nice
patch of light soil.
Sawdust should not be used
in anticipation of it ever turn
ing into fertilizer. In fact, it has
just the opposite effect in that
it soaks up the fertility in the
soil. This natural fertility is used
as food by the soil organisms
while they are decomposing the
sawaust. wnere sawdust, is used
it will be necessary to add 3
pounds of ammonium sulfate or
10 pounds of a complete com
mercial fertilizer to each 10x10
foot area. If the garden plants
lack a good green color- in the
summer it would indicate that
an nrirlitinnnl anlirnHnYi rf -
nurugen leruuzer was required.

Washington CU.R) If Frankie
Carle hadn't had a mind of his
own at age 5, he might be bang-
l n g cymbals
and pounding
drums today
instead' of
tickling ivo
ries. -
The person
al) 1 e piano
player told
me the story
of his musical
Harman Nichols Deginnings
during a chat at the Statler.
Way back there his uncle, a
professor of music, caught the
kid behind a stump in the woods
trying out a pack of cigarettes
he had found.
"Why don't you give up cigar
ettes,", said the old professor,
"and take up drupis. They make
a lot more noise than a cigar
ette." -
Frankie told his uncle that if
he didn't mind he would rather
do his racket-making on the pi
ano, which isn't as noisy as
drums and brass bangers. Piano
playing is what he has been do
ing with considerable grace for
a great many years.
Musical Background
In fact he wore out a lot of
pianos growing up to sell over
7,000,000 of his records and help
write such lovely tunes as "Sun
rise Serenade," and many an
other in the unique Carle man
ner. "Incidentally," Frankie said;
"while we are at it, I would like
to explode a myth that has fol
lowed me most of my profes
sional life. I seldom have any
arrangements on my rack, and
that has led to the rumor that
I play by ear. That's not true.
I ; have . a fine . musical back
ground. The rumors started, I
suppose, because I memorize
very fast. I not only can read
the notes, but I can write them
down."
Why. isn't the great player .of
modern- tunes in television? ,
"Politics," Carle replied.
"Let's let it go at that without
amplification. But I'm just as
happy where I am. Even on, the
road, we rehearse a show and let
it wear on the folks from town
to town. None of those unpre
dictable 13-week contracts."
While on the road with his
band and show, Frankie- says,
there is little need for rehears
ing more than a couple of times
a week.
"And that is only briefly," he
added, "mostly for our own
amusement."
At his home in California, the
artist has two pianos.
Cop Named Tune
"A beautiful Baldwin baby
grand," he said. "That's in the
living room. I bang that one only
when guests come in. I have my
own private fun on a beat-up old
upright in my den." -
And speaking of "Sunrise Ser
enade," Frankie tells the story in
his own words:
Al Leash 10 Die
In Algerian Clashes
Algiers, Algeria (U.R)
French North Africa, seethed,
with unrest today in the wake of
a day of clashes in which reports
said at least 110 persons were
killed! The 24-hour death toll
was one of the highest since vio
lence first erupted, in the terri
tories. ' '
The reports said an additional
51 persons were wounded in the
flashes between French security
forces and rebel bands in Al
geria and Morocco, and between
rival native political factions in
Tunisia. :
The biggest action took place
in Algeria where a band of more
than 150 "army of allah" rebels
engaged a heavy detachment of
security forces in an eight-hour
battle, in the Nemencha Moun
tains, 96 miles south of Con
stantine. The French said at least 42
rebels were, killed in what they
describe as a "major" action.
French losses were eight dead
and 20 wounded.

what we were going - to call it.

eases, poisonous or microbal ill
ness had caused the deaths. .

Union Blasts Plan By Westingfiouse
Pittsburgh 0J.R) The
striking International Union of
Electrical Workers . blasted a
back-to-work proposal by West
inghouse Electric Corp. today as
part of a campaign of "lies,
duplicity and misrepresenta
tion." . '
The proposal is a "sham by
which the company hopes to de
lude its employees and the pub
lic," Robert Nellis, chairman of
the IUE's Westinghouse Confer
ence Board, said. "Westinghouse
has provided a deplorable ex
ample of the low level to which
the business morality of a bil
lion dollar corporation 1 has
fallen."
The company . plan was an
alternate to one proposed by five
governors in which a fact-find
ing panel would seek a solution
to deadlock issues in the 123-day
strike of 44,000 IUE members.
LONG TIME NO SHAVE?

The J. B. Williams Co. received

advertisement was clipped from
a December, 1922 issue of the
National Geographic Magazine.
