MONDAY, MARCH 6, 1939. PAGE FOUR PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL II HI 1 in iii'll nil ..-., Marking the Drills. For starting all plants which it is convenient to transplant into the gar den (and which accept such treat ment) the seed box is a useful device, even after the weather permits outdoor sowing. One great advantage of the box is that you know just where your seeds are; and can move them about, into the sun or shade as they may require. They may be kept where with little trouble watering can be done and fre quent inspections made to insure the seedlings are growing with proper vigor. Outdoor seed boxes, kept in sunny, airy places, meet few of the difficul ties which are common to indoor seed boxes. Damping off is seldom encoun tered; spindly plants are unknown and growth is more vigorous and rapid. An outdoor box started four weeks later than an indoor box will often have its plants ready to set out only two weeks later than the indoor plants; and in a few weeks more there will not be much apparent difference be tween the two sets of plants. Fill your box within an inch of the top with loamy soil, well sifted. If the bcx is put together with cracks be tween the boards no drainage holes are necessary; but if tightly made, bore holes in the bottom to let ex cess water escape; and cover the holes with broken pottery, to prevent soil from crcapir.. MEDITATE NON-PROFIT HOSPITAL SERVICE LINCOLN, Merch 3 (UP) A plan to obtain introduction of an enabling act at the present legislative session to permit establishment of a non profit cooperative hospital service re moved from the present assessment basis was under consideration today. Omaha and Lincoln men interested in low ccst hosptialization discussed the proposal at a meeting here. Omaha representatives reported that more than 50 persons have become mem bers of a non-profit hospital service started there Febr. 1 with the co- operation of Omaha hosptials. Under the proposed act, the co operative hospital associations would be under the jurisdiction of the state insurance department. Among the Omahans who attended the conference were Dr. Francis J. Bean of the University hospital Francis J. Bath of St. Joseph hospital and A. B. Griffith of the Nicholas Senn hospital. BLOW UP AQUEDUCT LONDON, March 2 (UP) A vio lent explosion at 2:25 a. m. today blew a hole five feet long and two feet wule in the Grand Union canal aqueduct, over the north circular road in Stonefcridge park. Water poured over the road. Police from Wembley rushed to the scene and cordoned it off. They found remnants of explosives and believe a bomb had been set off. Win dows in several buildings were shat tered but no casualties have been reported. A series of recent bombings have been attributed to the Irish republi can army which demands the with drawal of British troops from north ern Ireland. Laughing Around the World With irvin s. COBB A Beautiful Little Notion By IRVIN S. COBB UT'VE just written a piece which the manager thinks is a whiz," stated a young playwright at the Lambs' Club to a friend. "I thought you just said the producers liked it" "They do. Every man that's read it likes it immensely," said the dramatist. "Who'3 going to produce it?" "That's just the trouble, I can't find a producer." "Then what's the trouble?" "It's too short for a whole evening's show. The way it's written, it would end by a quarter past ten o'clock and of course it ought to run until five minute3 to eleven. I can't expand rt, either, without spoiling it. The action calls for just exactly so much dialogue and no more- and so there you are! I won't tack on any unnecessary scene3 or pacf out the acts as they stand. I'd rather lose a production than resort to such methods as that. I wish I could thini of something to do about it." "I've got an idea!" exclaimed his helpfuj frieai. "Why not havt all tie characters stutter?" Outdoor Seed Box is Handy Garden Device 1 1 1 1 J 1 1 ' JJ' P Sowing the Seed. Seeds in the outdoor box should be sown thinly so that it is not necessary to transplant the see dlings. This saves time and work, ar.d also speeds up growth. Each little plant should have space to grow. If the box is placed on a table, it is easy to be sure that the seeds are spaced far enough apart in the shallow drills which are made with the edge of a ruler. These drills, spaced an inch or two apart, will enable you to sow more seeds in ihe box than if you broadcast the seeds. You may also sow several "arieties, and mark the name and color on each row. "Where you sow only one kind of seed in a box and do not especially desire to economize in room, the seed may be broadcasted; and this will prob ably give the seedlings the maximum amount of room to develop. This method is often followed with very fine seeds, like petunias, which are scattered on the surface, and covered by raking the soil li ghtly with the edge of a ruler, or stiff cardboard, then firming it. A good way to keep from crowding seeds sown in drills is to put into the seed packet dry sand to the amount of three times the bull: of the seeds; this keeps the seeds apart and insures the seedlings ample room to grow. NAMES NEW AID WASHINGTON, March 3 (UP) Secretary of Commerce Harry L. Hop kins today named a leading business executive. Chairman Robert E. Wood of Sears-Roebuck company to aid efforts to improve government-business relations. Wood will serve in a temporary capacity as an adviser on business trends to Hopkins. He will have executive duties. The appointment was regarded as significant in view of increasing in dications as the administration has embarked on a program seeking to remove cause of conflict between pri vate industry and government. The exact part which Wood will play in the business betterment program was not indicated definitely. How ever, the commerce department said Wood would watch business trends closely. REPORT RUSSIAN-JAP BATTLE TOKYO, March 4 (UP) A news paper dispatch from Hsinking, Man chukuo, reported today that Rusian and Japanese - Manchukuan bordei guards were fighting- sporadically on the frontier near Manchuli and that 11 Rusians had been killed so far. The dispatch, published in the independent-Liberal Asahi, aserted that the fighting started when 100 Rus sians atacked Japanese-Manchukuan border guards. RIOTING RESUMED RANGOON, India, March 3 (UP) Hindu-Moslem rioting in which twelve persons were killed and 200 wounded yesterday was resumed to day. The attacks were kept isolated by a close patrol of British troops which prevented crowds from gath ering in the station. c-e-e-census cw v-v-yuH r Firming' the Soil. After the seeds are sown, and cov ered with soil, the dirt should be firmed over them. The object is to bring the seed in close contact with the soil, without air pockets to sep arate them. This contact is necessary to enable the rootlets, when they de velop, to take up nourishment. The next step is to soak the soil with water, without washing the seed out of place. The quickest and best way is to lower the box in a tub of water un til it soaks up enough from the bottom to wet the surface. Until the seedlings develop roots which anchor the plants substantially, this method is recom mended. The box should be watered daily. An outdoor box which is filled with loamy soil which lets excess water pass through freely can hardly be overwatered. Evaporation is always high, and one day's neglect may cause a crust to form on the soil and the plant growth to be definitely checked. When the plants have formed roots, watering with a misty spray from the hose will usually be safe. But be sure not to wash the soil and expose the plant roots. r In the spring the box may be kept in the full sun all day, so long as temperatures do not rise above 80 de grees. APPROVES APPROPRIATION WASHINGTON, March 3 (UP) The house today passed and sent to the senate the $499,857,936 war de partment appropriation bill, the largest supply bill for the military purposes since World war days.

Buell Sny der, D., Pa., of the appropriations committee, subcommittee which handled the measure, announced it was the first war department bill in 150 years to be approved by the house without a single amendment. 0SERVAT0RY SOON TO PUT 82-INCH LENS IN PLACE FORT DAVIS, Tex.

Seedling plants first develop a pair of what are known as "seed leaves." These are not really leaves, but look like leaves. They are followed by pair of true leaves, and it is a general rule that seedlings may be transplant ed after the true leaves form. In the outdoor seed box, however, if the seeds have been sown thinly, the seedling plants may be left without be ing disturbed until they are two or three inches high and have formed sturdy roots. They will reach this size faster if they are not subjected to tha shock of transplanting to another bo or pot. When the little plants are large enough, and their places in the garden have been prepared, carry the seed box directly to the place where they are to be set out. This will enable you to lift them from the box and set them in the garden soil with the slightest possible disturbance of their roots, and the least possible shock. A knife blade is a good tool to use in lifting the seedlings. The soil into which they are to go should be loos ened in advance, and plant food mixed with it to give the new plants ample nourishment when they need it most- while they are small and least able to forage for themselves!- Lift the seed ling plant, place it in the hole provid ed, and firm the soil about its roots. BANS ATLAS ADS WASHINGTON, March 3 (UP) The Federal Trade Commission sug gested today that Atlas the fellow who held the world on his shoulders probably didn't get that strength through a correspondence course.
