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

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.

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

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.

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. Because this In
dustry is local and in small units,
it is more open to attack by the
propagandists against private en
terprise than any other. The in

"At the forefront of these serv

cially true In the Northwest,
where retail lumber dealers have
published a group of 26 of their
own popular smallhome designs
as 'Western Living Homes.' The

an example. With an interior
