Associated with them are similar groups in several nearby cities, all pledged "to call together in their homes six to twelve friends to consider their responsibility as Christians toward building Christianity into the life of the world " Ralph W.

This method should be followed only if the early growth of plants indicate that the elements are lacking. Indications are stunted growth, poor color and weak plants. If the soil is known to be deficient in nutrients, the fertilizer should be worked into the soil when the seed bed is prepared- Three hundred to five hundred pounds per acre would constitute a moderate application. A common mistake is to apply too much fertilizer. Although heavier applications may increase yields, aftelr a certain point is reached the increased yield does not pay for the additional fertilizer used. The fertilizer should not be allowed to come in direct contact with the plants or their roots, for it is to plant tissues. • fcrK ' Explosive Kameiyft?*'.

More recently he has also been invited to hospitals in New Yors and has used more than 800 guestartists in helping him entertain children.

Rural Teachers Aid in Sugar Rationing school teachers throughout Illinois are planning to forego a week of their annual vacation in order to assist in registering citicens for sugar rationing, Henry Pope, Jr., rationing administrator, Illinois State Council of Defense, announced last week. With consumer registration set for May 4 to 7, inclusive, in elementary schools, Pope was confronted by the problem that most rural schools in Illinois close April 30. Officials of OP A in Washington previously had decided that school teachers throughout the country would register consumers under supervision of rationing officials. Pope appealed to county superintendents of schools to help solve the problem. He already has received assurances from a number of them that teachers in their counties have volunteered to remain over for the registration period.

Upon their decomposition the plant foods which they contain become 116.50' ava"a^e to other plants, and also *° during the process of their decomposition organic acids are formed which help to dissolve plant food already present in the soil and make it available to the next crop. Rye is a good 32 06 01 °P for green manure in vegetable oid gardening. Legumes, such as alfalfa, sweet clover and red clover, are desirable in that they may take nitrogen directly from the air and add it to the soil. When manure is not available and the growing of a green manure is not o practiceble, a gardener may apply nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium in the form of a "complete" fertilizer. A popular formula for vegetable gardening is a 4-10-6 analysis, meaning that the mixture contains 4 per cent |of nitrogen, 10 per cent of phosphoric acid and 6 per cent of potassium oxide. 21.18 138.60 3.00 *•0 3.01 105.00 16.06 55.91 11.86 CONSERVING vital materials for the big job of winning the war has necessitated certain Government restrictions on telephone equipment.
