STUD CLUB NEW FEA-
 TURF OF CLUB WORK

With potato prices sailing skyward and figuring conspicu- ously in the high cost of living it causes Arizonans to scratch their heads for a possible solu- tion of the problem. But fort unately the problem is not a serious one, for parts of Ari- zona, particularly the northern part of the state, have proven ideal sections for raising the starchy friend, and even the valleys in the lower elevations have proved that the potato can be raised successfully. For the southern valleys one diff cult problem has been to get the potatoes selected for seed to keep over until planting time. The solution is simple encourage the northern folks to raise pure-bred certified seed of strain that does well in the valleys. To aid in bringing this about the agricultural exten- sion service of the University of Arizona, through it's boys and girls club department, has outlined a potato-growing con- test for boys and girls between the ages of 10 and IS. The unit of production will be one-tenth acre, the club members to do all the work and keep accurate records of costs and returns. Every member to raise certified potato seed. Enrolment in this work is now open. If interest ed write the Agricultural EX- tension Service of the Univer- sity of Arizona, Tucson.

EARLY VEGETABLES
Seeds Planted in Boxes in the House Produce Much Earlier Crops Than Those Sown in The Open

Home gardners who do not own hotbed and who can not readily buy young plants can get much earlier crops of toma- toes, cabbage, cauliflower, peppers, egg plant, and lettuce if they will start the seed for their early gardens in seed boxes in the house. Early po- tatoes sometimes are forced in the same way. Seeds so planted germinate and are ready for transplanting by the time it is safe to SOW the same kind of seed in the open ground. When danger of frost is over and the soil is dry enough to work. therefore, the home gardener starts his early garden with seedlings we'll above the sur face. Transplanting, if prop erly done, instead of hurting seems to help such plants de- velop a strong root system. Garden enthusiasts should get a good deal of pleasure from this kind of preliminary indoor gardening. They also can use boxes to hasten the blooming period of many sorts of flowers which stand transplanting.
 Any sort of wooden box fil- led with good soil answers the purpose. The following di- rections for making seed box es and handling the plants have been prepared by the Bureau of plant Industry and the State Relations Service, United States Department of Agricul-

(Continued from Col. 3
 ture, for the guidance of the canning and gardening clubs in the North and West.
 Making a seed Box
 Seeds of early tomatoes and cabbage, as well as caulifower and pepper, should be planted in a seed box in the house at once. The seed box should be 3 to 4 inches deep, 12 to IA inches wide and 20 to "A inches long. A layer of about 1 inch of gravel or cinders should be placed in the bottom of the box then it should be filled nearly full or rich garden soil, or soil enriched with decayed leaves or manure. The rich soil be- meath the family woodpile or around decaying logs is splen- did for this purpose. The soil should be pressed down firmly with a small piece of board and rows made one-fourth to one-h&lf inch deep and 2 inches apart crosswise of the box. The seed should be distributed 8 to 10 to the inch in the rows and be covered. The soil should be watered and the box set in warm place in the light, in the sunshine by a window be- ing best. Water enough must be given from time to time to cause the seeds to germinate and grow thriftily, but not enough to leak through the box If a piece of glass is used to cover the box, it will hold the moisture in the soil and hasten the germination of the seed. l
 Take out Surplus Plants
 When the plants are from an inch to an inch and a half high, they should be thinned to l or 2inches apart in the row so as to give them space enough to make a strong stocky growth If it is desired to keep the plants which are thinned out, they may be set two inches apart each way in other boxes prepared as mentioned for the seed box. When the weather becomes mild, the box of plants should be set out of doors part of the time so that the plants will Harden off" in prepara-
