TIN CANS FOR PLANTS
GROW MORE RAPIDLY THAN IN
ORDINARY POTS.
Great Advantage Is That It Is Easier
to Maintain Nearly Constant
Moisture Content Without
Rapid Drying of Soil.
(By Z. WILCOX.)

1t 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, 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
SIS inches, those in the paraffine tins
6A inches, those in the untreated tins
IN 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 easier
to maintain a nearly constant moist
ure content without a rapid drying of
the soil about the growing roots. This
results in a 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 necessar-
lily in a horizontal direction. Root
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 pot in
drying, 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

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-
treme dilution. Under these conditions
tin and zinc are known to stimulate
plant growth to some extent
On account of the flaring tops OF
pots. they occupy more space than
tins. The 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 that plants in tin cans
will thrive well when watered only
every third day, under conditions
where pots require watering every
day. This brings about an economy in
time and labor.

Under the British trade union act
1912, it was laid down that before any
union could contribute from its funds
to the support of a political party it
must take a ballot OF its members.
Provision was also made safeguarding
the minority from being compelled to
pay towards the support Of political
opinions from which they differ. Trade
unionists of the United Kingdom have
just balloted on the proposition Of pay
ing Socialist members of parliament.
The vote as announced was: For, 1884,
473; against. 324,316.

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
to 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
for 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.
