Soil Study Important
A few minutes’ consideration of
the condition and make-up of
the soil in your garden just before
planting can make a marked differ
ence In your success as a gardener.
Clayey soils require the most
careful handling but are heavily
productive. Sandy soils are "early”
and sandy loams are just about
ideal for most home garden crops.
In some southern states two crops
may be grown, one in fall and one
In spring.
Peas, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli,
cauliflower, beets, carrots, radish
and onion prefer plenty of moisture
and moderately cool temperatures
during development These should
be planted about as early In the
Fall as weather permits In order
that they may make their early
growth before cooler weather sets
In.
These plantings will yield an
abundance of produce for use dur
ing winter months. Some of these
vegetables may be planted again in
early spring for green spring vege
tables.
The following vegetables are not
as hardy as those listed above and
are better grown as spring crops:
Sweet corn, beans, tomato, pepper,
egg plant, cucumber, melons,.squash
and pumpkin. They prefer abund
ant sunshine, and while they pros
per best when ample moisture is
available they are able to do well
during comparatively dry weather.
They^do best on loamy soils, but
carefully prepared clay soils pro
duce splendid crops.
Herbs do well in comparatively
poor -soil and maintain growth
under rather drouthy conditions.
Under the same conditions, radish,
turnip, parsnip, salsify and other
root vegetables may be expected to
perform fairly well.
If you must do some of your
gardening in ground that Is semi
shaded, try growing beans, radishes
or peas.'

Good Start Important
THE value of a garden plant,
vegetable or flower, depends
greatly upon the start it gets; so
give your seedlings ample care.
, Begin cultivation as soon as rows
are visible, if soil Is not wet. Work
close to the small plants, cultivating
shallower as they grow, to avoid
Injury to root growth.
^Cultivate often, at least once a
week. Three days’ delay almost
Roubles the work. (
Irrigating should not be necessary
for the first week or ten days after
seeds have sprouted. If ground is
baked hard and sprouts do not ap
pear, the surface may be disturbed
slighty to help the sprouts through.
Seedlings may be irrigated in two
ways: Mark a shallow trench about
four inches from the row and run
trench full of water, or, using a fine
spray, apply water from directly
above plants. Watering is most
effective when it closely follows cul
tivation. The best time of day for
irrigating is late afternoon or eve
ning.
>• If the garden appears definitely
backward it may be aided by a light
application of fertilizer. Ask your
dealer for advice as to the kind and
amount of fertilizer to use.
The best time for fertilizer appli
cation. however, Is before planting,
not after. It it is too late this year,
remember it next season. <
•Small plants should be thinned,
as directed on packets, to allow
proper development. Certain vege
tables may be used as thinned. For
Instance, onions thinned may be
used as green onions, and lettuce
may be picked for immediate use,
leaving smaller leaves to develop.

Soils Flowers Prefer
GARDENERS will have better suc
cess with their flowers if care
is taken to plant them in the most
suitable soil available, for certain
flowers have rather peculiar prefer
ences.
Even though you may have beds
or plots of good, rich soil, there are
some flowers that will not do as
well in it as they might in poorer
soil: t
The most satisfactory flowers for
soil that is generally poor are nas
turtium, love-lies-bleeding, Joseph's
coat, celosia, alyssum, California
poppy, calendula, love-in-a-mist and
hollyhock. t
Zinnia, petunia, portulaca, snap
dragon, stock, heliotrope, marigold
and salvia do best in a rich soil.
Soil that is heavy and which con
tains clay is good for sweet peas,
pansies, stocks, carnations, scahi
i osas, snapdragons and most of the
I popular perennials. In general, a
heavy soil retains more moisture
and is cooler than a light soil.
Plants that like a heavy soil also
like cool, moist weather.
Flowers that prefer a light soil
include petunia, portulaca, celosia,
hollyhock, love-in-a-mist, annual
phlox, calliopsis, nicotians and all
the climbers. This type of soil is
good for the varieties that like
warmth and do not require much
water.
For flower gardens that are par
tially shaded, calendula, balsam,
mignonette, pansy, vinca and many
of the perennials are advised.
The following, which require com
paratively little moisture, can be
grown well in gardens which dry
out quickly: Carpet of Snow alys
sum, African daisy, cosmos, petunia,
portulaca. kochia, sunflower, ver
bena and vinca. They will often
thrive during drouths.

USE of superfluous words is fre
quent in both writing and con
versation. “Hollow tube” is a case
in point By its very nature a tube
is hollow; if it weren’t hollow it
wouldn’t be a tube. “Actual fact”
is another example. That which is a
fact is an actuality, and that which
is actual exists in fact. To write or
say “It is an actual fact' 1 is merely
using a superfluous word to con
vey the same thought that “It is a
fact” conveys.

Modifying words, phrases and
clauses should be placed as close
as possible to the words to which
they relate. When this -is forgotten
odd' results are likely to follow, as

America’s growing taste for
cheese still lags behind that of
other countries. The Swiss, who are
the world's largest cheese-eaters,

A SOLUTION of washing soda and

will remove corrosion from storage
battery terminals. Coat terminals
with vaseline to prevent further
corrosion.
If the rubber weatherstrips
around the windshield are enclosed
in T-slots it is often a difficult job
to remove the old strips in order to
replace them with new ones. To
make a difficult job an easier one,
play a small flame from a soldering

CLASHED more than in half since 1928 — that is what
kJ happened to residential electric rates of the Georgia
Power Company. They've gone steadily downward, even
through the years of depression. And now, when prices
of cri'cr thi: s arc going UP again, electric prices are
still going DOWN; Just a few vecks ago, when com
plaints against the rising prices of other things were
steadily i» : riny, a cut of $455,000 a year in electric
rates was made for this Company's residential customers.
In the two y airs before, in 1935 and 1936, automatic re
ductions had been made on January Ist of each year. And,
in the year before that, in 1934, an even bigger rate re
cuction had b -en made, ml.acting every home we serve.
As recently as ten years ego, the great majority
of Atlanta homes wcr paying nkie cents a kilowatt
hour for t.. .• electricity, and that was the lowest
rate in Georgia for the amount of service used.
Many of the rtniller towns were paying 20 cents
and getting a mighty poor grade of service. Now
the top rate in all the territory we serve, rural as
well as city, is 6-^ cents — and it drops as low as
eight-tenths of a cent a kilowatt hour, because the
more you use, the less it costs per unit.
Use your electric service confidently, generously, to
make your home life easier, pleasanter. It's the biggest
bargain you’ll ever buy!

least $6 per year.
Like yourself, we could find plenty of uses for that $6. Some
member of the family is always in need of a new pair of shoes
or some other necessity. But at the same time your require,
ments for good reading material must be met. By accepting
these three novels each year we feel you are treating yourself
to real enjoyment, at the same time giving your puree a
