Common Errors In
Use of Plant Food


A principal cause of error in using
plant food is misunderstanding with
regard to what plant food will do.
Many fail to realize that a soil made
fertile by the use of plant food will
not produce fully the desired results
if other growth factors, such as soil
moisture or light conditions, are un-
favorable.
Plant food will not compensate
completely for other unfavorable con-
ditions, but will tend to minimize
other errors, since most soils are de-
ficient in plant food and feeding will
give markedly increased plant yigor
and increased ability to cope with
adverse conditions.
Plant food should be applied ev-
enly. Uneven distribution causes
spotty growth and also the possibil-
ity of injury through overfeeding.
In the case of making a new seed
bed or in preparing garden soil, the
plant food should be mixed with the
top soil. This can usually be done
when such stirring of the soil is de-
sirable in order to kill weeds or to
level and smooth the soil prior to
planting. Do not apply plant food
in layers in the soil. If plant food
is mixed with the soil in approx
mately the right proportion as given
in directions supplied by the dealer
there is no danger Of injury to seeds,
bulbs, or tubers.
Plant food should not remain in
contact with the foliage or stems of
plants. Sometimes, as in the case of
small bedding plants and the grass
of the lawn, cannot we'll be fed ex-
cept by applying plant food over
them. The best procedure is to

FACING LIFE PROBLEMS

He was young lawyer and the
stranger who had just burst uncere-
moniously into the room was bring
ing what might be the first case.
But the young lawyer had not lis
tened long before he made up his
mind that justice was on the other
side.
'"I'm sorry you are having this
trouble" he said, "but | cannot take
your case. The defendant seems to
me to be the one who ought to win"
'But you are a lawyer" the visi-
tor protested. "I'll pay you now."
"I'm not interested in the fee but
in the justice of the case" was the
lawyers answer "The important
fact is that you ought not to ask
the court to press dishonest adj
vantage over this man. Morally and
legally you have no claim against
him.
The result was that the young at
torney advised his would-be client to
settle the matter out of court. A
business agreement was planned.
When the lawyer had finished, his
visitor said, "Well, you're queer
lawyer, but | guess you're right.
Now, what do | owe you?"
Nothing. | refused to take your
case"

"Well, when | was on my vacation

The doctor laughed. "You're all

oped by now, it never will-not from

spinster, "but | do love talking about

Canned Variety Saves Time and
Energy

Ponce De Leon, adventurer and dis
coverer Of Florida, may not have
found the Fountain of Youth as he
hoped, but he did start one meritor-
ious practice when he fed his buc-
cancers on the "pomelo' because he
thought it must be food for them. We
know how Ponce "builded better than
he knew" because the pomelo, sweet
ened, adapted and improved, was the
ancestor of our grapefruit, a most
valuable source of Vitamin C.
The homemaker and menu -planner,
knowing that while only small
amounts of the "anti-scorbutic" vita
min will keep us from the afflictions
resulting from its lack, large
amount is necessary for full health
and vigor, will be glad to find she can
serve grapefruit painlessly! Expert
ments have proven that vitamin G in
grapefruit is not destroyed by the can
ming process. Not segment, not a
core, not even a seed to remove!
Canned grapefruit is versatile
serve it as canape or cocktail for
the first course; as main dish, as a
salad for the central course; or as a
fruit dessert. And by all means re-
member it's famous for its "wake-up
taste" for breakfast

USE OF THUGS
FAILS TO HALT
SH OE STRIKE
Five Star Workers Hit
Attempt to Use
Terror

NEW YORK.--In an attempt to
dull the fighting spirit of the Five
Star shoe workers who have been
striking for weeks, the bosses have
resorted to sending thugs to homes
of the strikers telling them to stay
away from the picket line.
Workers during different days of
this week reported to the union
headsuarters that when they entered
their homes gorrillas with guns con-
cealed in their pockets told them
not to come to the strike headquar-
tiers.
The strikers, of course, came to the
strike headquarters and assured the
rest of the workers that they worried
very little about this bulldozing tao
tic of the bosses. Denouncing the
gangster tactics of the bosses, the
union yesterday issued a statement
holding Mr.. Weinman, the Five Star
boss, responsible for the action of the
gangsters and demanded that a stop
be put to this type OF activity
The strike of the Princely- shoe
workers is progressing. In spite Of
the fact that the bosses have put
scabs to work in the shop, strikers
are confident that they can force
the company to terms for with scab
labor there is no production coming
through.

MASS DEFENSE
FOR WEINSTEIN
LID. Pushes Fight for
Framed Striker

NEW YORK, NJ Y. - A mass de-
Tense of Samuel Weinstein, strike
leader who has been framed on a
charge of first degree manslaughter,
is called for by the international La
bor Defense, which is leading the
fight for his release.
The Weinstein case will occupy an
important position on the order of
business of the I. L. D. District Con-
Vention. to be held at Manhattan Ly-
ceum, 66 E. 4th ST., on August %.
Weinstein was employed by the
Muskin Manufacturing Co. and was
a leading figure in the strike called.
by the workers employed by the COM
pany.
On July Goth, he was arrested while
marching with the picket line in
front of the plant and framed on evil
dence supplied by man named
Weissglass of VIGOROUSLY low char
aoter and tool of the manufacturers.
WeissglaSs claimed that Weinstein
attacked him and his wife and that
his wife died of the injuries.
1t has been conclusively proven by
witnesses that Weinstein was being
shaved in barber shop in Brooklyn
at the time of the assault ON the
Weissglasses in the Bronx. More
over, people who live near where the
picket line marched have testified
that they saw Weinstein on the picket
line from a. m. on the day that
the attack took place.

YPSL BACKS OUT
OF Vel DEBATE
Socialist Youth Afraid
to Debate Communists

NEW YORK.-Afraid to face the
young workers in answer to the
charges made against it by the Young
Communist League, the City Execu-
tive Committee of the Young Peoples
Socialist League is squirming of the
debate already arranged between the
two organizations. The Young Com
munist charge that the YPSL lead
ership is helping to break and sabo-
tage the struggles of the workers.
A challenge for this debate was is
sued by the YPSL. City Executive
Committee on July 10, admittedly as
a result of pressure on the part of its
membership in the various local
branches.
The excuse behind which the
Young Peoples Socialist League lead
ership is attempting to worm out of
the debate is the refusal of the Young
Communist League to accept the
gag" condition demanded by the
YPSL City Executive Committee.
This condition is that joint leaf
let be issued by both organizations
and that this joint leaflet be the
only leaflet and that evidence of
leaflets printed by the Young Com
munist League or Young Peoples So
cialist League. or by subsidiary,
friendly or allied organizations of the
aforementioned shall be sufficient
reason for annulling the debate"
The YPSL City Executive Commit
tee wishes to keep in the dark the
charges of treachery and betrayal of
the working youth made against it
by the Young Communist League. At
the same time, however, it publishes
monthly an organ which is devoted
almost exclusively to the vilest at
tacks and ISLANDERS against the Com
munists.
The placing of this condition, to
which the YPSL leaders know the
Young Communist League will never
agree, is maneuvre to satisfy the
demands of the rank and file mem
bers of the YPSL for such debate
by the issuance of the challenge and
at the same time to avoid being ex-
posed in such a debate by backing
out of it under cover of purely
technical reason"
The Young Communist League
holds the YPSL leadership directly
responsible for trying to prevent the
debate. Tt challenges the YPSL
leaders to defend their treachery to
the young workers in open debate.
