When flower seeds largo, enough to handle are sown direct in the garden, place them exactly where you want the plants to stand, so the sturdiest seedlings may mature without experiencing the shock of transplanting. Sow three to five seeds to pro duce each plant desired. This will insure against failure of some seedlings from the disease and ac cidents which beset young plants. If several survive to the stage of vigorous youth, the excess plants may be considered as a bonus, and be removed to other locations. The method to be followed in this kind of sowing should be the same that is used for sowing vegetables in hills. Scoop out a shallow depression, and mix with the soil at its bottom a teaspoonful of balanced plant food: covering this with fresh soil so that the hole is nearly filled. Then sow the flower seeds, and cov er lightly with porous top soil, or specially prepared covering soil. Mark the spot with a stake, so you will not disturb it with cultivating tools before the seeds sprout. With flower seeds, even more than with vegetables, the depth to Mrs. George McFadden spent last week in Lincoln with her daughter, Janice, who was ill with the mumps. Janice is spending this week at home with her parents. Mrs. F. A. Bodeker and daugh ter, Mrs. R. C. Rhodes of Coun cil Bluffs were afternoon and supper guests 'of Mr. and Mrs. John Hansen.

The rule as to depth is that seeds be covered four times their diam eter. This is obviously too precise for practical use, since some seeds are so tiny it would take a microm eter to determine the sowing depth. There is no need for such pre cision, but the practical way to proceed is merely to press the tini est seeds into fine s,oil and sprinkle just enough earth over them to cover; while larger seeds are placed deeper, in the proportion in dicated by the rule. This covering soil is more im portant than the soil below the seeds. If your garden has much clay, and you have a limited amount of humus, the best place for it is over the seeds. The main point is to prevent a crust from forming, and it will pay in many cases to prepare a special soil for covering. Mix a third of your best top soil, passed through a sieve, with a third coarse sand, and as much peat moss, or humus from the compost pile. ters . and daughters, Norma and Chanene, of Omaha. Afternoon callers and lunch guests were Mr. and Mrs. Branson Stewart of Beatrice, Mrs. F. L. Chaplain of Lincoln. Mrs. Nelson Berger was in Lincoln from Monday until Thursday to be with her moth er while her sister, Allcgra, was working out in the state. The Nehawka chapter of the F. H. A. sponsored an Easter novelty sale Friday and Satur day before Easter. The sale was launched with posters and with an interesting display of hard boiled characters in a local stor window. It contained many new ideas for Easter decora tions. The profit from this sale is to go for a slip cover for the cot which the chapter recently purchased for the school.

George and Gilbert Kime were called out early in the morning and with their large bulldozer, and after several hours of work pulled the transport upon the road.

Here a general session and business meeting w-as held. One of the guest speakers was the state president of FFA. He spoke of some things of FFA which tie in with FHA. Lela Edmonds of Nehawka helped in counting the votes. Two of the girls tied but after a discussion it was settled fair ly. After the business meeting the girls went to the Student Union for dinner. One of the objectives of any convention is to meet people and the girls found the Student Union just the place for that. At dinner the girls compared notes of their own chapter with those across the table who came from other towns. Although they came from larger towns and attended a larger school we were proud that the Nehawka chapter was much more active. Many guests were introduced at the luncheon but the most interesting was a Home Eco nomics teacher from Germany. She taught in the section of Ger many where the local chapter sent packages of clothing. In broken English she told of the f conditions under which Home Ec. girls must work in Germany. Her classes were held in an old buildings and lighting and heat were very bad. The girls of Ger many learned to sew on very old materials. She was fascinat ed with the bright new mater ials that our girls use in their sewing. The theme of the banquet was International Good Will. It was carried out very well. Among j guests were two ladies from Germany, a student from the Phillipines and one frorfi Greece. "The Home of Tomorrow" was sung at the banquet by the Fair bury Chapter.
