TIN CANS Y. POTS FOR
SEEDING PLANTS.
BY f.. WILCOX.

II has long een observed thar
many Young Seeding plants grow
more rapidly and with greater vgoT
in tin cans than in ordinary norII :
pots. In order to obtain further lnfoT-
nation on this subject and 10 der
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 plant
ed in 10 cans and also IN 10 pots.
Five of the cans and five of the pots
were coated with paraffine TO elinin-
ate any effect which h containers
themselves might have on plant
growth. The same amount or SOIL
was used and the treatment as TO
watering vas 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, We're liz inches high,
those in the three Medium porous pots
4 1-2 inches, those in the parafine
pots 5 Ia inches, those in the paraf-
fine tins 6 IA inches, those in the un-
| treated tins I 1-2 inches The height
and vigor of the plants showed a
regular series Of gradations, increas-
| ing in size as the evaporation from the
container decreased.

should be one or more on every farm
should be placed, if possible, in a
sheltered situation, with the southern
side exposed, and we'll out of the reach
Of cats. \ south window is a God
place and permits of observation from
within. Suet, cracked nuts, seeds,
grains and crumbs should be furnished
in gOodly quantity. A suet ball (nlade
by winding a. piece of suet with cord
to keep it from falling to pieces, and
suspended by a strong tWine) may be
hung underneath the porch or sus-
pended from q, branch OF a tree.
English sparrows seldom, if ever,
bother a piece of suet so fixed, but
more or less troubie will be caused by
the sparroWs driving other birds
from the food shelf unless they are
disposed Of. This may be accomplish
ed best by removing the eggs from
their nest alWayS-and destroying
them. For birds that will not come to
the o. shelf, scatter a quantity Of
fine litter from the hay loft III some
open but protected place. Many of
our native sparroWs can be attracted
in this way. Chaff, mixed with grain,
and scattered in a sheltered place near
the hauntS of quail may be the means
of saving many from death by star
vatiOn.
During mild periods the birds find
their own food as they are busy clean
ing up the dormant insect life which
lies hidden away in creviceS between
or under the bark of trees, among the
fallen leaves, and various places.
Should these insects escape the birds,
insect control would be much more
difficult. This weather ~"clean-up' OF
insect fife is a stitch in time,' and
h encouragement Ut protection
given these feathered friends is well
paid back in beneficial SERVICES. A

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 {. 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 nececSar-
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
contalner 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, a space is formed into which
the water runs upon the mex water
ing. The roots are thus alternately
exposed to the aid and submerged in
wafer. 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.
men USED IN w plants, tin
cans show quite extensive diSintegra-
ton within a year. Under the influence
Of oxygen. the soil solution and plant
acids, salts of tin. zine 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 bSOrb these mineral
salts. Naturally the salts Of the tr
and zinc in tin cans must be ir
extreme dilution. Under these condi-
tons tin and zinc are known to
stimulate plant growth to some ex.
tent.
On of the faring tops O
pots, they occupy more space thar
tins. The growth of plants in tins il
faster than in pots, for the reason
that a uniform moisture content i
more easily maintained in tins. W,

will thrive well when watered onI,
every third day, under condition
where pots require Watering ever
day. This brings about an i
time and labor.

Stony Point Gets Il Surprise.

Stony Point Cor. Taylorsville Scout.
Stony DIN was taken much by
surprise Monday morning when it be-
came known that there a been a
wedding in town and that the newly
married couple had actually spent a
night and day in town and escaped
without being found out. Such was
actually the case, for on Saturday
night Mr.. Charles j. Hendren and
Miss Joe Harris were married at the
parsonage by Rev. Z. E. Wagg and
returned to the home OF the brides
father, where they spent the night
without being found out. Sunday
afternoon Mr.. Hendren left for his
school and Monday morning Mrs.
Hendren left for Charlotte, and then
the secret became known after both
were gone. The bride is well known
in Stony Point, having spent most OF
her life here. She a been "a mem
Der Of the firm of Harris sisters, who
have been managing the millinery
business here for some years. She
has a. host of friends who are wish
ing her we'll. Mr.. Hendren is also
quite well known in Stony Pont. He
came here about four years ago as q
student and has spent most of his
time here since. May their married
life be long and happy.

tiny over stocks and are shutting down
looms not working on orders. Print cloths
rule steady and staple printed goods are

the lower priced dress ginghams, but fine
domestic ginghaIns are very quiet. Brown
drills and sheetings are quiet with dull
ness reported on some constructions,
Bleached cotton hold fairly steady. The
demand for fine and fancy cotton is less

ENERGY NOT WASTED

Some one has suggested that If the
time and energy and talent and money
that have been used in the campaign
which closed in Oklahoma last night,
could have been used in some con-
structive work, that Oklahoma would
have attracted the attention of the
world. The states biggest men, its
brightest men its greatest orators have
campaigned every portion of the state.
More than q million of dollars have
been spent in the interest of candt-
dates. There were filed with the state
board almost 1000 candidates, there
were filed with county boards more
than three thousand candidates, and
this vast energy has been used to get
votes. This philosopher says, II the
same energy and money and talent
could have been devoted as enthusi
astically to the building of roads that
Oklahoma would have highways every.
where, If the same energy and money
could have been used for the relief OF
the poor, there would not be a suf-
ferer in the state today from poverty.
But has it been uselessly spent? ?
These thousands of candidates have
been thinking of measures that ap-
peal to people, they have been think
ing of legislation that will make Okla
homa better state, men from the
country districts have mingled with
the men from the towns, ideas have
been exchanged, minds have been
busy, new friendships have been
formed, the battery of the press of
the state has been busy, men have
read more, they have thought more,
and after ali, the campaign has not
been without its good results.
