Window boxes will serve for starting early plants for the very small garden, but where a considerable number of to-- mato, cabbage and other plants of this <haracter are wanted, it is a good plan to make a small hotbed and later a cold frame for the care of the plants, Hotbeds may be constructed in two or three ways, points out the United States Department of Agriculture. One way is to dig out a pit, which is either walled up with brick, cement or with boards, ind All this pit with eight to fourteen inchbes of fresh horse manure b:fim;nm_nm io Sve or six inches of fine loum soll, and over this a sash or a beary musiin cover to keep out the cold.

If the manure is very d&ry a little water should be added, so that it will produce heat without be other kind of fuel in this fiune. In a foew cases where the hotbed can be located along one side of the house it can be heated with hot water from the hot wuter heating plant of the Awelling. heating hotbeds, but in case these are used, or if gas is employed, a pipe or ventilation should be attached to the TO BUILD HOTBED AND A COLD FRAME Pit With Fresh Manure Required for One; No Artificial Heat for Other.

The best method is to bury the mnm'fl"~--- perature has below 85 degrees. A hotbed, like the plant box, requires especial care in watering ; If too much wauter is applied the small plants are almost certain to "damp off" at the gurface of the--ground.

While pot--grown plants are desirable, very good results can be secured by simply spacing the plants in the soil of the cold frame at distances of four or five inches for tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, and about two or three ting, leaves, straw or something of that sort during the cold nights the most tender plants can be carried glong and grown to considerable size for setting in the garden. south window answers the purpose of : hotbed or cold frame.

Senator Dunlap has m bill and he opens it with "Any contiguous territory bounded by school district lines" may be organ ized. _ He has left out the ~word-- "sompact" now in the law., 'The su-- preme court of this state ih decis-- fons relating to high school dis-- trleunwthatlnotdtrtz.linlly organize" that they must 'com-- pact and contiguous territory."

Sen-- ator Dunlap has given a good deal of study to the school laws and has hasténed into the fray as it seems to me to save the situation for the community school as now Organized znd to prevent the breaking up of such schools without making a hard job of it for those who think they are wronged from its organization. He would allow community schools to be organized--as is now the law by a petition of 20 percent of the voters asking for an election in a certain territory which they pick out. If a majority of the voters are faovrable the district proceeds to organize. From now on his' plan differs in that it puts this school 'vnder the control of the county sup-- erintendent of schools to have the exclusive power, in his discretion. to change the boundaries so as to: 1st--Annex any common school district to this community school by a petition of two--thirds of the lega! voters of this district asking for an-- nexion. * 3rd--To detach territory from one community school distfict and anne> it to another community school dis-- triet.

Should uny legal voter object to what is being done he can appeal to the state superintendent of public instruc-- tendent and the community school as the county superintendent may decide to lay it out. Senator Jewell has a bill which seems to be along lines more nearly meeting the notions of the members who have been hurt by the organ-- ization of community schools. His amendment provides as follows: "Provided, that i#f, at such elec-- tion, a majority of the legal voters of any school district» contained within the territory described in said petition, so voting, shall vote again-- st the question so submitted, then deemed a part of said organization community consolidated . school diz care to come in. 1 fear Senator Dun-- lap's bill will help them but little 1 take it this bill has the support of the school men of the state who have a strong lobby at Springfield and some detail as many common .school districts are considering community schools and some will hnfi consideration for districts against what this lobby wants, If they do the jobby sends word to the teachers of that senator's district to oppose him when he seeks --re-- élection.
