results OF which win be given here.
Young uniform seedlings we're
planted in ten cans and also In ten
pots. Five OF the cans and I've of the
pots were coated with paraffina to
eliminate any effect which the contain.
ers themselves might have on plant
growth. The same amount OF soil
was used and the treatment ss 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

the plants showed q regular series OF
graduations. Increasing In size as the

The great advantage OF using tin
cans rather than porous pots seems TO
rest In the fact that in tins IL Is easier
to maintain a nearly constant moist

the soil about the growing roots This
results in more rapid and vigorous
growth Since nearly one-halT OF the
evaporation from pots takes place
through the side OF the pot, the move

growth responds to the direction OF

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.

ALL IN ONE MEASURE.

AT the behest OF President Wilson
TO hurry up legislation outlined by
his antitrust programme. the House
Judiciary committee has combined the
four bills that have been before II in
one bill. That measure Is now before
Congress, and will be pushed TO its
passage In compliance with the hurry
up order. In some instances. the re-
vised programme OF the President
softens the restrictive features OF the
original five brothers This Is
especially true OF the provisions deal
ing with holding companies. In the
antitrust bills as originally presented
subsidiary concerns representing the
legitimate growth of corporations
were prohibited. The revised meas
ure. while It prohibits corporation
from acquiring control over a com
petitor where such acquisition might
tend TO create a monopoly in any line
OF business. IL is provided that this
prohibition shall not prevent a cor.
poration engaged in commerce from
causing the formation OF subsidiary
corporations for the actual carrying
on of their immediate lawful business
or the natural and legitimate branches
thereof or from owning and holding
all or a part Of the stock OF such sub
s'diary corporations when the effect
OF such formation is not to eliminate
or lessen competition.
lnterlocking boards are treated in
section which prohibits such d.
rectorates between railroads and cor.
porations that are engaged IN selling
railroad supplies. The same prohi-
bition Is extended II interiockinr a.
