MARCH 14 Whispering Oaks Woman's you can get an early start on spring by growing plants with things usually discarded in the kitchen. According to Nancy Moore, University of Illinois Home Economist, sprouted potatoes or sweet potatoes can be put into a glass of water and will repidly grow into at­ tractive plants. Beautiful plants can also be, grown from fruit seeds that otherwise would end up with the garbage. Seeds from lemons, oranges, grapefruits, avocado's etc., can be used as school science projects, for a simple decoration in that empty room space or just for that feeling, "I grew it myself". Tin cans can be used for starter pots. Vegetable scraps can be ground, mixed with some soil, fertilizer, water and bagged. Over a period of weeks, the bacteria and the fungi will convert the "garbage" into compost for future planting. When starting plants from seeds in fruits, choose the ripe usually germinates sooner than from seeds from less ripe fruit. Seeds from citrus can be planted directly into the potting soil. Moisten and keep warm until germination takes place. Avocado takes a lot more time, and effort. Support the pit in a glass of water by sticking 3 toothpicks into the sides of the pit and resting them on the rim of the glass. Hie pointed end of the pit is the top. Keep the bottom immersed in water. When a root. ..appears at the the bottom of the pit, carefully plant in potting soil so the pit is half exposed above the soil line. Most of the plants from citrus and avocado seeds will do well in bright light and 30 percent humidity. Soil should be kept moist, but not wet, and the plants should be fed every 3-4 weeks when plants are actively growing, says Nancy Moore. For those who want to try growing mangos, make sure that the little eye in the pit is facing up. When planted right side up, a ripe seed should germinate in 3-6 weeks. When planted upside down, you may have to wait 12-15 weeks for a sprout to appear. To start a mango, take a pit from a fresh, ripe fruit. Scrape off as much flesh as possible (use an old toothbrush and warm water). This must be done to reduce chances of rotting. Soak the pit in tepid water for 3-5 days; then transfer to potting soil with the pit's eye up. Soak soil thoroughly, let soil dry slightly before watering again (5-7 days). Keep in bright light. The new shoot may get six inches tall before leaves appear. For more information on planning your summer garden contact the University of Illinois Extension Service at 224 W. Judd street, Woodstock, or phone 338-4747 for your com­ plete guide to growing Vegetable Gardens in Illinois. Ask for U of I publication No. C1150, "Vegetable Gardening in Illinois".

There were quite a few things on the agenda at the Feb. 6 meeting of the Marcia Mary Ball circle, one being the for­ mation of the craft group. The weather was not too good, so the attendance on Monday, Feb. 5 was scant. The craft group will continue to meet at 10 a.m. on Mondays, and trust the weather will improve so more ladies can attend. Several items have been decided upon, and the group will work on these at the next get-together. Even though the weather left something to be desired on Tuesday, there was good at­ tendance at the circle meeting. All were happy to see each other, as many began to have "cabin fever" from being snowbound. Ann Demke had the Meditations, which were taken from "Daily Guideposts 1979", and which everyone enjoyed. All the circle members en­ joyed an afternoon of good fellowship, and had a real "Gab Fest" relating things that had happend since the last meeting. Cleda McCracken and Helen Lundy were hostesses. Ann Demke will be the hostess for the circle meeting on Tuesday, March 6 at noon. Circle members bring their own sandwiches, and Ann serves the dessert and coffee.
