Here are three maiti reasons why raw material should not be used until it has been com- 1. It renders the soil less suit- able for plant growth, since de- caying vegetation needs nitro- gen to feed the organisms that bring about decomposition. Thus nitrogen is removed from the soil by bacteria and the soil .might become depleted. 2, Areas that need the humus are often occupied with grow- ing crops when the raw ma- terial is available. 3. Annual weed more likely to be killed b heating of the compost pile. One should bear in mind when starting the heap that, to work effectively, organisms such as bacterial fungi, and protozoa need ample moisture, oxygen and a suitable temperature. The best time to start making your heap is of course now or in early spring when there is more likely to be space avail- able. A good location for the pile is Partial Decay After a few weeks the insides of the heap will be partially de- cayed, depending upon the weather and the character of the material. If the pile is started now it may not be until -----t Tusa whee thie hannane Sica. wussw Weewss veces sempgpeeres At that time the heap should be turned so that the sides are in the middle and the top at the bottom. Turning should be car- ried out again in August and if the heap has been kept well watered it is quite possible that the material could be used in October of the same year. A lot of folks interested in composting vegetable matter often inquire about the use of activators which are widely ad- vertised. Nature is very slow in breaking down compost and this is where activators help. There are basically two types of compost activators, one be- ing a chemical and the other consisting of cultured bacteria. The chemical activator supplies the food for th» bacteria that decompose the vegetable ma- terial. You can use either tions made especially this or the complete chemi- cal fertilizer I have prescribed above.

Or- ganic gardeners prefer Mil- organite, or Torganite, nitro- genous organic fertilizers and some prefer bonemeal; but I think that the addition of complete fertilizer such as 7-7-7 or 10-10-10, which contains other elements besides nitrogen, more beneficial in the long run. ials by six-inch layers until the heap is four to five feet high.

ANCHORING LINOLEUM QUESTION: After three or four years, our kitchen lino- leum has begun to loosen at one of the beams. It is still in per- fect condition, as I am very careful to wash and mop it. Can you tell me why it is act- ing this way and what I can do about it?. Jack Valenti Tackles Job With Gusto HOLLYWOOD (AP) ~-- When ANSWER: It sounds to me as though all your diligent washing may have soaked down through a seam and loosened some of the linoleum paste. Just spread AILING HOUSE area with more adhesive, using a fairly long, narrow blade. Do the floor too, Then press the lioleum down, keeping it weighted until the adhesive sets, Wipe up any which may ooze up between the beams. It is very difficult to remove once it hardens. PIANO MASHED CARPET QUESTION: When we sold our grand piano and bought a play- er piano upright, two very deeply mashed dents in the car- pet were exposed. The feet of the grand piano had really bent those fibres flat. Is there any way to fix these? Or have you anew athar enodaetinne fae cat. = +4 o-~ ing rid of these eyesores? ANSWER: "ate steam such dents back some- where near normal. This is done by running a steam iron over the spot, so the steam can work down and loosen the fibres, Then gentle urging with a soft brush helps work the nap up. But with a piano doing the mashing I doubt if anything will work. Next time you re- arrange the furniture, either move the carpet around so the dents will be out of sight or manage to cover the dents with a throw rug. PATCHING PLASTER QUESTION: In one corner of our living room there are about five cracks. One above the other. They extend across just this one corner; nowhere else.
