One of the most common mistakes a gardener makes is planting seeds too deep. Even A.he experienced hand finds it a painstaking business not to sow fine seeds a little too far below the surface where germination may be considerably slowed. When seeds are planted too deep, especially before the ground has become thoroughly warmed in spring, there is real danger of seeds rotting. Treatment will go far to minimize loss of this kind. The method of treating seeds is simplicity itself. Small handy packets of the fungicide generally are available in seed stores. The packets contain enough chemical dust to treat several pounds of seed. The amount of dust that can be held on the tip of a penknife blade or on the flat end of a toothpick is put into the seed packet vyith the seed and shaken well. 4 wc, '•%#:> to otherf who would follow their 1 jf;:; » ample, we extend this invitation: Come i#- ^ ; J"*1 talk ^ Wl# \ " business can count on us w loans far* * |ony constructive purpose.

Certain species of this grass may grow as high as a 1$- story building, measuring 120 feet.* Good Cafe Help* Cut Tooth Decay Someday tooth decay may be as inexcusable as smallpox is now. You can't be vaccinated against decay -r although even that is under experimentation at the .army medical center in Washington -- but you can cut down caries as much as 80 per cent by following a few inexpensive measures. Wind up meals with a tooth-cleaning raw fruit or vegetable such as celery, apples, carrots; include meat-bone in your menus, cut out snacks between meals; if better cleaning methods aren't available immediately after meals, use water mouthwash vigorously. Tooth decay is largely a result of bacterial activity. Carbohydrates, present in sugars, starches and a few related substances, ferment in the mouth. This sets up ideal conditions for bacteria. The swarming bacilli produce acids, notably lactic acid. The acids attack tooth enamel. From there on the process is all too familiar: cavity, toothache, dental appointment, a new filling.
