Therefore, it is of greatest im portance to plant seeds according to directions on the packets. Ex tremely small seeds must be cov ered only lightly with soil, accord ing to Walter H. Nixon, vegetable expert. The will to grow is strong in seeds, but they have their limita tions. To plant a tiny seed, like the petunia, under an inch of soil is like burying a man under a 20- story building and asking him to push it away. Heavier, larger seeds, of course, may be planted deeper. Beans and cucumbers may be covered with three-quarters of an inch to a full inch of soil. Peas and corn sprout vigorously and may be planted from an inch to an inch and one-half deep. Many successful home garden ers actually cover peas and corn with an extra half-inch of soil after they begin to push through. This protects them from birds, and also helps keep weeds down.

HIW VOWS CITY Wages and Advertising 'T'HERE is a lot of advertising in this country and it has a defi nite purpose. It is there because our merchants want to sell us au tomobiles, chewing gum, tooth paste, refrigerators and oranges. They know that advertising helps to sell these things and thousands of others, and they know that it provides a valuable information service to consumers. That much is plain, but did you ever stop to consider that adver tising affects your personal in come? No matter what your occu pation, the amount of your sal ary or wages is affected by the total volume of advertising on the part of all manufacturers and storekeepers everywhere. This statement is worth examining. In this country, we produce and consume more than twice as much goods for every man, wom an, and child as is produced and used in other principal countries of the world. Why is this? Not merely because we have vast nat ural resources. Not just because we are better at inventing and or ganizing. It is mostly because tie all want so much to have the good things in life and because we have the individual ambition and ener gy to get them. The purchasing power of American people is used States' Names Louisiana was named for King Louis XIV of France. Ohio means "great river.” Virginia was named in honor of Queen Elizabeth of England. Maryland was named for Queen Henrietta Maria of Eng land. Minnesota means "sky-blue water.” Pennsylvania was named for William Penn, the famous Quaker. Florida was named for East er Sunday—Pascua Florida, the Spanish "feast of flowers.” Washington was named in honor of George Washington.

It creates desires for new things and encourages ambition for higher standards of living. Suggestions from the merchant’s advertising are often responsible for the purchase of a new living room rug, an automobile, better clothes, or a new kind of break fast food. Millions of purchases are in spired by advertising. When the volume of buying is high, business is good and there are many jobs. It is not only the ability of con sumers to buy goods but also their desire to buy that makes factories run at full speed. Advertising is one of the greatest stimulators of buying desire that has ever been known. New industries depend on ad vertising to get started. A fac tory is built to manufacture a clever electric razor. No one ever heard of such a thing before. Hardly anybody wants to buy the device until the manufacturer ex plains its advantages in a national advertising campaign. Almost im mediately, thousands of men buy these machines and the company increases production. The result is lots of new jobs for factory workers and traveling salesmen. Advertising has built many oth er new industries, big ones and little ones. Similarly, advertising has expanded countless old indus tries. Raw material and other re lated industries are directly bene fited. In every case it means more employment, more wages. Our whole economic life is speeded up, the national purchasing power is enlarged, and everybody’s income goes up. The merchandising force of ad vertising is very important among the various factors responsible for our having the highest wage level in the world, with a buying power nearly twice that in Great Britain, two and one-half times as great as in Germany, and more than ten times as high as wages in Russia. In more ways than one, advertis ing gives a lift to the pay enve lope. Copyright, 1939. Fast Thinking Saved This Forgetful Hubby He was conscious that trouble was brewing when he went out in the morning. When he got home that night he learned what he had done. With tears in her eyes his wife ex claimed : “I knowyou don’t love me —you’ve forgotten my birthday 1” “Darling,” he said, “I’m more sorry than I can say—but it is really your fault.” “My fault?” she exclaimed. “How can that be?” He took her hand in his. “How can I remember your birthday,” he asked, “when there is never anything about you to remind me that you are a day older than you were a year ago?” Pigs. Cows, Eggs by Air In northern Canada the air plane pilot is milkman, grocer, butcher, and heavy freight han dler to scores of isolated mining towns and trading posts, reports the Commentator magazine. Be sides the usual traffic in all sorts of mining equipment and dry stuffs that daily wings its way into the North, fresh food is also carried. Grapefruit today is a breakfast fruit even 200 miles north of the Arctic circle. Fresh eggs, milk and vegetables of all kinds are shipped in large quantities by air. Where there are many children, even live cows have been carried by plane to provide fresh milk. Live pigs and chickens are daily passengers on the northern aerial freighters. On the trip back, besides the usual run of gold and furs, planes have at least half a cargo of fresh fish. From Friend and Foe We learn our virtues from the bosom friends who love us; our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real form from a friend. He is a mirror on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection.—Richter.
