Tips From Garden Notebook By A Klamath Qardener Whether one la a gardener or not, who la not thrilled by the early spring blooming bulbs? Daffodils and tulips are about the most common of the early flowering bulbs, and which most of you are quite familiar with and which do ... well in this country. Tulips do so well here In most locations that it la t shame that, there are not thrifty borders or bods of them In more gardens. Most of the spring flowering bulbs are so simple to grow and the varieties are so many that succession of blooms cf some kind of bulb or tuber may be had from the time the enow be glna to melt until the other spring and early summer flowers begin to bloom. In fact, some of the braver types start peeping through the snow Itself, Now it the time to start plan ning for that early spring bulb garden. For those who are Just gotting start at this fascinat ing hobby, lot me suggest, that from years of experimenting and early disappointments It pays to get good growing stock, even if one has to start with only half doten or so bulbs at time. A good many of us have got ten our start from the thinning of some neighbor's bulb bed, and while it is good way to do and at least better than nothing, we do get the discards and while many of the bulbs will grow in time to produce more or less sat isfactory flowera, we should not be disappointed If our flowers are not as showy as our friends. As , our own beds grow and the bulbs multiply they can be dug and re planted, sorting out the poorly shaped and Inferior bulba, thus building up our own stock to a certain extent. Tulip bulbs should be planted obout six Inches deep In good rich soil, but the bulb Itself should bo planted In a pocket of sand. Any fertilizer coming in to contact with the bulb Itself es pecially If the location la in clined to hold too much moisture, will have a tendency to rot the bulb. A thin loycr of strawy manure over the bed will help to produco showy flowera next spring. In order not to have too sparse a look, the bulbs should bo planted at least four Inches apart and In double rows If a row effect Is desired. A row of several bulbs across will be more effective yet. It Is much more satisfactory to have larger groups and less of them than IN TREATMENT i ' ?ft 1 ' . . fT " - .-v 'if taW. I' .'' to have a few bulbs scattered here and there In the garden. Once planted, a bed of them can stand several years, although If tho bulbs are replanted every two or three years tho flowers will be larger and much more showy. Also the growing space should bo moved every time they aro replanted, as the ground gives out Just as It does in grow ing potatoes. Thero is so much to be said about the different kinds and varieties of bulbs that it will take several weeks to cover their his tory, which is so interesting, and the kinds and their growing hublta. LOW-COST PROJECTS ARE 9 PER CENT OF BUILDING IN '40 Approximately nine per cent of all urban homes built in the United States during the first six months of 1040 are contained in low-rent public housing pro jects financed by tho United States housing authority. More then 240,000 now homos were provided In tho non-farm areas of the United States dur ing the first half of this year, according to the United States department of labor. This was an increase of eight per cent over the first half of 1930. L!e$ in her Home - Owning Citizeni and the men who ere going ' out of those homes to defend the ideals they learned there.

Swan Lake Moulding Co. 3226 S. 6th St. I E It Is during the canning sea son Hint a modern stcp-and-labor-snvlng kitchen Is most appreci ated, soys the Plumbing and Ileullng Industries bureau. The backache, which was the usual accompaniment to carry ing large pans of fruits or veget nbles from sink to table to stove In the course of their prepara tion for canning In the old-fashioned kitchen, simply Is un heard of by the modern house wife whose working units are streamlined together by counter tops of the correct height. Inasmuch as a large share of the work incidental to canning centers around the sink, it is im portant that this fixture be of the modern labor-saving type, A double-compartment sink of acid-resisting enamel provides ample space for washing fruits and vegetables with never a wor ry about stains or blemishes from acids or Juices. A removable strainer catches parings and seeds whllo a safety ledge on the back of the dralnboard offers a convenient, place for Jars and glassware. All good methods of home can ning depend on tho underlying principle of killing bacteria and preventing their future develop ment. For this reason absolute cleanliness In every step of can ning is essential. Enameled cast Iron sinks with integral drain boards have no cracks or crev ices to provide a lurking place for germs. The smooth surface of the enamel and the rounded casy-to-clean corners offer pro tection against contamination of foods. A retractable hose on the sink that sprays tempered hot or cold water simplifies the cleaning of the food, removing skins from fruit or vegetables, sterilizing Jars, end other tiring processes of conning. After washing the fruit, all utensils such as paring knives, kettles, condiments, etc.. needed in the next step in canning, are within arms' reach in the steel cabinets beneath the sink, the counters and on the wall around the working units. Since the pantry Is a cubby hole of the past, every item that formerly found refuge on a hook, nail or shelf in the pantry, la now In one or the other of the cabinets. With this conveni ent arrangement, the housewife never finds it necessary to leave large pans of simmering food Real Security KITE WE I IN FALL Here's the '- I-r-X ,4 Tif&J&iisf XI iiiiii LivmO doc nMFm With government building permit figures showing that over 240,000 dwelling units were built in non-farm areas of the United States during the first half of 1940, and with FHA acceptances of mortgages for appraisal ris ing In volume, there is every in dication that 500,000 or more new U. S. homes will be built this year, according to W. C. Bell, chairman of Western Homes foundation. 'This rising tide of home building and the shining outlook for it In the face of a war situa tion have finally silenced anti bulldlng industry propaganda," Bell declared. "In 1938, when while she rummages around on a high shelf or in a low dark corner for what she needs. Storage of pots and pans Is centered near the range; utensils used for the cleaning and pre paration of foods are stored in the roomy cabinets under the sink; and all accessories are eas ily available for each operatton. When the food has been cooked and placed in Jars, the housewife hardly moves a step to the cabi nets where -it is a matter of but a few minutes to store her food away for use when needed. Climbing on a chair to store jar after jar on some out of the way shelf in the pantry, or making endless trips up and down the basement stairs to the old-style fruit cellar, are wasteful motions that are outmoded today. Cabinet sinks offer many la bor and time-saving devices in cluding a towel drying rack, a place for soap, steel wool, chips, dish cloths, and all articles that are needed for cleaning up when the canning Is finished. The cabinet drawers slide easily, close quietly, and are lined with linoleum to deaden the sound. Dial 316? Clearwater Western Homes foundation was first launched, the Industry was being subjected to a barrage of attacks from all sources. The most conservative publications Joined with the most revolu tionary radicals In the enterprise of smearing an industry that was still struggling out of the depres sion from which building suf fered the most. In every such attack the housing shortage re vealed In 1936 and 1937 surveys was overplayed, while Isolated bad spots of building were pre sented in terms of a nation-wide situation. Each prophesied that the U. S. building industry would fail in meeting the need for small homes. "Western Homes foundation exposed these propagandists as false prophets. That exposure has been sustained by the home building record of 1939 and the steadily increasing rate of 1940, particularly In the small-home field. " 'Beware of false prophets!' The wisdom of that old saying has been proved again. In these times It needs to be taken very much to heart by everybody. When all sorts of wild, melodra matic charges are raised against any private enterprise, with predictions of disaster for the public, the simple factual evi dence of what has happened in home building during the past three years should be remem bered. "Home building, for all its national Importance, is a local industry. It is made up of your retail lumber dealers, building contractors, architects, realtors, financing institutions, heating, plumbing and electrical contrac tors, and the men of the building trades your fellow townsmen, your neighbors.
