From every section OF the United
states the very best birds Of which this
country boasts are coming to the show
of the Southern international Poultry
association" declared I. M. Poole, sec
rotary of the organization, Saturday,
the day after the entry list forl the big
event closed.
Mr. Poole is enthusiastic over the
show, which will be held at the At
lanta auditorium December 11-1e. in
elusive.
1T still have no idea of the total num-
Der of entries, but am certain that
there will be at least 1000 birds in
the big auditorium, when the show
opens And. that in itself will be
sight which should draw thousands of
visitors"
Mr.. Poole with his entire office force
has been working Is hours out of "a
during the last three days, attending
to the many details which necessarily
accumulate before a show of the mag
nitude of that of the Southern Inter-
national. ~
Entries have literally poured into
the secretary's office at such rate
that 1t will be impossible for him to
announce the exact total until next
week AS is usual with poultry ex-
hibitors, they did not pegin sending
their entries in until the last few days.
Three days before the list closed there
were scarcely 1000 entries in the South
ern International office. Since then
practically every mail has brought
stack of letters so big that they
couldn't be opened and counted before
the next batch arrived.

FROM fall till spring seems like a
long time 10 a boy, especially If he has
choice lot of seeds to put into the
ground. But there is a great deal to
be done during the time of waiting.
The boy who does not mean to waste
his time and labor, must learn some
thing about what his plants will need
before he is even ready to prepare his
ground.
The first thing needful is to under
stand something about the makeup of
the seed itself. AS seeds are quite SINH
lar in general characteristics, studying
one closely will give fair understand
ing of others.
The common white bean is easy to
get, and to study, so we will take it as
an example.
Soak few beans in water overnight.
Then take one and cut the tough outer
covering around the edge with the point
of pin. The halves can then be easily
spread apart, and the tiny plant discov-
cred. 1t lies snugly Graded in one end
Of the beans You will see that 1t has
two parts, a small waxen point. and a
tiny, yeilowish, folded leaf. The point
is the root, and tender, delicate thing
1t is.
This little root must work its way
down into the ground, both to feed and
to hold in place the little plant. If the
ground is not well prepared, II 1t is
too hard and cloddy, the little root may
become so broken and bruised as to
hinder, or perhaps entirely check. its
growth.
The tiny leaf, too, which must push
upward, needs soil that is soft and
loose, If it is not to be injured
Plant few seeds in q bed of wet
sawdusts and you will soon see, branch
ing out from the main root, many little
Footlets. A little later, a set of fine
hairs. called root-hairs. will appear on
the rootlets.
1t Is through these that the plant
gets its nourishment from the soil. They
take up all the elements that the plant
needs, and send them up through little
veins to the stems and leaves. as your
food Is taken through your body by the
veins, in the shape Of blood
The plants blood is called sap. The
tiny mouths can only use the food in
the soil when 1t is Sin solution that
Is to say, when it is thoroughly dis
solved. You can see that II win need

considerable moisture to do this. If
the ground is too light and loose, the
water will all drain and dry away, and
no matter how rich the sail may be-
the plant will die for want of food.
So an important thing to keep in
mind. when preparing the seed-bed. is
that the top soil, to the depth of sew
eral inches, shout be worked up
lightly and loosely enough so that the
root can eadily push through. and
still be pressed firmly enough so that
the moisture can not all escape
All over the stem and leaves are
little openings. called pores" It
takes a microscope of quite high
power TO detct them. These are the
plants lungs. Through them it gets
the air it needs to live on.
If you cover a plant so tighetly that
it cannot get air. ii will smother 5ust
as surely as you would with blanket
over your head. That is what Will
happen if you get your seeds In too
deep. or if you let the ground get
hard above them before they come
up.
If you wish to be sure Just how deep.
to plant your seeds, try this little expert
ment.
Take tall glass tumbler. or a pint
fruit jar. and ill it with earth Press
seeds Of any kind ydh wish to test
Press the first clear to the bottom.
the second about half way to the bot
tom. and the third leave within an inch
of the top Do not put them directly
over one another. Wrap a heavy pa
per around the glass to keep out the
light. and keep the earth in it moist and
warm.
Every day slip of the paper. and note
how the seeds are doing. whichever one
thrives the best is the one you want
to take as your guide in the matter Of
depth. What do you tt nix will happen
to the one at the bottom?
You have noticed that there is a great
part of the seed that Is not filled up bv
ne baby plant This part Is filed with
blood upon which the plant lives until il
gets roots long enough to feed itself.
After the food in the seed Is all used
up. there must be other food m the soil
ready for II to live on. This is the crfti-s
cal tim in young plants life. If It
Is starved and stunted now. it viii never
make up for it.
