Great Care Is Required
In Resefting of Plants

Many persons imagine that to reset a
plant all that IS necessary IS 10 dig the
plants up a-.1 set them in the earth
This IS A very grave error, as II sets
the plant back long time Plants are
like human beings, in fact, the theory
Of evolution shows that animals were
once plants.
Any and all plants have delicate feel
iuEs- They require food and drink just
ss do ordinary mortals and when you
allow root to dry up or become in
5urcd 1T is just as though you were TO
give a human being a sore throat or 10
tear your own stomach into pieces.
Every portion Of the root counts and
the slightest injury to that root affects
the plant. Therefore, take every care
whenever you set a plant unless it is IN
2 dormant state, and even then, the
change is likely to result seriously even
10 shrubs or trees.

wife replied
wonder why we couldn't get Mr.
Treetoad TO help us He is very strong
and perhaps ne can get some OF the
furniture down a good deal easier than
1 could
That's all right said Mrs. Frog
but for goodness sake make him keer
that boy Willie OF his at home
g I think we had better not tell ON,
boys we are going to move tomorrow
as they might get up TO some mischief
All right said the husband. Jus

Encouragement for Puzzlers
In First Batch of Solutions

IT BE prompt response to each Of
the Scriptural puzzles published

that the puzzling contingent have
fairly good working knowledge Of
the Book of Books.
Miss Castles problem has proved no
exception to the general rule and was
not bit surprised to see a goodly col
lection OF solutions piled upon my desk
when l arrived yesterday morning.
From the casual glance cast over the
offerings, as ] was filing them, I failed
70 discover a perfectly correct solution.
OF course, tucked snusly away in
some corner a more careful survey
might reveal contribution tallying pre-
cisely with that furnished by the author
OF the problem. but, as I said before,
did not chance TO see it and I am Civ
ing out this information for the comfort
and support of the later arrivals.
With the fielC still open. the encour-
eEcment TO renewed effort is cores
pondinsly strengthened and I hope be-
fore the end of the week TO hear from
everybody in the family" Almost
every other contestant misses No. 3.
although 1 must confess the answers
forwarded look very plausible indeed.
Nevertheless, when you see the correct
solution you will agree with me that

There are two general classes Of
