Do Not OvercroWd
Your Young Plants
Transplant From Flats to
Larger Boxes or Roomy
Flower Pots.

Overcrowdlng, perhaps, Is the great
est fault of the average gardener. Be
cause the plants are small when they
first appear above ground, he will not
spnce them properly, because they loOk
lonesome with an eXpanse of bare soil
between them. However, they will
grow fast, and at maturity will use
nll the space allowed them, and usual
Iy are growing into and over each
other.
This fault should be corrected when
the transplanting is done, or If the
seeds are sown in the open ground, by
judlcious thinning. Follow directions,
which are always contained on seed
packets as to proper distances, to the
letter Work with Il tape measure
or yardsticli. The crop of many
vegetables will be in proportion to the
chance they have to develop. The
bush lima bean is an excellent object
lesson. Many gardeners have given
mp the bush lima as not being produc-
five enough to justify its space. But
give the individual bushes 1S inches
apart, so they will have chance, and
ordinarily good soil and moisture con-
ditions.
The rule to follow in transplanting
seedlings is to move them as soon as
the leaves touch. The first trans
planting should be done when the
first pair Of true leaves appear. If
they are nor placed at sufficient dis
tnnce, and often 1t is not convenient
10 do so mt this time. because of lack
of space indoors or in the hotbed, be
prepared to move them when the de-
veloping leaves touch. If you do not,
struggle to reach the sunlight.

out into space until it can reach more
closely packed earth. The fine soil
draws moisture from the bottom up
ward by capillary attraction, and the
finer it is the mere readily the mois-
ture is drawn through the surface and
the soil evenly moistened. In coarse,
lumpy soil the water is not drawn up
regularly from below.
For this reason it is necessary to
take extra care to sift the soil for
seed boxes, and for the top layer Of
the hotbed or coldframe. In order to
prevent too rapid drying out, it is nee
essary to pack the fine soil firmly
over the seeds
The coarse screenings from the soil
are useful to spread over the bottom
of the seed box to provide drainage.
over this the fine soil should be
spread evenly and firmed down. The
finer the soil and the more fertile 1t
is the better the termination and
quicker the growth of the little plants.
A great deal of seed is wasted, and
many attempts mt sowing seeds In
doors prove failures at the very start
because the soil is not properly pre-
pared. Next to this is the failure to
provide suitable drainage. The seed
box must be built so that the soil will
retain moisture, but will not remain
water soaked and sour. Overwater-
ing promotes n fungous disease known
as "damping OFF, which causes the
seedlings to rot off at the surface of
the soil This fungus often will ruin
box of seedlings before the grower
knows what is happening. 1t can be
obviated by providing drainage at the
start.-Nationa Garden Bureau.

California Cork Trees

1t is said that within the past dec
ade cork culture has shown promise
of becoming one of the important in
dustries of California. A considerable
acreage of Spanish cork oak is now in
cultivation at the forest plantation
owned by the University of California,
and all of the trees are, it is said,
thriving and growing vigorously. On
the elder trees there is a good growth
of young bark, some of 1t more than an
inch in thickness.
Most of the trees are now about
seven years old and are from twenty
five to thirty feet in height and from
eight to ten inches in diameter at the
butts. This culture has been made in
ordinary soil. Both the climate and
soil seem very favorable to the growth
of the Spanish cork oak
This is the first time that any at.
tempt has been made to grow cork in
California and the experiment seems
to have been worth making.

Good Seed Bed Is

Soil Should Be Carefully
Sifted Before Placed

A sponge's capacity to take up wa
ter is largely dependent upon the size
of the holes in ii. A coarse sponge
with holes rs wide in diameter as the
finger and many of them, will not hold
as much moisture in suspension as
will sponge of the same size with
fine pores and smaller orifices.
The soil acts as n sponge, holding
moisture for the plants, and the finer
the soil the more readily it holds
moisture and the more moisture will it
contain. Finely sifted and close

ASTRONOMERS FIND
ANOTHER UNIVERSE
Add 100000 Light Years to
Greatest KnouUn Distance.

The growth In the known size of the
universe which began when Calico de-
vised his small, low-powered telescope
has just received another startling in
crement mt the hands OF the astrono-
mers Of the Harvard observatory.
This time new and distinct uni
verse has been found, and its great dis
tance adds n matter of 100000 light
years, or about four qulntilllons Of
miles, to the greatest known distance
to anything in existence.
Man still continues to diminish in
relation to the general plan of things.
The new universe Is so far away that
the rays of light which reach us after
travelling through empty space at n
rate that would carry them twelve
times around the earth In one second
have been journeying from the newly
discovered universe to the photograph
ic plate of the Mount Wilson telescope
ever since the earliest known type of
man, the apeman of Java, began evolv-
ing from his altogether simian ances-
tor nearly a million years ago. One
cannot grasp its significance, even
dimly.
Stars have names, but so far as
tronomers have had to do without
names for universes. IN. G. c. 6S22"
has been known for many years, but
pictures of 1t made by the 100-inch
rejecting telescope at Mount Wilson
(Cal.) observatory have now resolved
1t into complete universe of suns,
like our own stellar universe of suns
or stars" Whether there are also
planets or worlds" cannot be said, be-
cause Mt these immense distances they
would not be visible.
In fact, IN. G. G. $500" itself is
wholly invisible to the naked eye. 1t
lies in the constellation known as
Sagittarius, the Archer, which is itself
too close to the sun at this time of
year to be visible.
Visible from the southern hemis-
phere are the Megallanic clouds, which
are now known to be stellar systems
wholly separate from our own and
from the Milky Way. In apparent
magnitude IN. G. C. $500" is very
much smaller than the Magellanic
clouds, but the great difference in size
is only apparent, for it is vastly far
ther away. In other respects it is
similar.
1t is a universe, distinct and isolat-
ed in space by distances which, when
compared with those between the
earth and other objects in our own
universe, such, for instance, as the
(some 100000 times as far as from the
sun to the earth), are even then al
most Incompatible.
The mind reels. 1t has been said
that nothing so greatly influences to a
belief in religion as the study of as
tronomy.-Outlook.

FIGHT PROMOTER STARTLES IN.
oUlSlToRS BY TESTIMONY IN
DAUGHERTY PROBE
FILM FACTS ARE GIVEN
RICHARD STATES THAT PRoTEc-
TIoN FOR EXHIBITION OF FIGHT
FILMS WAS PROMISED

Washington.-More reels of the fam
GUS fight film deal" We're run off be-
fore the Daugherty investigating COM
mittee by Tex Hlckard, promoter, and
Thomas G.. Spellacy, former depart
ment of justice agent.
Their testimony partly corroborated
and partly conflicted with previous
stories told the committee. In his
statement summing up the days devel-
Opments, Attorney General Daugnerty
declared that Rickard had ''eXonerat-
ed" him from failure to prosecute film
exhibitions, and that Spellacy's testi-
mony mainly was "hearsay."
Rickard, in two lively hours on the
stand, told of his part in the contract
for widespread exhibition of the
Dempsey Carpenter fight films of
1921, but said he had been 'bunked"
by his associates had made little mon
ey and had been twice fined for his
part in the exhibition.
Spellacy confirmed generally the
statement of Gerald o. Holdridge, an
other former department of justice
agent, regarding the story told them
by Jap Muma and its involvement of
Mr. Daugherty, Edward b. Mclean,
the Washington publisher, and others.
He quoted Muma as saying Daugherty
suggested that AIuma should get cut
in the profits of the exhibitions, but
disclaimed Holdrldge's version, that
the attorney general suggested a 90
per cent cut"
81 got bunked-that's ALL" was Rick
ards only explanation of the promises
of legislation when senators eX-
pressed amazement that he considered
them seriously.
"They did not do anything for us,
he said, regarding Muma and his as
sociates. I'VE got no protection and
got nothing ana they got their money
without doing anything"
The entire picture netted only $780,
O56, Rickard declared, challenging
the testimony of Quimby that the
profits We're $125,OO0 and that $65,0OO
was paid to Orr, Martin and Muma.
Presenting an auditors statement,
Rickard said Orr received S4,509O2
and NIuma and Martin each $3,3S1.
Pressed vigorously by senator's,
Rickard admitted knowledge that the
film exhibitions outside of New Jer-
sey were illegal, but said he did not
personally participate in any transac-
tions except those in New York and
Illinois Quimby shipped the other
films, he said.
Reference to the testimony of the
witness was made in n statement
from the Department of Justice. 1t
follows:
I'm commenting upon the proceed
ings before the committee Investigate
ing the Department of Justice, the
attorney general is glad to note that

IT PAYS TO KEEP IT up

Merchants who think single ad is
sufficient, or that the same ad should
not be repeated, should read the fol-
lowing, by James J. Montague, in the
Thayer, Kansas, News:
He saw an ad from day to day
And muttered, "I defy it.
Their stuff may be what they say,
But Pm not going to buy IT,"
As time wore on he made remarks
1t would not do to mention,
For he was mad because that ad
Was forcing his attention.
But in a week or two, or three,
He said: "There's no denying
The way that ad gets hold of me
The stuff may be worth trying"
For just about fortnight more
He dared mere words to win him;
And then the ad completely had
Aroused the spender in him.
Next day he drifted in store
And quietly expended
A few big iron dollars for
The stuff the ad commended.
He found it filled long-felt want;
It's excellency surprised him;
And now he's glad because the ad
So deftly hypnotized him.

dexing them as they used to do, has
saved not only money in clerical hire,
but many, many square feet of stor-

made it possible for some of the en-

to put into shape a card index Of

finished it will make it possible for

obtain the necessary information re-

"Like all of our government
branches in Washington today, the

has been greatly improved. The system
of the United States encourages every
