Thin sowing obviates the work of thinning which will be necessary later and also makes it easier to transplant if it is desired to move the little plants. A much greater crop can be obtained from a packet of see'dshy .thin sowing than by thick sowmg. Too thick sowing indoors or in frames or hotbeds offers a fertile tiled for damping 00', a disease that makes short work of seedlings once it gets a start. Room and ventila- tion are the preventives. There are now neat little seed sowing devices sold by seed houses to make sowing thin enough and regularly spaced a comparatively small matter compared with the time-honored one of sowing direct from the packet which required con- siderable practice and skill to be accomplished successfully. The greatest care not to sow too thickly is required by the finest seeds. The coarse ones are easily regulated. LAD FINDS FATHER’S BODY HANGING IN BARN The body of Paul Oltsher, who conducted a butcher shop in Pais- ley for the past 20 years, was found hanging in a stable back of his shop this afternoon. A four-year- old son, who happened to go into the stable about 5 o‘clock this even- ing. discovered the lifeless body of his father hanging from a beam. The little boy ran crying to the house and told his mother, who rushed out to the stable and cut the rope. but found that her hus- band had been dead for some little time. as the body was quite cold. He was about 45 years of age and was a well-built man. weighing over 300 pounds. He came to Paisley from Hora '20 years ago. I!
