Hartington, Neb. — (Special*— A
mass meeting of the citizens oi
Hartington has been called for next
Tuesday evening at the city audi

A few years ago the citizens of the

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

SNAPDRAGONS ARE LONSWkRtl)
ONE OF BEST GARDEN ANNUALS
Snapdragons or, as they are be
coming well known by their botani
cal name, antirrhinums, are one of
the finest annuals for the garden.
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

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.
