TIN CANS FOR PLANTS
GROW MORE RAPIDLY THAN IN
ORDINARY POTS.
Great Advantage is That IL Is Easier
to Maintain Nearly Constant
Moisture Content Without
Rapid Drying of Soil.
(By E. wILCOX.D

It has long been observed that
many young seeding plants grow
more rapidly and with greater vigor
in tin cans than in ordinary florists
pots. In order to obtain further infor.
nation on this subject and to deter
mine the cause of the difference in
growth, a set of experiments was car
ried out, by the writer, the general
results of which will be given here
Young uniform seedlings were
planted in ten cans and also in ten
pots. Five of the cans and five of the
pots were coated with paraffine to
eliminate any effect which the contain
ers themselves might have on plant
growth. The same amount of soil
was used and the treatment as to wa
tering was uniform and the same care
was given to each. The plants were
as near uniform as possible at the
start. At two months of age the plants
in two Of the pots more porous than
the rest were 31a inches high, those
in the three medium porous pots Az
inches, those in the paraffine pots
Els inches, those in the paraffine tins
6M inches, those in the untreated tins
7A inches. The height and vigor of
the plants showed a regular series of
graduations, increasing in size as the
evaporation from the container de-
creased.
The great advantage Of using tin
cans rather than porous pots seems to
rest in the fact that in tins it is ca sier
to maintain a nearly constant moist
ure content without a rapid drying of
the soil about the growing roots. This
results in more rapid and vigorous
growth. Since nearly one-half OF the
evaporation from pots takes place
through the side of the pot, the move
ment of this part of water is neces sar-
lily in a horizontal direction. ltoot
growth responds to the direction Of
the water movements in soil. There
fore, the roots reach the side Of the
container more quickly and in greater
numbers in pots than in tin cans.
After watering, the soil rapidly dries
by escape of water through the side Of
the pot, thus leaving the young root
lets too dry By the shrinkage OF the
soil away from the side of the po% in
drying, a space is formed into Which
the water runs upon the next water
ing. The roots are thus alternately
exposed to the air and submerged in

of Mrs. Gerard, for. as ever, she
brought with her her own maid, while
her footman waited in the corridor,
not for emergencies. but for appear
ances.
Her once pretty but now age-puck-
cred face had been as thoroughly con-
cealed as possible with various expen-
siye substances which are found in
beatty parlors, and her hair was prob.
ably the most costly In that part Of
towp that night, and this is saying
muth, for very costly tresses some
times deck the fair on Broadway.
The restaurant had wrought EVIL
denSes Of It's pride in its allegiance to
Broadway's favorite delicacy. A gi
gan1ic floral lobster occupied the CEN
ter Of the table, it's antennae extend
ed toward the host, one of it's claws
stretched toward the seat reserved for
Mrs! Gerard, the other somewhat less
f0nd of the ladies, for 1t yearned hun
grlly toward Bob VILLAGES place. AT
each lady's place were little Holsters
nicely wrought of gold. with jeweled
eyes. for each male guest a silver Gig
arctic case had been fashioned into a
disconsolate Holsters shape with
curled-up tail and dropping claws de-
voutly folded on its breast.
Broadway was a perfect host. hos
pitable, easy, reader to listen than
declaim, full of admiration for the
ladies. full Of the perfection of good
fellowship for his men guests.
Al first he found it difficult to put
out Of his mind the thought that this
would be the last of all his gorgeous
nights on Broadway. The notion
fought for permanent position In his
head that after these wild hours he
would be as far from Broadway as that
earnest cow-explorer which was cred
tied with having first laid out the
street. The thought continually OBJ
truded that this must be to him q
funeral, not festal feast. His hand
shook as he raised his glass to the

"D0UND FOR
WESTERN CANADA"
a PRAIRIE SCHOONER SLOGAN,
THAT STARTED FROM
NEBRASKA

Four horses abreast attached 60 q
red painted prairie schooner, with
windows and protruding stovepipe,
with the words, Bound for Canada"
on the schooner's side, was the object
Of considerable interest as 1t passed
on the way northward from Nebraska
a short time ago through the towns
IN Nebraska. South and North Dakota.
After some weeks of strenuous travel
ing in this way, Mr.. j. F. Jensen made
the overland trip from Jameson, Ne
braska, and with his little family made
the regular customs entry at North
Portal, in the province of Saskatche-
wan. Their destination was Willow
Bunch, q district that Mr.. Jensen
had selected as one in which It was
possible for him to work out his foY-
tune. He located on good half sec
ton OF land, and intended putting on
1t some cattle that would fatten ON
the wild prairie grass that grows SO
luxuriously in that district. In addi-
ton to this his purpose was to Guilt
vate portion of it and raise wheat,
oats, barley or fax In short, q life
devoted to mixed farming was what
he had in view and 1t is easy to I'M
derstand that he will make a success
OF L. and in year or so will attach
some more land holdings.
Although his beginning may be
small. 1t may safely be said that Mr..
Jensen, like thousands Of others who
have begun life in western Canada on
no more and with probably much less,
will prosper. He will not be far from
line Of railway. Schools will be close
at hand and other social conditions so
necessary in a new country are avail.

After the tomato plants start to
grow they should be gone through
very carefully and all of the suckers
removed, so that the strength will go
10 the main stalk. This will cause the
fruit to ripen much better.
Tomatoes will grow on almost any
kind of soil, but It must be made very
rich by the use of good, well rotted
stable manure. A good grade of fer
tilizer may also be applied to the base
Of the plant and then worked into the
soil.
Muck lands are not at all practical
fer growing tomatoes, because they
make too large a growth of vines, and,
consequently, do not yield as much
fruit as when grown on heavy soil.

water. In tin cans these conditions
do not occur. No water can escape
through the tin. The moisture con-
tent Of the whole ball Of soil is uni
form and consequently the roots dis
tribute themselves uniformly through
the mass.
When used in growing plants, tin
cans show quite extensive disintegra.
ton within year. Under the influence
of oxygen, the soil solution and plant
acids, salts of tin, zinc and iron are
formed from the can and solder. The
growing tips of rootlets come in con-
tact with the side Of the can, and are
in position to absorb these mineral
salts. Naturally the salts of the tin
and zinc in tin cans must be in ex-
IRENE dilution. Under these conditions
tin and zinc are known to stimulate
plant growth to some extent.
On account CT the flaring tops OF
pots, they occupy more space than
tins. Tla3 growth Of plants in tins is
faster than in pots, for the reason
that a uniform moisture content is
more easily maintained in tins. We
find in practice thai plants in tin cans
will thrive we'll when watered only
every third day, under conditions
where pots require watering every
day. This brings about an economy in
time and labor.
