POWER MAHER I UP ONCE MORE People of Hartington Again Consider Proposal of Out side Concern Hartington, Neb. — (Special*— A mass meeting of the citizens oi Hartington has been called for next Tuesday evening at the city audi torium to discuss the electrical sit uation. A few years ago the citizens of the town and the Interstate Power com pany disagreed as to rates for elec trical service and a second company came in and erected a plant under a franchise which provided that when the plant had paid for itsell it would revert to the city. The rates wrere made much lower and then began a battle of existence between the two concerns. As a result of the conflict the new company lost money and was Bold to the high line interests. Now comes the interstate com pany asking for a new franchise *nd unification of the two systems. The council is considering the pro posed franchise and a group of citi zens circulated a petition asking that a mass meeting be called for the purpose of discussing the pro posal.

While grown as annuals because they bloom the first year, they are ceally perennials. They will survive the winter in the open ground in Veil drained- soil if kept dry over the winter. A box or heap of leaves ;ften will carry them through safe ly. The advantage of these older plants is that they come into bloom veeks earlier than seedlings and each plant furnishes a number of items. A cold frame set over a bed of snapdragons will bring it through safely. Snapdragon seed is fine and needs careful sowing not to get it planted so thickly that a large number of plants will not be destroyed In transplanting. It Is best sown in cool quarters. It germinates rather slowly and at first growth is slow, the seed leaves enlarging before the true leaves get into action. After this slow start, however, it grows rapidly and spins up to a spike of bloom. It has become a popular greenhouse plant. The tall giant types grown to one magnificent terminal spike are the kind used for greenhouse work. In the garden this type will do well but It cannot be expected to produce the magnificent spikes outdoors that it does under the controlled condi tions of heat and moisture in a greenhouse. A favorite method of growing the tall sorts is to let them grow until they have made 12 leaves. Then WOMAN FLIES 700 HOURS San Antonio, ’lex.—(UP)—Mrs. Jack Leon Echols, the former Vir ;inia Davis of San Antonio, has •pent mote than 700 hours in the air, many of them over Yucatan in Mexico, with her aviator husband, a Central American flier, --*«— What People Want From Franklin Star If one were to ask a number of people to say what the national, state and local governments should do for the benefit of the public, the answers received would probably In clude these: Reduce taxes; reduce pinch out the top, tie firmly to a stake and the plant will branch freely and make an oval bush cov ered with short spikes of bloom. This method produces the greatest amount of bloom from the plant. The half-dwarf sorts are usually considered best for garden use, al lowed to develop naturally. The dwarf sorts are used for edging The half-dwarf, tall and giant sorts have much the same range of color. Give the snaps a fcot of room to d1 velop in the tall sorts and sir; inches in the number of public off.clals and employes; reduce all public expen ditures. In the same breath many would probably demand that the government should also: Build more roads; provide better schools; enforce the laws more effectively; erect more public buddings; pay off public debts. It does not require a great deal of intelligence to compre hend that the accomplishment of these directly opposing objects is impossible. If people continue to vote bonds for roads, bridges, schools and public build.ngs, if they demand more officals of the law, better sanitary and health meas >"■“ so on, it is going to cost the lower growing kinds to produce a mass of bloom. They like rich soil but will do well in poor soil. They want full sun to do their best. It Is best to plant in beds of a single color for best grade effect and the snaps now' come true to color from seed to a large percentage. They can be used effectively in color schemes, having everything but a blue range. * ♦ — Recommends Oats As Emergency Hay For Eariy Seeding Pierre, S. D. — — Oats is recommended as the most satisfac tory emergency hay crop for early seeding by F. S. Wilkins, assistant chief in forage crops in the experi ment station at Iowa State college. He also recommends soy beans and sudan grass for seeding after corn planting. Oats and sudan grass are both good pasture crops, while rape can be used to excellent advantage, ex cept as pasture for miik cows, he said. The mid-season varieties of oats, Dcgreen, Green Russian, Sil vemaine and Swedish Select produce tne highest yields of hay, but the early varieties are satisfactory. Sudan grass will continue to pro vide pasture from a month after sowing until the first killing frost, Wilkins asserted, recommending it as especially valuable in furnishing an abundance of pasture during July and August, Rape used for pasture may be sown alone at the rate of five pounds an acre from April 1 to July, he said. It may also be sown with oats or as a mixture with clovers and oats. He recommended seeding clovers and timothy with possibly • little rape with oats in early spring to provide a pasture to carry throughout the season. Oats should be covered with a disc in the usual manner, he said, after which the clover, timothy and rape mixture can be broadcast and covered with a harrow. Rolling if recommended in case of drought. The emergency seeding should furnish pasture from the time the oats are seven to eight inches high, throughout the season and also through the 1932 season, Wilkin* said.
